ONE CITY ON COAST DISAPPEARS INTO SEA Survivors in Many Towns Are Suffering From Cold and Need of Food. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES TO SPEAK WITH BRYAN IN CHICAGO SEPT. 4TH 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. .Special Cable—Copyright Panama.

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.

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.
