 NOT YET KNOWN.
PANIC PREVAILED EVERYWHERE
Mutiny of Prisoners in Jail at Catan- zaro Was Subdued Only with
 Great Difficulty.

Rome. Oct. 25-The details re ceiyed here during the day regarding the earthquake in Calabria Wednes- day in every way tend 10 show that the damage done was much more ex. tensiye than at first estimated, but that the loss of life has not been great
 Nothing definite will be known on the subject until the ruins are cleared away.
 The first shock fortunately brought the entire population of the villages into the open, many succeeding in making their escape to the hills or open plains. which accounts for the smallness of the list of fatalities. To add to the desolation caused by the earthquake, it was raining in torrents "Wednesday, which greatly increased the suffering among the homeless peo- pie.
 Half the houses at Ferruzzano and Brancaleone collapsed and many per sons were buried in the ruins, and al Sinopoli and St. Ilario more lives are said to have been lost. Panic pre- vailed everywhere. Half the houses of the village of Gerace are in ruins and similar conditions prevail in a number of other points in Calabria.
 During the confusion caused by the first earthquake. the prisoners in the jail at CatanZaro mutined and were only subdued with great difficulty. The female prisoners were particularly alarmed. screaming, shouting and beat, ing the doors until the whole place was in a terrible uproar The prison officials did everything possible to calm the inmates. hut panic broke out afresh every time another earth shock was experienced.
 At C o'clock Thursday evening about two hundred bodies were taken from earthquake ruins IL is now estimated that the deaths will surpass five hun. dred, but it is impossible to get ae- curate information on this subject as many villages are still cut off by the floods and the destruction of roads and telegraph lines and no word from them can be had,
