Spanish Coast Strewn With Corpses
From Steamer Sirio.
Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 7. - Numer-
GUS bodies of persons drowned in the
wreck of the steamer Sirio off Hermit
gas islands were thrown upon the shore
during the day. Most of them are per-
sons of the better class. Several small
fishing smacks have arrived, bringing
survivors of the Sirio who we're found
floating at sea long distances from the
scene OF the disaster.
The first reports of the disaster de-
clsred without qualification that the
captain of the Sirio had committed sui
eide. Later information, however,
shows that he was on board the steamer
when she sank, and expressed the de-
termination to go down with his vessel.
Tie was afterwards rescued, in spite of
his refusal to be saved.
The latest figures on the disaster
show that 275 passengers were lost.
