lieved they were numerous. Bremen left Santiago yesterday for Valparaiso to aid in extinguishing the fires there. The custom house in Valparaiso is re- ported to be burning Several travellers who have just arrived here from Val pariso say that reports of the situation in that city were exaggerated.
 An employe of the telegraph service sent word from Salto, near Valparaiso, confirming the news of serious fires in the Almendral quarter. This employe also sent news that the Spanish Italian bank was destroyed by the earthquake.
 A traveller who came here by an eX- press train says that when the train was near Las Vegas, about half way between Valparaiso and Santiago the cars were shaken violently and the en- zine nearly left the track. A stop was made and the terrified passengers alighted. Later they proceeded to Lail- lai, which they found in almost total ruin.
 All lines of railway to the north and the line to Talca are greatly damaged. In the city of Santiago a majority of the victims of the disaster were resi- dents of the poorer sections of the city, where many small houses were thrown to the ground.

Milk costs two Chilean dollars liter and it is almost impossible to obtain meat even at high prices The railroads are all de- stroyed.
 The rain which began to fall imme- diately after the first shock, stopped an hour afterward. The nights are very cold and windy and people sleep ing in the open are suffering greatly.

ChinEtechen Ia Unlike Any Other
 Place In China.
 For at least 000 years the town Chingtechen. in China. has been Gevot- ed to the making of pottery. Every thing in Chingtechen belongs to the porcelain and earthenware industry The houses are for the most part built of fragments either of cd kilns or of the fire clay covers in which the po-ce lain is stacked during fir.n-:. The riv- CT bank is for miles covered with a deep stratum of broken chinawa-e and chips of fire clay. and the greater part of the town and several square miles of the surrounding country are built over or composed of a similar deposit
 Ch;ngtechen is unlike anyth!n; else in China. The forms. the color the materials used in the buildings. the at mosphere, are rem .niscent of the poorer parts of a civilized industrial center. There are l04 large pottery kilns in the town. The greater part are in use cnIy for a short season In the summer. During this busy season the population of Chingteciien rises to about 400O09 souls, but of this total nearly half are laborers irawn from a vice area of countrv. who come for the season. live in r>ws of barracklike sheds and do rst bring their families with them. Visitors to Ch.ngtechen pass along street after street where every shop Is occupied by men. women and children. all engaged in the designing. mCl1ing. painting or distributing of pottery.
