Special Cable—Copyright.
Valparaiso, Aug. 2.—The city is calm
today and the people are optimistic.
Carefull estimates place the property
loss at less than $100,000,000 and while
the death list will be awful, the first
reports, it is now believed, were
or less exaggerated, and the best lm>
presslon now is that the number of
dead will be near 1,000 in Valparaiso
and perhaps as many more at other
points In the provinces which were af
fected by the shock.
The authorities are putting all the
able-bodied men to work clearing away
the wreckage and some progress Is be
ing made. Martial law still Is rigidly
enforced and short shrift Is given to
the crooks found guilty of looting.
There are still 60,000 people depend
ent upon the distribution of food and
while there are rations for them for
several days yet, the authorities will
be glad when new supplies begin to
come In.
President-elect Montt and retiring
President Fresco have been powerful
influences In getting the situation In
hand. News which comes in from the
surrounding country Indicates that the
heaviest damage was done in the pro
vinces of Valparaiso and Aconcagua.
Business houses are beginning to
open up again and plans are'being dis
cussed for the rebuilding of the city.

Reliable advices come from Savan
nah Wednesday that Colonel Walter
W. Shepherd, a resident of Liberty
county, but whose law office Is In Sa
vannah, Is running a phenomenal race
fur congress from the First district
for the long term to succeed the late
Rufus E. Lester.
Some time ago Savannah had tacitly
iWided to be "hands off" In the race,
.ind It was generally understood that
J. A. Brannen, a prominent attorney
of Statesboro, would be given the long
term.
Colonel Shepherd did not any any
thing, but quietly disappeared from
his accustomed haunts, and began a
still hunt. He worked quietly but ef
fectively. It seems, through the ten
counties of the First district.
According to the advices coming to
Atlanta Wednesday, the Liberty county
man Is polling a remarkable vote, with
splendid chances of receiving the nom
ination for the long term. Colonel
Shepherd was one term In the state
senate from that district, and he also
served for some years as Colonel Les
ter's private secretary. He Is about 35
> ears of age, and said to be an aggres
sive, capable young men.
' ’olonel William Clifton, "the liberty-
loving citizen front McIntosh," seems
pretty sure of receiving the nomina
tion for the unexpired term, ending on
March 4, 1907.
