CARING FORJIlt VICTIMS
Rationa, Clothing, tents , and Other
Supplies Are Pouring in and the
Hungry and Injured Are Being
Cared For.
Rome, By - ebfWhat . chiefly
eonoerns the government and the peo
pie is the progress that is being
made, towards the relief of those who
have suffered by the dreadful earth
quake in southern Italy and Sicily.
Considerable advance in this respect
has been made at Messina, where, ac
cording to reports received here, the
supply service is beginning to work
satisfactorily. The different regions
on the coast have been allotted to
various "warships and other ships as
centres f rom which "torpedo .boats'
and launches convey and. distribute
rations and water to the different
villages, v
The Minister of Justice has wired
from Messina to Premier Giolitti
that large bodies of troops have ar
rived and are now occupying all parts
of the town. The -appalling extent
of the diaster renders anything like
a systematic search of the ruins is
impossible, but persons are being
dragged out all day long and are
quickly transported to the relief ships
ag soon as their wounds have receiv
ed attention. ;
The appalling message came on
New Year 'Day that the Ripari Is
lands which lie just north of Sicily
had gone down with its 23,000 inhab
itants, but a messenger boat sent to
learn the facts has returned with the
news that the islands are but little in
jured. Only the cracking of build
ings make any real damage.
Estimates of Death List.
Rome, By Cable. Estimates of the
death roil of the earthquake now
cease to concern the Italian people.
It is enough to know that the catas
trophe -is . overwhelming figures
Would add nothing to the grief of the
stricken nation, nor move to greater
efforts those upon whom the work of
relief and. rescue has fallen.
Every channel open to the govern
ment has been utlized to this end,
and other nations have been quick to
come to its assistance, even before
the cry for aid went up. Shiploads
of fugitives have been carried out of
the stricken rone to ITaples, Palermo,
Catania and other ports, and accord
ing to the Minister of Marine, rescue
Vessels to the number of 36 are now
centered in the Strait of Messina,
and 5,000 soldiers are being landed
on the two coasts,.
Most important qf -all now is the
question of the living. Thousands of
those who escaped the falling walls
and the sweep of the tide are starv
ing and without clothes or shelter
They can scarcely longer survive
their sufferings. The first thought
has been to carry food and covering
for these helpless people, and it has
now been decided, by the government
to send a fleet of emigrant steamers
to transport them to other places.
Professor Ricco,' director of the ob
servatory at Mount Etna, states that
his instruments have recorded 42" dis
tinct shocks after the first, but that
during the last 14 hours they , have
been almost motionless. Etna ' and
Stromboll are now quiet and he is
certain -that the earthquake was not
of volcanic but of geographical orig
in, similar to that of. 1873.
The horror of the situation at Mes
sina and Reggio grows with every
fresh dispatch. One qf the correspon
dents plaees the death roll through
out the entire .territory as high' as
300,000, but this appears to be ex
treme. -Others make their estimate
200,000. but the official estimate as
made by the Minister of Marine still
holds to 115,000.,, :r:

STR0MB0UVIOLENT
Eruptions Attended by Earthquake
' dtisens in Panic But Little In
jury Dom Rescue Work in the
Strlckaa Regions as Seen One
Week Later.
Borne, By Cable. A violent earth
shock running north-southwest and
eaafcnortbeast, lasting three seconds,
Sunday and during which the Strom
soli volcano began eruption, occurred
in gtromboli island Sunday.
The phenomenon was accompanied
by. prolonged dull rumblings. The
houses on the island were badly dam
aged and the populace fled to the
streets in panic, but no one was hurt.
The weather is intensely cold on
Stromboli island. ,
The system of rescue work in
Messina has-been greatly augmented
by the arrival of troops, who are to
be seen all over the ruined city in
squads of twenty and thirty, pat
rolling day and night. Bodies of
tltem also are working in the ruins by
djynd until weH into the night.
The movement of refugees frcr
the villages is daily increasing in
volume. Of the victims buried under
the ruins few have been rescued
alive.
It is now clear that the enormous
number of casualties in Messina was
due to the suddenness with which the
first shock came, giving but little
time to the people to escape from
their homes. The tidal wave was not
so high as was at first reported, and
would have done little daxage had it
not been preceded by the earthquake.
The damage done by fire was com
paratively insignificant.
The. first earth shock last Monday
morning literally threw down the city
and almost every street was
completely buried under the walls
that had fallen, furniture and other
debris, practically cutting off every
avenue of escape.
Then came the tidal wave to in
undate the city and the living and
dying were caught like rats and
drowned or had their brains dashed
out by being thrown by the rushing
waters against piles of masonry and
rubbish.
Far greater havoc was wrought in
Messina than was believed when the
Associated Press correspondent first
passed around , the outskirts - with
Frank Ferret, if Brooklyn, N. . Y
assistant director of the observatory
on Mount Vesuvius. - During this tour
a most critical examination was made
of the American consulate. It is a
complete ruin nothing but a heap
of Crumbling and crushed stones,
withput semblance ' of its original
shape. It is most doubtful if the res
cuers will be able to recover the
bodies buried beneath, the debris for
a few tlays, but every effort to do
so will be tnadr- The French and
Turkisjr consulates also were razed
completely, and it i seems almost im
possible - that ' any of ; their inmates
could have escaped.' " .

yet he has found time to visit the

Although the air in Messina is

ties to move away.
Upon the arrival of 1,500 wound
ed from Medina and Reggio, Mayor
is a than .telephoned the Vatican ask
ing whether theSe unfortunates could
be taken in there. The Vatican re
plied in the affirmative and the
wounded were received with open
arms.
The first 120 of the wounded sent
to the Vatican wereeceived at the
railroad staton by Monsignor Mis
catelli, sent especially by the Pope.
Some of them were taken to the Vat
ican in public conveyances, but the
more greviously injured were carried
on stretchers by the Red Ctom. They
w.-; received in the Vatican pre
cincts by the nursing sisters.
The Pope could not restrain his
desire to bring them consolation, and
sought them out. He passed through
the basilica of St. Peter's over the
arch connecting the basilica with the
hospital. Although he did not ac
tually set foot on Italian territory,
he in reality went outside that area

and returned to the ambassador $2,
