In Ship Wreck

Madlid, Jan. 1.-Two hundred
and fourteen persons lost their
lives when the Spanish steamer
iSanta Isabel was wrecked near
e1llargareia Saturday night, says
a telegram received here from the
governor of Pontevedra. Fifty-six
persons were saved but many of
them were injured. Captain Muniz
iRicueldi, captain of the vessel, was
severely hurt and it is not expected
he will recover. Many bodies have
been washed ashore and in several
cases whole families were drowned.
Among the saved was an infant
ohree Years old, whose parents are
believed to be dead.
Iatc't dispatches from Cadiz
state the ship was driven on the
rocks during a tremendous storm
and the large number of deaths is
attributed to the fact that the pas
sengers had been confined to their
cabins because of the violence of
the tempest, many of them being
asleep.
The Majority of those rescued
from the steamer were unable to
speak on being landed, owing t.
their frightful experience during
the hours of clinging to the wreck
age in the terrific storm and cold

disaster occurred at 1:45 o'clock
