lty I*; fviili* Wire.
Ualwston, Texas, Aug. 20.—
Two towns—Los Andes, with a
population of 8,000, and Melippil
la, with 3,000 people—were swal
lowed by the earth in the series
of terrible earthquakes that de
vastated Chile, the Mexican cable
reports today.
So sudden and terrible were the
first shocks which rent the earth
that very few of the inhabitants
escaped.
Mincha, a small coast town,
dropped into the sea and entirely
disappeared.
Other towns, in addition to Val
paraiso and Santiago, known to
have suffered are Vina Del Mar,
three miles from Valparaiso,
with a population of 10,000;
Qtiirihue, 225 miles south with a
population of 2,500; Salto Lama-
ehe, 15 miles northwest, popula
tion 6,500; Quillota, 25 miles
northwest, population 10,000.
The towns of San Felipe, IIla
pel, Vnllenar, Petorea, Hierrovie-
jo and Llallia, were also de
stroyed.

today dlepatchea of some length came
through from Valparaiso. Chile. These
reports Indicate *hat the disaster to
the city by earthquake and conflagra
tion has bren far greater than was sup
posed. Tne extent of the catastrophe
grow* hourly.
('able reports today place the num
ber of dead In Valparaiso alone at
from 2,000 to 6.000. The dead In other
cities and towns of Chile will probably
reach 2,000.
The great Pacific sea port Is literally
a wasted ruin of demolished and fire-
swept steel and stone.
Estimates today place the property
loss Iti Valparaiso at $250,000,000 to
$300,000,000. Santiago suffered $10,-
000,000, while the losses In other cities
and towns Is estimated at $15,000,000
more.
FIRE FOLLOWINGTQUAKE
BURNS IT8ELF OUT.
By Frlrste Lenseil Wire.
Valparaiso de Chile, Aug. 20.—The
fire* which have raged since the earth
quake shock, practically wiping out the
business section of this city* have about
burned themselves out, the tremors are
becoming less frequent and less severe,
and the people are beginning <o take
stock of the effects of the frightful
disaster which, has not only destroyed
the greater part of Valparaiso, but has
devastated this whole section of Chile
from the Andes to the sea.
All the neighboring towns and vll-
tegss are In ruins and the railroads
have been destroyed.
That tne death list here will run
away up into the hundreds is certain.
The full extent of the loss of life will
never be known. It Is certain that
scores of bodies were utterly destroyed
In the nres which followed the shocks.
2,000 Are Thought Dead.
Valparaiso always has a big floating
population of sailors, beach-combers
un 'i waifs of all descriptions, aijd most
of them lived In the district where the
earthquake and Are did their work of
destruction most completely. Conser
vative estimates place the loss of life
at 2,ooo at this place.
u the stories from Los Andes, Vino
de l Mar, Nogales, Talcwana, Concep
tion, Petorea, San Flllpe and a score
of other towns along the coast and In
[he Interior are true, the death list will
be more than doubled.
The damage to property here Is
placed by some estimates as high as
l-a.000,000. Half that amount will be
nearer the mark in ail probability.
The authorities have declared martial
aw. and order Is gradually being
brought out of the chaos Into which
the city was thrown by the disaster,
jnp situation of the living Is generally
desperate. At least 100,000 people are
nomeiesH and penniless.
Cold Causes Suffering.
The seismic disturbance was accom
panied by, and has been followed by,
fain storms and cold. This Is winter

unering in the temporary colonies on
‘ne hills, especially among the women
and children.

The Georgian, has been appointed a

his return to this country from a tour
around the world*. Colonel Graves has
received an official request from Chair
man Norman E. Mack, of the commit

gether probable that he will do so with*
a day or two.

TALKS OF STRICKEN CITY

1* a considerable supply of wheat,

Steamers have been dispatched to the

**ntmu#d on Pace Two
I was nearly shaken out of a five-
story house In Valparaiso myself once,"
said Max Dobbs Monday morning. He
had Just returned to Atlanta from a
business trip, and he had a bunch of
newspapers with pictures and descrip
tion* of the wrecked city of the west
ern coast. Mr. Dobbs Is manager of
the Dobbs Lumber Company, of this
city.
"Prettiest city In the world," said Mr.
Dobbs, "unless It Is Santiago, 75 miles
inland, and on a plateau encircled by
the Andes. Four hundred thousand
people in Santiago and 175,000 In Y
paralso. Didn’t know there were cities
that big down there? Why, Buenos
Ayres has a million."
Mr. Dobbs spent the years between
1894 and 1903 in Valparaiso, where he
was with the big importing firm of
•W. R. Grace & Co., of New York. He
speaks Spanish like a Castilian, and
to hear him refer to the names of
streets and places down Valparaiso
way Is to Imagine yourself listening to
a Sti'tnleh cursing match. All those
Sp«’ names sound either like love-
ma isr or swenrlng.
it was in 1899 we had the big
’quake,” continued Mr. Dobbs. "It
started to shaking Friday afternoon
and shook until Tuesday ipornlng. The
shocks came regularly every fifteen
minutes during the first night. After
that they were slower. I had the hard
est Job of.my life trying to run across
the plasa and get my brother’s wife out
of her house. The ground heaved and
rolled* In front of me until It seemed
Impossible to run.
"We slept in the plaza for three
nights. Occasionally we’d run Into the
house between shocks, grab what we.
wanted and run out before the next
’quake. A lot of people stayed out on
a narrow peninsular for three weeks,
afraid to come back.
’’I believe some of the published re
ports are exaggerated, but I have no
means of knowing. I have not heard a
word from any of my friends in Val
paraiso.
Buildings of ’Dobs and Brick.
'The city Is built of adobe and an
other cheap material In the lower class
districts, while the homes of the bet
ter classes are of brick, plastered over
to make them look pretty, like the
houses In Paris. Some of the buildings
are as high as five stories, none over
that. They are built to stand ordinary
earthquakes.
"From what I can learn through the
papers the shock and damage seemi
have extended along the road tow
Santiago and partially destroyed Vina
del Mar, Qullpue, Ltmache, Qulllata and
LiallUtl. Those are swell residence
suburbs several miles out.
"Valparaiso occupies a narrow strip
between the great bay and the foot
hills of the mountains.' In one place It
Is only three streets wide. The bay Is
magnificent! It hus no bottom in some
places and ships of any draught can
ride at anchor. When n norther comes
It blows the waters of the bay clear
Into the streets. I have seen It neck
deep on the street near the bay. 1
havo seen thirteen ships wrecked In one
day by dragging their anchors under
the force of the wind and dashing
themselves against the sea wall.
ROBBING THE DEAD,
Valparaiso, Chile, August 20.—The
soldiers have shot a number of lad-
rones who w$re caught riffling the
dead and robbing buildings and their
bodies were suspended from telephone
poles at the street corners bearing large
placards reading:
"Por lad rone,’—a warning to looters.
The *sftuutlon Is now well In hand.
The authorities nre very Inergetlo and
suppress all lawlessness and are sup
plying food and camp comforts to the
homeless population which Is encamp
ed In the hill*.

The first .hock threw down a num

however, did not last long, for the
scene of destruction was soon lighted

Senor Ore* continues, came as a wel

New York, Aug. 20.—President
Roosevelt- sound* the key note and
delines the l*sues of the coming con-
grcflstonal campaign In a letter to Con
gressman James E. Walson, of Rush-
vllle, Ind., which Is made public today.
The letter In part Is as follow*:
"If there were only partisan Issues
Inyoived In this contest 1 should hesi
tate to say anything publicly In refer
ence thereto. But I do not feel that
such Is the case. On the contrary, 1
feel that all good citizens who have the
welfare of America at heart should ap
preciate the Immense amount that has
been accomplished by the present con
gress, organized as It Is, and the urgent
need of keeping this organization In
power.
He Praises Cannon.
With Mr. Cannon as speaker, the
bouse haa accomplished a literally phe
nomenal amount of work.-It has shown
a courage, good rfense, and patriotism
that It would be a real and serious
misfortune for the country to fall to
recognize. To change the leadership
and organization of the house at this
time means to bring confusion upon
those who have been successfully en
gaged in the steady working out of
a great and comprehensive scheme for
the betterment of our social, Industrial
ami civic conditions.
•Such n change would substantiate
_ substitute and nurpoxeleas confu
sion. a violent and hurtful oscillation
between the positions of the extreme
radical and the extreme reactionary,
for the present order they progress
along the lines of a carefully thought-
out policy.
