FIRE BROUGHT RUIN THE NUMBER KILLED PRO- BABLY TWO THOUSAND. Shook All Railroads Destroyed--Food Scarce -- Conditions Worse Than in San Francisco--Coast Country Twisted and Torn. Valparaiso, Chili, Aug. 20.---Last Thursday night this city was prac- tically destroyed by an earthquake, which began at 7:51, and continued throughout the night. Eighty-two dis tinct shocks were felt during the night, and a fire, which started im- mediately after the first and greatest shock, completed. the ruin, Nearly all the buildings in the city were either destroyed or severely dam aged, and it is estimated the loss will reach $25,000,000, It is impossible to mate of the number make an esti of people killed, but the casualties, probubly, will reach 2,000, All the railroads were destroyed and the entire population is sleeping in the parks, streets and hills at the outskirts of the city, The unfor tunates are suffering greatly at night, when a cold wind prevails. Food is scarce, meat being impossible to ob tain, and milk is selling at $2 a litre, A sea captain who arrived here from San Francisco, says the conditions are worse than prevailed after the dis- aster in that city. 'The important towns of Quillota, Vina Del Mar, Quirihue, Salto, Limache, and all the village in the vicinity are known have been destroyed and many lost. Los Andes, with a population of 7, 000, is in ruins, and not a structure remains. Numerous other towns and settlements, some distante from Val- paraiso, are known to have suffered terribly, but detailed reports may not be received for many days. The coast country from the Pacific to the Andes mountains has been twisted and torn by the earthguake, not a city escaped serious dam- age. The fires at Suntingo were got under control, yeaterday, 'but had it not been for the heavy rain the flames would have been destroyed the capital for the work of the fire-fighters was ineflicient, The dead and injured at Santiago are given as between 500 and 2,000, with possibly less than 500 killed. A majority of the victims were residents of the poorer sections, where many small houses were thrown to the gwound, It has not been possible to re-es- tablish communication with Santiago by wire, although the cities are only forty-eight miles apart. : In many places the line for has disappeared completely, and the whole appearance of the country changed. The Mexican Cable company lost one cable, and the coast line for two Hundred miles has been destroyed. This cable lay close to the shore, and connectexl Antofogasta Senora, Cal- dera, and thence by land telegraph to lquique. Only one slight tremor was felt in Valparaiso, yesterday, and or- der is being restored, while suffering is increasing. to lives miles A Terrible Tale. Buenos Ayres, Aug. 20.--Refugees who are arriving at Santiago, from Valparaiso, on horseback, say = the deaths by the earthquake and fires number 10,000, and that there are 64,- 000 refugees in the mountains. A reign of terror prevails. and there are hor- rifying scenes in all parts of the city. 'Lhe squares are full of people who have been driven 'from their homes. Thousands are praying in the streets and many have gone mad. The only name yet given of any of the dead is that of Senator Frederic Varela,' a prominent leader of the radical party, Only one small section of thé port works were saved, The buildings of the Chilian and Tarcanca Bank and the newspaper, Kl Tercrio, are known to have been destroyed. The report seems to be confirmed also that the custom house has been destroyed. The soldiers have taken charge of the gituntion have been ordered to shoot all looters, Prisoners in the jail who attempt to escape will be killed. Public relief subserintions were op- ened in Buenos Ayres yesterday. The jockey club gave 0,000 peso. "The Ar- gentine government will puss an ap- propriation for the relief of the suf- ferers. Nearly Four Hundred Shocks Felt London, Aug. 20.-In a dispatch from Valparaiso without a date the correspondent of the Dailv Mail says ; "Sixty per cent. of this city has been completely destroyed.

Honolulu, Aug. 20 Wireless reports from the islands of Hawaii, Mani and Halo réport a tidal wave, the general ONTARIO, MONDAY, height of avhich was five feet. In the enclosed Bay of Maalaen, on the ls land of Maui, its height was estimat- ed at twelve feet, where it carried away a wharf and its superstructure. The phenomenpn wag manifested by an unprecedent lly heavy suri. The tid dl wave is attributed to the earth quake at Valparaiso. Several years, ago, an earthquake in South Ameri ca produced the same result here, Quake Paragraphs. Several persons became so panic stricken during the trembling of the earth that they threw themselves from the baleowies of their homes and were killed. Several' return shocks continue the state of alarm: The astronomical ob servatory has given out' a statement that there will not be a repetition of severe shocks, The scenes at the hospitals and pri sons during the excitement were tressing in the extreme, The prisoners tried to eseape from the Yails in the hope that they might reach a place of safety and guards were obliged to fire into the air in order to intimi date anfl quiet their panic-stricken charges. In Santiago much damage was done, public buildings, particularly churches, were dismantled. The buildings of congress, 'the municipal buildings, the normal school, the courts, the Peru« vian legation, the residence of Presi dent Riesco, central market, the pre fecture of police and the National Telegraph office wére damaged.

Paris, Aug. 20.--A deep well from which drinking water was drawn ploded yesterday at Villers Patras, near Dijon, severely injuring a dozen people.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 20.--Peasants of the villages in the Astrakhan pro- vince, bordering on the Caspian Sea, have adopted a plan of their own for obtaining the land which is at pre sent the desire of all agricultural classes throughout the empire. With- out waiting for the government to act, they have accordingly seized the land, driven out the proprietors and are prepared to defend their new pos sessions against the authorities. Troops are now being dispatched to the region to quell the uprising and serious fighting will probably result. After waiting until they were tired for the government to do something in their behalf, the peasants resolved to act for themselves, A conference of peasants representing thousands liy- in~ in the villages of the province was hold and it was then decided to ignore the government and proceed at once to seize the land and divide it, The plan was at once put into exe cution. The forests were cut at many points and the land distributed to the peasants. Landlords were driven from their homes and the cattle were seiz- ed. The peasants are now entrenching themselves in various strongholds pre- pared to deéfénd themselves against the troops which have been dispatched agamst them. ' FIRED BULLET INTO HEAD.

Hudson, while suffering, ibis be. a mental disorder, on Sa- turday night, sent a bullet crashing through his brain, producing a mor tal wountl.
