Relief Measures Discussed.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. The Nat
tonal American Red Cross Society has
requested the State Department to In
form it of the extent of the Chilean
earthquake and of advisability of ap
pealing to this country for relief for
in. suffeiiH in that eot.mry. On i.c
tount of meagre reports received in
Washington the Red Cross hesitated
to take any steps previous to this
lime. Assistant Secretary of Stat
Bacon Is a member of the executive
committee of the Red Cross Society.
Report Received Saturday.
WASHINGTON. Aug. IS. Official
id vices reached ihe State Department
today regarding the Valparaiso earth
quake, but they gave information
similar to that already contained in
mess dispatches. Under today's date,
Mr... llljsitu American minister at
Safltftfco. RUU-d'Tliat&il deaths were
leported at Valparaiso and Immense
destruction had been caused by tire
and that many towns have been
wiped out. He added that there is
unlvetsal mourning. He said it was
k ported that at Santiago there were
:!n deaths and. much destruction of
property.
The Stale Department also an
nounced that Minister Hicks, 'under
date t f the 1Mb. rejKirts that on ihe
Hith there, was a frightful earthquake
Willi loss of life, many buildings being
destroyed, and shocks continued until
the date of the telegram; that the le
gation was safe; that the houses In
the towns were deserted and thou
sands of people had slept two nights
in the plazas and parks."
Cable advices were received at the
Chilean legation today, dated Santi
ago. Chile, August IS, slating that
the earthquake In that city was very
severe, but that there were few
casualties. I'p to the time of filing
the dispatch, which the charge d'af
faires believes was Saturday evening,
no new had been received in Santi
ago fnmi Valparaiso on account of
the Interruption to the railroad and
telegraph lines.
A dispatch to the Stale Depart
ment from the American legation at
Quito, Ecuador, states that a reKiit
has been received there that an
earthquake visited Valparaiso, but Ihe
dispatch gave no details. Another
dispatch to the Stat Department
came from the American consul gen
eral at Iqulqiie, Chile, who reports
that Valparaiso Is lit ruins from an
earthquake and is on fire. He stated
that at the time of the filing of his
dispatch there was no communication,
with Santiago and no further detail
were obtainable. The date of his dis
patch is in doubt.

American delegation to the Pan
American Congress at Rio, cabled
the Stale Department today saying
thai no Information had been recclvtil
at Rio concerning the earthquake, and
asked the department, for news. Act
