MANY BUILDINGS RUINED Railroads Have Hieen Almost Totally Disabled and Commerce at the Tresent Is Nearly at a Standstill. SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Aug. 19. It Is known that eight lives were lost in this city by the earthquake, but -It is believed that many persons were killed by the falling buildings, and that their bodies will be discovered later. Sev eral persons became so panic-stricken Qnrlng the tremblings of the earth that they threw themselves from the balconies of their homes and were killed. The fires which followed the earthquake in this city were promptly extinguished, but while they lasted they added greatly to the terror of the people. As all telegraph and telephone lines were more or less damaged, the exact situation throughout the country Is not yet known, but advices have been re ceived to the effect that the towns of Virlage and Casa Blanca were entirely destroyed and that San Felipe, Ranca gue, Milpilla and Llalllai were severely damaged. At Concepcion the shocks were se vere and a number, of persons were killed or Injured. The towns of Rengo, San Fernando, Quillotta and San An tonio, and many villages are in ruins. Commerce is at a Standstill. All railway service In the central zone is either interrupted entirely or greatly delayed and commerce is prac tically at a standstill. In the City Of Santiago much damage was done. Many public buildings, par ticularly churches, were dismantled. The buildings of Congress, the munic ipal buildings, the Normal school, the courts, the Peruvian Legation, the res idence of President Relsco. the Central Market, the prefecture of police and the national telegraph office, all were se riously damaged. The lines of the electric tramway system and electric light wires were short circuited, Interrupting street-car traffic and plunging the city into dark ness. The scenes at the hospitals and pris ons during the excitement were dis tressing in the extreme. The prisoners tried to escape from the Jails in the hope that they might reach a place of safety and troops were obliged to fire Into the air In order to intimidate and quiet their panic-stricken charges. Minor Shocks Are Recurrent. There have been several . return shocks of slight intensity. These shocks have served to continue the state of public alarm and a state of panic still prevails. The astronomical observatory, however, has given out a statement to the effect that it does not appear possible that there will be a repetition of the severe shocks. Last night many persons slept In the tramway cars, In carriages and In the open air In the public squares and streets. The government has taken steps to restore order. An inspection of all houses left standing has been ordered and directions have been issued for the distribution of relief supplies to those In need. A troop of cavalry has been sent to re-establish communica tion with Valparaiso. The alarming news first received by the government from Valparaiso as to the condition in that city has not been confirmed, but It Is known that nu merous buildings in the vicinity of the port have been destroyed and that there have been severe fires in the Al mendral quarter. The Mayor of Valparaiso sent word that he did not know the number of killed or injured, but he believed that they were numerous. Firemen left Santiago yeBterday for Valparaiso to aid In extinguishing the ' tire there. The Custom-House in Val paraiso is reported to be burning. Several travelers who have Just ar rived here from Valparaiso say that reports of the situation In that city are exaggerated. An employe of the telegraph service sent word from Salto, near Valparaiso, confirming the news of the serious fires in the Almen dral quarter. This employe also sent news that the Spanish-Italian Bank was destroyed by the earthquake. Nearly Shaken Off the Track. t A travsler who came here by express train tells that when the train was near Las Vegas, about half way be tween Valparaiso and Santiago the cars were shaken violently and the engine nearly left the track. A stop was made and the terrified passengers alighted. Later they prooeeded to Llalllai, which they found in almost total ruins. All lines of railway to the north and the line to Tacla are greatly damaged. In the City of Santiago a majority of the victims of the disaster were resi dents of the poorer sections of the city, where many small houses were thrown to the ground. Several deaths from nervous excitement and heart disease are reported. RETORTS ARE SOT CLEAR Many Telegrams Indicate Ixiss Not So Great as First Announced. LONDON, Aug. 20. Most of the private Jtspatches received in London concerning the disaster in Chile give the Impression :ha the earthquake was less serious than it first reported. They are. however, all rery brief and mostly of a personal lature. The Chilean Legation has received no jfflclal advices, but over a score of tele trams from residents of Valparaiso and Santiago have reached the legation :hrough friends of officials living in Lon lon. All these are cheerful In tone and indicate that the loss of life was not is serious as the initial reports Indicated. The same may be said of dispatches received by business houses, though in lome cases they give serious reports. Searly all the dispatches" say that the justness ' staffs of foreign firms are safe ind that the company's buildings are not nuch damaged. This Is partly explained ii a dispatch to Foelsch & Co., of Ham urg. which lays'. 'Earthquakes and fire were confined - practically to Valparaiso. Damage to all European houses will prove slight, as the ropertles for the most part are located n the harbor quarter." The Valparaiso Electric Tramways Com any has reported to Berlin that its water tower plant, rolling stock and tracks are lot damaged, but that the repair shops, eserve station, trolley wires and street lghtlng .system are more or less sert tuely damaged. The Nord Deutsche Bank, of Hamburg, has received the following dispatch from Valparaiso: "All well. Inform families. Bank build ings in' fair order. Many houses destroyed by fire." Telegrams received by steamship com panies show that the shipping in Chilean waters is safe. ' According to a dispatch sent out by a news agency here, the British Government has received a message from the Couaul General at Valparaiso fully confirming the reports of great loss to life and property. Sir John Norman Lockyer. director of the Solar Physics Observatory, Kensing ton, in an interview said It was a re markable fact that the earthquakes at San Francisco and Valparaiso synchron ized with a sun spot maximum, and that In 1834, when there were many serious earthquakes, the same conditions ob tained. It was not yet fully known whether there were laws controlling the recurrence of earthquakes. Sir Joseph continued. It was a point certainly worthy of investigation, but such investi gation would Involve expense. The chief work In this direction, he added, was now being carried on by Germans. FOOD PLENTY AT VALPARAISO Flour, Wheat and Rice In Store to Avert Any Famine. VALPARAISO, Aug. 19. (Via Galves ton.) Proportionately, the ' catastrophe here Is considered greater than that which struck San Francisco. Valparaiso and neighboring towns are wrecked and partially burned, and In all the towns of the Aconcagua Valley conditions are sim ilar, in the southern portion of Chile severe shocks were felt at Talcahuano. Concepcion. Talca and Zone, but there the disaster was not appalling. As yet no authentic news has been received from Santiago, although a courier is shortly expected. Quakes occur from time to time, but are steadily diminishing in force. As to the dead and wounded, an accurate estimate Is as yet impossible, but It is believed that thl former wui exceed 1000 In this and surrounding towns. The authorities here have the situation well in hand and have assumed distribution of food. Couriers have been dispatched both north and south for troops. Provisions and thousands of tons of flour, wheat and rice are held In stores here and afloat. It Is not believed a food famine will occur. Martial law has ruled In Valparaiso since the first day of the shocks and the entire population Is camping in the open. The only wire working Is the subterra nean and sea cable of the Central-South American Company, which marvelously escaped undamaged.. VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE KILLED Santiago Escapes Witty Great De struction of Property. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. Cable advices were received at the Chilean Legation today, dated at Santiago, Chile, August 18, stating that the earthquake in the city was very severe, but that there were few casualties. Up to the time of filing the dispatch, which the Charge d' Affaires believes was ' Saturday evening, no news had been received in Santiago from Val paraiso on account of the Interruption to the railroad and the telegraph lines. A dispatch to the State Department from the Consul a't Iquique reports that Valparaiso Is in ruins from an earthquake and Is on fire. It Is stated that at the time of the filing of the dispatch there was no communication with Santiago and no further details were obtainable. The date of this dispatch is in doubt. Mr. Buchanan, the head of the Amer ican delegation to the Pan-American Con gress at Rio, cabled the State Depart ment today etating that no information had been received at Rio Janeiro regard ing the earthquake, and asked for news. Secretary Adee cabled the information contained in the dispatches from Minister Hicks at Santiago. TROOPS QUELL PRISONERS. Terrified Inmates of -Santiago Jail Attempt to Break Out. LONDON," Aug. 20. In a dispatch from Santiago de Chile, dated August 19, the correspondent of the Tribune says: "Consternation reigns here. All busl nes has been suspended.

MASS HELD IN THE OPEN AIR Santiago Churches Too Badly Dam aged to Be Used. SANTIAGO DE CHILE. Aug. 19. One of the Valparaiso refugees declares that Santiago has suffered nothing In com parison with the other towns he tra 'ersed on his way. Rail, telegraph and telephone communication with Valpa raiso is still Interrupted. After a panic had subsided here mass was celebrated in the open air. It being impossible to use the churches.

Disastrous Campaign In England Ruined Him, and Ho Suffered Stroke of Paralysis. NEW YORK, Aug. 19. Michael Dwyer, one of the best-known men on the American turf, died at his little cot tage in Brooklyn, opposite the Graves end racetrack, of the Brooklyn Jockey Club, of which Philip J. Dwyer, a broth er of the dead horseman, is president. Michael Dwyer suffered a stroke of paralysis some years ago after he had returned from a disastrous racing cam paign in England, and has since that time been practically helpless. He was constantly attended by two nurses and helped about from place to place. Al though ho had long ceased to hold an Interest in any racing stable or asso ciation he was often seen at the Metro politan track on the days when the big events were run. Dwyer was one of the most famous plungers the turf has ever known. Ha was a large operator and amassed a greater fortune it Is said than even "Pittsburg Phil" Smith, the most noted of the modern racetrack-bettors. Smith died wealthy, while Dwyer was prac tically penniless. It Is related of Dwyer on an occa sion at Sheep'shead Bay, when James McLaughlin, now a well-known owner and trainer, was jockey for the Dwyer Bros., the plunger put up 160,000 to win J10.000 on the famous old racer Joe Cotton. The distance was seven furlongs and a hundred yards from tho wire It seemed that Joe Cotton was beaten, but McLaughlin rode a magnifi cent finish and landed his employer's money by a short head. It was because of his plunging pro clivities that Michael Dwyer parted oompany with his brother Philip. It seemed from that moment that his luck went against him. He formed a racing partnership with Richard Croker a few years later and took a stable t England. The experiment was costly and Dwyer came home a poor man. The last horse of note to win a race for him was Ben Brush, who captured the Kentucky Derby. Ben Brush was afterward purchased by James R. Keene and is now at his Castleton stud In Kentucky. Michael and Philip J. Dwyer began their careers as butchers. They took up trotting as a pastime and raced horses at the old Parkvllle track In Brooklyn. From this they went Into racing and with Jimmy McLaughlin as their Jockey amassed a fortune, winning many times some of the oldest and richest of the stakes on the Eastern turf. They owned Luke Blackburn, George Kinney, Richmond, Miss Wood ford, Inspector B., and other horses equally well known. Philip Dwyer be came president of the Brooklyn Jockey Club, which conducts the Gravesend track and the Queen's County Jockey Club, whoso racing plant Is at Aqueduct. LEWIS MORRISON, THE ACTOR Succumbs After an Operation Per formed for Stomach Trouble. NEW YORK, Aug. 19. Lewis Morrison, an actor, whose work as Mephlsto In "Faust" gained him fame, died suddenly of shock Saturday in St. Joseph Hospital, Yonkers, after undergoing an operation for a disease of the stomach. He was 61 years old. He was under engagement to start for San Francisco Friday, but thought he would delay a few days. Mr. Morrison resided each Summer with his daughter, Miss Isabella Mor rison, at Neperhan Heights. She, with his other daughter, Mabel, wife of Richard Bennett, Mr. Bennett and Mr. Morrison's wife, Florence Roberts, were at his bedside when the end came. Mr. Morrison was born of English par entage at Kingston, Jamaica, In 1845. He came to this country at an early age and enlisted In the Union Army In the Civil War. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant, and on his honorable discharge at the close of the war he received the rank of Captain for dis tinguished service. He then entered the theatrical profession as an actor In the old Varieties Theater, New Orleans, making his first appearance with Law rence Barrett In 186S. He afterward was associated with Edwin Booth, Edwin Forrest, Tomaso Salvlna, Adelaide Neilson, Charlotte CuBhman. Rose Coghlan and Agnes Booth. He also was associated for nine years as leading man with the old Walnut-street stock company In Phila delphia. He played next with the old California Theater stock company in San Francisco, and then took up Faust with himself as Mephlsto, and for fully 20 years starred this country and Canada. . Dr. W. R. Hantuyl. LEAVENWORTH. Kan., Aug. 19. Dr. W. R- Hantuyl, who served in the Philip pines as a surgeon in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War, died of heart disease at his homehere today, aged 42 ye"ars. . BRITISH MARKSMEN COMING Crack Team of Thirteenth Rifles Will Compete at Seagirt. LONDON, Aug. 19. The team of the Thirteenth Rifles, the Queen's Westmin sters, leaves for the United States on September 15 next. The team will con sist of 25 picked men. Captain M. M. Shattock will command it, .and the hon orary Colonel of the resrlment. Colonel Sir C. E. Howard Vincent. K. C. B., K. C. M. G.. M. P., A. D. C. to the King, will accompany It with his charming wife, Lady Howard Vincent The team will sail from London on the steamship Mlnne tonka. of the Atlantic Transport Line. On arrival the team will go Into camp at Seagirt, N. J., and will practice hard for the shoot. The trip Is largely one toward the proposed annual International rifle match between the United States and England. it will be remembered that last year a team from the Seventh Regiment, Na tional Guard of the State of New York, under command of Colonel Appleton, vis ited England as the guests of the West minster Rifles, one of the swell volunteer regiments of London. A rifle match at Blsley was one of the features of the New Yorkers' stay. Sir Howard Vincent then donated an International trophy to be shot for by tho two regiments alter nately In each other's countries. So the team from London will now be the guests in the United States of New York's "Society soldiers." The team will pay all its own traveling and hotel expenses and for this purpose a fund has been raised in the regiment and among its friends. This fund is now J3000, and before September may have reached J5000. The team that is going over io the same team with three excep tions which won the trophy last year from the New Yorkers. Colonel G. H. Trollope, V. C, now commanding the regiment, may also accompany the team. After the match at Seagirt the Londoners will go to New York City and be quar tered at a hotel. Then they will be shown the sights of Gotham by the Sev enth and be teted and banquetted. Some of the members of the team will also take some quick trips through the coun try. The festivities offered by the Seventh make up a very full programme and were to begin on the arrival of the English Volunteers. But Colonel Trollope deems It the best policy to attend first to busi ness and so will try to win the match before turning the team loose on New York.

Man's Castle In the Air. Atchison Globe. There Is this much to be said about the faithfulness of man: Every time he builds a castle In the air he puts a different woman in it.
