Valpa raiso suffered much from fire. Many people have left the two cities and the stream of refugees continues. The disturbances are confined to the Pacific slope of the Andes, but Inqui que, the centre of the Nitrate indus try, has escaped injury. The disturb ance was recorded by seismographs in Washington, Honolulu, Hamburg, and Goet, Tinger. Various firms in Europe and Amer ica with business interests in Chile jiave received messages the safety of employes. Among the places reported to have been damaged or destroyed are Vina Eel Mar IL',000 people, 3 miles from Valparaiso; Quilpque and Limache, of 4,000 people each both in Valpa raiso Province; Quillota, 26 miles from Valparaiso; Illapel 5,000 peo ple 130 miles northwest of Santiago; Vallenar, 5,000 people, 300 males north of Santiago, and ether smali towns. Houses in Valparaiso and Santiago, as well as other towns in Chine are built to withstand earthquake. They are made of stone with thick walls and are seldom more than two stories high. They are therefore not very combustible Francisco. Other towns on the Chilean side of the Andes wholly or partially destroy ed are Quillota, with a population of 9.000; Llai-IJai 2.500; Illapel 5.000; Vallenar 5,000, and Sanfelipe having 12,000. There was great loss of life at Quillota. From Santiago to the Andes, every bridge was totally wrecked and the railway lines torn up. The shock is supposed to have been caused by the eruption of a volcano near Junin Los Andes. It is impos sible to estimate the dimension of the disaster at the present moment on ac count of the circuitous route over which the news is received. Ther is no. doubt, however, that the catas trophe was of large proportion. Berlin, August IS. The Warsaw cor respondent of the Vossische Zeitung gives the following description of it: "The population is terribly distress ed, and there is hardly any street traffic on account cf the insecurity of life. All the hospitals are so over crowded that patients are obliged to lie on the floors and passages. In thp morgue there are still lying 38 dead who were found in the streets. It is not known how many have been burifd secretly during the night by the police. It is impossible to ascertain the num ber of dead or wounded. Dr. Lorten Walo bandaged the wounds of 472 per sons. The center of the town is quiet but it is most dangerous to enter the Jewish quarter." (.Sp-cia! to The Messenger.! Rakish, N. C, August 1$.

Valparaiso has been wrecked by earthquake and fire and the few buildings that es caped serious damage from the quakes have either burned or are in immedi ate danger of being burned. The peo ple are panic stricken and all attempts an effort is being made to calm the Mr.rtial law has been proclaimed and an effort is being made to c aim the people, but with little hope, as the earthquakes still contiuue up to this afternoon, five shocks being felt to day, although not so frequent nor vio lent, but enough to keep the people in a state of terror. The Mexican cable was in operation all day to Valparaiso, but to interior points all overland wires are down and it will be several days before they are restored. The entire buBi rrirss portion of Valparaiso has been destroyed. The authorities will not permit any lights in the buildings, and at dark the cable office was closed for the night. The dead and injured are es timated at one thousand, while wild rumors place the figures at four thousand. However, owing to the lack of a systematic report, all fig ures are speculation. The shocks have continued since Thursday night and five slight shocks were felt today. The shipping in the ; harbor escaped damage and every vessel is a haven for refugees. All buildings have been deserted. Practi cally nothing has been done In the way of clearing wrecks or searching for dead bodies and laborers refuse to enter the ruins because of the con tinued shocks. Soldiers will force the rescue work tomorrow. The cable office closed at dusk on account of the lack of lights, and because of martial law, compelling op erators to keep off the streets for fear of being shot by the guards. deaths.
