CAPTAIN COMMITS SUICIDE Harrowing Scenes When the Surviv- ors Are Brought to Shore—Sev- eral Rescuers Drown. The Italian steamship Sirio, from Genoa to Barcelona, Cadiz, Monte- video and Buenos Ayres, with about | 800 persons on board, was wrecked off Hormigas island. Three hundred emigrants, most of them Italians and Spaniards, were drowned. The captain of the steamer com- mitted suicide.

Those rescued from the vessel are now at Cape Palos in pitiabe condi- | tion, being without food or clothing. The Sirio struck a rocky reef known as Bajos Hormigas and sank soon after, stern first. Hormigas is- land lies about two and a half 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 pass- engers wee taken on board at Bar- | touched a! celona, where the vessel few hours before the disaster. He attributed the accident to his own im- prudence. The disaster occurred at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The steamer was threading a difficult passage through the Hormigas group, where the Bajos Hormigas reef is a con- tinual menace to navigation. The vessel began to settle rapidly immediately she had struck, and a | terrible scene of confusion and panic | ensued on board. The fishermen coast along the sought to render every assistance in their power and sent out boats which brought many survivors Most of the officers and crew of the Sirio are among them. \ The survivors have gone into camp on the main square of the town at Cape Palos. Here harrowing scenes are enacted as the stricken families anxiously seek beloved members among the rescued. A mother who lost three children went insane. One of the boats sent out by the fishermen brought in 24 passengers. The condition of the survivors is mosf deplorable. They have lost everything and are without money, food or clothing. The marine officials of Carthagena have dispatched a tug to the scene carrying relief supplies. The latest report of the disaster to the Italian steamer Sirio states that there were 930 persons on bcecard at the time of the catastrophe, and that 545 have been saved, while 285 are still missing and are believed to have perished. The coast is strewn with corpses for many miles, and fishing craft are new engaged in taking them ashore, where they will have Christian burial. The accident was caused by the cap- tain keeping his vessel going ahead at full speed during a dense fog. PASSENGERS IN PANIC Emigrants Fought With Knives While Ship Was Sinking. The Madrid correspondent of the J.ondon Central News wires that when the Italian steamer Sirio was lost scenes of horror attended the wrecking. The steamer was going at full speed ahead when she struck. Her bow was crumpled up and a great | hole was ripped in her hull forward. | Through this hole the water rushed in immense volume, flooding the for- ward holds in a few seconds. Panic seized the emigrants. The shock was terrific and everyone on the ship was hurled down by the im- pact of the hull upon the rocks. Those sleeping on the decks were scattered about and confusion reigned from the instant of the accident. The passengers commnienced to rush for the small boats, in which many were killed and maimed. The crew was unable to cope with the panic and finally joined in the mad battle for safety. The emigrants drew knives, with which nearly all of them were supplied, and fought like dem- ons to obtain places in the lifeboats as they swung in the davits. Women and children were ignored. some of the former fighting like men, though the majority were hurled aside ' or trampled to death in the stampede. Men stabbed one another in fearful hand-to-hand conflicts about the boats or fought barehanded with the feroci- ty of animals. Of the women and children a num- ber were thrown overboard and left to drown. Other women threw their children into the water and leaped af- ter them. The horrible strife on the decks of the ship lasted not more than a min- ute, for within scarcely that period of time the ship filled and sank. She sank by the bow, which slipped off the rocks into deep water. Paper Company Quits Business. The General Paper Company, know! as the paper trust, has gone out of business as the result of the decis- ion of the United States court against it. A meeting of the board of di-| rectors of the company was held at Milwaukee, when all the business was cleared up. Former Governor Samuel R.

Over 2,000 mutineers are barricaded in their barracks. Martial law was proclaimed at Cronstadt and many other regions of the empire, including the Donetz basin. The Cronstadt mutiny caused a panic in the palace at Peterhof and the czar was reported to have fled the country, but it subsequently prov- ed only made arrangements to remove to Tsarskoe-Selo. Gen. Markgraffsky, chief of the Warsaw gendarmerie, and his son were shot and killed by revolution- ists.

A gigantic military conspiracy aim- ing at the simultaneous Russia's three great sea fortresses, Cronstad, Sebastopol and Sveaborg, arranged by the revolutionary mili- tary league, was prematurely sprung at Helsingfors by an attempt to ar- rest members of a company of sap- pers who had mutinied on account of the death of one of their comrades, alleged to have been due to ill-treat- ment. The entire garrison of the fortress at Sveaborg flamed out instantly in revolt. All the artillerymen and sap- pers garrisoning the place were in- volved. Only four companies of in- fantrymen remained loyal. { The mutineers seized 40 machine | guns and practically all the quick | firers and light artillery in the fort- ress, but even with this aid they were unable to hold the main fort against the loyal infantry. The fighting con- tinued all night long. The heaviest firing was heard from 10 o’clock in | the evening until 1 in the morning. | A detachment of civilian revolu- | tionaries seized the marine barracks | | on Skattudden island, hoisted the red | flag, and were joined by all the ma- rines. Nine cruisers, torpedo boats and destroyers, lying in the harbor, opened fire on the barracks. This fire was answered from the third story windows of the barracks, with machine guns and rifles. The torpedo boats and destroyers, which were lying closer to the shore, were subjected to such a hot fire from the barracks that their crews were driven below decks. ers.. This sea. attack was in co- operation with attacks by Cossacks and infantry from the landside which began at 9 o'clock in the morning and continued through the whole day. Finally toward evening the firing ceased and the authorities announced that the barracks had been captured. At one o'clock in the afternoon the Cossacks cleared the square in front of the palace facing Sveaborg and then drove the public from the entire water front for the purpose of pre- venting the sending of assistance from the city to Sveaborg.

The ‘Iron Age’ says: Simultane- ously with reports of a further access of strength in all the pig iron mar- kets of the country, comes the state- ment of the United States Steel Cor- poration, showing the largest quart- ers’s earnings in its history. Lead- ers in the trade now speak with less reserve concerning early 1907, after having for some time limited their predictions of good times to 1906. The volume of orders on the steel cor- poration’s books on June 30, 6,809,539 tons, is the largest mid-year total it has been able to report. “Finished material markets show unusual midsummer activity, distrib- uted all along the line. At Chicago, railroads have entered large orders for track supplies. ' Rail buying for the week has been light, but some export business was done with Mexico and Porto Rico. Car buying goes on stead- ily. “A large order for 12-inch pipe line for Western Pennsylvania adds to the already phenominal tonnage of pipe and tube mills.” The Iron Trade Review’ says: “The very heavy specifying by near- ly all users of iron and steel products is a leading feature of present strong conditions. Much heavier contracting has characterized some other periods but the tendency not to specify on contracts when business declines is well understood in the trade. When, however, specifications are received in the great volume in which they are now coming in, there can be no doubt of genuine prosperity.” * MUCH MAIL GOES WRONG Carelessness Causes Big Lass to Let- ter Writers. Over 11,000,000 pieces of undeliv- ered mail were handled by the dead letter division last year, and the average number received each day is now between 30,000 and 35,000. As- sistant Postmaster General DeGraw believes this number could be great- ly reduced by the use of ordinary care by patrons of the postal service. Not only are the writers and ad- dressees put to great inconvenience and trouble by the non-delivery of their mail, but the pecuniary loss is considerable, as during the present month alone over $2,000, for whicu no owners could be found, was turn- ed into the Federal treasury. The Public Debt. The monthly statement of the pub- lic debt issued August 1 shows that at the close of business July 31, 1906, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $973,856,801, which is an increase for the month of $9,421,- 114. This increase is largely account- ed for by the decrease in the amount of cash on hand. The recent issue of Pan-American bonds does not ap- pear in the July statement. Interest- bearing debt, $895,159,090. Big Fortune for Americans. When Sir Thomas Henley died in London over 30 years ago he left a fortune of several million dollars and not an heir in England to claim it.
