CHARACTERISTIC VIEWS IN VALPARAISO, CHILEAN
SEAPORT DEVASTATED BY EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE
Valparaiso, By Cable. Some busi
: es houses have opened for the first
;;me since the earthquake. Telephone
.r,ni telegraphic communication with
Santiago has been re-established. The
:iy is still under martial law. As
:';e lirst installment the government
' .s appropriated $4,000,000 for the
u'lef of the destitute.
1'Le custom house has been re-open-c!
and traffic by water and rail hs
! t'l'ii resumed. Postal service is also
in operation.
n of the greatest difficulties en-
t h'red by the authorities is the in
" ' "t of the bodies recovered from
i : i' ruins, as all cemeteries were de-.-'ioyed.
At various temporary mor
ses heaps of coffins are accumulated,
waiting the designation of their
i!ai i's of burial.
The work of recovering the bodies
is being pushed to the utmost in order
to avoid an epidemic, in fear of which
many families are leaving the city.
Through the whole length of Brazil
Avenue and all over Victoria Square
sheils have been constructed to shel
ter the homeless from the severe
rains.
Valpariaso, By Cable. The loss of
life by the earthquake of Thursday,
August 1(5, probably will not be short
of 3.1 mm), while the property destroyed
is estimated at $100,000,000 and pos
sibly was in exces of that sum.
Order is being maintained with tli
utmost severity by the military, po
lice and armed citizens' patrols, who'
are empowered to shoot looters on tl.
spot. The authorities are showing the
utmost energy in the protection of
property.
With the lirst terrible shock of the
earthquake, building's collapsed, their
walls falling- in with a tremendous
noise-. Tim inmates in many caaes
were unable to escape. The shock was
followed almost immediately by a
fierce storm, the wind prostrating
walls that had been weakened by the
earthquake, and these broke trolley
wires, which flashed incessantly. The
second shock was even more severe
than the first.
Five minutes afterward fires started
in every direction, and the whole
town, which had been momentarily
in darkness, was illuminated by gi
gantic flames. The firemen made a
desparate fight, though there was lit
tle water, as most of the mains had
been broken by the earth tremble. The
Victoria Threatre (opera house) and
the Naval Club were utterly destroy
ed by the earthquake, and the Nat
ional Theatre succumbed to earth
quake and fire.
Valparaiso, capital of the province
of Valparaiso, is the principal city on
the South American west coast. It is
Chile's fortified seaport and has a
population of about one hundred and
fifty thousand, having grown from six
thousand in 1826. It is one of the
most progressive cities of South
America.
It is connected by rail with San
tiago, the capital, sixty-eight miles
distant.
Paralleling the Chilean coast of
twenty-three hundred miles is the
same mountain chain which lies at
the back of the State of California,
and through which the earth's tre
mors ran which so completely trans
formed San Francisco.
There are two sections of Valpar
aiso, one devoted to commercial ac
tivity and the other to domestic life,
that part of the city fronting the.
water, on which immense ware
houses and spacious docks and quays
are built, having been in the early
days of Valparaiso the centre of its
thrilt. As Valparaiso began to grow
then1 was a gradual movement lack
from the shore front, until to-day the
slopes leading to the heights are oc
cupied by magnificent residences, the
homes of the big merchants of the
city, all built to endure, and forming
one of the show sights of the Chik-au
city.
Of jourse, the streets in the old
quarter are crooked and narrow, but
the enterprise which Ftruck the city
three decades ago 's seen in the regu
lar, wide and perfectly equipped thor
oughfares in the Almendral. In a
southern direction from the city run
th'i Nuevo Malecob and Gran Abe
nida, joining out in the country in
what s known as one of the bsst
thoroughfares in the world.

The majority of tlie-n are engaged in

The town is situated in what seis
mologists term the "earthquake
ish, invested in various industries in
Chile. A few years ago the capital
was principally British, but now the
Germans predominate. The Valpa
raiso electric street railway system
was constructed by a German coin-
first to open up the nitrate trade In
Chile, and made several million dol
lars by it.
The Chilean Government owns and
operates the railroads, which are be
ing extended in all directions. The
most important line in course of con
struction is the Trans-Andean Rail
road, which will, when completed.ena

a height o 1700 feet, and are ter

finer buildings of brick and stone, are
situated below on the level, which Is
practically all made ground.
The harbor is open to exposure
from the north, an I Is a dangerous
anchorage for vessels at all seasons
of the year. In ordinary weather
there is always a heavy surf, and
when a storm occurs vessels are fre
quently torn adrift from their an
chorage and dashed to pieces on the
beach. Thv, Chilean Congress recent
ly decided to have a breakwater con
structed to protect the shipping at a
cost of $20,000,000.
There are several wharves on the
water front where ships of small ton
nage can go along?' Je, but the larger
steamers have to anchor in the bay
and discharge and load their freight
by lighters.' The principal steamship
line to Valparaiso is the Pacific Mail
Steam Navigation Company, which
operates a service from Liverpool via
the Straits of Magellan and a coast
service between Valparaiso and Pan
ma. The town section of the City of
paraiso i called the Almendral.
In it the principal business houses,
the Park, aud the Tlaza Victoria are

will be opened toward the end of
1908. Another railway is being
built from the Peruvian frontier to
the Straits of Magellan, with branch
lines to coast ports, mining districts
and agricultural centres.
Chile has been visited by severe
earthquakes about every sixty years.
In the last severe earthquake, in
1S35, the Isle of Santa Maria was up
lifted in three different localities,
eight, nine and ten feet, but all this
land subsided a few weeks after
ward. At the same time two great
waves rolled over the town of Talca
huano. Valparaiso's chief manufactures
are cotton goods, machinery and iron
goods. Much mjneral water is bot
tled there, whil's .he sugar refineries
and the brewing and distilling inter
ests are large. From the city are ex
ported nitrate, in which millions are
invested, grain, wool, leather, guano,
saltpetre and copper, although this
mineral has not been developed to its
fullest extent.
Valparaiso suffered a disastrous
earthquake in 1855, it was bombard
ed by the Spanish in 1S6G and suf
fered from a terrific tidal wave on
June 30. 1899. which wrecked the
railroad and did a great deal of dam
aae in other directions.
Chile threw off the yoke of Spain
in the early part of the nineteenth
century. It consists of twenty-four
provinces and territories and con
'n 290. S29 square miles.
A special Washington dispatch to

The fact that exports of domestic
merchandise from the United States

which ended June 30 last. To this
they have added, for comparative pur
poses, a column showing the cxporta
rions of the same articles in lStlfi.
