THIRTY KILLED IN SANTIAGO.
Many Persons, Panic Stricken, Jump to
 Death From Balconies.


 Santiago. Chile. Aug 22.-At least thirty lives are known to have been lost in this city by the earthquake. and 1t Is believed that others were killed by falling buildings.
 Several persons become so fright ened during the tremblings of the earth that they threw themselves from the balconies of their homes and were killed. Others died from ex- citement and heart disease.
 A majority of the sufferers from the disaster were residents of the poorer sections of the city, where many small houses were thrown to the ground. The scenes in the prisons and hos pitals were distressing in the extreme jails in the hope that they might reach q place of safety. and prison guards were obliged to fire into the mir to intimidate and quiet their panic stricken charges.
 Many public buildings and churches were diSmantled. The buildings of congress. the municipal buildings, the normal school. the courts. the resi- dence of President Riesco, the Peru vian legation, the central market the prefecture of police and the National telegraph office were all seriously dam- aged.
 While the fires which followed the earthquake lasted they greatly aug mented the terror of the people. but they were promptly put out, and fire men left this city to aid in subduing the confiagration in Santiago.

Putting Out . Fire.

When trying to put out a fire re- member that one gallon of water at the bottom of the blaze will do more to put 1t out than ten gallons at the top. Play low'' Is the motto to follow while fighting fire. X few gallons at the bottom of the flames will rise in clouds of steam when the fire is rising and quench it. A big blaze on the lee ward side looks fearful, but play low with the water on the bottom of the fire on the windward side and you have the speediest way to quench the flames and will not require a river.

k.S Hearst Emphatieslly Declares Hs
 Is Not For Murphy.
 New York. Aug. 22.-without saying Il am for Hearst for governor" Charles r. Murphy. leader of Tammany Hall, practically declared for Hearst. MT. Murphy was asked if he had a candi- date and said:
 No. have no candidate"
 Will Tammany Hall support Hearst If he is nominated?
 Certainly" was the reply.
 ''Is there any sentiment in the organ ization for Jerome for governorT'
 None that I have discovered" was the answer
 ''Is there any Hearst sentiment"
 Plenty of it." said the boss of Tam many, and he smiled as he said 1t.
 Isn't the leader of Tammany largely guided by the sentiment in the organl- zation?"
 Always" said Murphy.
 When this interview was brought to Mir. Hearst's attention he gave out the following statement:
 "I have no interest whatever in the factional disputes of Tammany Hall. Those declarations for or against me are nothing more than attempts to in- tiuence votes in primary contests.
 ''Over three months ago I gave an interview to the Brooklyn Eagle detin- ing my position, which I have not al tered.
 ''I repeat now that I am absolutely and unalterably opposed to the Mur- phys and the McCarrens and also to the Sullivans and the McClellans and the kind of politics that they all repre- sent.
 T am opposed to boss rule in poli- tics.
 "I am opposed to corporation control of parties through machines. and the fact that a boss or a machine declares for me does not alter my attitude in any particular. I am also opposed to the Ryans and Belmonts and their Je- romes in politics, to the corrupt use of wealth to debauch the ballot and to the purchase of puppets in office.
 Mir Roosevelt says the people need square deal I would add that to have a square deal they must have new deal. for nearly all the cards in the old political packs are marked by the corporations and dirty and dog cared from the corrupt uses to which they have been put"

MEXICO TO GET NEXT QUAKE

So Says Dr. Hayes, United States Gov
 ernment's Expert.
 Washington, Aug. 22.-Meningitis Is affecting the backbone of the Ameri- can continent, according to Dr. c. Wil- lard Hayes of the geological survey. In his opinion Mexico will be the next country to be visited by a seismic dis turbance. Dr. Hayes says:
 Those mountains, mistakenly called the backbone of the American conti- nent, are among the newest in the world. The California and Chilean quakes were not volcanic.
 "The earth crust is thinner along those newer mountain systems. In the processes of cooling and adjustment of the crust to the conditions within there comes times when great strains accu- mulate on the outer crust. Something has to give, and when the crust at last by a sudden moSement adjusts itself to the new conditions there is a slip ping along the line of a fault in 1t. This fault line Is likely to follow the course of one of the newer mountain ranges. This Is what happened at San Francisco and in Chile"
