Santiago, Chill, Aug. 19.-The latest
news brought in here by refugees from
Valparaiso contradicts some Of the
first exaggerated statements from
there, but shows that the catastrophe
was extremely severe. Senior Groz,
one OF the refugees, relates that the
first shock at Valparaiso was very pro-
longed and threw the entire city into
1ndeScribable panic. People crowded
the streets and the squares, crying and
lamenting. The first shock also
threw down number of buildings The
second shock was more severe and re-
suited in the crumbling of most of the
buildings in the Almendral quarter.
Immediately after the second shock
the entire city was plunged into ter
rife darkness. This, however did not
last long, for the scene of destruction
was soon lit up by the fires that broke
out in this quarter. The light from
the fiames, Senor Groz continues, came
IS welcome relief from the darkness.
The people were in a state of terror.
many believing that the end OF the
world had come.
Among the buildings destroyed were
the Victoria theater, the Bella Vista
'railrodd station and the Club de Sep
tembeT. Most of the severe damage was
done on the lower ground reclaimed

Masses of material blocked the
streets. Avenue Brazil is almost to.
tally wrecked. The known dead does
not exceed 100, according to the best
estimates. Among those dead Is the
wife OF Admiral Montt.
The hills surrounding Valparaiso
suffered but slightly.
More than 10000 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 At for
habitation. The storehouses of the
customs house are almost totally de-
stroyed.
Tho water pipes of the city we're
broken and the water poured through
the streets. There is even lack OF
water for drinking purposes. Provis.
ions are lacking and hunger Is begin

The government has ordered its war
ships stationed Mt Talcahuano to bring
at once to Valparaiso the most needed
necessities of life.
The people OF Valparaiso are utterly
exhausted. They are awaiting the re-
establishment OF the railway service
to leave the city.
Santiago de Chill, Aug. 19.-It is
known that eight lives were lost In
this city by the earthquake. but It is
believed that many persons were killed
by the falling buildings and that their
bodies will be discovered later. Sew

Valparaiso, Chill, Aug. 10, via Gal
veston.-Proportiona the catastro-
phe here is considered greater than
that which befell San Francisco. Val
paraiso and neighboring towns are
wrecked and partially burned and in
all of the towns of the Aconcagua val
ley are similar. In the southern por-
tion of Chilli severe shocks were felt
at Talcapuano, Conception, Talca and
Zone, but there the disaster was not
appalling. AS yet no authentic news
has been received from Santiago, al
though a courier is shortly expected.
Quakes occur from time to time, but
are steadily diminishing in force. AS
to the dead and wounded. an accurate
estimate is as yet impossible, but it is
believed the former will exceed 1000
in this and surrounding towns.
The authorities here have the situa-
ton we'll in hand and have assumed
distribution of food. Couriers have
been dispatched both north and south
for troops. Provisions and thousands
of tons Of -four, wheat and rice are
held in stores here and afloat, it is not
believed a food famine will occur
Martial law has ruled in VALPARAISO
since the first day of the shocks and
the entire population is camping in
the open. The only wire working is
subterranean, and sea cables of Gen.
trail and South American companies,
which marvelously escaped undam-
aged.

EARTHQUAKE RUINS VALPARAISO
and BADLY DAMAGES SANTIAGO

Valparaiso, Chill, Aug. 1s.-At 1852
O'Clock last Thursday evening Val
paraiso experienced an earthquake of
great severity and during that night
eighty-two shocks were felt.
Most Of the buildings of the city are
either burned or damaged. The loss
will be enormous, probably reaching
$3.50, 100000.
Two thousand persons killed is con-
sidered to be a fair estimate of the
casualties.
Vina Del Mar, three miles from Val
paraiso and having a population OF
over 10000; Quirivue, 225 miles to the
southwark, with a population Of $500;
Salto, Limache, fifteen miles to the
northwest, with a population of $500;
Quillota, twenty-five miles to the north
west, with a population OF 10000, and
villages all around were destroyed.
Most of the damage was due to fire,
which started Immediately after the
first shock. The whole population is
sleeping In the hills, the parks or the
streets.
Food is very scarce. Milk costs two
Chilean dollars liter, and it is al
most impossible to obtain meat. even
at high prices.
The railroads are all destroyed.
Rain, which began to fall immedi-
ately after the first shock, stopped an
hour afterward. The nights are very
cold and windy, the people sleeping
In the open are suffering greatly.
The captain Of a steamship which
has arrived from San Francisco says
the situation here is worse than that
following the disaster at San Fran
cisco.

but do not pinch them after the tenth oil August,
for they will then need the rest of the season
to grow and develop, The object is TO have a
good, strong young root and healthy, thick
plants and flower stalks and as many to each
plant as possible. In growing them through
summer always keep them in the sun. Inc
shade of trees or a fence building OF any
kind has a tendency to draw them up with
long flower shoots, and too often the result
is that only two or three shoots flower, and
even these are apt TO be indifferent.
The soil to grow chTyanthemums in should be
good loan and sand, and plenty OF fertilizer
Don't place them near enough together TO crowd
the plants but let the air and sun be all
around them To keep them growing they should
be watered twice a day in very warm weather
and once daily in cooler weather. As the plants
grow YOU should be careful TO tic them out, so
as TO give each shoot chance to develop.
