New Earth Tremors in Italy Complete

Borgo San Lorenzo, Italy, Wednesday,
July (By the Associated Press Sew
eral new earth tremors occurred in the
Mugello valley to-day but there was no
loss of life. Several buildings, cracked
by the earthquake of Sunday, fell into
ruins.
The deaths in the Mugello section on
Sunday were not as numerous as at first
reported, The number of dead will not
reach 100.
The damage done by the earthquake
Sunday at Firenzuola, where there were
several violent tremors, was terrible, but
the situation there has been believed to
some extent. Many houses were de.
stroyed in the villages of Tirls, Rapezzo,
Casanova, Raferado and Moscheta.
Homes and churches were wrecked and
many persons were injured though no
deaths have yet been reported. At Lon
da, the suffering has been intense, many
people being homeless. The historic
church Of San Cassinao, dating from the
fifth century, was completely DESTROYED.
