I'esidents in Cloudburst Zone Face
Serious Situation.
(By Cable to The Times)
Naples, Oct. 26 Famine and pes
tilence threaten (he unharmed resi
dents of lschia Island and the s:one
devastated by cloudburst, tidal wave
and volcanic eruption. The govern
nient received reports today from new
sections of the storm zone adding
new det ails to I he horror.
In some of the towns fluid mud
buries streets to a height, of 1 S feet.
In others streets have been com
pletely washed out, all the 'buildings
falling.
Further means of communication
were established today. The towns
chiefly damaged are Casamicciola,
Laceo, Ameno, Positano, Torre Del
Grace, Peccina, Port id, and Cetaria,
Today between DO and 100 corpses
had been recovered. Official advices
to Rome led the home office to set
the number of dead at 200, although
this estimate is believed to be far too
conservative.
. Mrs. '.Gibson, mother of Charles
Dana Gibson, is at lschia. She is
believed to be safe.
The minister of inariue was mob
bed at lschia by the -hunger-crazed
people, who had everything swept
away. Tents and foodstuffs have been
sent by ship.
The bulk or the -residents of the
island are showing the same panicky
fear as those in Messina at the time
of the great earthquake. The soldiers
who were ordered to do relief work
have had a serious task in keeping
the pnnicjstricken people in check.
Practically all crops have been de
stroyed. The pope has contributed
a sum to buy food and clothing and
the government is expected to donate
a large amount.
King Victor-was expected to go to
lschia today. .
