 The gravity of the situation has now Snltted to Otta1ano, ana san giuseppe where the recovery of the dead from the debris goes on amid the misery of thous. ands of homeless refugees. A sensational development occurred during the work of salvage at Ottajano today when the searchers unearthed two aged women still alive but speeehless after six days entombment. They were among the hun dreds who were crushed beneath the fall ing walls during the rain of stones and ashes last Sunday and Monday. Hope had been abandoned of finding any of those persons alive. The women were protected by the rafters of the house which they were in. and had managed to exist on a few morsels of food which they had in their pocekts.
 Nine dead bodies were taken out to- day, and it is estimated that a hundred more remain under the ruins. At some points the ashes are ten feet deep, reach ing to the windows of the second stories of the few novels standing.
 The work of salvage at San Guisepps has brought to light a remarkable con dition Bodies have been found of wom- en in whose hands were coins and jewels. and one woman held a rosary. indicating the instinct to preserve earthly belong ings in the moment of fleeing from death

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AGAINST OUTBREAKS WERE EFFECTIVE.

St Petersburg April 15.-The Easter festival, the anniversary of the Jewish massaeres at Kishneff and other places happily was not stained this year so far as was reported up to midnight by anti Jewish excesses The measures taken by the central government and the orders sent to the provincial authorities to take every preeaution with the added warn ing that they would be held personally responsible for outbreaks apparently were effective, though the danger will not be over until the Easter holidays are passed

 The streets of the capital have been alive since early morning with the cabs of the government officials and clerks making their congratulatory calls on their superiors. Minister of the Interior Dur novo, however published notice to his subordinates stating that it was not nee essary for them to call on him, and which created general surprise as his retirement was not announced This de- clnation of congratulations is regarded as another intimation that his relinqulsh ment of office is d matter of a few days.
 Count Witte for the moment seems to have downed his rival, the elections haN- ing strengthened his position greatly and enabled him to lay the blame for re- pressions on M. Durnovo.

Aliens captors took him to the top of the tower. compelled him to jump off with the rope around his neck. The rope broke and he fell upon the charred bodies of Duncan and Copeland. Tn the second attempt he was swung off; and as 11e dangled he was killed by shooting. When Allen was first taken upon the tower with the rope around his neck, and protesting his innocence, the leader of the lynchers called upon the mob to vote whether Allen was guilty or nno- cent The mob howled "hang him. The inside of the jail was completely wrecked, the mob not stopping after they had secured their men, but continu- ing their work of destruction until prac- tically all the prison bars were down. About 5000 damage was done in the prison alone, while in the sheriff's resi-
 dence the damage is fully as much. Mrs Hornes, the sheriff's wife, Is in critical condition, and Is suffering with heart trouble.
 Ministers Denounce Lynchers Many of the leading ministers in their Easter sermons today denounced the | iynchers in strong terms, and called up- on the proper authorities to enforce the ] law or resign their positions. Prosecut- 1 ing Attorney Roscoe Patterson of Greene county, said tonight:
 Every man implicated in this dastard- | ly outrage whose name I am able to learn will be punished to the full extent of the law The members of the mob are not law-abiding citizens, they are out laws
 Prosecuting Attorney Patterson and Sheriff Horner are said to have secured
 the names of more than 100 men who took an active part in the lynching The , leaders of the mob were not disguised but worked in the full glare of the elec- tric lights on the square. Prosecuting Attorney Patterson will Tuesday ask Judge Lincoln of the criminal court to summon special grand jury at once. and make a most thorough investigation into the lynching.
 A crowd of negroes assembled on the
 public square early tonight and refused to disperse, but when the first company of militia arrived. they sullenly scatter ed. It is feared that an attempt may be made during the night to set fire to buildings in the outskirts of the city, and consequently the arrival of the oth- CT companies of militia ordered here by Governor Folk. is anxiously awaited Soldiers will immediatel-- be placed in all parts of Springfield and extra ef- forts will be made to suppress any vio-
