ROME, Jan. 15.-Detailed reports COM
ing in from the provinces which suffered
In the earthquake Wednesday morning
show that tho number Of deaths Will
probably exceed the first estimates of
10000 and will perhaps be more than
10000. with nearly $4,000 injured.
These figures are based on conditions
found by the relief organizations In
towns and villages near Rome, espe-
cially Avezzano. which was destroyed
with loss OF life that may surpass TO-
900. The authorities do not attempt to
estimate the casualties in the Campania
and the southern part of the province of
the Abruzzi, where the Under Secretary
OF Public Works is organizing the re-
lief work.
The same situation is true OF the
towns OF Sora, fifteen miles southeast
of Avezzano; Pesdesolido. Castelliri
Atina and Isolaliri, where the number
OF persons killed is supposed to have
been greatest. The military are nov
engaged in opening up the railroads and
highways to these places. which are a.
yet unrelieved, since the disaster a
..vezzano has monopolized the reliei
efforts. Conditions In the Campania arr
said to be appalling.

LONDON. Jan. 15.-The Daily hdPs
Petrograd correspondent gives what APP
pears TO be the best explanation ad-
vanced so far OF the resignation OF Count
Berchtold, the Austrian Premier. He
says:

authorities to be the downfall OF Count

ter It casts light on the international
dissensions Of Austria-Hungary. II Is
"A personal triumph for Count Tis1a and
also is a victory for Magyarism over the
Austrian element.
Some say that the chief cause of the
antagonsm between Count Tisza and
Count Berchtold Is the latter's desire to
save something from the wreck by pro
posing to discuss peace II IL more prob
able that It lay In q difference OF opin-
ion regarding the advisability of making
the greatest effort to defeat Serva or 70
defend Hungary. The idea of a punt
tive expedition against the Servians was
Count Berchtold's fixed idea. He felt
that IL was no disgrace to be beaten by
Russia, but that unless she chastlsed the
Servians Austria would be Illuminated
forever.
Count Tisza held that there was NJ
military value in purusing the ServiaT
campaign. while II Hungary was left e
repel the Invaders herself che would with
draw her troops and would cooperate M
further with the German and Austrian
armies. The Kaiser had to decide whethe
I il WAS better to offend Austria or Hun

therefore he threw his influence on Coun
