Sicilia, Lazzarro and Cannitello and all other communes and villa ges bordering on the straits are in ruins. The King and Queen of Italy are now on their way to Messina, havinor sailed to-night from Naples aboard the battleship Vittorio Em- manuele. The Pope has shown the great est distress at the calamity ar.d he himself was the first to contribute a sura amounting tn hvi rwi 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 reached Sicily. Officers and men of these ships have performed heroic service in the work of res cue. It is feared that many foreigners have been killed as a number ofjor who are iMiiag taluuvcara of at the hotels at Messina and doubtless at other places were crowded with tourists. Little is known of the fate of the diplomatic representatives of the foreign powers stationed at these ports, although the Italian government is using every effort to relieve the anxiety felt on their account. Messina and Catania, in Sicily, are the two largest cities that have suffered in this earthquake. Mes sina has a population of about 100, 000, while Catania has about 140, 000 people. Messina is on the west side of the Strait of Messina near the narrowest part. Catania is south of Messina oxTLthe east Reggio 19 the capital of the Pro v- ince of Reggio di Calabria, and the population is about 50,000. This city is on the east side of the strait not far from Messina. Riposto is in Sicily, 10 miles southwest from Taormina. It has a population of something over 7,000. The other towns mentioned in to-day's dispatches are in Calabria. Bagnara is 16 miles northeast of Reggio, and has a population of 7,500. Cosenza is the capital of Cosenza Province in a commune that has 21,(XK) inhabitants and 34 miles to the north is Cassano with 6,700 people. (Palmi is 20 miles to the north of Reggio and has a population of something over 10, 000, while San Giovanni, with a population of 12j000, is 25 miles east of Cosenza. Rome, Dec. 29.; Stunned at the magnitude of the calamity which has overtaken their fellow country men, all Italy mourns to-night for the stricken Province of Calabria and the island of feicily.
