THIRTY DEAD AT SANTIAGO.
Chilean Capital Suffers Heavily From
 Earthquake.

Earthquake.
 SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Aug. 20.-It is known that at least thirty lives were lost in this city by the earthquake. but 1t is believed that others were kill ed 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 extinguished, but while they lasted they greatly augmented the terror of the people.
 As all telegraph and telephone lines were more or less damaged the exact situation throughout the country is not yet known, but advices have been re- ceived to the effect that the towns of virlage and Casablanca were entirely destroyed and that San Felipe. Ran cagua, Milipilla and Llaillai were se- verely damaged. At Conception the shock was severe. and a number of persons were killed or injured. The towns of Rengo, San Fernando Quill lotta and San Antonio and many will lages are in ruins. All railway service In the central zone is either interrupted entirely or greatly delayed, and con- merce is practically at standsaill.
 In the city of Santiago much dam- age was done. Many public buildings, particularly churches, were disman- tied. The buildings of congress. the municipal buildings, the normal school, the courts. the Peruvian legation, the residence of President Riesco. the cen tral market the prefecture of police and the National Telegraph office. all were seriously damaged. The lines of the electric trnmway system and the electric light wires were short circuit cd. interrupting street car travel and plunging the city into darkness
 The scenes at the hospitals and pris- ons during the excitement were dis dressing in the extreme. The prison CTS tried to escape from the jails in the hope that they might reach a place fl safety. and prison guards were obliged 10 fire into the air in order to intinidate and quiet their panic strick- en charges.
 There have been several return shocks of slight intensity. These shocks have served to continue the state of public alarm and a state of panic still prevails. The astronomical observatory. however. has given out a statement to the effect that it does not appear to be possible that there will be a repetition of the severe shocks. Many persons slept in the tramway cars. in carriages and in the open air in the public squares and streets. The government has taken steps to restore order An inspection of all houses left standing has been ordered. and directions have been issued for the distribution of relief supplied to those in nee1 A troop Of cavalry has been sent to re-estab- lIsh communication with Valparaiso.
 The alarming news first received by the government from Valparaiso as to the situation in that city has not been confirmed. but 1t Is known that numerous buildings in the vicinity of the port were destroyed and that there have been severe fires in the Amen drsI quarter The mayor of yalpa- rxt<o s~nf word fhst he did not know
