Before the homeless wont to Sala-) munca and other towns for shelter, one old womun, crying for her lost! daughter, said to me, "Like most! people of the town, I was preparing Junch and 'hud not water belling on gus stover or charcoal fres. That is why so many ftres broke out. I thought it was on earthquake. The explosion knocked me to the floor and the ceiling and roof collapsed un top of me."
Other refugees" told me that they had been in bed resting because it was Sunday. The explosion knocked sume of them to the ceiling which then crushed to the floor with them.
Passing through Avila, on my way! here, I was told that even Avila heard the explosion. The flour mills and rubber shoe factories, forming the main industry of the town, were both burning this afternoon..
As I approached Penaranda by molur ear along the main highway, 1 saw columns of black and white noke, then came upon debris which had been flung skyward and scatter- ed for miles around the city; broken coffee pots, bits of bedding, parts of a train, and human and animal- remains.
