Show LISBON SHAKEN BY QUAKE. People in State of Terror, But No Great Damage Done. Lisbon. There was a violent shock of earthquake here Friday evening. The ground rose and fell in wave-like motions, buildings swayed and a number num-ber of them were partly demolished. The populace fled in paic to the streets. For a time fears were entertained of a repetition of the great earthquake earth-quake of 1755, which demolished the city. No material damage was done and no one was hurt, but fires broke out and great alarm prevailed. King Manuel appeared and took a prominent part in encouraging the firemen and reassuring the terrified people. |
