A gentleman who visited the city of Caracas,
some months since, (says the Washington City
Gazette, of the 2lst inst informs that its pop
ulation is reduced to about 1000 inhabitants.
Prior to the earthquake in March, 1912, it was
estimated to contain near $4,000; such an as
tonishing decrease may be attributed to some Of
the most dreadful calalnties that can, aflict the
human family, namely, earthquakes, war and
famine. The population in many other parts Of
Venezuela is supposed to have suffered nearly IN
the same proportion, and from the same causes.
