PACIFIC EARTHQUAKE.
CHILEAN SEAS AFFECTED. FISH KILLED BY SHOCK. VANCOUVER, Dec. 30.
A message from Coquimbo states that heavy green seas reeking of an unnatural odour washed the shores of Northern Chile, as an aftermath of what is believed to have been a great earthquake far under the Pacific. Port officials have warned tho inhabitants against sea bathing, because examination revealed a considerable quantity of suspended animal matter. Apparently millions of fishes were killed by the s;hock. Although there is little wind, seas are running furiously and unusual heat prevails.
