RELIEF PARTY Is THERE
Medical Officers Arrive With
Food and Medicines For
Quake Sufferers
ASSOCIATED Press DispatchI

Santiago, Chile, November 49,
Strong earth shocks were felt at
1925 o'clock this morning in the
Copiapo and La Serena districts
where great loss OF life was suffer-
ed in Saturdays quake, ACCORDING
to National Telegraph dispatches.
The inhabitants or Santiago were
much alarmed early this morning
when a slight earth sheck was fell
here, the motion apparently being
vertical. The tremor began at la:
O'Clock.
The director of a private meteor
illogical institute had forecasted an
earth movement at two o'clock. due
to the conjunction of the moon and
saturn.
Dispatches from Copiapo report
the arrival there of a medical anC
relief party, bringing large stock
of food and medicines. The medi
cal, officers of the party found a
number of the injured lying n the
open air in the vineyards, Z the
hospital, which was built in 1913
had been completely ruined. Other

Conditions at valIenar
THESE conditions are stated to be
surpassed by those in Vallenar
where bodies still remain beneath
the ruins, their decomposition con-
stituting serious menace to the
public health. The inhabitants
without food, are living in contin
ual state of terror, sleeping on the
nearby hills. Breaking of the pipes
has left the town without water.
The news that President Harding
is sending warships to Huasco with
supplies was received here with ex-
preston of gratitude on all sides.
While doubtless the vessels cannot
arrive for another week, lit is con-
sidered certain, Judging from CON
tlnued reports OF the serious condf
lions and appeals for relief from
the district, that the aid will be
timely.
Despite the railroad connections
to the north, the quickest means OF
communication with the district
even in normal times is by ship and
IT is believed some weeks will
elapse before it is possible to deliv
er all the supplies necessary to al
lay distress.
Much appreciation was expressed
for the offer of assistance from the
American Red Cross but so far as
known no decision has been taken
1t is understood the authorities, be-
fore accepting. are endeavoring to
ascertain more definitely the extent
of the damage and the number oil
persons in need of assistance.
