                              Taiwan Quake Kills 1

   Taiwan has been struck by a strong earthquake that killed one man and
   triggered a gas explosion.
   The U.S. Geological survey put the magnitude of Sunday`s tremor at 6.2.
   It hit at 1:43 pm , about 22 kilometers southeast of the city of Buli
   in central Taiwan, at a depth of 20 kilometers.
   Taiwan`s National Fire Agency said a man was killed by a rock slide as
   he was climbing on Mount Ali in central Taiwan.
   The quake was felt all over the island, but most strongly in central
   and southern Taiwan, sending people running into the streets. The
   tremor was also felt in Hong Kong.
   Another earthquake earlier in the day shook the southern Philippines.
   The 5.7 quake damaged dozens of buildings and injured several people.
