City of Mexico, April IS. Owing to the groat difficulty la establishing communication with the cities situated in the region of the greatest devastation wrought by the recent earthquake details are coming to this city very slowly. Each succeeding Intelligence magnifies instead of diminishes the extent of the disaster. From the latest reports it Is learned that the earth is now quiet in the region which was sorely afflicted, but the last shock occurred as late as noon yesterday. In the list of known dead, which now totals fifty, and of the Injured, which approximates 500, are many names of Mexicans prominent in the official and social life of the region. Collapse of a School. Sj One of the most remarkable stories of miraculous escape from death in this earthquake, or perhaps any other one, comes from Santa Julia. In that colony is located the Saleslano college, a school for children. The building was a new structure, and supposed to be earthquake proof. When the big shock came Sunday night over 100 children were asleep in the dormitories. Thirty-five of these, together with the teachers of the institution, succeeded in leaving the building before the second story and the roof fell In. Seyenty Children Missing. When the terrified teachers counted their charges and found that seventy were missing theyimprovised rope ladders and ascended to where they believed they would find the mangled remains of the missing pupils. Their
surprise and joy wereunbouuded when
they reached the highest point of the
ruins and found the terrified children

one was even Injured. The roof in falling had rested on the beams, and
n space was left over the place where the little ones had sought refuge. The children were safely conveyed to the
