FAVORABLY ON
ACTION OF AMERICA

London, Jan. 16, 1890 P. M.-Re-
ferring to the statement published here
to-day that the American treasury de-
partment has refused to insure the
staemer Dacia. formerly a German
vessel but now under American regis
ter, the Westminster Gazette this aft
ernoon in an editorial article says:
We may fairly take this as evil
dence that the United States rec
ognizes the transfer of the Dacia as
one which cannot be accepted silently
by our government. This is much more
a question whether Germany is to get
the cotton which naturally enough the
United States wants to.sell her. II the
Dacia transfer were permitted, SINH
lar transfer might be made of all Ger
man ships in America. The result of
this would be to deprive us of one OF
the advantages of sea power to which
we believe we are legitimately en-
titld."

American Military Attache Says

THREE STABLES In AVEZZANO
BY Associated PrcSs

Rome, Jan. 16.--Famine and intense
cold are adding to the sufferings of
the earthquake victims and slowly in
creasing the already huge death roll.
Food there is in plenty, but its trans
portation to many of the towns affect
ed is all but impossible because of OBJ
5tructed roads.
Rescue work is now going ahead
feverishly, for each hour of delay
means death by starvation or eXhaus-
ton for buried victims. From town
after town in the stricken section come
reports of excavation of ruins that was
too late to save lives.
Attention gradually is turning from
AveZZano, the center of the disturb
ance an1 tre greatest sufferer to other
and smaller towns. where an almost
equally large percentage of the popu-
lation was destroyed. In only one case
so car-th~; of Sora-do late reports
show that the effects of the quake
were less disastrous than had been
feared. Only $50 of Sora's 1900
persons appear to have been killed.
While trainloads of injured continue
to arrive in Rome, additional details
of the horror come in, all tending to
confirm earlier estimates of the tire
mendous loss Of life. Reports indicate
that, next TO Avezzano. the towns to
suffer the most are Pescino, with $500
victims; Haterno. with 900 dead, and
Samelino, with coo Of its population OF
800 wiped out. All are environs of
AVeZZano.
Flood Is Feared
The horror Of possible food added
to famine and suffering from cold
exists in the neiGhborhood of the
Tucino canal. which has been OBJ
structed and damned up by a land
slide at Montecorvino- Rovella. Sol
diers and civilians are working des-
perately to clear the canal.
Rescue and relief work is being
pushed with feverish haste in the
earthquake stricken district of Italy.
Thousands of soldiers are on the
ground and at work digging out and
burying the victims and caring for the
survivors
