1000 ARE DEAD
AT VALPARAISO
Many Chilean Villages Reported De-
stroyed by Earthquake.
PEOPLE FLED TO THE HILLS

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 16, and continued
at frequent intervals throughout that
and che next two days.
Dispatches from Valparaiso to the AS
sociated Press state that a moderate
estimate of the fatalities is 1000, and
that the property loss may be as high
as $3.50, ,000,0 900, 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 report of damages and casualties
were greatly exaggerated. Dispatches
to the state department at Washing
ton place the fatalities at about 500.
These conflicting statements cannot
at this time be adjusted. 1t is evident
that even yet confusion and panic pre-
vail at Valparaiso, and until order is
restored it will be impossible to ascer'
tain with accuracy the loss to life and
property. The dwellings in the city
have been practically abandoned by
the inhabitants, who are existing as
best they can in the plazas and streets
of the city and hills adjacent to it.
without shelter from storm or sun, and
with famine confronting them.
Food is already scarce and high. wa
ter for drinking purposes is lacking
and disease is feared. The govern
ment is doing all 1t can to bring in
relief. The crippling of the railroads
leading into Valparaiso constitute
serious factor in the situation, as fol
an indefinite period relief supplies can
only be obtained through other means
of transportation, the seabOard offer
ing the best of these.
At Santiago many of the best pub
lie and private dwellings were wreck
ed. The loss of life there was aug
mented by the panic which seized the
people. many of whom threw them
selves from the balconies of theiI
homes The destructive force of the
earthquake was experienced over q
large extent of the country, many
towns sustaining serious damage.
Smyrna times., 1906-08-22

throughout the country is not yet
known, but advices have been received
to the effect that the towns of Virlage
and Casablanca were entirely destroy
ed, and that San Felipe, Rancagua,
Melipilla and Llaillai were severely
damaged At Conception the shock
was severe, and a number of persons
were killed or injured. he towns of
Rengo, San Fernando, Quillotta and
San Antonio and many villages are in
ruins.
In the city of Santiago much dam
age was done. Many public buildings
particularly churches, were disman-
tied. he buildings of congress, the mu-
nicipal buildings, the normal school,
the courts, the Peruvian legation, the
residence of President Riesco, the CEN
trail market. the prefecture of police
and the national telegraph offices all
were seriously damaged.
The scenes at the hospitals and pris-
ons during the excitement were dis
tressing in the extreme. The prison
ers tried to escape from the jails, in
the hope that they might reach place
of safety, and prison guards were
obliged to fire into the air in order to
intimidate and quiet their panic-strick.

1000 REPORTED KILLED
Many Chilean Villages Destroyed BY
Erthuuake and Fire.

Valparaiso, Chile Aug. 2O.-At 7.5l
O'Clock last Thursday evening Valpa
raiso experienced an earthquake OF
great severity, and during the night
so shocks were felt.
Most of the buildings of the city
either we're ruined or damaged, and
conditions are appalling.
The loss will be enormous, prob
ably reaching $250,000,000.
Two thousand persons killed is con
sidered to be a fair estimate of the
casualties.
Entire streets are buried in ruins
Fires which broke out Immediately
after the earthquake added to the ter
ror and danger. Sixty thousand people
have taken refuge on the hills sur
rounding the city. Lack of water pre-
vents efforts to extinguish the flames
The buildings of the arsenal, naval
school and navy department have
fallen, as well as the custom house
the Hotel Royal, the Offices of the
Mercurio and the houses of Ross &
Edwards. The Bank of Chile and the
Bank Tarapacay Argentina also are in
ruins.
Vina del Mar three miles from Val
paraiso and having a population OF
over 100000; Quirihue (225 miles to
the southwark, with a population OF
2500), Salto Limache Us miles to the
northwest, with a population of $500,
Quilloto (25 miles to the northwest
with a population of 10000, and vii.
lagos all around were destroyed
Most of the damage was due to fire
which started Immediately after the
first shock.
The whole population is sleeping in
the hills, the parks or the streets
Food is very scarce. Milk costs two
Chilean dollars a liter, and it is al
most impossible to obtain meat even
at high prices.
The railroads are all destroyed.
Rain, which began to fall imme
diately after the first shock, stopped
an hour afterwards.
The nights are very cold and windy
and the people sleeping in the open are
suffering greatly.
The captain of a steamship which
has arrived from San Francisco says
that the situation here is worse thar
that following the disaster at Sar
Francisco.

Pay Off Church Mortgage.
Philadelphia, Aug. 17.-With a war
rant out for his arrest, charging him
with embezzling $500 which was to
have been used in paying off church
mortgage, Rev. George H. Culley, pas
tor of the Sixth Christian Church, is
missing. Efforts to locate the fugitive
clergyman have thus far failed, though
he is believed by his congregation to
be with his wife and child in New
York.
The money which Mr.. Culley is ac'
cused of embezzling was raised by
Mrs. John Beveridge, one of his con
gregation, who mortgaged her home
and entrusted the $500 to the pastor,
Some time later Mr.. Culley informed
Mrs. Beveridge that the church mort
gage had been cancelled, but on max
ing inquiries at the Office of the build
ing and loan association which held
the mortgage she learned that the
clergyman had only paid the interest
Mr.. Culley managed to evade an eX
PLANTATION, and following an interview
with Mrs. Beveridge he disappeared
A meeting of the church members was
held. and c. A. Bender. secretary oi
the church, was instructed to swear
out a warrant for the missing pastors
