MEXICAN 'QUAKE.
■ A VOLCANIC OUTBURST. - COLIMA ACTIVE. TWO TOWNS IN RUINS. THOUSANDS HOMELESS. A HEAVY DEATH ROLL. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright) (Received 1.50 p.m.) NEW YORK, June 8. Reports from Mexico state that after the earthquake the volcano of Colima, which has been quiescent for some time, resumed its activity. The tow«s of Tonila and San Andreas were badly damaged, and a large number of the buildings there are in ruins. In Zapotlan many buildings have been wrecked, and, as in the other towns mentioned, thousands of people are homeless. Interruption of the telegraph lines as a result of the shocks renders it impossible to obtain accurate information as to the number of deaths, but it is certain that some hundreds have perished.
