Rome, By Cable.—One hundred
thousand dead; Messina in Sicily, and
Reggio and a score of other towns in
southern Italy overwhelmed; the en
tire. Calabrian region laid waste, this
is the earthquake's record so far as
is at present known from the reports
that are coming slowly into Rome on
account of the almost complete de
struction of lines of communication
to the fltricken places.
Tha death list in Messina ransres
frcm 12,000 to 50,000; that of Reggio,
which with its adjacent villages num
bered 45,000 people, includes almost
the entire population. At Paimi, \ r
000 are reported dead; at Cassano 1,-
000; at Coßcnza .000, and half of
the population. of Bagbara, about 4,-
000. Tbe Monteleone region has been
devastated, and Riposo, Seminars,
Snn Giovanni, Scilia, Lazzarro and
Cannitello and all other communes
and villages bordering on the straits
are in ruins.
The King and Queeu of Italy are
now on their way to Messina, having

tleship Vittorio Emmanuelc.
The Pope has shown the greatest
distress at the calamity and he him
self was the first to contribute a sum
amounting to $200,000 to the relief
of the afflicted.
British, French and Russian war
ships are steaming toward the south
and already several of the ships of
Great Britain and Russia have reach
ed Sicily. Officers and men of these
ships have performed heroic service
in the work of rescue.
It is feared that many foreigners
have boen killed us a number of the
hotels at Messina and doubtless at
other places were crowded with tour
ists.
Little is known of the fate of the
diplomatic representatives of the
foreign powers stationed at these
ports, ulthough the Italian govern
ment is using every effort to relieve
the anxiety felt on their account.
Messina and Catania, in Sicily, are
the two largest eitjes that have suffer
ed in this earthquake. Messina has
a population of about 100,000, while
Catania has about .140,000 people.
Mossina is on "the west side of the
strait of Messina near the narrowest
part. Catania is south of Messina
on tho east coast of the island.
Reggio is the capital of the Prov

Riposto is in Sicily. 10 miles south
west from Taormina. It has a pop

The other towns mentioned in the
dispatches are in Calabria. Bagnara
is 16 miles northwest of Reggio and
has a population of 7,500. Cosenza
is the capital of Cosenza- Province in

DEATH TO HUNDREDS
Results from a Severe Earth

Kujr Team
Rome, By Cable.—The three prov
inces of Cosenza, Catauzaro and Beg
gio di Calabria, comprising the De
partment of Calabria whieh forma
the southwestern extremity of Italy,
or "tbo toe of the boot," were de
vastated Monday by an earthquake,
the far-reaehing effects of which were
felt almost throughout * the entire
country.
The Town of Messina, in Cieily.
was partially destroyed ( and Catania,
was inundated.
Tn Messina bind reds of houses
have fallen and many persons have
been killed. Owing, however, to the
fact that tcleptaphic and teiephunie
communications were almost com"
pletely destroyed, it is impossible to
obtain even an approximate estimate
of the vast damage done.
The fate of entire regions within
the zone of the earthquake is un
known but reports received hero up
to a late bour Monday indicate that
the havoc h»B been great and the de
struction to life and property more
terrible than Italy has'experienced in
many years. The uncertainty of the
situation for many thousands has fill
ed all Italians with the deepest dis
tress, for they still have fear that the
day may come when that part of the
country which seems to have been
most blessed by nature will be de
stroyed by the blind forces of that
same nature whieh nearly nineteen
centuries nj*o overwhelmed Pompii
and Hereulaneum.
All reports show that the present
catastrophe embraces a larger area
than the earthquake of 1005.
The tidal wave which followed
the earth shocks on the eastern const
of Sicily sunk vessels and inundated
tly> lower part of Catania. It is
known that a number of people were
killed at that place, but the rushing
waters rarri«d everything before
•hem r.nd caused such an indescriba
ble confusirn that it will be impos
sible for some time to estimate the
damage and tl,e lives lost.
For a period the Town of MPKS'-
na and tiie whole province of Rrsttrio
\verr> for.i|>l >telv isolnted throneb in
terruptions to the telepraph nnd tel*'-
nhone rrd landslides that- obstructed
the railways. Absrl'itel*' nofhiv?
was heard firm Reirrio -thioughout
the dav while* the first news from
Mewina r.nme in the form of a dis
natch which a torpedo boat, flying at
full speed along the coast of the pen
insula, carried from point to point
always finding the wires down, until
it reached Nicotera, where the tele
graph lines were found to be intact.
From thij point the dispatch was
sent. It briefly stated that the sit
was-clespefatejnd after sum
marizing the immensity "of
trophe ended with the announcement
that Captain Passino, commander of
the local station of torpedo boats,
was buried nnder the debris after
having with other officials performed
heroic work in trying to save others.
The Itlaian government proceeded
energetically to relieve the far
spreading peneral distress, concen
trating at the points of greatest need
troops and engineers. Members of
the Red Cross were despatched to
various places, and camps with pro
visions were immediately prepared,
all available railway lines and war
ships being used for their transport.
The City of Messina has suffered
probably more than any other place,
the latest information ronrng indi
rectly from that quarter stating tha'
two-thirds of the town was destroyed
and sevawl thousand p?r~ons killed.
The steam era-Washington and Mon
