Rome, Jan. 13.-Italy again has been visited by an earthquake Of wide extent, which according to the late ad- vices, has resulted in the death Of t2,- GOO persons and injured to possibly 2oC0o more in the towns and villages destroyed.
 The shock was the strongest Rome has felt in more than hundred years The town of Avezsano. m the Abruzzi department, 63 miles east of Rome. has been ievelIed to the ground- here 9CC0 persons are reported to have been killed. In many small towns surrounding Rome buildings were par tiaiy wrecked. while at Naples a panic occurred and houses fell at Gas crta, short distance 10 the east.
 From below Naples in the south to Ferrera in the north, distance of more than 300 miles. and across al most the width of the country the un- dulatoy movement continued for considerable period. in Rome 1t was thought at first that two shocks had occurred, but the ssjsmographic instru- ments in the observat0ries showed there was only one which beginning al 7:55 o'clock m the morning. lasted from 22 10 30 seconds.
 ln the capital itself, so far as known there was no loss of life but a great deaI of damage was done, churches and statues suffering most. Most of the people were stricken with fear and there was a vertibIs panic in the hospitals, monasteries and oonvents. The buildings on both sides of the Porta Del Popolo, the north entrance to Rome threatened to fall and the eagle decorating the gate crashed to the ground. The Obelisk in St. Square was shaken and badly damaged, while the statue of St. John Lateran and the statues of the apostles surmountirg the basilica arein danger of coIIaps- ing. The famous colonnade decorat- ing St. Peters Square was lowered four feet, while the adjacent house, once occupied by the sisters of Pope Plus X was badly cracked.
 The actual effects of the earthquake are not at present known, owing to the cutting off of communications. The fortified city of Aquiia has in this way been cut off, but it is report ed several villages in that region were destroyed. Likewise, Potenza, caPl- tai of the province of the same name, on the eastern decIiVity of the Apen- hines, which has population or nearly 20,OC0 has been isolated. ln 1887 this town was almost destroyed by an earthquake. Father Alfani, director of the ob- servatory a Valle Di Pompeii. the not ed seismoIogist, has sent the follow ina telegram to Rome;
 "The earthquake registered by our apparatus appears to have been most disasterous for a radius of more than 100 miles. Probably Its center was the province of Potenza. Meanwhile communications with Potenza are 'r terrupted a grave disaster is feared
