Resumed-cemeteries Arc Destroyed

Serious One.

Valparaiso, Aug. 23.-Some business
houses re-opened today for the first
time since the earthquake. Telephone
and telegraph communication with
Santiago has been established, but the
lines are used almost exclusively by
government officials. The city is still
under martial law and everybody is
compelled to take some part in the
work of restoring normal conditions.
AS the first installment the govern
ment has appropriated $4,000,000 for
relief of the destitute. Custom houses
re-opened today and traffic by water
and rail has been resumed. Postal
service is also in operation. One of the
greatest difficulties encountered by the
authorities is interment of bodies re-
covered from the ruins, as all the cem-
eteries were destroyed. At the various
temporary morgues heaps of coffins
have accumulated awaiting designa-

recovering the bodies is being pushed
to the utmost in order to avoid an
epidemic.
Survivors of the earthquake say that
during the shocks it was impossible to
stand erect without support. A move
ment is on foot to organize a company
to facilitate the raising Of money nee
essary to reconstruct the city. It is
proposed to advance the sums needed
without interest for the first six
months. All the provinces north and
south (which have not suffered from
the earthquake are sending supplies
Of food and money to the stricken
cities and towns. The department of
public works at Santiago appropriated
100000 for the construction of sheds
to shelter the refugees from Valparaiso
and elsewhere, who continue to arrive
at the Chilean capital, in large num-
bers. Valparaiso is without street
lights, but order is maintained owing
to the severity Of the authorities, who
shoot all persons caught committing
robberies.
