The number of people killed is not known.
NAPLES, July 29-Stsamers loaded with
injured people are constantly arriving here
from the scene of the calamity. The hos
pitfalls are already filed with sufferers.
1t is impossible to give the number of
dead at Casamicciola. In the latest &C
counts the number is estimated at 5000.
The hotel Piccola Sentinella sank into
the earth and buried many of its inmates,
Some of the inhabitants of the town es-
capped to sea at the first shock, and made
their way to Naples with news of the
calamity. The centre of the area of the
shock was the same as that two years ago,
but the radius wider. The shock was felt
at sea, and according to some accounts
even at Naples. A gentleman who was
staying at the hotel Piccola Sentinslla
and who escaped with his life, re-
ports that he enly had time to secure some
candles for use in the darkness of the
ruins, before the collapse of the building.
The terrified people amid the falling walls
shouted, "to the sea-" The ground
opened in many places, while in other
places there was no movement. The water
gushed out like springs, and several boil
ers In the bathing houses burst. The the
ater, wooden structure, was literally torn
open, allowing the audience to escape.
At Lacco there are many dead and
wounded. At Forio the churches we're ru-
ined but no one killed.
At Serrara fifteen we're killed
The troops recovered the body of
Fiorentini, prefect of Lasani. All steam
ers plying between Ischia and the main
land were Immediately chartered by the
government to bring the wounded from
the island. The excitement in Italy NAV
be imagined by the fact that 1000 visitors
were IN Ischia, including wealthy Roman
and Neaoplitan families.
A correspondent telegraphs this after
noon that Judging from reports already at
hand the calamity will exceed the Chias
earthquake in 1881. The shock came with
irresistible violence and was accompanied
by deafening noise. The
confusion in the theatre was
fearful. The lights were over
thrown and set fire to the building. A
dense cloud of dust filled the air. Cries of
pain and terror were heard on all sides.
On hearing the shouts of ''to the sea-
general rush was made toward the shore.
Every boat and floating thing was taken
by assault.
