The Situation.

This is the island made famous by
Daniel De Foe as the scene OF tht
thrilling adventures of Robinson Cru
soc.
The earthquakes in Chile have
ceased. the resultant fires have been
cxtinguished, and people of the tw1
cities, Valparaiso and Santiago, are
taking good steps to relieve suffering,
care for the wounded, and bury the
dead. The period Of succor has Ell.
tered.
Dispatches received from Chile tend
TO show that the first estimates OF
casualties and material damage had
peer greatly exaggerated, and that
the people of Valparaiso are becoming
Calmer.
II is still impossible 70 reach any
correct estimate Of the dead and in
iured. The reports from Chile are
most conflicting. \ large section OF
the counry. however, was visited by
the catastrophe of last Thursday.

lars.
The remCter districts have not ye:
been heard from. and efforts are be-
ing made to establish communication,
either by wire or cDuricrs, with the
provinces.
The statement is made that every
building in Valparaiso has been dam
aged, and that the city has been de.
scribed as "uninhabitable."
Santiago suffered much less than
Valparaiso. The number OF dead In
Santiago Is reported at 20.
II is reported that six or eight
towns in the stricken districts have
been destroyed, but details are still
lacking.
