Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 6.-The
italian steamship Sirio, from Genoa
for South America, with 500 passen.
gers on board, was wrecked Off Hormi.
gas island, which lies about two and
a half miles to the eastward of Cane
Palos.
Three hundred Of the enisrants,
most of them Italians and SpuniarIs,
were drowned. The archbishop of
San Pedro, Brazil, also was lost.
The remainder of the passengers
and the officers and crew of the Sirio
got away in the ships boats or were
rescued by means of ropes thrown to
them from the shore. A number OF
fishermen who made attempts at res
cue were drowned. Those rescued
from the vessel are now at Cape Pa.
los in a pitiable condition, being
without food or clothing.
The captain of the steamer attrib.
uted the wreck to his own imprudence
and committed suicide. Just before
he killed himself the captain declared
the steamer had 645 passengers on
board and that the crew numbered 1877
men. The Sirio had $40 passengers
when leaving Genoa, but additional
Spanish passengers were taken on
board at Barcelona. where the vessel
touched a few hours before the dis
ester.
The steamer was threading diff
cult passage through the Hormigas
group, where the Bajos Hormigas reef
is continual menace to navigation.
The vessel began to settle rapidly i'm
mediately after she struck, and ter
rible scene of confusion and panic en-
sued on board. The fishermen along
the coast sought to render every as
sistance in their power and sent out
boats, which brought many survivors
ashore. Most of the officers and crew
of the Sirio are among the saved.
The survivors have gone into camp
on the main square of the town at
Cape Palos. Here narrowing scenes
are enacted as the stricken families
anxiously seek beloved members
among the rescued. A mother who
lost her three children went insane.
The doctor of the Sirlo gave up his
wife and child as lost, but they were
finally brought in by one of the res
cuing boats, and the scene as this
family was reunited was most affect
ing. One of the boats sent out by the
fishermen brought in twenty-four pas
sengers.

FIRST THEATRICAL SHOW
FOR SAN FRANCISCO
oRPHEUM CIRCUIT TO OPEN
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Chutes Theater, Only Playhouse Which
Escaped Destruction, Will Hold the
Field for AwhlIe-oakIand to Have
New House

New San Francisco will get it's first
taste of theatrical amusement Sunday
afternoon, when a regular Orpheum
circuit vaudeville will be put on at the
Chutes theater, the only one which
escaped destruction.
From this time forward there will be
no cessation in the Orpheum shows, and
as that theater will be the only one in
operation in the entire city it has been
decided to give matinees every day ex-
cept Monday, the same as is done in
Los Angeles.
In addition to giving it's regular
show at the Chutes, the Orpheum will,
at a very early date, open at Oakland
and give the same high class vaudeville
shows there that are given at the other
theaters on the circuit. This action is
taken on account of the increased i'm
portance of Oakland, the population of
which is as great as that of San Fran
cisco at the present time.
One effect of this action will be to
strengthen the Orpheum circuit for the
summer very materially, for the Den
yer, Omaha, Kansas City. Minneapolis
and New Orleans theaters all close this
month.

Many of the proprietors of the stores
along the route of the Fiesta floral
parade have consented to close their
places of business while the parade is
going on-that is from 10 o'clock Tues
day morning until O'Clock in the af-
ternoon. The Fiesta committee has
asked that all of the stores do the
same.
1t has also requested the retail and
wholesale stores to give their employees
a holiday during the time taken up by
the parade and. in general, this has
been granted. The latter request was
made not only to give the clerks and
other employees an opportunity to see
the parade, but also to give them a
chance to participate in it If they SO
desire.
One feature of the electrical parades
has been changed on account of the
switches of the Los Angeles Railway
company
The night parades on Monday and
Tuesday will proceed over the follow
ing route: Start north on Main street
at Ninth, following that street to the
Temple block, thence around Temple
block to Spring street, south on Spring
to Ninth, west on Ninth to Broadway,
north on Broadway to Second. east OH
Second to Spring, thence south on
Spring to the car barns.
The Venice float according to word
received yesterday by the Fiesta COM
mittee, will be preceded by the band of
Venice. The float of the pretty beach
town will be one of the handsomest in
the parade. 1t will consist of a gon-
dola in which will ride a beautiful
woman and gondolier and 1t will be
drawn by camels.
The entries for the parade will close
tonight. This is necessary, as the COM
mittee has yet to arrange the divisions
and classes.
One of the potentates of the Shrine
who was not deferred from coming to
Los Angeles by the "edict" is Frank o.

guests of F. A. Hines and they will
remain throughout the Fiesta.
