Rock Slide Causes Death.

Rome. Dec 23.-A terrible disaster
took place this afternoon at Amalii,
the populous tourist resort on the Gulf
of Calerno. About . o'clock an enor
nous rock, upon which stood the Capu-
cini hotel. slid bodily into the sea with
dcafening roar and without n mo-
ment's warning. carrying with 1t the
hotel, the old Capuchian monastery be
low. the Hotel Santa Celerina and sev-
eral villas.
Many people We're buried in the de-
bris, which crushed four vessels 10
the bottom Of the sea, destroying their
crews. The mass of earth which
slipped was about 10000 cubic yards.
The population Is in n state Of ter
ror, 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 number of monks
and the occupants of the hotel, AS yet
It Is impossible to ascertain the exact
number.

The British steamship Ariosto. Cap
tain Baines, bound for Galveston to

this morning six miles south of Hat
teras, North Carolina, and twenty-one
of the crew We're drowned Captain
Baines and eight of the crew were
saved by the heroic efforts of the Ocra-
coke life saving crew, under Captain
James Howard.
Those who lost their lives attempted
TO reach the shore in small boat.
which was swamped shortly after it
put off from the ship. Captain Baines
and eight men remained aboard and
were landed by the life savers in the

More Details of Amnin Disaster.

Rome, Dec. 26.-Among those killed
in the Amalti disaster were Miss Weir,
II daughter of james Galloway Weir,
member of the British House of Com
mons for Ross and Cromarty, and her
governess. "hcy had escaped, but re.
turning for their valuables, were killed
together
1t now develops that some earth
tremors and other prcmonltlons en-
abled many people TO get away before
the catastrophe occurred. The mayor
of Amalt declares his belief that the
landslide was due to the fact that II
huge ilssurc, left after II slmilar slip
ten years ago, had been carelessly
filled with fnggots and pieces of tim
Der This had always beeu considered
Il source of danger.
The Hotel Santa Catcrno was com
pletely buried ana other buildings are
in ruins.
The peasants, fearing further land.
sAdes, refuse to return to their homes.
