confusion and panic prevail at Valparaiso
and until order is restored it will be i'm
possible to ascertain with accuracy the
loss to life and property. The dwellings
in the city have practically been aban-

they can in the plazas and streets of the
city and in the hills adjacent to it, with
out shelter from storm or sun and with
famine confronting them Food Is al
ready scarce and high, water for drinking
purposes is lacking and disease is feared.
The government is doing all it can to
bring relief. The Gripping of railroads
leading into Valparaiso constitutes a seri-
Gus factor in the situation as for an in
definite period relief supplies can only
be obtained through other means of trans
portation, the seaboard affording the best

At Santiago many of the best public
and private buildings were wrecked. The
loss of life there was augmented by the
panic which seized the people, many of
whom threw themselves from the bal

force of the earthquake was experienced
over large extent of country, many
towns sustaining serious damage.

DR.. IRON HAS GONE TO THE

New Orleans. August 19.-The following
notice was sent out by President C. II.
Irion of the state board of health, this
afternoon:
zone case of yellow fever at New Iberia,
125 miles from New Orleans. Am leaving
tonight to take personal charge"
DIR. Irion left tonight accompanied by
Medical Inspectors Brady and Mayer and
Chief F'umigator Destrampes.
The patient Is a mulatto boy, 12 years
old living In an isolated part of the town.
The case was reported as suspicious late
Friday night and Saturday morning Drs.
Charles Chassaig gnac and P. e. Archinard
went to New Iberia. They finally agreed
this morning that 1t was positive case.
There is so far nothing to show how the
infection originated
Or. Bradx will ne specially detailed to
trace the infection, AID nc. lsfrorts will
be spared to stamp 1t out.
While no quarantine has been declared
by DR.. Irion against New Iberia, he has
instructed the Southern Pacific railroad
not to sell any tickets out of the town,
so that trains simply stop there for water.
If after investigating the situation he
finds that there is no infection In the
town this restriction will be removed.

ANOTHER
WAR ON CABRERA
REVoLUTloNIsTs EXPECT TO BE
IN MUCH STRONGER POSITION
NEXT YEAR WHEN THEY WILL
HAVE MORE ARMS.

Mexico City, August 19.-Leaders of the
late revolution in Guatamala will meet in
New York some time next month, where
1t is said they will disclose their plans
for a new uprising which is expected to
occur within a year. General Barillas Is
now in San Francisco, General Castillo is
in Honduras, General Toledo is in Mica
ragua and Colonel Pinedo Is in New Or
leans
Well informed people in Central Ameri-
ca predict that another and much better
prepared revolution, with the object of
overthrowing Cabrera's administration in
Guatemala, is certain to be attempted
They deny that there is any real satisfac-
tion in Guatemala among the people be-
cause Of the restoration of peace, and
assert that Cabrera was only saved by the
Intervention of the United States and Mex
ieo which Intervention was largely due
to a wish to prevent war between Saliva
dor and Guatemala, while the Pan Ameri-
can congress was In session at Rio de
Jaeiro. The revolutionists believe their
chances will be better on the second at
tempt and that they will have plenty of
fire arms and ammunition.

It is a common belief in Chile that
when shocks are frequent there is little
danger of a damaging earthquake, and
past experience has shown this belief to
be we'll founded. 1t is calculated that a
bad earthquake Is due to visit some
part of Chile once in ten years.
Chilean earthquakes manifest them
selves by a quick horizontal and some
times rotary vibration, and when the
focus Is near the sea the water also is
agitated The ground undulates, but very
rarely bursts open, and even the most
violent shocks are over in a few seconds.
For some time afterward however. at
gradually lengthening intervals for twelve
hours theresi a succession of grandually
lessening shocks.
Some remarkable manifestations have
taken place during Chilean earthquakes.
BY the quake of February 1895, the Isle
of Stanta Maria was uplifted an average
of nine feet, but 1t subsided few weeks
afterward and even lost a part of its
previous elevation. During this earth
quake two great waves rolled over the
town of Ta1cahuano; the deep sea, close
in shore. was dry for few moments and
smoke burst from the surface of the

a fast freight train on the Pennsylvania
railroad crashed into slowly moving

PANICKY FEELING
IS AMELIORATED
Funds Collected at Recent Inaugural

Over to Sufferers.

Lima, Peru, August 19.-The latest ad-
vices received here from Valparaiso says
that the panicky condition OF the people
is ameliratng. Great damage was done
in the Almendral quarter, the principal
business section of the city and in Vic
toria street few buildings except the man
sion are standing.
Advices from Santiago say there was a
tremendous earthquake there which did
damage. The fires followed
the shocks. There were few victims.
The funds collected in Chill at festivi-
ties in connection with the inauguration
of President-elect Montt will be dstrib-
uted among the sufferers from the earth
quake.

was not appalling AS yet no authentic
news has been received from Santiago,
although a courier is shortly expected.
Ouakes recur from time to time, but
are steadily diminishing In force. AS to
the dead and wounded an accurate esti-
mate is as yet impossible but 1t is be-
lieved that the former will exceed 1000 in
this and surrounding towns. The authori-
ties here have the situation well In hand
and have assumed control of the distri-
button of food. Troops and provisions
have been sent for and with thousands
of tons of wheat -four in stores here and
afioat, 1t is not believed that food
famine will occur. Martial law has pre-
vailed in Valparaiso since the first day of
the shocks and the entire population is
camping In the open. Sea cables of Cen
trail and South American companies mar
velously escaped unhurt.

manned on the engine and was uninjured
When the freight engine crashed into the
work train 1t plowed its way through the
cars. All of the laborers and others of the
work crew were asleep and those that
were killed probably never awoke
According to reports Engineer S. N.
Woods of the freight train had increased
the speed of his train just before the
crash, that he might take water in the
water pans along the track and in so
doing, is said to have exceeded his or
ders. When news of the wreck reached
this city two wrecking crews were sent
out. The conditions as described by men,
bers of these crews upon their arrival
were appalling. Dead and dying were
lying on the tracks while some of the in
jured were hanging out of the windows
of the cabin car crying for help and beg
ging to be saved from the fire that had
started in the wreck.

Take Refuge In Hills.
The hills surrounding Valparaiso suffer-
ed but slightly. More than 60,000 persons
have taken refuge there
That portion of the city where are the
customs house and the city hall, was not
seriously damaged. A large majority Of
the houses are not fit for habitation. The
store houses of the custom house are al
most totally destroyed
The water pipes of the city were broken
and the water poured through the streets
There Is even lack of water for drinking
purposes Provisions are lacking and
hunger is belning to make itself felt
The government has ordered its war
ships stationed at Talcahuano to bring at
once to Valparaiso the most needed neces-

The people OF Valparaiso are utterely
exhausted. They are awaiting the re-
establishment of the railway service to
leave the city.
