New York, Aug. 18.-A cable dis
patch from Lima, Peru, says:
About o'clock Thursday evening
there was tremendous earthquake at
Valparaiso. As at San Francisco, the
shock was followed by the starting of
many fires, the flames extending from
the Plaza Orden toward the north and
have not been extinguished. Many
houses have been destroyed and nearly
all of those in the city are more or less
damaged either by earthquake or fire.
Business is at complete standstill.
The banks are closed. The gas sup.
ply is unavailable and the electric
lighting system is completely knocked
out. The greatest panic prevails
among the inhabitants. Many fami-
lies are fleeing from the city.
The weather is fair and the sea
calm. Communication with Santiago
de Chile is interrupted and it is i'm
possible to learn what has happened.
New York, Aug. 1S.-The Central
& Southern American Telegraph
Company early this morning received
this message from Valparaiso:
People demoralized; all business
houses closed. No prospect Of an
early restoration of lines to Santiago
or Buenos Ayres."
New York, Aug. 18.-The Herald
today prints the following:
Valparaiso, Chile, Friday, via Gal
weston, Texas-Without. the slightest
tremor of warning an earthquake Wis
tied this city at 8 o'clock last night,
bringing death to hundreds of persons
and leaving many hundreds more i'm
prisoned in the ruins, many of whom
we're burned to death before aid could
reach them. Fire started Immediate
ly after the first shock and every
branch of the city's service was para
lyzed. Panic and CONSERVATION indie
scribable followed, and those who es-
capped death and injury became fren-
zied with fear and could render little
assistance to the victims.
The business section of the city is
almost destroyed and fires are still
raging. We are suffering here rep

Galveston, Texas, Aug. 1s.-Ac-
cording to statements made by the ca
BILE operator at Valparaiso, who was
working in direct communication with
the Office in this city, yesterday 8
earthquake shocks continued at inter-
walls all through the day and many
times the operators had to flee from
their Office.
The operator at Valparaiso stated
that everything is in confusion at that
place, many houses having been RACED
and the loss of life is believed to be
heavy, although no attempt has been
made as yet to ascertain the number.
Overland lines over the Andes noun
tains are all down and communication
south of Valparaiso is completely shut
off.

SAYS SHOT CAME FROM FORT
Federal Attorney Holds Entire Bat
talon of Negro Soldiers Guilty.

Special to The Journal.
Galveston, Tex, Dec. ON. G. Nc.
Lemore, United States district attorney,
who makes frequent visits to Browns
VILE, claims that personal investigation
after the shooting up of that city by
negro soldiers convinced him that the
first volley of shots came direct from
the barracks He said: A'l-
While. there determined to make
an investigation on my own account
and after nearly completing it, I dis.
covered that Merrill Griffith had been
Investigating along the same lines. We
arrived at the same conclusions, VIZ:
The attack was premeditated and well
organized, and that the first volley,
which shattered Louis Cowan' s house,
came from the second story of the bar.
racks; The shots were not intended
for Cowan 8 house but for the house
of Fred Tate, the inspector who had
knocked a negro soldier down for Jos.
ting lady.
IT examined the bullet holes in
Louis Cowan' g house, and discovered
that they came from the direction, of
the barracks and entered the house in
a downward course, showing they must
have been shot from an elevation. AS
the barracks are right across from the
house. and the only building in that
ulIecC!OH, L consider that the bullet
holes In the house established the guilt
Of the soldiers.
Further it points out the fact that
the whole battalion was implicated,
because the shots could not have been
fired without the sentry and others
about the fort hearing them. I cannot
understand how the evidence has been
covered up: Why has not the corporal
who held the gun rack key been called
to, account. Why has not the sentry
who must have seen the soldiers leave
with their guns been called upon for
testimony? The shots being fired from
the barracks, it seems very strange to
me and every person who has made an
investigation, that no one about the
fort could locate them.
IT am positive that the entire bat
talon was either guilty of the shooting
or had a guilty knowledge. I believe
that the president was justified in dis
honorably discharging the entire COM
mand -

America and the far east exclusively.
This would throw the question into.
conference between the two houses with
the result of the conference uncertain.
1t is unlikely that there will be any
currency reform legislation this session.
The subject is so big. that it will have
to come up in "a long session in order
to stand a chance of getting thru.
The bill limiting the hours of labor
OF railway employees probably will
pass. It was debated thoroly in the
last session, and has executive approval
The senate probably will dispose of it
by the middle Of January.
Congo Resolution to Fore.
Some time is to be devoted by the
senate. to the consideration Of the
Lodge resolution extending the sympa-
thy and support of this country in
eHorts which may be made to correct
conditions IN the Congo. The foreign
relations committee will meet next
week, when the resolution will come up.
:, The condition of public sentiment in
TINS country is such that some sort of
actlon by congress will be demanded.
Opinion here is divided, however, as to
whether the Lodge resolution will be
passed, but the subject will lead to
vigorous debate and may be before the
senate for several weeks.
Inc bill giving the government the
rlgnt TO appeal IN criminal cases is
hanging fire, but it is believed that it
will pass. Senator Spooner has been
accused Of holding it up, but whether
ne alone. is to blame is not learned.
The suspicion is that there are a num-
Der OF senators who worked to kill it.
This legislation would prevent recur-
renee of the disaster which befell the
government when it tried the packing
house cases before Judge Humphrey
In Chicago early in the year.
Will Reject Labor's Plea.
Congress will not comply with the de-
mands Of organized labor that the in
junction law be so amended to exempt
labor from its operations. Should con
gress, however, pass such an act, it is
very generally believed that the presi-
dent would veto it. In his annual mes
sage he discussed this demand of la
borers in characteristic style.
What is to become of the bill pro-
h1bltlng corporations from making cam
palgn contributions has not vet been
determined. There is no real opposi-
ton to it, and if a guess were in order
1t would be that the bill would pass.
The Philippine tariff matter is dead,
so far as this session is concerned and
so is the Santo Domingo treaty.
All the matters mentioned thus far,
excepting that of the colored troops
came over from the long session a year
ago.
Inheritance and income tax laws will
not be considered this winter.
No further legislation will be en-.
acted at present against corporations
as the president is demonstrating con-
clus1vely that there already are laws
enough to keep the department Of JUS
t1ce busy. Legislation Of this character
will be deferred until the higher courts
have, had an opportunity to speak re-
gardlng some Of the pending cases.
