the Volcano of Strombold,

ROME, Nov. 2O.-The earthquake
shocks continue at MilaZZo, on the
north coas of the Island of Sicily and
the fact that the volcano of StrOmbOld
is nearly in a state of eruption is &C
cepted as proof that the disturbances
are of volcanic origin. The inhabitants
of MilaZZo continue in a state of the
greatest terror. They are living in
huts hastily erected in the fields. Else

Reports received from the province
of Reggie de Calabria aggravate the
number of deaths and the amount of
damage done. Two hundred corpses
have been extricated from the ruins of
houses at San Procopio, of which mum
Der forty eight bodies were found be
meath the ruins of the church. The
number of persons injured is said to be
enormous.
1t is estimated that the damage done
to buildings at Palmi, not counting the
loss incurred in furniture destroyed,
will an cunt to 1000, 900 lire. Fifteen
buildings collapsed entirely and 300
others are i~rreparably damaged. Every
house in the town has suffered more or
less and not n remains habitable. At
Palmi six persons were killed and over
300 were injured.
The communes of Delianova and
Polistena suffered equally, but no
deaths are reported. Eight persons
persisted, at Seminara and 200 people
were injured. The tombstones and
mortuary chapels in the cemetery of
Seminara were completely shattered
The villages of Barapoeri and Santa
were destroyed.
In Reggie itself, the postofice, pre-
lecture, town hall, court house and
prison were almost wrecked. Cases
were heard to day in the open yard at
tached to the court house and the
prisoners were placed on ships where
they will be kept until the prison is re
paired. y
