STORM FOLLOWED THE SHOCK.
Earthquake, Fire, Wind and Lightning
Terrified Valparaiso.

Valparaiso, Aug. 22.-The loss of life
by the earthquake of Thursday, August
Is, probably will not be short of 8 900,
while the property destroyed is esti-
mated at 500, 900, 900, and probably is
far in excess of that sum.
Order is being maintained with the
utmost severity by the military, police
and armed citizens patrols, who are
empowered to shoot hooters on the spot.
The authorities are showing the utmost
energy IN the protection of property.
With the fret terrible shock of the
earthquake buildings collapsed, their
walls falling with tremendous noise.
The inmates in many cases were unable
to escape. The shock was followed al
most Immediately by fierce storm, the
wind prostrating the walls that had
been weakened by the earthquake, and
these broke trolley wires, which flash
ed necessarily. The second shock was
even heavier than the first.
Five minutes afterwaId fires started
in every direction, and Immediately
the whole town. which had been mo-
mentarily in darkness, was illuminated
by gigantic flames. The fremen made
desperate fight, though there was but
little WAFER, as most of the mains had
been broken by the early tremor.

NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR ALL
Deficiency in Appropriations for Ma
neuvers of State Troops.

Deficiency in Appropriations for Ma
neuvers of State Troops.
Washington, Aug. 24.-After month
of hard work, Assistant Secretary DIV
er, of the War department, concluded
that be had finally made satisfactory
adjustment of the many difficulties in
apportioning the appropriation of $780,
900 for pay Of the militia at the ma
neuvers in different camps throughout
the country, but it appears that all is
not satisfactory. In some cases more
state troops than had been given in the
schedule were sent into the camps and
more expense was thus added. This
caused deficit in the allotment of
funds, especially in the matter of pay
for the state troops. The pay depart
ment of the army decided to pay the
troops as long as the funds lasted, those
who came last going unpaid. Another
adjustment may be made after the
camps have finished their work, as
some camps may not use all the money
allotted to them and the funds can be
used to make up the deficit elsewhere.
1t is possible that congress will be ask
ed to make an appropriation to cover
the deficit and the state troops pain
next winter.

FOREIGN CAPITAL TO REBUILD.
Its interests Are Large and Chilean
Credit Is Good.

Its interests Are Large and Chilean
Credit Is Good.
New York, Aug. 22.-Quan Tonkin,
a Chilean civil engineer, who is now in
New York, said last night:
''In Valparaiso local and foreign in
terests are go great that it Is absolutely
certain the city will be rebuilt. The
financial burden of rehabilitation will
not be thrown on Chile alone, but also
on the numerous foreign interests,
which include most of the nations of
the world. Of the foreign interests |
believe the English will be the heaviest
losers, especially the many English fire
insurance companies that suffered such
great losses in the destruction of San
Francisco. However, it must be kept
in mind that Chile enjoys very high
financial credit, especially in the Lon
don market, where her bonds are quot
ed at 991S per cent. The external debt
of Chile is about sos, 900, 900, which
has always been scrupulously served.
and it takes only 81 per cent Of the
Chilean government revenue to serve
this debt. The Chilean state railway
alone represents nearly as much as the
external debt, while the salt petre
lands represent four or FIVE times 90
much MORE"

REVOLT GAINS HEADWAY.
Cuban Insurgents Capture Another
Town From Government.


Town From Government.
Havana, Aug. 24.-Pino Guerrero,
the insurgent leader in Pinar del Rio,
today followed up the capture of San
Luis, by taking San Juan de Martinez,
the terminus of the Western railroad,
and by threatening to wreck the rail-
road and all it's property unless the
company ceases forwarding troops for
the government.
Alarmed by these insurgent success
es, the government has ordered from
an American arms manufacturing COM
pany four rapid-fre guns and that
these pieces be manned by ex-members
of the artillery branch OF the American
army now here. If these guns prove
to be effective, four or more additional
guns will be ordered, and it is expected
that experienced gunners will be pro-
cured in the United Staes to man them
The United States has not been asked
to do anything in the premises.
The subject of American Intervention
is not much discussed here, and is re.
garded as remote possibility. there
being general confidence that the gov
eminent will be able to restore order in
short time.
The killing of the insurrectionsry
leader, General Quentin Bandera, to-
day in an engagement between rura
guards and band of his followers il
regarded as dealing the insurrection 6
heavy blow.
Public opinion appears to vary &C
cording to locality, from enthusiastic
adherence to the government to oper
rebellion. In this city the general at
titude is one of loyalty, but there has
been nothing which could be fairly de
scribed as general rising of the people
in defense of the government.

TO KILL GOVERNOR.
Assassin Makes Attempt on Life of
Cuban Official.

Cuban Official.
Havana, Aug. 23.-An attempt was
made this evening to assassinate Gen.
eral Emilio Nunez, governor of the
province of Havana. The would-b be- as
sassin was arrested. His identity is
not known, but he is white man and
was we'll dressed.
A telegram to the government late
tonight stated that Major Laurent,
with his detachment of rural guards,
fought Guerra and his 800 men for
three hours completely defeating him,
killing or wounding many of his fol-
lowers and taking three prisoners. The
dispatch adds that the rebels dispersed
in all directions, being chased long
distances. None of the rural guards
were hurt.
General Jose Miguel Gomez, who
was arrested Tuesday, was formerly
governor of Santa Clara province and
was the Liberal candidate for the pres
idency last year. He is expected to ar
rive in Havana early tomorrow. The
government always suspected Gomez
along with other Liberal leaders OF
conspiring or conniving at insurrection-
airy schemes. but there was no definite
evidence until it developed that he was
planning to take the field at the head
of the Santa Clara insurgents. Had
General Gomez taken the field, it would
would have had an immense influence,
as he is strong, magnetic military
leader

Want Pay and Title To Go With Work

Washington, Aug. 22.-Some better
method of advancement of officers OF
the Philippine scouts is advocated by
Brigadier General James A. Buchanan,
retired, former commander of the Wis
ayas. Under the present law lieuten-
ants cannot be promoted to the grade of
captain. Many lieutenants of the
Philippine scouts are and have been for
the last five years performing a cap
tain's duty, others raised, organized
and for three or four years kept their
companies in excellent condition, only
to lose their commands.

kURoPATkIN IS NEEDED.
Disgraced General Has Full Conf
dence of His Soldiers.

Disgraced General Has Full Conf,
dence of His Soldiers.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 22.-Is General
Kuropatkin, once the pride of the en-
tire Russian army, war minister and
fighter by nature, but whose laurels
were trampled under foot by the VIC
torious Japanese at Liaoyang, in the
earlier days of the fighting in Northern
Corea and Manchuria, to be vindicated.
That is the question uppermost in
the mind of every officer of the army
tonight, and also the chief topic of dis
cussion at the military clubs, on the
question arising through the indus
trious circulation of report that the
czar has sent for the general and in
tends to place him once again at the
head of the department of War. Such
action would overthrow all ancient
Russian traditions, but it is apparently
necessary.
Kuropatkin is the one man, and
probably the only one in ell Russia,
who is in a position to reorganize the
army. He is loved by the common
soldier, who believes that he is the
only officer of general rank who has
their interest at heart. If Entrusted
with the task of bringing back the al
legiance of the troops to the "Little
Father" he could do it, and the know
ledge that this lie so is responsible for
the belief here that he is to come into
his own again.
Since his return from the front, q
disgraced and broken hearted man, the
general has been in retirement. at his
mother'C home, but it is generally ex-
pected that he will soon be back in the
capital in his old position as minister
of war.

His extensive knowledge of the law, his wonderful power of appli- cation, and the experience already had in the compilation of his splendid Digest make him the logical man for such an un- dertaking.

The engineer saw the child too late to stop his engine and, as a consequence. the engine, and three heavy coal cars passed right over the baby. number of people were in sight and witnessed the scene with horror.
 Immediately after the engine had passed. tho crowd ru5hed to where they expected to find the mangled remains of the child. To their great astonishment, the child was found to be absolutely unhurt. It happened that just as the engine touched the child, it rolled between two cross ties, and there remained motionless until the whole traia had passed over tt without the slightest injury to it.
