CONSTANTINOPLE, May 27.--The village of Repahie in Armenia has been
destroyed by an earthquake. A number of mineral springs spouted from
the crevasses made in the earth by the shocks and the flow of water
was so great that the adjacent fields were flooded. The earthquake was
preceded by rumblings which caused the inhabitants to flee from the
village and they thus escaped death from the falling houses. No lives
were lost however.

Since a recent earthquake at Santa Ana, in Orange County, Cal., the
well of Mr. Huntington in Los Bolsas district, which for years
has never flowed to any considerable extent, has given forth large
quantities of mud, stones and other materials, the eruptions being
volcanic in character. The supply of water is now far in excess of
the means provided at the surface for its care, and it has been found
necessary to ditch from the well to the river to carry it away. The
pipes are at all times in danger of bursting--the sudden blasts of air
and foreign substances rendering it more or less dangerous to go near
the opening.
