special correspondence to the New York
Herald:
VALPARAISO, April 3d.-On the 25th
ult. Chill Was visited by the most severe
shock OF earthquake experienced since 1851.
That day being q church holiday, the people
we're busily engaged in their devotions,
when at ii A. NJ, without the usual rumb.
ling, the earthquake burst upon them. For
more than minute the walls and roofs OF the
churches and houses swsyed fsarfully, crack
ing and opening IN many places. Windows
were broken and bells moved and rang vio-
emily by the vibration. The shrieks of the
terrified multitude added new horror to the
scene. In moment the streets and public
squares we're full of::speople on their knees
beseeching for mercy, and not until some
| time after the departure of the movement,
WAS any degree of tranquility restored. a
similar scene occurred in Santiago, Valpa
raiso and larger towns aud villages of the
south The alarm caused was even greater,
from the frsil nature of the buildings offer.
ng little or no resistance TO the force of the
shock. On the same day the phenomenon
was repeated three times the last at 5. P N.
with greater violence than others at this
period. The terror of the people knew no
bounds, fearful of sleeping in their houses
and tents, and shelters were erected in
squares wherein some instances whole
groups passed the night. There has been
no repetition Of the shock since
daylight. The loss of human lift
is not as great, more casualties occur
red from confusion and haste In leaving thar
by falling buildings. In Santiago severs
very fine buildings were ruined, and Ma
poeho river was momeniarily stop
ped. In Val alparsiso many edi
fces were more or less damaged
In the hsrbor the vessels pitched and tossed
ns though in q violent storm, and severA
small crafts were driven ashore by force o
the shock.
