Slight shocks today threw the

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 14.-Chile
was again visited by earth shocks
late last night. Severe tremors were
felt at LaSerena, capital of the pro-
vince of Coquimbo, at IL o'clock, and
half an hour earlier the seaport city

was shaken, according to advices re-
ceived here by the National Tele-
graph.
The town of Carrizal, consisting
tuOSJly OA uWClhAkS clto

appeared, but no mention of the loss
of life is made. The inhabitants
number about 1900 and there are
$50 other persons living at the port
of Carrizal.
Advices from Antofagasta filed at
$50 last night said a strong earth
shock has been felt at Taltal, a sea
port of several thousand population,
only a few miles from Antofagasta.
LaSerena was one of the cities Sc
yerely stricken by three earthquakes
of last Saturday morning, which took
a toll of more than 1900 lives in va
rious parts of Chile.
TIE extent of casualties and prop
erty damage wrought by the tremors
and tidal waves three days ago has
not yet been fully learned, as COM

quimbo have been greatly damaged.
The Pacific ocean seems not yet to
have fully recovered it's equilibrium
as the result of last weeks terrific
disturbances, or else there have been
some new movements under the
ocean bed. Antofagasta reports say
that yesterday the sea ebbed and
then came booming back upon the
shore three times, much in the same
strange manner of the tidal waves of
last Saturday.
The entire diplomatic corps called
on the foreign, minister to tender
