Several persons became so panic
stricken during the tremblings of the
earth that they threw themselves from
the balconies of their homes and were
killed. The fires which followed the
earthquake in this city were promptly
extinguished, but while they lasted
they added greatly to the terror of the
people
As all telegraph and telephone lines
we're more or less damaged, the exact
situation throughout the country is
not yet known. but advices have been
received to the effect that the towns
of Viriage and Casablanca were en-
tirely destroyed and that San Felipe,
Rancagua, Melipilla and Llaillai were
severely damaged. At Conception the
shock was severe and number OF
persons were killed or injured. The
towns of Rengo, San Fernando, Quill
lotta and San Antonio, and many vii
lages are in ruins. All railway ser
vice in the central zone is either in
terrupted entirely or greatly delayed,
and commerce is practically at a
standstill.
In the city of Santiago much dam
age was done. Many public build
ings, particularly churches, were dis
mantled. The buildings of congress,
the municipal buildings, the normal
school. the courts, the Peruvian legis-
lation. the residence of President Ri
esco, the central market. the prefee-
ture of police and the National tele-
graph Office. will be seriously dam
aged. The lines of the electric tram
way system and electric light wires
were shortcircuited, interrupting
street ear traffic, and plunging the
city into entire darkness. The scenes
at the hospitals and prisons during
the excitement were distressing in the
extreme. The prisoners tried to es-
cape from the jails in the hope that
they might reach a place OF safety
and prison guards we're obliged to fire
into the air in order to intimidate
and quiet their panic stricken charges.
There have been several return
shocks Of slight intensity. These
shocks have served to continue the
state of public alarm, and state Of
panic still prevails. The astroromi.
cal observatory, however, has given
out a statement to the effect that il
does not appear to be possible that
there will be a repetition of the Sc
we're shocks. Last night many persons
slept in the tramway ears, in carriages
and in the open air in the public
squares and strets. The government
has taken steps to restore order. An
inspection of all houses left standing
has been ordered, and directions have
been issued for the distribution of
relief supplies TO those in need A
troop of cavalry has been sent to re-
establish communication with Valpar
also.
The alarming news first received by
the government from Valparaiso as
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1906-08-21

to the situation in that city has not
been confirmed, but it is known that
numerous buildings in the vicinity of
the port were destroyed and that
there have been severe fires in the
Almendral quarter. The mayor of
Valparaiso sent word he did not know
the number of killed or injured, but
believed they were numerous. Firemen
left Santiago yesterday for Valpar-
also TO aid in the extinguishing Of the
fires there. The custom house in Val.
paraiso is reported to be burning Sew
eral travellers who have just arrived
here from Valparaiso say that re-
ports of the situation in that city
were exaggerated An employe of
the telegraph service sent word from
Salto, near Valparaiso, confirming the
news of the SERIOUS fire in the Almen-
dral quarter. This employe also sent
news that the Spanish Italian bank
was destroyed by the earthquake. A
traveller who came here on an express
train tells that when. the train was
near Las Vagas, about half way be-
tween Valparaiso and Santiago, the
ears were shaken violently, and the
engine nearly left the track. A stop
was made and the terrified passengers
alighted. Later they proceeded to
Llaillal, which they found in almost
total ruins
All lines of railway to the north
and the line to Talco are greatly
damaged. In the city Of Santiago a
majority of the victims of the dis
aster were residents of the poorer
sections of the city, where many OF
the small houses were thrown to the
ground. Several deaths from nervous
excitement and heart disease are re.
ported.
The latest news brought in here by
refugees from Valparaiso contradicts
the first exaggerated statements re-
ceived from there, but shows, however,
that the catastrophe was extremely
severe. Senior Groz, one Of the refu-
gees, relates that the first shock in
Valparaiso was very prolonged and
threw the entire city into indescrlb-
able painic. People crowded the
streets and the squares crying and Ia
menting. The first shock also threw
down a number Of buildings. The
second shock was more severe and re-
suited in the crumbling of most OF
the buildings in the Almehdral quar-
ter.
Immediately after the second shock
the entire city was plunged into ter.
rifying darkness. This, however, did
not last long for the scene OF des-
truction was soon lit y by the fires.
which broke out in this quarter. The
light from the flames, Senor Groz con-
tinues, came as a welcome relief to
the darkness. The people were in a
state of terror, many believing that
the end of the world had come.
Among the buildings DESTROYED

Eight-Fire Consuming City.

There continues confusion of state
ments as TO the magnitude of the dis
aster TO Valparaiso caused by the
earthquake shocks which began on
Thursday, August Is, and continued
at frequent intervals throughout that
and the next two days.
Dispatches from Valparaiso to the
Associated Press state that moder-
ate estimate Of the fatalities is 1000,
and that the property loss may be as
high as s250,000,000, which latter is
as great as the loss sustained by San
Francisco in consequence Of the
earthquake and fire which devastated
that city last April.
A refugee who has arrived at San
tiago places the known dead at 100,
and other messages indicate that the
first reports of the damage and cas-
ualties were greatly exaggerated. Dis
patches TO the state department at
Washington place the fatalities at
about 500. These conflicting state
ments cannot at this time be adjusted
II is evident that even yet confusion
and panic prevail at Valparaiso. and
until order is restored. il will be Inn
possible to ascertain with accuracy the
loss TO life and property.
The dwellings in the city have been
practically abandoned by the inhab-
itants who are existing as best they
can in the plazas and streets of the
city and the hills adjacent to It with.
out shelter from storm and sun. and
with famine confronting them. Food
is already scarce and high. water for
drinking purposes is lacking and dis

Over Four Per Cent-Canton
Money Is Let Out at
Much Less Rate.

The city of Cleveland has received
bids for the daily balances under the
new depository law. In it's account of
the bids as opened Saturday the Cleve-
land News says:
Three years ago the best bid was
a per cent and the average of interest
received during the last three years
from banking institutions in which the
city makes its deposits has been
about 3.S5. This time there are seven
bids Of per cent or more and City
Treasurer Nau estimates roughly that
the average will be about 800 this
time. The fund on deposit for the last
three years has averaged $1,000, ,000
For the coming three-year period it
Will be larger. A number of banks
will receive deposits. The law allows
as many banks to be used as is ne
cessary for the safe depositing of the
money.
"The bid OF the American Savings
bank Is for $4,000 only, whne the
ClCNeiduu LNdJlOUHl ana Ll6 Pedrl
Street Savings & Trust Co. bid on
100000 each. The United Banking Il
Savings Co. put in two bids for $780,
600 each, offering higher rate OF in
terest for the first 100000 than for
the second. None of the other banks
put any limit on the amount they
would receive.
