WERE NOT EXAGGERATED.
Reports Show That in Valparaiso
Many Were Killed Like Rats
in Traps.

Buenos Ayres, Aug 19.-With tel
agraphic communication already part
1y restored with Chill, the appalling
nature Of the disaster caused by the
earthquake and fire that followed in
Valparaiso and vicinity is gradually
becoming known, and it is now GER
tain that the earlier reports were
not exaggerated Nearly all of the
northern portion of the city has been
wiped out by the earthquake and fire
that followed, and. although the fires
are reported practically checked, it
seems that this is so merely because
there is nothing left to burn in the
area over which the flames held sway
Since the initial disturbances that
caused the disaster there have been
frequent shocks, but although all of
these have been of a mild na,ure,
they have sufficed to add to the ter
ror of the inhabitants. and also to
finish the work of demoishing all
standing houses whose walls were
cracked by the first quake.
1t was this latter fact that caused
the greatest loss of life. Nearly all of
the inhabitants of the city succeeded
in making the open spaces about the
town, and the parks and squares
along the water front after the first
earthquake. Had they remained here
until they could get to the hills out
side of the city all would have been
well. but they did not do so. Instead,
as soon as the first serious disturb
ances were over, the people started
back to their houses in the hope of
saving the moro valuable of their
belongings. Althou,;h counscllcd by
The more cool headed to stay out of
the city until it could be certain that
the danger was past, tho rush could
not be stayed. and hundreds went
back to their partly demolished hOus,
es. where they were caught like rats
In traps when the buildings were
tumbled down on thom, by the fol
lowing shocks.
1t is absolutely impossible to Sc
cure anything like an even moder-
ately correct estimate Of the casual
ties at Valparaiso, as no person in
authority will make any statement at
this time. The rumors run all the way
from five hundred to ten tb.Esan{
and here the belief is general than
the lesser figure is more nearly the
correct one. The city is now under
martial law. and all classes are being
pressed into service to clear away
the ruins and tear down all of the
houses which are damaged beyond
hope of saving.
All OF the smaller towns near Val
paraiso have been badly damaged.
but up to the present. no detail of the
loss of life is available.

In closing, he says:
of course. you may ignore the

Winans, at Iquique, in the northern
part of the earthquake country.

and preserve order
At Santiago the less violent shock
caused considerable damage to prop

Consul Winans reported the fact
that reports had been received there

ference, cabled to the state depart.
ment asking for information as to
the earthquake in Chile, saying that
the members of the Chilean delegation
were very anxious Reports at Rio

Mr.. Adee cabled him such facts as he
could get from official and press des-
patches.
Copies of all the dispatches were
sent to oyster Bay.

CUBA IN THROES
OF REVOLUTION
Government Throws Off its
"CIoak of Evasion and
Orders Arrests Made.
MANY ARE BEING HELD
IN WESTERN PART OF ISLAND
ATTACKS ARE BEING MADE ON
THE GOVERNMENT POSTS
ASSASSINATION CHARGES.

Havana, Aug. 19.-RevOlutiOn is
rampant in Cuba tonight and the sit
uatiOn is now so serious that the gov
ernment has thrown off its ''clOak of
evasion and has ordered wholesale
arrests. Since $50 o'clock Sunday
afternoon secret police in Havana
have been gathering in" prominent
members of the element that is op-
posed to the Palma administration,
and the arrests are such as to as
tOund all Cuba. Among those who are
now held by the secret police are
General Garcia Velez. who was the
first Cuban minister to Mexico, a son
of the late CalibitO. Garcia, JUS to
Garcia, recently Cuban consul to
Hamburg, Germany; the former sena-
tor general MOnteagudO: former con-
gresSman General LOyuaz Delcastil-
10: Colonel Manuel Piedra, and fif-
teen Of the leaders in the General
Garcia campaign for the presidency.
All are held upon charges of attempt
ing to assassinate, and plotting to as
sassinate President Palma.
Attack Government Posts.
The revolution in the western part
of the island has, it is announced, as
sumed the phase of actual attacks
upon the government posts. Details,
however, are refused because of the
fact that the government controls the
telegraph lines and apparently be4
licves it necessary to withhold infOr-
nation from the people at large. The
president is adopting peculiar tactics
in dealing with the Cuban people as
a whole. He declines to permit any
statement Whatsoever TO be issued
and has notified all officials that in
formation that they may make pub
lie bearing uDOn the present internal
troubles will be considered in the ma
ture Of Unreasonable cOmmunica-
tions." This fact has led to the cir
culatiOn of many rumOrs that are i'm
possible of confirmation throughout
Cuba and have also interfered great
ly with the efforts of the govern
ment agents to restore "pacific be-
lief in the capital city.
