Cartagena, Ppnfn, Aus. fl. A trrrl' ble marine disaster occurred Saturd? evening off Cape I'alosr. The Italian stesmsbip 8irio, from Genoa for Barcelona, Cadiz, Montevideo and Buenos Ay res, with about 800 persons on board, was wrecked off Hormias island. Three hundred emigrants, most of them Italians and Spaniards, were drowned. The captain of the steamer committed suicide. The bishop of Sao Tablo Brazil was also lost. The remainder of the passengers and the officers and crew got away in the ship's boats or were rescued by means of boats sent to them from the shore. Rescuers Lose Their Lives. Several fishermen who made attempts at rescue were drowned. Thosu rescued from the vessel are now at Cape I'alos In pitiable condition, being without food or clothing. The Kirio struck a rocky reef knoivn as Bajo Ilormisras, and sank coon after, stern first. Ilormigas island lies about two and a half miles to the eastward of Cape Palo. Before he committed suicid the captain declared the steamer had 045 passengers on board and that her crew numbered 127 men. The Sii io bad 570 passengers when leaving Genoa, but additional Spanish passengers were taken on board at Barcelona, where the vessel touched a few hours before the disaster. 5Z? Struck a Terror to Navigators. The steamer was threading a difficult passage through the Ilormigas group, where the Bajos Hormigas reef is a continual menace to navigation. The vessel began to settle rapidly immediately she had struck, and a terrible scene of confusion and panic ensued on board. The fishermen along the coast sought to render every assistance in their power, and sent out boats frich brought many survivors ashore. Harrowing Scenes at Cape Palos. The survivors have gone into camp on the main square of the town at Cape Palos. Here harrowing scenes are enacted as the stricken families anxiously seek beloved members among the rescued. A mother who last her three children went insane. The doctor of the Sirio gave up his wife and child as lost, but they were finally brought in by one of the rescuing boats, and the scene as this family was reunited was most affecting. Captain Takes the Blame. The buildings of a circus and a poor house ai'e being used as temporary quarters for the survivors. The captain of tho Firio, just before he killed himself, attributed the wreck to his own imprudence. LIKE FRIGHTENED BRUTES Frantic Men Spare Neither Sex, Nor Ag In Their Frenzy, The scene on board was one of the worst on record. The Italian emigrants, with knives in their hands, and without regard for the women or children, folight with the greatest brutality for the possession of life buoys and boats. Many were killed or wounded, including several members of the crew who were attacked by emigrants. Crowds rushed forward, pushing each other and fighting for places in the boats. Many fell and were trampled to death. Dozens of men and women threw themselves into the sea. In the midst of this panic the captain and officers of the Sirio endeavored in vain to restrain the people, restore a semblance of order and organize a system of life-saving. This was not accomplished, for the vessel suddenly either broke in half or glided off the rotks and foundered in deep water. Eye-witnesses give awful pictures of the brutal panic on board. For half an hour the emigrants were masters of the situation. They completely overcame the crew by sheer force of numbers, and this in spite of the efforts of the officers, who tried to save the women and children first. One report even states that a group of emigrants approached one of the ship's boats which already was full, and which was about to be launched, and dislodged the people, killing several with their knives. Just as they were about to occupy the boat themselves another body of armed emigrants came up and a fierce fight for the possession of the life-boat followed. A roll call taken on shore shows that SST persons from the Sirio are missing, but it is believed that a few were taken on board French and German steamers which continued their voyage after the Sirio sank. Among the survivors at Cape Palos are many mothers who weep and wring their hands for lost children, hile re are also

numbers of thildfen. who are to find their parents. The bishop of Sao Pablo. Br. was drowned while blessing the psf fccngers of the Firio".

STRIKE SO FAS A FAILURE

The fate c the general strike, which although J has affected close to 70.UX) men in S Petersburg has met with only sligli response In other sections of Hussls probably will be decided today wit an adverse expression of public o-.in ion. The lack of union among the lead ers of the proletariat organizations i playing against the success of th movement. The railroad men, upon whom tl: success of the entire movement dc ponds, are still working full time. Th leaders of the railroad organization are hesitating about issuing a call fo a tieup.

The government attaches much iro porta nee to the declaration of Poles ii tue Minsk congress against the princi pie of expropriation and in favor o acquiescing Jn the dissolution of th lower house and preparing for nev elections. This action is regarded ii administrative circles a& almost equivalent to the withdrawal of the proper tied classes of Poland from the Bus sian revolutionary movement. BRINGS DEATH TO THREE

PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE That Is the Gist of the Dun & Co. Report Too Much Doing in the Iron Ttade. New York, Aug. 4. II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Aside from the seasonable dullness in wholesale departments commercial activity is well maintained, and early preparations are made for autumn and winter business. August opened with no adverse developments in the trade situation, while crop progress during July was most favorable. Trade reports are especially gratifying from the northwest and other points that are dependent upon agricultural results, but all sections of the nation enjoy CTeat prosperity, and there is scarcely a discordant note in any of the dispatches. Scarcity of labor is the only serious complaint It is not often that managers of a leading industry are uneasv resrardinz

the future because of too much busi- t ness. yet that is becoming the situation ' at iron furnaces and steel mills. Orders on the books are far in excess of

similar comparisons in earlier years. Commercial failures this week in the United States are ISO, against 21C last week. 102 the preceding week, and 232 the corresponding week last year. Failures m Canada number lt, against 15 last week. 22 the preceding week and 2l- last year.

A Qner Cure, . "Riding on an elephant in Ceylon, behind a native prince on a bunting expedition," said a clergyman, "the conversation chanced to turn on Indigestion, to which I said I was subject. The prince at once pulled out a black leather button kind of thing, which he was wearing on a string round his neck under Lis clothes. " 'Wind's this';' said I. " 'A hyena's snout,' was the startling reply. " 'What forr 1 " 'To cure indigestion " TIow can it do llu's? " 'It is very simple. A hyena gets its living by digging up and crunching old bones. Now, it possesses in its snout this peculiar virtue that when its nose approaches anything hard, such as bones, these tough substances instantly grow soft and enable the animal to eat them with comfort and benefit. So you will find that if you keep this charm hanging round your neck the proximity of the hyena's nose, though dried up and lifeless, will soften your food, however indigestible, to such an extent that ytu will never again suffer from indigestion.

A DrUge 'That Surprises. That old expression about the sidewalk coming up and hitting a man in the face Jakes on an actual expression the first time one ( sees the bascule bridge over the Uovyauus eaua! in operation. On approaching the bridge at a moment when some barge or schooner is about to pass through it one sees the gates swing to, and then suddenly the roadway rises up and stares the wayfarers in the face, tracks and all, remaining there until the vessel has passed through, when ihe whole thoroughfare drops back into place again. The operation of raising the wings of the bridge is performed so quickly that the surprise is all the more sudden. New York Press. Ill I nlr Share. The Chinos always have understood the great art of making the punishment fit the crime. Man or joss, if he offends, gets exactly his desorts. Viceroy Shu in, who was anxious to see the end of the heavy rainfalls, was very angry with the guardian joss of Canton, vho remained deaf to ail prayers to bring about a little sunshine. A Weiyuen was dispatched to th? temple wrth orders tt uncover the roof over the joss" head and let him have his fair share of the rain.

A Year Lous I'rrsent. Three girls have bit on a novel remembrance for a mutual friehd who was miles away from her ain couutree." They made twelve envelopes varyln? In size and lale!ed each wlt'a the nnmd of the month. They then each took four envelopes and proceeded to put some appropriate little gifts Into them, choosing small fiat articles and also writing an affectionate little messago to the laved one. The January envelope contained a calendar, and In others wen riblnms. needlework, lxokmarks. handkerchiefs, etc. One Envelope, the June one, contained a sachet redolent of roses to make the whole array sweet. And when all the envelopes were ready they were labeled, "Net to te opened until the first day of " (whatever the mouth was), and then they were all put inside the largest envelope, which represented tho mouth on which the gift was received first. These iris had no end of fun planning and arranging the big parcel, &nd they enjoyed the monthly letter which told them the surprise and pleasure each new gift occasioned. Times' Want Ads.
