At the first terrible shock of the

walls falling with tremendous noise.
The inmates in many cases were un-
able to escape The shock was follow
ed almost Immediately by fierce
storm, the wind prostrating walls that
had been weakened.
The second shock was even heavier
than the first. Five minutes afterward
fires started in every direction, and i'm
mediatcly the whole town, which had
been in darkness moment before, was
illuminated by towering flames. The
fremen made desperate fight, but
there was no water, as most of the
mains were broken by the earth g ter
rible oscillation, and they were power
less.
The greatest damage occurred in the
cities of Valparaiso and Aconcagua.
The town of Abarca suffered severely.
Llai Llai is reported to have entirely
disappeared, and Limache and Hero
Viejo have been almost totally wreck
ed. At Vina del Mar three.q quarters of
the houses are in ruins.
The authorities of Valparaiso are
feeding the people, and provisions are
being brought in from places that were
not destroyed. Slight earthquake
shocks are continuing The people have
not yet returned to their homes, but
are sleeping on the surrounding hills /,

occurred.
Santiago Is still practically isolated
Geographically from all other parts Of
Chile, but an improvised line to Los
Andes, connecting with the European
cables, is working.
Difficulty is experienced nj Valparaiso
In burying the bodies of the dead
owing TO the panic. The authorities
AT Valparaiso have to contend with
serious difficulties In succoring the
wounded owing TO the fact that all
the drug stores apparently were de-
stroyed. and some time elapsed before
medical supplies from this city reached
the stricken port.
The uncertainty as to what is oc-
curing elsewhere in Ctpile and the al
most complete isolation of Santiago,
combined with the continuing earth
quake shocks. are terribly trying.
A dispatch received here from Ii
mache says that hundred bodies
there remain unburied, and that the
authorities UP to the present time have
been only able to bury two hundred.
The villages OF San Francisco and LII
mache have been totally destroyed, in
all the public buildings.
The task of the authorities in the
present situation became easier today
on account of the fact that telegraph
and telephone communication was re-
between Valparaiso and |

Valparaiso to consult at length with
the authorities here. Nothing definite

reports of the extent of the

cities may be expected very soon.
The time may come when telephone
poles In cities will be curiosity, as
the advantages Of underground wires
seem to more than compensate for the
additional expense, The Objectionable
appearance Of a confused network Of
overhead wires ought to be sufficient
to condemn that system for cities, and
the liability to open circuits In case
OF high winds. or accumulations OF
sleet on the wires. makes 1t unreliable
for all places. Another objection Ia
the danger occasioned when tele-
phone wire becomes crossed with
high-voltage wire. This frequently
occurs in the overhead system, but
when the two wires are in separate
ducts a cross is almost impossible.
The underground line mentioned,
says Popular Mechanics has wires laid
in duets, which are of several diff
ferent types, preference being given
to one or the other according to the
physical condition of the country. the
