have either burned or are in immedi-

pie are panic stricken and all attem pts
an effort is being made to calm the
Martial law has been proclaimed and
an effort is being made to aim the
people, but with little hope, as the
earthquakes still continue up to this
afternoon, five shocks being felt to-
day, although not so frequent nor vio-
lent, but enough to keep the people
in n state of terror.
The Mexican cable was in operation
all day to Valparaiso, but TO interior
points all overland wires are down
and it will be several days before
they are restored. The entire busi-
ness portion of Valparaiso has been
destroyed.
The authorities will not permit any
lights in the buildings. and at dark
the cable office was closed for the
night. The dead and injured are es-
timated at one thousand, while wild
rumors place the figures at four
thousand. However. owing to the
lack OF systematic report, all fig-
ures are speculation.
The shocks have continued since
Thursday night and five slight shocks
were felt today. The shipping in the
harbor escaped damage and every
vessel Is a haven for refugees. All
buildings have been deserted. Practi-
cally nothing has been done In the
way of clearing wrecks or searching
for dead bodies and iaborers refuse
to enter the ruins because OF the con-
tinued shocks. Soldiers will force the
rescue work tomorrow.
The cable office closed at dusk on
account of the lack OF lights, and
because Of martial law, compelling op-
orators to keep of the streets for
fear of being shot by the guards
