SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Aug. 10
1t is not known how many lives were
lost in this city by the earthquake, but
il is believed that many persons were
killed by the falling buildings and that
their bodies Will be discovered later.
Several persons became so panic
stricken during the tremblings of the
earth that they threw themselves from
the balconies of their homes and were
killed. The fires which followed the
earthquake in this city were promptly
extinguishcd, but while they lasted they
added greatly to the terror OF the
people
AS all telegraph and telephone lines
were more or less damaged, the exact
situation throughout the country is not
vet known, but advices have been re-
ceivcd to the effect that the towns OF
Virlage and Casa Blanca were entirely
destroyed, and that San Felipe, Ban.
cagua, Milpilla and Lai Llai were se-
verely damaged. At Conception the
shocks were severe and a number of
persons were killed or injured. The
towns of Rengo, San Fernando, Quill
lotta and San Antonio and many vii
lages are in ruins. All railway service
in the central zono is either interrupted
entirely or greatly delayed and COM
merce is practically at a standstill.

pal buildings, the normal school, the
courts. the Peruvian legation, the resi-
dence of President Riesco, the Central
market, the prefecture OF police and the
National telegraph Office, all were serl-
usly damaged. The lines of the electric
tramway system and electric light
wires were Short. circuited, interrupting
street car traffic and plunging the city
into darkness. The scenes at the hos
pitals and prisons during the excitement
were distressing in the extreme. The
prisoners tried TO escape from the jails
in the hope that they might reach
place of safety and prison guards were
Obliged to fire into the air in order to

There have been several return shocks
