Cruz in Mexico, bring a most shocking account of the
mountain Mano Blancs, in that neighbourhood, open-
ing and throwing out flames, combustible stuff, and
black ones, some of great sizes. As there never was
a volcano there before, it intimidated the inhabitants
to such a degree, that a great number died of fright.
Many people were destroyed, with 118 Indian huts.
The wild beasts, as lions, tygers, deers, &c. left the
forest, and came into the town for refuge, sixty three
of which were shot in the streets.
