Earthquakes Near Shamaka

Fresh earthquakes are reported from the vicinity of Shamaka, in Transcaucasia. The newspaper reports state that up to the present time 5,000 persons have lost their lives as a result of these recent seismic disturbances. During the search for the bodies of those who had perished, many have been disentombed alive, having fallen into the crevasses which opened in the earth, and been entombed when the crevasses closed again.
