A TERRIBLE DISASTER.
AN ITALIAN VILLAGE ALMOST
DESTROYED BY FLOOD.
Over One Hundred Lives Lost and
Their Houses Swept Away.

The Italian \ village Of san >perato has been
visited hy a terrible disaster. II IS estimated
that not less than lo1 yillagrr- have been
drowned.
\ food swept through the village with
sudden fury. and in q moment the streets
became rivers that carried everything before
them. Houses were lifted from their iouh-
dation, and carried whirling down 10y the
Hood. Their occupants did not have an OPP
pOrtunily 10 attempt 10 save themselves.
Many Of them were asleep when the tor
rent carried OIL their houses and were awak-
cnej only to find themselves struggling Ia
the water. Men, women aud children were
drowned, and not a single effort could be
made TO save them, so sudden was the disas-
ter. Half the houses in the village We're
swept away. The place i isolated by the
Hood, and access toit is very difficult.
Tclegraphic communication with the de-
vastatCd village has been partially restored,
but no further details Of the loss Of life and
property there have vet been learned. The
place has been cnclrrlrd hy the raging
waters, and no reliable news will be obtain
able for some time yet. II can be seen from
an eminencc overlooking san Spcrato that
half the houses have been ruined and that
the destruction caused by the Hoods is gen
