THOUSANDS PERISHED
LOSS OF LIFE FROM FoRMosAN
EARTHQUAKE LARGER THAN
FIRST REPORTED.

London, March 21.-According to the
Daily Telegraph's correspondent at
Toxic 1t is now estimated that several
thousand persons were killed by the
recent earthquake in Formosa. The
whole island was shaken from early
morning on Saturday until late at
night, the shocks being almost CON
tinuous. On the same day slight
shocks were felt in Japan. Before the
following morning five distinct shocks
occurred at Kumamoto. kilograms
from Formosa state that the prosper
GUS towns of Datiyo, Raishiko and
Shinko were completely destroyed. At
Kagi alone 1000 natives and seven
Japanese were killed. At Datiyo 600
bodies have been recovered from the
open fields, to which the people had
fled only to succumb to their injuries.
At rough estimate the damage
amounts to $45,O00,000.

Pueblo, Colo, March 17.-While the
exact number of lives lost in the
Adobe wreck near Florence on the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad will
never be known it undoubtedly will
take rank among the great disasters
In the history of railroading. Con-
servative estimates on the loss of life
place the number of dead at thirty
six. Seventeen bodies are in Pueblo
morgue, two are in the morgue at Flor
ence, several other persons are known
to be dead and possibly score of
bodies were burned to ashes.
S. F. Lively, the operator whose
failure to deliver the train order that
resulted in the collision, has not yet
been arrested and it is considered

will be taken until after the coroner's
inquest. Lively says of his failure to
deliver the train order:
II was asleep; that's all"
It is asserted that Lively had worked
for several days without sleep.

Declares Pleas of the Packers Are Not
Well Founded.

Chicago, March 21.-Attorney Gen

the packers case, concluding his argu-
ment in time to allow him to take a
train for Washington. He declared
that the pleas of the packers were not
we'll founded, and that they are not en-
titled to immunity because they had
given their evidence of their own free
will and had not been placed on oath
nor subject to compulsion of any kind.
At times he grew sarcastic in his refer
ences to the statements of attorneys
for the defendants, who had claimed
that their clients could not be pun

Pueblo, Colo., March 17.-Failure by

sons were injured Many of the
corpses were consumed by the fire.
Which swept the wreck, and 1t is
doubtful if full list of the casualties
will ever be known.
The wreck was accompanied by hor-
rors only slightly less than those of
the Eden disaster, which occurred
Aug. Z, 1904, on the same line. The
names followed the collision almost
Instantly and those who failed to
reach the doors or windows at once
were deprived of all chance for life.
