IT).—From lift.non to 5n, oou still remains the unofficial esti mate of tlu> casualties resulting front the earthquake which rocked south et i and central Italy early Wednes day morning. The amount of damage done cannot yet !m- determined front the tneacre descriptions of the catastrophe that reached Romo over the hampeted lines of communication. Such details as have come through leave no doubt, however, that nearly one hundred towns and village's have been utterly demolished or partly wrecked and that great loss of life resulted. Thousands of persons now have lain for nearly three days beneath crumbled buildings throughout the earthquake zone. Some are dead, /white others still are living. 'Many have been removed from the wreck age and brought to Koine hospitals for treatment or are being cared for i:i their home towns in temporary structure s presided over by physi cians and nurses rushed from the cai Hal and other cities in Italy. It is believed many of those caught in the wreckage were not in.iuri d but perished from cold and hunger or were incinerated in fire which broke out amid the ruins. The number bur ied probably was largest at A vez xano and Magliano di Marsi. wlliero tires started and there was no water to quench them. Avezzano apparently suffered most from the disaster. Ten thousand per sons in that dl -'rict a:<■ said to have pari silt'd and :|ie entire town has bee i leveled Hera and Pescina each has 4,000 dead, while the fatalities at (iios; marsi reached it.500 and at San Be nedetto 5,nutl. Numerous other towns report a death toll running from ten to over two thousand In the stricken districts the people are canning in tilie open. Troops a-tte guarding the demolished or partly demolished town to prevent looting t’aste distinctions everywhere have been laid aside and no tubers of the nobility, senators, deputies and high officials are working shoulder to shoulder with private soldiers and laborers in their efbois to rescue the living or remove the bodies of the dead. A phase of the political situation in the kingdom resulting from the earth* quake is that tlhe call for conscripts i:i the damaged zone has been re-, seinded by tile military authorities. Thomas Nelson Page. American ambassador to Italy, today asked whether assistance from the Fnited Stall's government financial or other wise, in aiding the people stricken by the earthquake would be accept able. Mr. Page was told that owing to the international situation the Ital ian government had d< elded to ale stain from accepting, olflcially, any fonttign aid As this will not prevent private initiative on the part of Americans or other foreigners living in Italy and tllieir friends at home.

Along the re;i of t'n eastern front nothing of Importance has happened. In tlie west the German success in regaining in a few days from the French the groan I near Poissons which it took tile soldiers of General iloffre, commander-in chief of the French forces, a fortnight to cap ture. remains the outstanding fea ture. alilhough it has been somewhat offset by the reported British success near l.abassee and the capture by Zouaves of some German trendies in the region <,f Arras.

Here the Gennaab appear to have gained important successes, retaking ground from the French by furious assaults.

The Ger mans also claim to have captur ed fourteen cannon and six ma chine guns.

EIGN OIL INTERESTS. THREATEN TAMPICO FIELD Prohibition of Export of Oil Which Supplies British Vessels Brings Protest to United States From Great Britain. Washington, Jan. M.—Tin? United States government lias sent a warn ing to General Carranza, pointing out that "serious consequences may fol low" Hiis threatened confiscation of foreign-owned oil plants in Tampico. This announcement was made hy Secretary Bryan after the latter had conferred with Sir Cecil Spring the Blitish ambassador, and re| re eontatives of Amert al oil concerns. Already the Carranza officials vir tually have enforced an embargo on the exportation o! oil bv a Idg Ktie lie h company The British amhasea dor. at the suggestion of Mr Brian, se it an urgent telegram 1o the Brit ish consul at Vera Cruz, which he was instructed to show to General Carranza. As tlie British fleet obtain® much of its fuel from the Tampico oil fields, the possibility of serious com plications over the Carranza govern ment's attitude is realized fully by the American government. Air Bryan said today that the for eign owned oil companies "fear con fiscation of their wills" hy Carranza, an !' that the urgent representations had been made to torestall such ac tion. A decree Issued hy tile (Carranza government makes i* impossible for seme of the foreign oil companies to operate without the consent of the 'Mexican auflhoritles and some of the American concerns, it. is said, have been forced to pay so 'heavily that they virtually have been compelled to shut down their plants. Although there are IDutch interests al Tampico, no representations have as yet been made by The Netherlands govern ment. Tlit* prospects of a t)altle on the outskirts of Tampico between the ad vanning forces of (ieneral Villa and the columns of Carranza under Gen era! Pablo (ioniales is expected here to develop the situation further. II the Villa forces are victorious a so Intion of the problem is confidently expected because of previous assur ances given by the Villa-Gutierrez of ficials in that district. The following summary of the sit uation in Tampico in i telegram trorn that port dated late yesterday was made public by the stale department: "The line between -Monterey a id Tampico has been cut and American colonists in isolated districts are sending women to Tampico, which place is still anticipating an attack. The food supply is said to be short. A large number of Americans have been thrown out of work on account of tire closing down of the petroleum com panies. On account of Who recent pe troleum decree and lack of confi dence in constitutionalist money, business is sai l to be demoralized. It is saiii that in the Tampico consular district there are at least 1 ,L'PU Americans." Tlte closing down of the oil plants at Tain-pico. it has been pointed out by officials, not only will affect the supply of fuel to foreign countries but to Texas, where row'll of the product is shipped for railroad use Dispatches from .Monterey to the state department dat.<d yesterday say some of the Car:an•/a troops have now returned o Monterey, the Villa troops having failed to enter the city, when the bulk of tilte Carranza force withdrew a few days ago.

Accused of Carrying Friends on Fed. eral Pay Roll and of Causing the Dominican Revolution. Now York, .Ian. 15.—Janies M. Sul livan, American minister to the Dom inican Republic, was pictured today jal the inquiry conducted by .Sena tor-elect Phelan into his fitness to hold the post, as having been asso ciated with interests who for money consideration, would guarantee to ob tain profitable contracts from the Dominican government. K. Bright Wilson, attorney for C. D. Smith, a contractor of Memphis, Teun., testified that his client had told him he had been appointed with an offer of such a guarantee and had been told that Sullivan could make it. possible for him to get road contracts in Santo Domingo that would net lit) Ver cent. The man who appointed his client, he said, was William C. Beers, an attorney, said to be asso ciated with the Samuel ,\1. Jarvis in terests, who controlled the Banco National at Santo Domongo. Tills is the institution which, it had been tes tified previously, had obtained the de posits of dominicau customs funds through Sullivan's influence. Beers wanted, among other tilings, the witness said, cash pay ment as his share for securing the contracts. "Beers told me he had got in touch with some Sano Domingo contracts He said he was responsible for the appointment of Sullivan as America)* minister, that there were some large public road contracts in Santo Dom ingo and that he wanted me to get some ot' them. "Beers assured me there would be no trouble in getting the money as the I'nited States government woilld attend to that. He said if I would (give him. J5.000 cash, he’d give me a letter to Sullivan and left the impres sion that would lie all that was ne cessary to get the contracts- As soon as the contracts were obtained, he said, he would w'ant $5,000 more and lliat w'e would then organize a Con struction company of which he and his associates—he mentioned Jarvis —would get lu per cent of theprofits. The profits on the contracts would net lid per cent, he said. 1 told Beers that it was not legitimate and he as sured me that his influence at Wash ington was such that would be no in vestigation under the present admin istration.'’ That Sullivan brought to Santo Domingo and caused to be placed up on payroll a man who he said was his personal physician, but said to be a masseur for Beers and with no bet ter medical qualifications than that of a nurse, was asserted by Walker witli Vick, former receiver general of customs for Santo Domingo. In this he was corroborated by E. Fred Knauth, a dealer in medical supplies in New York. Vick put in a deposition signed by Conroy that he was told in the pres ence of iBeers, .Jarvis and Sullivan at the Union league that if Sullivan was appointed physician to attend Sullivan's family. Conroy was a good nurse, said Vick but he admitted to him that he never received a degree. Vick who instigated the present in vestigation, said Sullivan generally was credited with being responsible for the Dominican revolution of 1914 because he upheld the Dordas govern ment against the i.egallstas.

Mr. Gregory said that the federal investigation into the flour and wheat situation was being carried on in Chi cago in accordance with the general instruct ions from the department of justice. I'p to the present he, how ever, had received no information that illegal practices had been re sorted to. The suggestion of -Mrs. Julian Heath, president or the National Housewives' hoagtip, to President, Wilson that an embargo on the ex portation of wheat from the 1’nited States be imposed If the prices con tinued to go up, was laid before the president tonight but no action was taken.

It was un derstood tonight that there is no I resent intention of taking up in thn (house committees any of the various resolutions and bills relating to the food situation, the chairmen of the committees taking the position that action on them would accomplish no good end. “The present situation.” said Rep resentative I over tonight, “strongly emphasizes the necessity for putting into operation all kinds of machinery ■to increase foodstuffs, hut I think 1 here is no possibility of a famine." Secretary Houston has written a letter to iKcpneneotatlve Karr predict ing a great extension' of acreage planted In grain the coining season. “Our farmers.” the secretary wrote, "are capable of producing very much more foodstuffs tflian they have heretofore produced.
