Rome, June 8. - Great apprehension
has been caused again by seismic dis
turbances showing that the rone affect
ed by tha earthquake shocks today is a
vast one, embracing practically the
whole of Southern Italy, as well as a
portion of Tuscany and Vmitia to the
north.
Some reports estimate the numler
of dead at SO, anti of injured at several
hundred. It is feared that many are
buried in the ruins of buildings thrown
down at Calltri. Il is said that ¿in
thia town half the buildings have l>ecn
wrecked and the number, of^dead ¿is
above 35.
From many other towns and villages
come stories of fallen home*, death and
suffering. At San Sole, in the pro
vince of Potensea, six jwrsons w« re
killed and five injured.
The convicts
in the prison at Bunavento became
panic-stricken and tried to force their
way past the guards, but were over
powered by troops.
The district in which the most seri
ous damage occurred extends for only
alsxit 50 miles about Mount Vulture,
in the province of Avollmo.
This region has suffered much in the
past from earthquake shocks ami in
In51 8l>0 persona were killed.
The government has taken hold of
the situation with promptitude and al
though the earthquake occurred during
the night military and civil authorities
were soon hard at work giving aid to
the injured, preparing shelter for the
homeless and bending their energies to
the re-establishment of order.
