| | |of only 10 kilometers, determined by an
| | |extinct volcano, Mount Cabalian, which is
| | |situated in this part of the island. From
| | |May 17 to 25 some 60 earthquakes of
| | |various intensities were felt. No enhanced
| | |activity was observed in the volcano, but
| | |many fissures and great landslides were
| | |produced on its slopes.
| | |
196 |1907 V 25 23 52 |VIII |Northern Luzon. Very violent earthquake
| | |whose center was in the northern part of
| | |the Central Cordillera (Mountain
| | |Province). It did considerable damage in
| | |the Provinces of Ilocos Norte and Cagayan.
| | |The central part of the epicentral region,
| | |where the effects must have been more
| | |severe, is inhabited exclusively by wild
| | |tribes. No aftershocks have been recorded.
| | |
197 |1907 XI 24 21 59 | IX |Camarines Province. Destructive earthquake
| | |which ruined nearly all the masonry
| | |buildings of the towns within an area of
| | |some 30 kilometers in length and 20 in
| | |width. Within this small region, composed
| | |of recent alluvial soil and traversed by
| | |the Quinali River, a great number of
| | |fissures opened and various subsidences
| | |took place.
| | |
198 |1908 I 21 4 5 | VI |Western Leyte. Very strong earthquake
| | |proceeding from a submarine center not
| | |far from Ormoc Bay. It was followed by
| | |two very intense aftershocks at 4h 30m and
| | |7h 57m and many of less severity until
| | |the 23d.
| | |
