OUG
DUENGHED
People in Terror of Temblor
Jump From Balconies
and Are Killed.
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. The people are
bivouacking in the public squares.
"It Is announced officially that 56 per
sons have been killed and hundreds
wounded. Buildings In every block have
been damaged. The prisoners In the Jails
mutinied, but were overpowered by the
troops. Cerro Santa Luca, a precipitous
hill, in the center of the city, has partly
collapsed.
"The Archbishop's Palace, the Ministry
of the Interior, the Palace of Congress,
the buildings of the municipality, the Na
tional Liorary. the university and the
military barracks all were severely dam
aged, as also were several churches. The
cathedral, however, was not Injured. The
damage here Is estimated at $6,000,
000. The people have been forbidden to
enter the churches, the schools or the
I theaters.
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.
It is reported that a merchant has re
ceived a telegram saying that the town
of Amrlca has been destroyed. Previous
reports that buildings at Talca had fallen
have been confirmed. The City Hall and
the prison are in ruins. The sea at Val
paraiso remained calm during the catas
trophe. The only communication between here
and Valparaiso today is by means of
soldiers.
Italy Sends Her Sympathy.
ROME. Aug. 19. The Ministry of For
eign Affairs has telegraphed the Italian
Minister at Santiago, Chile, Instructing
him to express Italy's sympathy with
Chile for the earthquake disaster and
also requesting the Minister to send de
tailed Information concerning the catas
trophe. The Foreign Office Is in receipt of a
dispatch from the Consulate at Valpa
raiso saying that the destruction of prop
erty there was considerable and that the
Consular offices were razed.
Many Towns Reported Destroyed.

Petorca, Hierro Vlejo, Llalllai, Santa
Rosa de Los Andes, Nogales, Melon and

estimated at 1000. One hundred and
seventy persons are said to have lost
their lives In Llmache and 30 in Quillota.
Mexico May Give Funds.
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 19. Great sym
pathy is felt here for tlie people of Chile,
and popular sentiment probably will soon

national contribution. Arrangements have

ropean and American geologists to In
spect the volcanoes of Collma and Ne-vado.

MICHAEL DWYER IS DEAD
FAMOUS PLUNGER ON THE
AMERICAN TURF.
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. .

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
