ADDITIONAL REPORTS
Of GREAT DAMAGE:
BY RECENT QUAKE

SANTIAGO, Chile, NOV. l5.-(By
the Associated Press.)-Chile was
again visited by earth shocks late
Monday night. Severe tremors were
felt at La Serena, capital of the prov
ince Of Coquimbo, at II o'clock, and
half an hour earlier the seaport Con-
stitution, capital Of the province Of
Maule, was shaken, according to adj
vices received here by the National
Telegraph.
The town Of Carrizal, consisting
mostly Of underground dwellings
and copper mines, Isl reported to
have disappeared, but no mention
Of the loss of lives is made. The in
habitants number about 200 and
there are $50 other persons living at
the Port Of Carrizal.
Advices from Antofagasta filed
at $50 Monday night said a strong
earth shock had just been felt at
Taltal, a seaport of several thou
sand population, only a few miles
from Antofagasta.
La Serena was one of the cities
severely stricken by the earthquake
Of last Saturday morning, which
took a toll Of more than $500 lives
in various parts of Chile.
The extent Of casualties and prop
erty damage wrought by the trem-
ors and tidal waves three days ago
has not yet been fully learned, as
communication lines still are out of
order in many regions.
Town Wrecked
The mayor Of Antofagasta has re-
ceived a message from the mayor of
Vicuna, a village in the province of
Atacama, giving the first news of
the effect Of the earthquake in that
town. There was no loss of life in
Vicuna, the mayor said, but public
buildings, churches and the tele-
graph office were badly damaged.
The commercial quarter is in ruins
and so are the schools. The hospi-
tai was damaged and the dispensary
destroyed.
Schools and public buildings at
Paiguano are also in ruins and
nefghboring villages in the province
of Coquimbo have been greatly DAM
aged.
The Pacific ocean seems not yet
to have fully recovered it's equilib-
rum as the result Of last weeks
terrific disturbances, or else there
have been some new movements I'M
der the ocean bed. Antofagasta re-
ports say that yesterday the sea
ebbed and then came booming back
upon the shore three times, much in
the strange manner of the tidal
waves of last Saturday.
The entire diplomatic corps called
on the foreign minister to tender
their condolences to the stricken
nation. A message Of sympathy was
received by President AlIessandri
from President Alvear, of the Ar
gentine republic.
Property losses amounting to
millions of dollars which resulted
from the earthquake and tidal
waves Of aturday will be a severe
economic blow to the country, it is
feared. The town of Vallenar seems
to have suffered the most. Only
three houses remain standing there
and 700 of the inhabitants are dead.
The list of dead throughout the
country will probably reach some
where between 1900 and 1000.
The dead counted at Copiapo so
far number sixty and the injured
ITO. There are no lights in the
town and the inhabitants are camp
ing out. Even the telegraph is op-
Grating in the open air.
The telegraph offices at Santiago
present pitiful scenes. Crowds
gather about all day seeking infor-
nation about the fate of friends and
relatives in the devastated regions.
Considerable uneasiness has been
caused by prediction of an Argentine
meterologist that the earthquake
would be repeated between Deem
Der and December z.
The 600 bodies already recovered
from the ruins of the city of Vale
mar were carried to the public
! square and after they had been
identified, were burned.
