(Received October 11, noon.) ALGIERS, October 10. The Spanish liner Cabo Santo Tome (12,589 tons) is ashore and ablaze off the Algerian coast with one of the crew dead and eight injured after being shelled for an hour by two insurgent destroyers.

The vessel was beached and the survivors taken off in a tug. The Cabo Santo Tome was on a voyage from Russia. It is not known if she carried passengers.
