I m j 1 Italian Vessel Goes Down Off Hormlgss Island, Spain. mane swollen Lives Lair Suicide of the Captainâ€"Bishop of See Pedro, Brazil, Among the Victims- Captain Took Dangerous Course In Order to Save Time and Ran-Ves- sel on the Rocksâ€"Brutal Panic Stricken Passengers Fight. Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 6.â€"A terrible marine disaster occurred Saturday evening off Cape Palos. The Italian steamship Sirio. from Genoa for Bar- celona, Cadiz, Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, with about 800 persons on board, was wrecked oi! Hormigas Island. Three hundred emigrants, most of them Italians and Spaniards, were drowned. , The captain of the steamer com- mitted suicide. The Bishop of Sao Pedro, also was lost. The remainder of the passengers and the ofiicers and crew got away in the ship’s boats or were rescued by means of boats sent to them from shore. A number of fishermen who made attempts at rescue were drowned. Those rescued from the vessel are now at Cape Palos in pitiable con- dition, being without food or cloth- ing. Strikes Reef. The Sirio struck a rocky reef known as Bales Hormigas, and sank soon after, stern first. Hormigas Island lies about 2 1~2 miles to the eastward of Cape Palos. Before he committed suicide the captain declared the steamer had 645 passengers on board, and that her crew numbered 127 men. The Sirio had 570 passengers when leaving Genoa. but additional Spanish P85- Bengal-swore taken on board at Bar- celona, where the vessel touched a few hours before the disaster. The disaster occurred at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The steamer was threading a dlmcult passage through the Hermigas' group where the Bales Bormigas reef is a cominual menace to navigation. The vessel began to settle rapidly immediately she had struck, and a terrible scene of con- fusion and panic ensued on board. Fishermen Rescue Survivors. The fishermen along the coast sought to render every assistance in their power and sent out boats which brought many survivors ashore. Most of the officers and crew of the Sirio are among the saved. The survivors have gone into camp on the main square of the town of Cape Palos. Harrowing scenes are enacted as the stricken families anxiously seek beloved members among the rescued. A mother who lost her three children went insane. The doctor of the Sirio ave up his wife and child as lost, but they were finally brought in by one of the rescuing boats, and the scene as this family was reunited was most af- fecting. One of the boats sent out by the fishermen brought in 24 passen- gers. Brazil, Captain Takes Blame. The captain of the Sirio, before he killed himself, attributed the wreck to his own imprudence. The Sirio left Genoa Aug. 2. All the ship’s books were lost. It is impossible at present to ascertain the full extent of the disaster. Nine-tenths of the passengers were Italians, and the re maindcr Spaniards. The survivors have been landed at Cape Palos. The in- habitants at once provided them with clothing and nourishment. From narratives of the terror-strick- en survivors it would appear that it was the intention of the captain of the Sirio after leaving Barcelona. to call at Cadiz before proceeding to Brazil. The captain in order to shorten the route and gain time, purposed to pass as close as possible to the dangerous rocky ledges. surrounding the Hormigas Islands. Without any warning and while running at full speed. the Sirio crash- ed upon the rocks with terrible force. A few minutes later the stern of the vessel sank beneath the waves. Horror and Panic Reign. The passengers were in a state of horror and panic. Crowds rushed for- ward, pushing each other and fighting for places in the bow of the boat. Many ' fbil and were trampled to death. Dos- ens of men and women throw them- selves into the sea. A young mother who was carrying her baby was advised to abandon the child and try to save herself alone. This she refused to do. declaring she preferred that they die together. Both were eventually picked up alive from the water. In the midst of this panic the cap- tain and officers of the Sirio endeavored oooly. but in vain to rostrum the peo- ple. restore a semblance efeMer and or- ganise a system of life-saving. This was not acoetnpllshed for the vessel. suddenly. either broke in half or glided of! the rocks and laundered In deep water.

Aug. 6.â€"-Little Mary A. Ber- dina Swackhammer, the 13-year-old daughter of Thomas A. Swackhammer of the fourth line of Erin. was shot and killed by a young Scotch lad nam- ed Peter Wylie. The tragedy occurred at the father's home, about six o'clock on Saturday evening, and Wylie was W88 arrested shortly afterwards at At» ton, just as he was about to board a. train for the east to make his escape. The motive for the terrible deed can- not be ascertained. though it is known I that W'ylie was in a fit of temper at the time.

He maintains that the discharge of the gun was purely accl- dental, ' Only 15 Years Old. W'ylle, who is only 15 years of 888. was brought out to Chanda from Scot- land two years ago by Rev.

Kennedy's farm is only a. short distance from the Swnckhunmerbome- stead. and occasionally the two men assist each other with work. On Thurs- day last Kennedy was to have helped Sweckhammor with his turnim but was taken ill.

He pointed it at Stanley, Mr. SW3d!- hammers' other son, who was hitching up a horse to go to Acton. and threat- ened to shoot him. Then he pointed it at the horse, and then Swackhammer told him to put it back. This he did nod returned.
