The said general +catalogue has been undertaken with a view toward reducing to +uniformity and completing those published years ago by Robert Mallet +(1859) and Perrey (1844-1871). The form adopted for Professor Milne's +new catalogue is very concise, comprising only the date, intensity, +and region together with principal localities affected. It will +contain only the earthquakes of intensities VII to X according to the +scale of De Rossi-Forel, and these will be divided into three classes: +Class I will be formed by the earthquakes of sufficient force to +produce cracks in buildings and to throw down chimneys; they +correspond to force VII of De Rossi-Forel. Class II consists of the +earthquakes which not only threw down chimneys but also walls and some +weak structures; force VIII of De Rossi-Forel. Class III comprises the +earthquakes which caused general destruction; force IX and X of De +Rossi-Forel. As this classification is as purely conventional as every +other and adopted only in the catalogue mentioned, we do not employ it +in the present catalogue of Philippine earthquakes, but retain the +almost universally adopted scale of De Rossi-Forel. We shall also +present more details as to the towns and buildings damaged, the number +of victims and other disastrous effects than enter into the catalogue +of Professor Milne.</p> + +<p>Hence, the differences between the list prepared for Professor Milne +as well as the partial catalogue published in our Monthly Bulletin for +February of the present year consist in the following: (1) This +catalogue contains also several earthquakes whose intensities were +between VI and VII, while in the former only such figure as according +to their effects were decidedly of force VII. (2) The new catalogue is +more complete as to details concerning the towns, etc., which have +been destroyed.</p> + +<p>It is to be regretted that we are unable to present here a complete +historical catalogue of all the destruction wrought in the Archipelago +by earthquakes since the time when Legaspi and Urdaneta first set foot +on these shores. But the old chroniclers, who dwell upon the political +happenings with an attention to detail which is occasionally overdone, +were invariably laconic when there was question of earthquakes and +similar natural phenomena; as a rule they were satisfied with +mentioning the occurrence in a general and therefore vague way, +without any attempt at precision as to dates and places. Still the +writers in the Philippines did nothing worse than imitate their +colleagues throughout the rest of the world. This fact is responsible +for the great contrast exhibited by our catalogue as regards the +number and details of earthquakes which occurred prior to 1800, +records of which have been preserved, and the same data for the period +from 1800 to the present time. This same difference is observable in +all catalogues of a similar nature, even in those which cover +phenomena which occurred in Europe. As to the Philippine writers, an +additional excuse is found in the peculiar conditions of life in these +Islands. As far as we know, only two earthquakes which took place +during the period which alone can come under consideration—that is, +since the discovery of the Archipelago—have claimed a considerable +number of victims, and these in the capital, because outside of +Manila—if we except two or three of the principal cities—the +buildings which could become dangerous during an earthquake have +always been few.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span>Moreover, in a country in which fires consume every year thousands of +dwellings and where the terrible typhoons frequently destroy whole +towns with heavy loss of lives, the damage done by earthquakes has +rarely been so great as to impress those occurrences indelibly upon +the memory. This is beyond doubt one of the reasons why prior to the +beginning of the nineteenth century hardly any data can be found +concerning the numerous earthquakes which during the preceding two +centuries must have occurred in the Visayas and above all on the large +Island of Mindanao.</p> + +<p>The first earthquake of which the chronicles contain a mention is that +of 1599. There is no reasonable doubt that during the twenty-eight +years which had then elapsed since the founding of Manila by Legaspi, +several strong and possibly even destructive earthquakes occurred in +this part of Luzon Island, but, as the author of the "Verdadera +relación de la grande destrucción * * * del año 1645" tells us, "when +first founded, Manila consisted of wooden houses roofed with a certain +kind of palm leaves, the same which the natives use in their +buildings." Hence the damage done by these earthquakes must have been +insignificant. Much more terrible were the losses caused by +conflagrations which within a few years twice wiped out the entire +city.</p> + +<p>The first Bishop of Manila, Domingo de Salazar, seeing the city +exposed to such general destructions by fire like the one of February +14, 1583, gave the first impulse to the construction of stone +buildings and worked indefatigably in this direction. In person he +explored the surroundings of Manila in quest of stone quarries and by +the middle of the year 1591 he had nearly finished his palace and the +cathedral, when financial difficulties caused a temporary suspension +of the work. At the same time a great number of public and private +buildings were under construction. The enthusiasm for structures of +stone or brick with tile roofs did not diminish during the next fifty +years. The chroniclers tell us that "the Spaniards began to build +their houses of stone and tiles without the so necessary precautions +against earthquakes. * * * Beautiful structures and dwelling houses +were reared, so high and spacious that they resembled palaces; +magnificent churches with lofty and graceful towers, within the walls +of Manila as well as outside of them: all of which made the city very +beautiful and gay and contributed equally to health and pleasure." The +disaster of 1645, commonly called the earthquake of St. Andrew, as it +occurred on the feast of this apostle, November 30, razed nearly every +one of these buildings to the ground, and since then the style and +appearance of buildings has changed greatly throughout the +Archipelago, with a correspondingly great saving of lives in the +subsequent earthquakes.</p> + +<p>Masonry arches were henceforth banished from the churches; the heavy +walls of the latter were further strengthened by massive buttresses; +and the towers were given truly enormous substructures. But even with +these precautions there is at present hardly one out of the hundreds +of churches built during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries +which did not some time or other require important repairs of its +masonry work or even partial reconstruction owing to earthquake +damages. The only structure of this class which thus far has withstood +all convulsions, is the church of St. Agustin, Manila. Nevertheless, +as we have stated before, the chroniclers hardly mention all this +destruction, except in a very general and cursory manner. I do not +hesitate to say: they were accustomed to see similar havoc created +nearly every year in one part of the Archipelago or the other by some +severe typhoon, accompanied by far greater loss of lives and property, +and consequently much more felt by the people than the destruction of +a church, <i>convento</i>, municipal building ("tribunal"), one or two +bridges, or other masonry structure.</p> + +<p>In the present catalogue our aim has been to present all that is known +of the various violent and destructive earthquakes on record. The +first column of each page contains the ordinal number of the +disturbance for purposes of reference. In the second, the date is +given as accurately as it could be ascertained, Roman numerals being +used to designate the months. Unfortunately, of some earthquakes only +the year is known; of others, the year and month. Of one (No. 32) the +approximate hour has been recorded, but not the day of the month; +while of another (No. 38) the hour has been preserved for posterity, +but whether the phenomenon occurred during February or March, the +records leave undecided. In the third column will be found, in the +first place, the intensity of the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span>disturbance, Roman numerals +representing the degrees of the scale of De Rossi-Forel (I-X); then +the region affected most, and finally the damages caused, if known, +and other information, if available.</p> + +<p>In describing the epicentral regions, the present distribution of the +Archipelago into provinces has been used throughout the catalogue. +This division is shown on the first of the two maps of the Philippines +which accompany this catalogue (Plate I). As to the designation +"Benguet" occasionally occurring in the text where provinces are +enumerated, but not found on the map, we beg to offer the excuse that +the region thus named is exceedingly well known in the Philippines as +it contains Baguio, <i>the</i> health resort of the Islands. For the +readers outside of the Archipelago we remark that Benguet is at +present a subprovince of the Mountain Province, of which it forms the +southernmost part. The location of Baguio is shown on the map on Plate +II. A similar remark applies to Lepanto and Bontoc, likewise divisions +of the Mountain Province, whose capitals, Cervantes and Bontoc, are +indicated on the same map.</p> + +<p>As we would hardly be justified in assuming that every reader is in +possession of a detailed map of the Philippines, and a knowledge of +the general distribution and the main directions of the principal +mountain systems of an earthquake country is important, we add a +second map on which these data are shown by means of dashes, together +with the most important seismic regions, and the positions of the +principal towns, bays, etc., mentioned in the text. (Plate II.)</p> + +<p>Near the left margin of this second map will be found an index of the +seismic regions just mentioned, each of them being represented by its +ordinal number (large Roman figures). Near each of these ordinals is +placed the corresponding number of earthquakes since 1862 contained in +the catalogue (Arabic figures), which is followed, in brackets, by an +analysis of the said number, in which Roman figures designate the +degrees of the earthquake, scale of De Rossi-Forel, while small Arabic +figures, written like exponents, give the number of earthquakes of +each degree of intensity.</p> + +<p>In drawing the map on Plate II it was not intended to represent the +epicentric area of every individual earthquake center (which would +have crowded the map beyond reasonable limits), but rather to show the +principal seismic regions. Hence most of these curves contain more +than one focus. The approximate position of each of the latter has, +however, been indicated by a star, while the figure placed close to +the star gives the number of earthquakes which proceeded from the said +center.</p> + +<p>A word must be said in apology for the constant use in the following +list of the Spanish word "<i>convento</i>." This word which means +monastery, cloister, or convent, is universally used in the +Philippines to designate also the habitation of the clergy attached to +a parish church. Although these are, as a rule, spacious buildings and +were formerly inhabited well-nigh exclusively by friars, they can not +properly be called monasteries. Wherefore, in order to avoid lengthy +circumlocutions, the Spanish word "<i>convento</i>" has been retained.</p> + +<p>The reader who is not familiar with this country may find it strange +that in reporting earthquake damages so much emphasis appears to be +laid on the harm done to churches and <i>conventos</i>. This is easily +explained by the fact that these buildings were often the only +structures within the meizoseismal area, and built nearly everywhere +in the most substantial manner.</p> + +<p>In the present catalogue we have also included, by way of an appendix, +the earthquakes which are known to have occurred in the Marianas or +Ladrones group of islands. While their number is too small to warrant +separate publication, we believe that the data concerning them will be +welcome to the earthquake investigator.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6"></a></span><!-- Blank Page --><br /> +<hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[7]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>CATALOGUE OF VIOLENT AND DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKES IN THE PHILIPPINES.</h3> +<br /> + +<div class="centered"> +<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%" summary="Catalogue" style="border: 1px solid black;"> + <tr> + <td class="tdc1">No.</td> + <td class="tdc1" colspan="5">Date.</td> + <td class="tdc1">Intensity.</td> + <td class="tdc1">Epicenter and effects.</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td class="tb1"> </td> + <td class="tdc2"><i>Y.</i></td> + <td class="tdr2a"><i>M.</i></td> + <td class="tdr2a"><i>d.</i></td> + <td class="tdr2a"><i>h.</i></td> + <td class="tdr3a"><i>m.</i></td> + <td class="tb1"> </td> + <td class="tb1"> </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td width="4%" class="tdr1">1</td> + <td width="4%" class="tdl1">1599</td> + <td width="5%" class="tdr2">VI</td> + <td width="5%" class="tdr2">25</td> + <td width="5%" class="tdr2">3</td> + <td width="5%" class="tdr3">20</td> + <td width="8%" class="tdr4">IX</td> + <td width="62%" class="tdl2">Manila and neighboring provinces.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/18556-h/images/map1.jpg b/18556-h/images/map1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1831fac --- /dev/null +++ b/18556-h/images/map1.jpg diff --git a/18556-h/images/map1_th.png b/18556-h/images/map1_th.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e57b84b --- /dev/null +++ b/18556-h/images/map1_th.png diff --git a/18556-h/images/map2.jpg b/18556-h/images/map2.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4743887 --- /dev/null +++ b/18556-h/images/map2.jpg diff --git a/18556-h/images/map2_th.png b/18556-h/images/map2_th.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..42b493e --- /dev/null +++ b/18556-h/images/map2_th.png |
