EXCITEMENT 1T GENOA.
Home of Most of the italian Passen'
GERS and Crew.

Genoa. Italy, Aug. 6.-The loss of the
Italian steamer SlriO causes intense ex-
element among the relatives and
friends of the Italian passengers and
crew, most of whom lived here or in
this vicinity The offices of the captain
of the port and of the Italian General
Navigation company, to which the
Sirio belonged. were so beseiged today
by agonized throngs seeking informa-
ton that the police were compelled TO
establish barriers to hold back the
crowds. Some of the people assumed a
threatening aspect, declaring that
facts were being withheld.
The Sirio had seen twenty-three
years service, but she was considered
to be in a seaworthy condition. She
was built of iron md wood, had sin
gle screw, was of 1000 tons gross regis
ter, and had a speed of fifteen knots
per hour. Her captain, Giuseppe Par
adj, was a native of Genoa and vet
eran seaman.
The disposition to be made of the
impoverished emigrants who were
saved from the Sirio causes special
anxiety. The situation recalls a sim
liar wreck of a Genezo ship near the
Rock of Gibraltar when the survivors
were unable to proceed to America OF
return to Italy, and therefore estab-
lished a fishing colony near Gibraltar,
where they still remain.
