SEISMIC DISASTER
Visits the City of Valparaiso,
Metropolis of Chile.
DIRE WRECK AND ruin
Raging Fires Supplement Destruction
of Great Part Of City and Hun
dreds Of Lives Are Lost-May
Equal the Frisco Horror.

The city of Valparaiso, Chile, is re-
ported badly damaged by earthquake.
One report is that the situation may
prove to be as serious as that in San
Francisco. Practically every building
in the city is damaged, and fires
ragged in different parts of the city.
Many persons are reported killed and
injured. The earthquake has inter
rueted cable facilities to lower South
American points, and communication
is restricted to the route via Lis.
bon.
One report, which reached New
York Friday said that portions Of Val
paraiso were burning all night Thurs
day night, and that the bodies of hun
dreds of it's residents were buried in
the ruins Of the buildings.
All, the attempts made at Buenos
Ayres to obtain telegraphic commun-
ication from Chile regarding the earth.
quake were fruitless up till late Fri
day afternoon on account Of wire COM
munication being interrupted.
The tide gauges at Honolulu show
a disturbance apparently of distant
origin. Beginning at $50 o'clock Fri
day morning three waves per hour
have been indicated, showing an os-
cillation from the normal tides be-
tween three and four inches.
Correspondents at Buenos Ayres ca
BILE that it is feared the town Of Los
Andes, in the province Of Aconcagua,
has been destroyed. At the same time
it is pointed out that Buenos Ayres
has no direct communication with the
disturbed district.
Except for a few private messages
received in New York early Friday
morning reporting the earthquake, no
direct news from Chile has as yet
been received. The early reports said
the earthquake had resulted in great
loss of life and widespread damage
to property.
All cables reaching New York from
Chile have evidently been much de-
layed, according to statements of ca
bic officials, who are unable to get
any information bearing on the sit
uation other than the fact that an
earthquake had occurred; that the dis.
turbance had so disarranged the tele'
graphic apparatus that communication
had been interfered with.
News Received in London.
Some London firms trading with
Valparaiso have received telegrams
from agents there. One to James and
Alexander Brown says:
Severe earthquakes. Commerce
paralyzed. Town afire. Staff safe.
A Hamburg firm received a dis
patch stating that numerous districts
in Chile had been partially Destroy
ed: that Valparaiso had been prac-
tically demolished; that many ships
had been lost, and that over hun
dred persons had been killed and
many hundreds injured.
Valparaiso is a fortified seaport OF
Chile and the most important COM
mercial town on the western coast
of South America. It has a popula-
ton of 100000. It is the capital OF
a province Of the same name and
is situated on a large bay in the Pa
cifc ocean, Is miles west northwest
of Santiago, with which 1t is con-
nected by rail.
