Note XXIII-59 — Chapter XXIII · POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN NICARAGUA. 1867-1885.
Reading edition
Small-pox and dysentery broke out in several districts, destroying many lives. The town of San Cárlos was burned down; and the eruption of Ometepe volcano drove the inhabitants of that island from their homes. The govt afforded relief to the sufferers. Other places have been lately injured by earthquakes. Nic., Mensaje Pres. Cárdenas, Jan. 15, 1885; Costa R., Gaceta, Feb. 3, 4, 1885.
