The quake also extended to Valparaiso and Curicao where terrorized residents rushed into the streets and public squares for safety. The Cathedral tower was badly damaged and caused another panic when it appeared to be falling on the large crowd which had gathered in front of the church to pray for safety. Several bricks and loose plaster fell on the crowd, but the tower remained erect on top of the church.
Scores of windows were broken in Santiago and communications were disrupted but no serious casualties were reported. The telegraph company reported that the epicenter of the earthquake was apparently between Copihue and Los Angles, north of Temuco.—United Press.
