EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS STILL CONTINUE;
DETAILS LACKING FROM VALPARAISO
POTATO FAMINE I'M
IRELAND In PROSPECT
Blight Reported from Every County,
and Crop May Be Nearly Total
Failure.

Dublin, Aug. 1S.-A potato famine
menaces the country next winter. The
much dreaded blight is reported from
every county in ireland, and in many
districts the crop will be total fail
ure.
The first reports of the blight came
from Connaught a month ago. and since
that time its spread has been rapid
and ruinous. An investigation of con-
ditions is being made by the govern
nent. and steps may be taken in ad-
vance to ward off the distress that is
expected in the winter months.
The silver lining to the cloud lies in
the fact that remittances from America
are more liberal than usual this season,
and the peasants feel that the hard
times" will be nothing like those of
years past
The first blight of the Irish potato
crop occurred in 1S45 and 1916, when
the yield throughout the country was
nil. The famine and cho-
lera that followed devastated the coun-
try, and more than 100000 of the
S.000,0 600 population at that time per
ished of hunger and pestilence. Practi-
cally since that time there has not
been a full potato crop in Ireland.
