Earthquake toll reaches 2,
Rescue workers search for cries beneath rubble of (ml
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — As cries
for help increasingly turned to omi
nous silence, rescue teams battled
the clock yesterday to save nearly
2,000 trapped and missing victims of
Taiwan’s devastating earthquake.
More than 60 hours after the
earthquake struck, at least 2,103
people were known dead, 7,800 in
jured and 1,844 still unaccounted for
— the vast majority of whom were
believed buried under rubble and
landslides, the Disaster Manage
ment Center said.
The center said 2,268 people
had been rescued, many of them
extracted from some 6,000 com
pletely destroyed housing units
across the island.
Local newspapers said several
hundred thousand people were
homeless but this could not be offi
cially confirmed.
The Tliesday temblor had a pre
liminary magnitude of 7.6 — about
the same strength as the devastating
tremor that killed more than 15,000
people in Turkey last month.
Although many people were still
trapped in buildings, Wednesday’s
rescue efforts yielded only nine
who were safely brought out, offi
cials said.
And in some isolated, mountain
villages of central Taiwan, the worst-
hit region of the island, rescue efforts
have just begun.
Rescuers had to walk for hours
through rugged terrain Wednesday
to reach the village of Kuoshin,
where a massive flow of mud and
rock off three hillsides killed 60 vil
lagers and buried 40 others, the Chi
na Times reported.
Only 50 people, a third of the
population, are known to have sur
vived as the hills virtually col
lapsed and filled up a valley, the
newspaper said.
One mother, identified as Mrs.
Chang, said she and her two
daughters were carried along on
the slide for a half-mile "as if sit-

ting on a magic carpet."
The village is located in Nantou
County, where 830 people were
killed, while more than 970 died in
neighboring Taichung County.
These two hardest-hit counties
are to receive the bulk of $90 million
the government said it has allocated
for immediate disaster relief.
The Taiwanese government said
it will spend $32 million to build
2,000 temporary homes to shelter
homeless earthquake victims —
with an ambitious deadline of three

Peacekeepers face gun fire in East Timj
DILI, East Timor (AP) — Gunfire rattled across the
ravaged city of Dili yesterday, sending international
peacekeepers nervously chasing gunmen they be
lieved were hostile militiamen or undisciplined In
donesian soldiers.
No contact was made, and no one was hurt. But a
series of shooting incidents — the first since the multi
national force arrived Monday — and reports of militias
gathering in West Timor raised tensions and dissipated
the peacekeepers’ warm welcome.
Maj. Gen. Peter Cosgrove, commander of the peace
keeping force, warned that his men would shoot to kill
if they ran into more armed challenges to the foreigners’
authority.
A British officer said Indonesian soldiers on trucks
opened fire.
“They were firing to see what our response drills
are like,” Brig. David Richards, commander of the
British contingent, said. “They are probing our re
sponses. It is a test.”
“There are those who are trying to creati
sion in the minds of everyone that thingsare
now that control of Dili’s chaotic capital has

Witnesses reported several shooting in<
Richards indicated the bursts of automatic s
