EARTHQUAKES IN CHILE

Details Of the great earthquake
at Valparaiso on Thursday night
show that the Chilean city suffered
a disaster probably worse than
that which resulted in the partial
destruction Of San Francisco four
months ago.
The latest reports indicate that
the earthquake shocks have ceased,
the resultant fires have been ex'
tlngulshed and the people of the
two cities of Valparaiso and San.
tiago are taking organized steps to
relieve suffering, care for the
wounded and bury the dead.
The latest estimate places the
number of dead 1T Valparaiso at
1000 and the property less at $3.50,
100000. Besides this, there was
great loss of life and enormous
property damage in other Chilean
cities and towns.
The people of Val Iaraiso are
left destitute. But little food re-
mains in the city, and it is sold at
famine prices. Few of the innabit
ants can find shelter, and, despite
the fact that winter prevails in that
part of the world, and the nights
are very cold and windy. the people
are obliged to sleep in the open,
hungry and miserable.
There is little chance that the
earthquake victims can receive such
succor as went to San Francisco,
owing to the great distance of the
stricken city from other cities
which might send relief. For this
reason there is some fear that a
famine may follow the disaster of
earthquake and fire.
