ANOTHER SOUTH AMERICAN EARTHQUAKE.
By Editor
Just as we are putting the previous article in type the cable brings us news of another earthquake in the Chilean republic. This time it is in the extreme north, in the Department of Tacna, seemingly centering in the seaport town of Arica, half of which is reported destroyed. The population of the town is between 4,000 and 5,000. How far it has extended back into the interior, or to the northward, reports do not say. Many smaller surrounding towns were destroyed; and the people are fleeing from the shaken district in alarm. Iquique, 120 miles to the south felt the shock but slightly. The date was December 26. Men may laugh, skeptics may ridicule, yet more and more will we see of these destructive temblors. God in His mercy is warning men of the ultimate disasters.
