DISASTER.
Caused by an Enormous Rock at a
Popular Tourist Resort.

Rome, Dec. ga terrible disaster
took place this afternoon at Amalfi, a
popular tourist resort on the Gulf of
Salerno. About 2 o'clock an enormous
rock, upon which stood the Cappuccini
hotel, slid bodily into the sea with a
deafening oar and without a moments
warming, carrying with it the hotel, the
old Capuchin monastery below, the Ho-
Many people were buried in the deb
ris, which crushed four vessels to the
bottom of the sea, destroying their
crews. The mass of earth which slip
ped was about 10000 cubic yards.
The population rushed into the
streets, fearing fresh calamities. Troops
have arrived upon the scene and have
begun rescue work. 1t is believed that
the loss of life is heavy, including a
number of monks and the occupants of
the hotel. AS yet it is impossible to
ascertain the exact number.
Amalfi is a small, but lively, town
of 1000 inhabitants, situated at the
entrance of a deep ~ravine, surrounded
by imposing mountains and rocks in
the most picturesque forms. The Ca
puchin monastery was founded in 1912
by Cardinal Pietero Capuano for the
Cisterians, but came into the possession
of the Capuchins in 1888, The building,
which stood in the hollow of a great
rock that rose abruptly from the set
to a height Of 230 feet, contained fine
cloisters.

ALWAYS Face the Engine.

From the Pittsburg Bulletin: In his
prime the late Mr.. John Cook, the
great tourist agent, was a man of iron
frame. But when years of railway
travelling, which averaged annually
some 10000 miles, produced certain
alarming symptoms, he made a dis
covery that may be worth giving to
the public. He found that the threat
ened trouble, something spinal, disap-
peared when he no longer sat with his
back to the engine. He always there
after faced it, and that the principle
is sound will be borne out by others
whom he advised to do the same. All
who are called upon to do much rail-
way travelling will be wise to sit fac
ing the horses"

of the former appears to be so great
that it is extremely doubtful whether
Gen. Methuen, even if heavily rein
forced. will attempt another attack.
Gen. Butler also is playing a wait

that the British in Natal are receiving
heavy achievements, while the Beers
have been compelled by operations on
the western frontier to weaken their
forces around Ladysmith.
Transport after transport is now
pouring men to the assistance of the
British forces. To this process there
would seem but one end-the Beers will
be compelled either to sustain a de-
feat or raise the siege of Ladysmith
and fall back toward Laing's Mex and
the Orange Free state.

HOUSE NAVAL BILL
Creating lhe Rauk of adm IA
of h. Navy Pa ed.

Washington Feb. 23-The naval
appropriation bill finally passed the house
this afternoon, after rour days OF acri-
monious debate, most Of which was spent
upon the question Of rehabnitaung the
naval academy at Annapolis in accord
nnce with the scheme luaugurated by the
appropriation of half mnion In the last
aavai bill and the propol.uOn 20 Increase

plate TO $5i5 per ton. existing law limit
ing it TO 500 Upon both propositions the
naval committee suffered signal defeats.
The amendments to build a great armor
plant was ruled out upon point Of or
der, but after a rancorous debate. in
which the price TO be paid for armor was
cut down from S5i5. the price which the
committee insisted upon being paid for
the new Krupp armor, TO s4l5 and a pro-
viso was also added precluding the gov
ernment from paying more than was paid
by any other foreign government for sim
iar armor. When the bin was reported
10 the house Mr.. Boutele attempted 10
secure a reversal OF the verdicts of the
committee of the wohle on the naval
academy and armor plate amendments,
but I'm both cases he was defeated. a mot
lon TO recommit the bin made by him
being voted down.
Another victory over the committee
was secured by the adoption OF a provis-
ion 10 the naval bin creating the rank OF
admiral OF the navy. Tn g was ace mp SD
ed by Mr.. Moody of Mass. who offered
copy of the senate bin creating this rank
as an amendment TO the naval bN. The
amendment was clearly subject 10 the
point Of order raised by Mr. Boutelie.
but the sentiment Of the house was ap-
parently unanimous that he withdrew
the point Of order and il was adopted
without dissenting vote Tho naval COM
mittee had amended the senate bin so az
10 also create the office Of vice admiral,
but Mr.. Moodys amendment was the or
iginal senate bill without the provision.
