THREE TOWNS SHAKEN
DESTRUCTION FEARED. EARTHQUAKE IN HONDURAS. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Tegucigalpa (Honduras), December 4. Three towns with a total population of 6500 are reported to have probably been destroyed by an earthquake in the Ocotepeque department, according to an official message to-day from Simuapa, the capital of Ocotepeque. The stricken towns are San Jorge, La Encaracion and San Fernando. On account of the wreckage of the communication system the Government is unable to determine the details, but it is considered probable that the shock was the same one which struck Honduras on Sunday last.
