HULL UMEUL MARIE DISASTER Italfan Ship Sirfo Goes Down Of the Spanish Coast With 300 Persona THE CAPTAIN DIES’ BY HIS OWN BAND Before Killing Himself He Attributed Die aster to Ale Own Impradence—Em+- grants Fought Like Wild Beasts for Place tn tho Boaty—Onondition of the 500 Survivors ts Deptorable, Cartagena, Spain, Aug. &—A terre ble marine disaster occurred Saturday evening off Cape Paloa The Itallan steamship Sirlo, from Genoa for Bar- celona, Gadiz, Montevideo and Beu- nos Ayres, with about 800 persons on board, was wrecked of Hormigas Is- land. Three hundred emigrants, most of them [tallans and Spantards, were drowned. The captain of the steamer commit- ted suicide. The bishop of San Pedro, Brazil, also was lost and it is reported that another bishop ts among the missing. The remainder of the passengers and the officers and crew got away tn the ship's boats and were rescued by means of boats sent to them from the shore. A number of fishermen who made attempts at rescue were drowned. Those rescued from the vessel were Sunday night at Cape Palos in a pit- fable condition, being without food or clothing. The Sirio struck a rocky reef, known as Bajos Hormigas and sank soon after stern first. Hormigas Island lies about two and a half miles to the eastward of Cape Palos, Before he committed sulcke the captain declared the steamer had 645 of Hfe buoys and boats, Many were killod or wounded, tochiding several members of the crew, who were at- tacked by the emigrants When the captain saw the vessel was lost and that the emigrants had captured the boat, he committed sul- cide by shooting with a revolver. Tho other officers then lost their heads apd there was nobody to direct the work of resone. Eye witnesses give awful pictures of the brutal panic on board. For half an hour the emigrants were masters overcame the crew by sheer force of numbers, and this in spite of the ef- forte of the afflcers who tried to save tbe women and children first. One report even states, the corre spondent continues, that a group of emigrants approached one of the ship's boats which was already full and which was about to be launched and dislodged the people, killing sev- eral with their knives. Just as they were aboug to occupy the boat them selves another armed body of em} grants came up and a flerce fight for the possession of the lifeboat fol- lowed Many of the survivors brought ashore were seriously wounded, anda number had sustained fractured limbs. Some of the inimred subse- quently died. It ts reported that the celebrated Spanish singer, Lola Milanes, was among the drowned Genoa, Italy, Aug, 6—The loss of the Italian steamer Sirto causes in- tense excitement among the relatives and frtends of the Italian passengers and crew, most of whom lived here or tn this vicinity. The offices of the captain of the port and of the Italian Generel Navigation company to whieh the Sirio belonged were so besieged Monday by agonized throngs seeking information that the police were compelled to establish barriers to hokl, back the crowds. Some of the people aesumed a threatening aspect, declar- ing that facts were being withheld. The Sirlo had seen 23 years of ser- vice but she was considered to be in ~|a seaworthy condition. She was built of iron and wood, had a single screw ‘|was of 4,000 tons gross register and had a speed of 15 knots per hour. Her vaptain, Guiseppe Paradi, was a native of Genoa and a veteran seaman. The disposition to be made of tho impoverished emigrants who were saved from the Sirlo causes special anxiety. The situation recalls a sim- lary wreck ofa Genoese shipnear the tock of Gibraltar when the survivors were unable to proceed to America or return to Italy and therefore estab. lished a fishing colony near Gibraltar where they still remain. y New York Suffering from Heat.
