Valparaiso, Chile, Aug. 21.-At 1852
o'clock last Thursday evening Val

great severity. and during that night
eighty-two shocks were felt.
Most of the buildings of the city
either were ruined or damaged.
The loss will be enormous, probably
reaching $250.o0O.0OO
Two thousand persons killed is con-
sidered to be fair estimate OF the
casualties.
Many Towns Destroyed.

southwark, having a population Of
2.50O); Salto Limache (fifteen miles

FIRST REPORTS EXAGGERATED
DEATHS IN ENTIRE COUNTRY
MAY REACH THOUSANDS
LOSS $3oo,ooo.

The earthquakes in Chile have
ceased, the resultant fires have been
extinguished and the people of Val
paraiso and Santiago are taking organ
lied steps to relieve suffering, care
for the wounded and bury the dead.
Dispatches received from Chile yes
terday tend to show that the first esti-
mates of casualties and material dam
age had been greatly exaggerated and
that the people of Valparaiso are be-
coming calmer. The fear Of further
shocks has been removed by a state
ment issued by the observatory, and
yesterday it became possible for the
first time to organize relief work and
q systematic search of the ruins for
the dead.
Dead May Reach Thousands.
The number of dead in Valparaiso
will doubtless run into the hundreds
and for the entire country probably
into the thousands. The property dam
age is estimated at from two to three
hundred million dollars.
Relief is being organized with sys-
TEN, and the government has taken
complete control. The foreign lega-
tions are active In their relief meas
ures, as are private persons, and the
greatest energy is being devoted to
getting in supplies for the destitute.
The government has authorized the
provincial governors to spend all mon
ey necessary for the relief of the needy
in their districts.
Commercial Crisis Feared.
The troops are maintaining perfect
order. Hospital and medical supplies
are being sent to Valparaiso from San
tiago A commercial crisis is feared
and very little business Is being done.
The English firms located at Valpa-
raiso do not appear to have sustained
heavy loss, and it does not appear that
any foreigners have been killed.
Everything 10 In Ruins.
Buenos Ayres, Aug. pa dispatch
has been received here from Valpa-
raiso, sent by the manager of the
AAoN dS d6CHCy ouACIu6O, WIN CIdN-
eled from Santiago to Valparaiso on
horseback. He says that in Valparaiso
everything Is In ruins and that the
losses cannot be calculated.
1000 corpses Disposed OF.
Santiago, Chile, Aug. 22.-Refugees
arriving here from Valparaiso declare
that 1000 corpses already have been
cast into the ocean. The authorities
are taking severe measures to main
tain order twenty-five pillagers have
been shot.
Robinson Crusoe's Island Gone.
New York, Aug. pa report reach
ed this city that the South American
earthquake destroyed the island Of
Juan Fernandez, off the Chilean coast
1t belonged to Chile and on it were a
penal settlement and fort.
This is the island made famous by
Daniel Defoe as the scene of the thrill
ing adventures of Robinson Crusoe.

can in the plazas and streets of the
city and adjacent hills, without shell
ter and with famine confronting them.
Food is already scarce and high. wa
ter for drinking purposes is lacking,
and disease is feared. The govern
ment is doing all it can to bring in re,
lief. The crippling of the railroads
leading into Valparaiso constitutes a
serious factor in the situation, as for
an indefinite period relief supplies can
be obtained only through other means
of transportation, the seaboard afford

The nights are very cold and windy,
and the people sleeping in the open
are suffering greatly.
Dispatches from Valparaiso to the
Associated Press received last evening
state that q moderate estimate OF the
fatalities Is 1000 and that the proper
ty loss may be as high as $250,0O0. 900,

LOSSES TO TARrARs AND
RUSSIANS.

Havana, Aug. 22-The increasing
uneasiness over insurrectionary mani
festations in the western part of Cuba
were quieted to slight degree last
evening by decree of President Pal
ma appointing Gen. Rafael Montalyo
secretary OF public works. to be in d.
rect charge Of all military operations
against the insurgents. President
Palma also decreed the increase of the
rural guards to 1000, the number con-
templated in the bill introduced at the
last session Of congress. Many men
who served as officers in the Cuban
revolutions against Spain yesterday
visited or telegraphed to President
Palma, rendering their services for the
suppression of the insurrection.
Reinforcements Sent Out.
A special train last night took 100
rural guards from Santa Clara and so
artillerymen from Havana to Pinar del
Rio. Not even the railroad officials
have been informed of the precise
point of Decentralization Of these
forces.
More Arrests Made.
Several more arrests were made yes
f, terday In Havana OF persons suspected
Of aiding the insurrection. Some small
quantities of arms and ammunition
have been seized.
The house and senate yesterday, aft
er conference with Secretary of
State O'Farrell adopted resolution
declaring that the members would en-
deavor to secure jointly and personally
the establishment Of order.
What Will Uncle Sam Do7
! There Is considerable discussion as
to whether, in the event of Cuba being
unable to suppress the insurrection,
she should ask the United States for
assistance or whether the United
States may not intervene under the
terms OF the Platt amendment without
such request being preferred. In the
meantime the government assumes
that 1t is entirely able to cope with
the situation. although the condition of
unrest may continue for several
weeks.

Russia, and who has many times been

and hit by d. Boettiger. The third
opened with two bagger by Sullivan, a
sacrifice by Campbell, Sullivan going to
third and scoring on Nehring's fly to
third. The decision at the plate was
very close. Nothing more was in the
cards for the Lumbermen until the sixth.
when hits by o. Boettiger, Brown and
