uas given publicity by the adminis

rhe report that Great Britain and Ger

"From latest reMrts which arecoii
sidereil reliable, the disaster at tialves

depth or six to twelve feet. During
this sudden tloixl a most terrible storm
was raging, the wind blowing about
eighty miles an hour. Many of the
dead have Imm-ji uncovered; others are
still under the debris; others were car
ried out to sea. It Is not po.'l. to
give, at this time, a reliable report
!i t. the number of deaths. From
estimates "made by reliable person
who have just come from tial vest oi !
Mt Is Iielieved that not less than l.ni
and po-ssibly as many as 'junt fieople .
were drowm-d. Of course, tiie wound
ed are numenois. The damage to
property is most sliiM-kinc. Some of
theiiest" pillic and private estalisH
metts were wrecked. Thousand of

Is te safe to set this down as one
of the greatest disasters that has ever
