    THIRTY ARE KILLED IN SANTIAGO.

Not as Bad ss Valparaise, Where
Conditions Ate Reported to Be
Werse Than They Were at San

and Fires Add te Tervor of Earth-
Guaice.
VALPARAISO, Chile, Aug. 20.—At
7:52 o'clock last Thursday evening Val-
paraiso experienced au uake of
great severity, and during that night
eighty-twa shocks were felt.
Most of the bulldiugs of the city
either were ruined or damaged. The
Joss will be enormous, probably reach-
lng $250,000,000,
Two thousand persons killed is con-
sidered to be a fair estimate of the cas-
ualties.
Vina del Mar, three miles from Val
paraiso and having a population over
10,000; Quirihue, 223 miles to the south
ward, with a population of 2.500; Salt
Limache, fifteen miles to the northwest,
with a population of 8500; Quillota,
twenty-five miles to the northwest,
with a population of 10,000, and vii-
lages all around were destroyed.
Most of the damage was due to fire,
which started fmmediately after “the
first shock.
The whole population ls sleeping tn
the hills, the parks or the streets.
Food Is very scarce. Milk costs two
‘Chilean dollars a liter, and It is almost
impossible to obtain meat, even at
high prices.
The rallroads are all destroyed.
Hain, which began to fall immediate
ly after the first abock, stopped an hour
afterward.
The nights are very cold and windy,
and the people sleeping In the open
are suffering greatly.
The captain of a steamship which has
seni word from Salto, near Valparaiso,
confirming the news of the serious
fires in the Almeudral quarter. This
employee also sent news that the
Spanish-Italian bank bulldiag of Val-
paraiso wis destroyed by the earth-
quake.
A traveler who came here by ex-
press train tells that when the train
was near Las Vegas, about halfway
between Valparaiso and Santiago, the
cars were shaken violently, and the
engine nearly left the track. A stop
was made nnd the terrified passengers
alighted. Later they proceeded to
Liallal, which they found lu almost
total rulos
All lines of railway to the north and
the line to Talca are greatly damaged.
In the city of Santiago a majority of
the victims of the disaster were resl-
dents of the poorer sections of the
city, where many small bouses were
thrown to the ground. Revernl deaths
from nervous excitement and heart
disease are reported. 5

years ago an earthquake In South
America produced similar effects here,
and at that time a heavy loss of life
ensued.
