WILL REBUILD CITY.
Engineer Says Too Man,
 Interests Are at Stake.

vaIparaiso Engineer Says Too Many
 Interests Are at Stake.
 New York. Aug. 31.--Juan Tankin, a Chilean civil engineer. who is now in New York said last night:
 ''In Valparaiso local and foreign in- terests are so great that 1t is abso- mtely certain that the city will be re- built. The financ.ai burden of rehs- bilitntion will not be thrown on Ch,ie alone. but also yn the numerous fsr- efgn Interests which include most of the aations of the world. ,
 "Of the foreign interests, I believe the English will be the heaviest losers and especially the many English fire insurance companies that suffered such great losses in the destruction of San Francisco. However. it must be kept in mind that Chile enjoys very high financial credit. especially in the London market. where her bonds are quoted at 99 1-2 per cent.
 'srhe external debt or Chile is about $105. 5.000,0 900, which has always been scrupulously served and 1t takes only 12 per cent of the Chilean government revenue to serve this debt. The Chit can state railway alone represents nearly as much as rhe external debt while the saltpetre lands represent nearly half as much.

Valparaiso, Aug. 21.--Tne loss Of life by the earthquake Thursday. August 16, probably will not be short of 5000. while the property destroyed Is esti- mated at $10o,0o0,o00 and possibly Is far in excess of that sum.
 With the first terrible shock, build ings collapsed. their. walls falling with a tremendous noise. The shock was followed almost immediately by a fierce storm, the wind prostrating walls that had been weakened by the earth- quake and these broke trolley wires which flashed necessarily. The sec. ond shock was even heavier than. the first.
 Five minutes aftcrxard fires started in every direction, and immediately the whole town was illuminated by gigantic flames. The firemeu made a desperate fight. though there was but little wa ter, as most of the mains had been broken by the early tremor The Vic toria Theatre and the Navy Club were destroyed by the earthquake and the National Theatre sucumbed to the earthquake and fire.
 The Club de Setiembre. the Church of La Merced. the building of the French Fathers. the Navy Department building, the city hall and many other buildings were destroyed by the earth quake. Probably SO per cent. of the commercial houses were ruined. Ir Brazil Avenue alone nearly thirty blocks of buildings from three to five stories high were destroyed

SANTIAGO REsnMBLEs CAMP.

Only Now Is Seriousness of the Sftu-
 alton Apparent.
 Santiago, Chile, Aug. 20--t6. D. m.)-- Only now can the seriousness of the catastrophe begin to be appreciated.
 The greater part of the modern houses here are unsafe for habitation and the authorities have organized a special corps to pull down the totter- ing buildings. In most of the streets 1t is not safe to walk on the pavement owing to falling debris
 Santiago resembles a camp. The public squares and the principal avenues are crowded with people sleeping in the open.. All kinds of carriages and carts have been requesitioned to sleeu in, or even under them.
 The night of August 16 was rendered dreadful by flashing lightning and pour ing. rain, the electric cables and wires snappinE as a result of the constant, strong earth shocks. were heard all that night. causing the greatest con- sternation. which was heightened by the pealing of the fire bells announcing the breaking out of fires in various ouar- ters of the city.
 Each earth shock was followed by walls and prayers from the people whowere kneelng in the rain and mud The first great shock lasted four min utes and fifty seconds Such a long shock had never occurred before in the memory of any inhabitant of San tiaRo
 It caused the bells of the churches to ring. pictures swung out from the walls and there was a great heaving motion of the ground. Experts say the only thing which saved Santiago from complete ruin was that the motion was circular. The principal shock was from Valparaiso to Santiago and Mere ipilla, with its center at Limache. The last two mentioned towns were destroy ed, as also were Quillota and Ilaillat Earthquakes Approach Announced.
 The statement that the approach of the earthquake was announced at the naval observatory at Valparaiso two days previous to It's occurrence is con firmed. The news was published in the Chilean press on Wednesday, August IS the day before the earthquake oc- cured.
 Santiago is still practically isolated telegraphieally. from all other ports of Chile. but an improvised line to Los An des. connecting with the European ca bles is working. No really definite news has yet ben received here from Valparaiso except the Governors ofi- cIal report to the President. outlining the situation and uddinK that he ear-

 They patroiied the water front and guarded the wrecked banks and other buildings containing valuables. with orders to shoot the thieves and ma- rauders on sight.
 The soldiers shot number of lad rones who were caught rifiing the dead and robbing buildings and their bodies were suspended from telephone poles at the street corners. bearing large placards reading .por ladrone" "a warning to looters.
