 London. August 20.--The Chilean le- gation today recsived a cable message from Santiago, dated yesterday. read ing as follows
 "on the evening of August IS a se- were earthquake was felt between Valparaiso and Talca. The loss of life was not very great, The damage to property was considerable at Valpa- rafso but was less at Santiago.
 Public order has been entirely maiH- tained The authorities and private persons are succoring the distressed people. The foreign legations are lending aid. The north has been wholly unaffected by the earthquake" !"
 Private cable messages received by members of the Chilean legation tend to show that Valparaiso did not suffer as much as was at first supposed. The heaviest damage was confined to the eastern section of the town. which in cluded the poorer residential district
 The port and shipping at Valpa- raiso apparently escaped damage.

 There are indications from the re- ports received that the earthquake caused great damage throughout the Andean region.

 A reduction of about one cent a pound is made on manufactured steel iron, brass. bronze, copper and tin.
 Flour and lard are the chief ex- ports from this country to Ecuador and on these products there is no change in duty

STATEMENT BY coNsULs.
DiRrent Governments Will ContInue
 Their Overseeing as Usual.

Difrent Governments Win Continue
 Their Overseeing as Usual.
 New York, Aug 20.--The Consul Gem eral of Chile, at New York today gave out the following statement:
 Now that the proportions of the ca- tastrophe in Valparaiso are known, 1t is necessary to inform the merchants In this country that all the the consu- lates of Chile in the United States and possessions will continue as customary to wise shipments destined for Valpa- rhiso. giving the shippers authority to land their merchandise at their own op- tions in Valparaiso or in any other port of Chile.
 Tt Is timely to mention that out side of Valparaiso the other ports of the republic have not suffered by the earthquake and will continue as usual dispatching cargoes. We can assume that on account of this disaster the i'm portation of foreign goods will surely become more active and probably the custom house duties on certain recea- sities will be lowered.

DECAPITATED AGED SNAKE.
New York State Woman Pins Reptile
to Earth and Uses Pocket
Knife.

Bath, N. Y-A large rattlesnake is on
exhibition in this village which was
killed by the wife of Marcellus Rice,
farmer of this town, who resides on
Mount Washington, in region noted
for rattlesnakes. Instead of killing the
snake with a stick, she adopted the
novel method of decapitating it with
pocketknife.
Her son John was engaged in picking
berries, when in the bushes near by he
heard strange noise and told his
mother. She accompanied her son back
to the place, where she recognized in the
sound the rattle of the snake. She Sc
cured forked stick with which she be-
gan prodding in the grass, and was re-
warded by the snake striking at her.
While the snake was yet uncoiled and
before it could prepare for a second at
tack she damned the forked stick over
it's head. The snake thus imprisoned
made a violent commotion, coiling its
body about the stick.
However, she was clear nerve. She
searched with her other hand in her
apron pocket until she found pocket
knife, and this she handed to her son
and told him to open its largest blade.
He did SO and returned the knife to his
mother. She took the knife and DELHI
erately cut off the snakes head. The
snake measured 80 inches in length and
lad nine rattles.

ROMANCE IN HUNGARY.
Young Nobleman in Love with Poor
Girl Finds Himself in
Prison

Berlin.-A romantic story, with all
the details of medieval tale-impris-
onment in tower, opposition of obdur-
ate parents, rescue and abduction, Gull
minating in marriage, comes from
Grosiewarthen, in Hungary.
In olden days the maiden was impris-
oned, but to-day it is the sweetheart,
young nobleman madly in love with
poor girl, who finds himself in prison.
The parents Of the nobleman did
everything to break the engagement,
but without avail. The preparations for
the marriage were in progress
when the young baron disappeared.
Under the pretext of viewing
some repairs on one of the FAM
fly estates he was lured into the
tower of the building and imprisoned.
His rooms were luxuriously furnished,
and an old retainer served him. The
servant was induced to forward let
ter to the girl, who, with her father, Sc
cured the release of the baron. They
bribed the keeper of the tower, and be-
fore the mobiles parents could interfere
the marriage had taken place.
