EARTHQUAKES IN CALIFORNIA
Many Towns on the Coast severely
Shaken by Heavy Shock.

Shaken by Heavy Shock.
Christmas morning at 4:25 o'clock a Sc
we're earthquake visited Southern Cali
fornia and caused extensive disaster. At
San Jacinto, a town in Riverside County,
the shock seemed to have had its center.
1t lasted twelve seconds only, but the
severity was great. At the Baboda In
dian reservation six squaws were killed
by falling walls, two fatally and many
seriously injured. The main shock was
preceded by a loud, roaring sound and
awakening many just in time to escape
from the doomed buildings. The business
street was such a wreck tons of debris
had to be removed before buildings could
be entered. Over $4,000 damage is es-
timated at San Jacinto and at Hcmit,
q small town near by. At the latter
place the large tourist hotel was badly
damaged and also the hospital at San
Jacinto. The rear wall of the Johnston
block in Hemit fell. Fortunately no per-
son was injured Mt either place so far as
is known.
Other places where the shock was Sc
vercly felt were Santa Ana, Anheim, San
Bernardina and Riverside. However, no
heavy damage is reported from any of
those places. In Santa Ana guests of
hotels were almost rolled from their beds,
clocks were stopped and brick walls of
several buildings were badly cracked.
People reused from their beds, rushed to
the streets, some in their night clothing,
and remained up until daylight. The
shock was terrific at Needles, but no Sc
rious damage was reported. At Ventura
houses were damaged md the shock was
followed by a high wind aud heavy sen.
The heaviest earthquake ever known
occurred at Anahcim. 1t lasted ten sec
onds and was violent from the begin
ming. Lodging houses were emptied and
the streets were filled with shivering
people. A number of buildings were
cracked, but no serious damage was done.
The county hospital at Bowers was dam
aged by the earthquake. The shock al
most shook Hemit to pieces. There are
but two chimncys left in town. At Red
lands the shock lasted one minute and
q quarter.

PERlsH'lN A STORM.
Twenty-one English Sailors Lose The
LiveN.

11ANC0s
In a terrific storm the British steam
ship Ariosto was wrecked on Diamond
shoals, off Cape Hatteras, and twenty
one Of the crew were drowned. Had
they remained on the ship until the life
savers succeeded in making a connection
from the shore to the wreck all would
men remained on the boat till q breeches
buoy was rugged up and they were saved.
The twenty.one men who chose to risk
their fate in the ships lifeboat were
drowned between the vessel and the
shore.
The Ariosto, 2,265 tons net register,
sailed from Galveston bound for Ham
burg via Norfolk, where she meant to
touch for coal. Dense fog has prevailed
off this coast for several days, and, al
though it lifted the night before, it is
believed that the ship had previously lost
her bearings and got too close inshore.
Soon after the Ariosto struck the waves
began to roll owe her, aud twenty-one
men Of her crew launched three Of her
boats and attempted to come ashore.
Within plain sight of the watchers, in

their lives. One after another the three
boats %foundered in the heavy seas. Not
one succeeded in reaching the shore, and
not n of the occupants escaped with
his life. Captain Baines and eight men,
the remainder Of the thirty aboard the
vessel, elected to remain aboard the ship
after she struck, and this saved their
lives.
Strenuous efforts were made by the
crews of the Hatteras and Ocracoke life
saving stations to save the imperilcd men
N the Ariosto. After several Intellectual
efforts to land a line aboard the doomed
ship by firing it from the gun ashore, it
was accomplished. "A line which reached
the stranded steamer was by those
aboard made fast to the mast, and the
breeches buoy of the Ocracoke stations
crew was sent out to the ship by Captain
Howard. Soon above the boiling seas a
man in the buoy slid ashore on the life
line, while wild cheers arose from those
on ship and shore. Before nightfall the
last man was ashore.

FORTY KNOWN 10 Be DEAp.
List of Victims of Braznell Mine E
nlOsinn Ia Ver,. Ia.uo

List of Victims of Brazncl1 Mine Ex-
plosion Is Very Large.
The horror of the Braznell mine ex-
plosion near Brownsville, Pa, is worse
than first estimated. Tuesday morning
the number of dead was known to be
over forty.
The explosion was terrific, and was
heard plainly at Brownsville, four miles
distant. The main shaft was totally
wrecked and rendered helpless. About
four cages of men had gone down to
work. Mr.. Thomas, the cageman, on
his fourth trip, went to the bottom with
fourteen men. and gave the signal for
the cage to rise, when the explosion oc-
Cured. The cage was blown with ter
rife force to the top of the shaft, and
fell back to the bottom, completely block
ing across the mine. Timbers were hurl-
ed hundreds of feet; the lower ring of
brick work in one shaft was completely
wrecked, and had to be tunncled to get
into the mine ut all.
The explosion was caused by a miners
naked light coming into contact with gas
in a room where no gas was supposed to
exist. The tipple was wrecked and the
buildings over the fan and the engine
were shattered to splinters. The iron
work at the bottom of the shaft was
twisted in all imaginable shapes, telling
plainly of the awful force of the explo-
sion. Immediately following the roar of
the underground inferno black damp
poured out of the pit mouth, inviting
suffocation and death to those who would
gladly have entered and gone to the res
cue. A temporary cage was rugged up
at the air shaft and rescuers went down.
A CHASTITY sight met their gaze. Mangled
bodies were found on all SIDES. The mine
looked like u total wreck. The rescuers
pushed on and soon fourteen men were
taken out. Some Of these were dying,
and nearly all were horribly mangled.
Fire broke out in the mines, and if any
of the. m.l still there were alive there
was every Indication that they would be
suffocated by smoke and their bodies
burned.

EX-QUEEN
HERE SOON
liliuokaIani To Arrive
on Australia.
SHE is IN POOR HEALTH
Has Been in San Francisco Since
May Nineteenth and Longs
for Hawaii.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2O.-Liliuo-
kalani, the ex-Queen of Hawaii, arriv-
ed here last evening from Washington,
d. c., where she has been for the last
eighteen months keeping an eye on her
political interests and undergoing
treatment for malady that threatens
to terminate her life before many years
have elapsed. Liliuokalani is on her
way back to the tropic isles that were
once her kingdom, there to pass the
remainder of her days among her own
people. While she does not say posi-
lively that she will never again leave
her island home to visit America, 1t is
regarded as highly improbable that she
will again venture across the Pacific
in view of her advancing years and
shattered health. Those who are ac-
quainted with her plans and are not
prevented by a sense of delicacy from
announcing the fact say the former
Queen is going back to her Hawaiian
home to die. Liliuokalani herself sim
ply says she is going back to Hawaii
TO live.
Lllluokalhnl came from washington
accompanied by her secretary, Joseph
Heleluhe, the latter's daughter, Miss
Myra Heleluhe, and DR.. Charles Hamil-
ton English OF Washington, the ex-
Queens attending physician. The
quartet were driven directly to the Cal
ifornia Hotel upon their arrival at the
ferry, and the feeble but faithful sec
fetary, who has attended the dusky
dtpnttarV IN all af her excursions to
America and prolonged visits to Wash
ington. inscribed their names on the
hotel register. Liliuokalani was assign
