(By the Associated Press.)
Lima, Pern, August 18. Heavy
earthquake shocks occurred at Val
paraiso at intervals during Thursday
night and damaged a number of
buildings, some of them falling into
the streets and rendering traffic dan
gerous. The troops were called out
and shot ull pillagers. Many persons
were killed by falling walls. The
survivors camped on the hills and la
open spaces. A number of people
also sought refuge on lKard vessels
in the harbor of Valparaiso.
Vina Del Mar, a town about three
miles from Valparaiso, having a pop
ulation of about 12,000; Qullepque
province of Valparaiso, with a popu
lation of about four thousand, and
Iiinmch. twenty-five miles from Val
paraiso, population about 4,000, are
reported to be in ruins.
Santiago, Chile, Aug. 10. (Ic
layrd in transmission)
The worst earthquake ever re
lnemberod occurred this evening lx--Rinulnff
at ubout 8 o'clock. Houses
fell in the streets which were filled
with hysterical people. The clerks
at the cable offices say that the tele
graph lines to the coast are severed.
The electric lights are out and as
the correspondent is trying to file
this despatch the earthquake is again
starting. He can hear people wail
ing and praying in the streets while
the Are bells throughout the city arc
ringing out alarms.
Quillotta, province of Valparaiso,
20 miles from the city of Valparaiso
und other small towns, have been
destroyed.
London, August 18.-2:35 p. m. A pri
vate cable dispatch received this after
noon from Valparaiso says the fire
there continues jri the business quar
ters, but Is declining. Another private
cable dispatch received at 2:15 this
afternoon says business has been re
sumed at Valparaiso.
The Shocks Pass South.
New Jfork, Aug. 18. A cable de
spatch In a morning paper from
BuenoAyres says: In Valparaiso the
loss olfe is said to have been large.
The disturbance was general through
out Chile and some points in the Ar
gentine Republic, passing south
along the Pacific coast and cralWne
the Andes. Shocks were seveS? at
Santa Rosa and Andes city. The
property loss Is enormous. Many
houses were thrown down, including
the government houses.
A Chilean Representative Speaks.
Consul General Adolfo Ortuzar for
Chile in this city, issued the follow
ing statement today regarding the
earthquake in Valparaiso:
"Up to the present moment w are
without official news as to the pro
portions of the effect of the earthquake
which occurred in the Cordileras of the
Andes had upon Valparaiso. The fail
ure of communications was due to the
fact that the telegraph lines which
unite Chile1 and Argentina have been
cut in the Cordileras of the Andes and
this la the reason why we lack news.
My personal opinion is that the acci
dent lias not reached , the proportions
which has been credited to It. Special
cables received by the house, of W.
R. Grace & Company by way of Lima,
Peru, state that their building at Val
paraiso is safe and has not suffered the
least shock. This building is situated
In the most crowded part of the city
and besides It Is an old one, which
makes me suppose that the shock, al
though grave, has not had 'the terrible
consequences which have been an
nounced. The central point of the cat
aclysm must have been situated in the
suburbs of Uspallatay, from where
Valparaiso in Chile and Mendoza in
Argentine have received strong convul
sions, but not of as great proportions
as have been reported. W. R. Grace &
Company have 180 employes In Val
paraiso, and up to the present time, ac
i ordlng to their telegrams, every one of
thorn is safe."
General Throughout Chile.
A cable dispatch to a morning paper
"from Buenos Ayers says:
According to the information receiv
ed here, large numbers of buildings
have been destroyed In Valparaiso and
the loss of life is said to have been
large.
The disturbance was general through
out Chile, and was felt at some points
In the Argentine Republic.
News of the disaster is extremely
meagre, owing to the fact that tele
graphic communication is cut off, the
shocks having thrown down the tele
graph lines.
From the few details obtainable here
it appears that there were five shock-,
the disturbance passing south along
the Pacific coast and crossing the An
des. The shocks were severe accord
ing to the registration of the seismo
graph instruments here, and at Santa
Rosa and Andes City.
The property loss is enormous. Many
houses were thrown down, including
government house.
During the night the volcano of Tu
puhgato on the Chile-Argentine bor
der, was heard roaring, and the people
lied to the churches to pray for safety.
At San Juan, In the Andes, high
winds accompanied the shocks. The
iihock at Andes City was severe.
The shocks seriously affected the
towns of Rosario, Aransas, Rioja, San
Luis and Tucuman.
The Central and South American Tel
egraph Company early today received
this message from Valparaiso:
"People demoralized; all business
houses closed; no.prospoet of an early
restoration of lines to Santiago or
Buenos Ayres."
Flames Yet Rage.
A cable dispatch to a morning paper
from Lima. Peru, says:
About 8 o'clock on Thursday even
ng there was a tremendous earthquake
it Valparaiso, Chile. As at San lfrafl"
ciso, the shock was followed by the
Uniting of many fires. The flames,
xteiiding from the Plaza Orden to-
.vard the north, have not yet been ex
inguished. Many houses have been
lestroyed. and nearly all of those in
he city are more or less damaged,
dther by the earthquake or by fire.
Business is at a complete standstill.
The banks are closed.
The gas supply is unavailable and
he electric lighting system is com
iletely knocked out.
The greatest panic prevails among
:he inhabitants. Many families are
leeing from the city.
The weather is fair and the sea is
calm.
Communication with Santiago de
hlle is interrupted, and it is impossi
ble to learn what has occurred there.
Many persons were killed and In
iured in Valparaiso. The shocks' con
:inue, but are milder.
The shipping in the porf was not
injured.
The streets which suffered most were
Calles Blanco, Condell and Esmeralda,
and those in Delleias district, whore
the best residences are.
The Shocks Continue.
The earthquake shocks severely felt
throughout the region of Valparaiso,
.'hile, Thursday night, were followed
Friday by a series of earth tremors
hat continued at intervals through
ut the day.
The first intelligence to this fact was
irought to this tity early today In the
vssociated Press dispatch from Gal-,-eston.
Texas, where the cable oper
itor had .been in recent communication
,vlth the cable operator at Valparaln.
The latter said many buildings had
been destroyed, and expressed the be
lef that many fatalities had occurred,
llthough anything like a definite esti
mate of the dead was impossible.
The second series of quakes was re
corded by the seismograph in the gov
ernment observatory at Baldwin City,
Kansas, a pronounced shock being
timed at 7.27 o'clock Friday morning.
This latest report of loss of life and
property is consistent with a dispatch
received by cable companies and busi
ness houses here.
Extent of Disaster Unknown.
Seth R. Abrams, managei ol the west
oast division of the South American
trade of the American Trading Com-
panjr, said that his firm had been ad-
i-ised that a severe earthquake had
wrought destruction in Valparaiso, ard
that parts oi 'he city were in flames.
Manager Robertson or tne central
mil South American Telegraph Com-
aanv. said that he was not in a posi
tion to give out the reports that his
company had received rrom tneir oper
vtors at Valparaiso and other points
tlong the Chilean coast. "I can tell
... - . . c r..1
you that tnero nas oeen iconui
earthquake." said he, "and parts of
the city are on fire. What information
we have received up to the present are
in the form of private messages to
Individuals in this city and we are
not permitted to give these to the pub
lic. Our operators are so busy and the
confusion so great that we cannot ex
pect them to make a full report upon
conditions there for some time to come.
Communication was restored by our
operators in Chile yesterday, and now
our wire is working perfectly. Beyond
Valparaiso, however, and through all
the inland districts there Is not a wire
up. No word has yet been received
from Santiago, La Serena, Concepcion
or Iquique. We cannot tell what the
extent of the earthquake is, nor at
what time we will be able to restore
communication with the interior.
Early today the company received
this message from its representative
at Valparaiso:
"People demoralized; all business
houses closed; no prospect of an early
restoration of lines to Santiago or
Buenos Ayres."
The company's office, which Is always
closed ot niRdit, made no exception las)
night. Its riight business came through
the Western Union's Wall street office
as usual.
No Details Obtainable.
Manager Kr.ene of the Western
Union said early this morning that
nothing in the way of details of the
oarthquake had come through to any
one. Many private messages Mere
received bearing the single Word
"Safe," but nothing that would give
a line on the extent of the disaster.
Early today flr underwriters here
had no general information as to
whether there was any large fire loss
at Valparaiso. The insurance at Val
paraiso is in local and foreign insur
ance companies. None of It is written
by the American companies, and that

an investigation of the affair, but so
far as known the war authorities havo
made no move.
The girl is in a hospital, and her con
dition is reported serious.
Since the acute revival of terrorism
the ministry of the interior has been
flooded with complaints forwarded by
chiefs of police In all parts of the em
pire to the effect that the police are
resigning by wholesale, and it is ex
pected that if this state of affairs con
tinues it may compel a practical re
placement of the police by troops.

The Wake county republican con
vention this afternoon named the fol

lative and county ticket:
The caucus appeared to have pretty
well fixed things, for everything was
extremely harmonious, there being few
contests, and where mere was any

The Wake republican county conven
tion met today in the court house at
about a quarter past 12 o'clock.
For awhile it looked as if k might be
a "skidoo" affair like t lie congressional
and judicial affair earlier in the week,
but the situation wis relieved.
At five minutes Imst 12 there were
exactly 23 present, arid it was not until
seven or eight injnutes had elapsed
that the "skidoo" was broken.
nhfltrmoh T 1 I IT AHnma nf thf.
county executive ejmimlttee called the
convention to order and designated
United States Marshal Claudius Dock
ery as chairman of the convention.
Mr. Dockery announced that on ac
count of delayed trains there was a
request that no business be transacted
until all the trains were in. He sug
gested that a recess be taken until two
o'clock, and a motion was promptly
made and passed to that effect.
There was soma little discussion as
to the holding of a caucus while wait
ing for the belated delegates. Some
thought they ought not to caucus in
the absence of ill" delegates.
Meantime it was announced that Sea
board train No. was in, bringing
practically all of the delegates who
were delayed.
Thad Ivey of Cary insisted upon the
caucus and put and carried a motion
to the effect that the delegates hold a
caucus during the recess.
The reporters present being demo
crats were politely requested to with
draw. Meantime United States Commis
sioner Nichols announced that he had
been designated as a member of the
board of elections and it was neces
sary that three poll holders should be
selected for each voting precinct and
their names given in before the first
Monday In September. "
Commissioner Nichols was designated
by Mr. Ivey as president of the cau
cus, but he declined on account of
pressing business awaiting him in his
office. Then Marshal Claudius Dock
ery was made the caucus president.
The reporters departed, and what was
done is shrouded in cloudy mystery.
The caucus lasted until half past one
o'clock. It is said that tht principal
tiling doncwas the suggesting ot r.ames
for the various county offices and con
sulting among the neighbors of tli
proposed candidates as to the chances
of their accepting ' the nomination.
The roll of to' .nships was called b
Vic Terry. There was no contest.
On motion of W. G. Hriggs the tem
porary organization, Marshall Claudius
Dockery. chairman, and Vic Terry, sec
rotary, was made permanent.
After a few more words from Mi
Dockery on the opportunity of beatin;
the democrats in Wake county at this
time, the convention sot down to busi
ness. Mr. Terry moved the appointment of
n committee of five on platform, and
the chair named Messrs. Terry, Briggs.
Lashley. Hester and Mangum.
Commissioner Nichols moved that in
order to save time, a committee ot one
from each township should consider
a list of names of proposed candidates
and report an available ticket.
There was immediate objection to
this from Mr Medlin and others, and
Col. Nichols promptly withdrew his
m(ltion
The convention'' then, without more
ado. got straight to work to nominate
a county ticket. The matter of county
commissioners came first. Col. Nichols
started the ball by naming W. W.
Wynne of Raleigh. With a view to his
being chairman.
Dther candidates nominated were
Charles Suggs of Middle Creek, J. J.

ing been organized Juno 19, 1-905.
It is of Interest to nolo in this con
nection, too, that the band will on
its return inaugurate a system of
(raining that will add yet morn to its
ifflclency in that a special director,
Prof. Walter Derderick, of Wheeling,
W. Va.. has been engaged to train
the band. He will arrive about Sep

Thomas as chief musician, the hand
has. already made remarkable pro
gress, ns the people of Raleigh gladly
attest since they have had excellent
opportunity to judge by means of the
series of open air concerts that the
band has given the past few weeks
on Fridav nights. The last of the
series before the departure of the
band for Chickamatiga was given
last, night and was heard by three
thousand or more people. The unan
imous verdict was that the last was
the verv best of the series, although
very one of the series was of a most
redttable character.

THE RECORDS MADE BY
OUR SEISMOGRAPHS
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Aug. 18. The records
of the seismographs at the woather
bureau, taken from the Instruments
this morning, show that there have bean
no earth movements here since those of
Thursday afternoon and evening, which
undoubtedly were due to the Chilean
earthquake, (if great interest to the
weather bureau officials is the fact
that Thursday's record shows that the
heaviest east and west movement was
at 44 minutes and 45 seconds past 7
p. in., and the strongest north and
south movement did not occur until
eight minutes later. The north and
south movement was the heavier, the
earth movement being over a quarter
of an inch.
At 10.30 o'clock this morning neither
the state department nor the Chilean
legation had received any report of
the earthquake in Chile. Mr. Walker
Martinez is attending the Pan-American
conference In Rio Janeiro, and In
