HORRORS OF THE EARTHQUAKE
THAT DEVASTATED VALPARAISO

Santiago, Chill, Aug. 21.-The state
ment that the approach of the earth
quake was announced by the Naval
Observatory at Valparaiso two days
previous to its occurrence is con-
tirmed. The news was published in
the Chilean press Wednesday, August
18th, the day before the earthquake oc-
CURED.
Only now can the seriousness of the
catastrophe begin to be appreciated
The greater part of the modern houses
are unsafe for habitation and the au-
thcrities have organized special
corps to pull down the tottering build
ings. In most of the streets it is not
safe to walk on the pavement, owing
to falling debris.
Santiago resembles a camp. The
public squares and the principal ave-
nues are crowded with people sleeping
in the open. All kinds of carriages and
cabs have been requisitioned to sleep
in, or even under them.
The night of August 10th was rem
dered dreadful by flashing lightning
and pouring rain, the electric cables
and wires swapping as a result of the
constant, strong earth shocks which
! occurred all that night causing the
greatest CONSERVATION, which was
heightened by the pealing of the fire
| bells announcing the breaking out of
| fires in various quarters of the city.
| Each shock was followed by walls and
| prayers for the people who were
| kneeling in the rain and mud.
The first great shock lasted four
minutes and fifty seconds. Such long
| shock had never occurred before in
| the memory of any inhabitants of San
| tiagO. 1t caused the bells of the
| churches to ring, pictures swung out
| from the walls and there was a great,
| heaving motion of the ground. Experts
say that the only thing which saved
Santiago from complete ruin was that
the motion was circular. The princi-
pal shock was from Valparaiso to San
tiago and Meripilla, with its center at
Limacbe.

Valparaiso. Aug. 21.-Tho loss of life
of the earthquake of Thursday. Aug.
16, probably will not be short of 5000,
while the property destroyed is esti-
mated at S1OO,OOOOO and possibly is
far in excess of that sum.
Order is being maintained with the
utmost severity by the military, police
and armed citizens patrols, who are
empoW cred to shoot loOte"s on the
spot Over 100 have been shot. The
authorities are showing the utmost en-
ergy in the protection of property.
With the first terrific shock of the
earthquake buildings collapsed, their
walls falling with a tremendous noise.
The inmates in many cases We're un-
able to escape. The shock was fol
lowed almost Immediately by a fierce
storm, the wind prOstrating walls that
had been weakened by the earthquake
and these broke trolley wires, which
flashed necessarily. The second shock
was even heavier than the first.
Five minutes afterward fires started
in every direction and Immediately the
whole town. which had been momen-
tarily in darkness, was illuminated by
gigantic flames. The firemen made a

been broken by the early tremor The
Victoria theater (opera house, and the
naval club were utterly destroyed by
| the earthquake and the National thea.
ter succumbed TO earthquake ana fire.
The Club de Septiembre, the Church
of La Merced, the buildings of the
French fathers, the navy department
buildings, the city hall and many other
buildings were destroyed by the earth
quake. The destruction by fire, how
ever, was infinitely larger, and prob
| ably sixty per cent of the commercial
houses were totally ruined. In Brazil
avenue alone nearly thirty blocks of
buildings from three to five stories
high were destroyed.
