ENGULFED BY SEA.
Tidal Wave Strikes Barcelona After
Quake.

London, Jan. 30-An earthquake
and tidal wave which it is feared will
parallel the awful catastrophe of Mes
sina and Reggie shook and crumbled
the eastern and southeastern coast Of
Spain yesterday causing terrible loss
of life.
The subterranean disturbance shook
down villages by the score, toppled
hills and mountains and dumped
towns into the sea.
The tidal wave that followed. as was
the case at Messina, completed the
work of destruction, washing down
the buildings left by the quake and
drowning scores of persons not killed
in the shock.
Barcelona, the second largest city in
Spain, with 100000 inhabitants. situat-
ed on the eastern coast near the
southern end of France. was razed by
the quake and engulfed by great wall
OF water that swept inland from the
raging Mediterranean.
Villages obiiterated.

Murcia were obliterated, the quake
tearing down the buildings. the tidal
wave washing the remains. together.
with the bodies of the victims. hun
dreds of yards inland Totana. the
principal town in Murcia, is lost.
The scenes Immediately preceding
the shock are described as much sim
liar to those at Messina and Reggie.
The first intimation of the disturbance
| was a rumbling and roar from the
| bowels of the earth
In an instant the truth dawned upon
the inhabitants: the next instant the
earth rocked violently. telling the
buildings. and the Mediterranean
rushed from its bed in upon the shore,
over the rocking cities and back in
land.
The city of Barcelona on the Medit.
erranean coast consisted of an old city
formerly surrounded by walls. which
were converted into promenades and
many beautiful suburbs Of modern ar
chitecture containing the various man
ufacturing enterprises to which the
city owes great deal of its import.

DECISION
PA VORS
KNOX
Senate SaysHe Is Eligible
if Salary of Secretary
of State Be Reduced

Washington. Feb. 11.-Senator Knox
is declared by the senate committee
on judiciary to be eligible for appoint
ment to the Office of secretary of state,
providing the salary OF secretary Of
state is reduced from $4,000 to 5000
a year, which was the salary prior to
the action Of congress In raising 1t
during Senator Knox's present term Of
office.
The committee on Judiciary today
considered the bill introduced yester-
day by Senator Hale from the point of
view that it might be regarded as a
6ubterfuge and a technical violation Of
the constitutional provision intended
to prevent the creation of lucrative po-
sitionS for members of congress. Final
ly 1t WAS decided that the main propo-
sition OF the Hale bill. which was to
repeal the increase of salaries of cab
met members SO far as It referred to
secretary of state, was sound The
phraseology. however, met with criti-
cism and 1t was decided to draft new
measure.
The new bill, in accordance with the
views of the committee used the word
"emolumentS" instead OF SALARY" In
order to be In harmony with the
language Of the constitution.
1t developed during the session that
the committee was not unanimous in
regard TO the question whether it
would be possible to repeal the salary
increase provision SO as to make SEN
ator Knox eligible for the office. Sen
ators Nttredge and Overmann seemed
to be In some doubt as to the pro-
prietN Of taking this action. but they
will not make minority report. and 1t
is said they will not oppose the
passage Of the bill when it comes upon
the floor of the senate
