ROME, Dec. 29.-The disaster in the
province of Calabria and the island of
Sicily has assumed staggering proper
lions.
Each successive report received from
the stricken region makes it more APP
parent that the first stories of the wide
spread destruction were little, if any,
exaggerated.
Reports are coming in from several
smaller towns giving estimates of dead
from 500 up to several thousand in each
of them
Reggie still remains in its isolation.
1t is impossible to get word from the
stricken city, and the silence gives rise
to the most fearful apprehensions.
News has come from Messina, eight
miles north of Reggie, but no reliable
estimate of the dead there has been
made.
Vandalism of the worst kind has
broken out and the government has
adopted the most strict measures for
its restriction. Robbers and looters are
shot on sight
The prison at Messina collapsed, some
Of the prisoners being killed, but the
survivors made their escape and joined
the vandals who were sacking the city.
Such confusion reigned that the rob-
hers met with no resistance.
Police Chief Dead
The local chief of police lies dead in
the ruins of his office. The barracks
at Messina were demolished. The COM
mander of the troops was killed out
right and there are many victims
among the enlisted men.
The government last night sent Gen.
Teirrera di Cossatti, an army corps
commander, to take full charge of the
troops in the devastated territory.
One of the first moves will be to de-
clare martial law. The robbers pill
laying the ruins Of shattered buildings
even stole clothing and valuables from
! the corpses of the victims.
They were not deferred by the flames
that broke out in several sections of
the city, but took advantage of the
light for their vandalism.
The night in Messina was one of
horror indescribable-fire, robbery, dead
and dying on every side, the city in the
almost confusion and the people under
a spell of terror.
Troops Take Command
Troops began to put into Messina last
night, and this morning a number of
steamers arrived from the peninsula
with soldiers on board.
Patrols were at once organized and
efforts made to bring some order into
the situation.
Bands of citizens were formed and
helped heroically in the work of rescue.
Many courageous acts were per-
formed by soldiers and citizens alike,
and in some cases the rescuers them
selves lost their lives in trying to help
others.
Toward morning several of the worst
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-12-30

The work of rescue at Messina, ac-
cording to the meager details received
here tonight, presented narrowing
scenes. Hundreds of people were
pinned under walls and rafters alive.
One Of the rescuers found under the
ruins of house five children alive but
unable to speak, lying around the
corpse of their mother.
Heroic Resecuers Meet Death
In some cases heroic rescuers met
death in the falling debris
In one house twenty persons were
suspended on the fifth floor and unable
TO reach the street because the lower
floors had been torn away and We're
rescued with. a rope by sailor
Six criminals were killed while at
tempting to loot the Bank of Sicily,
where cash amounting to half NIL
lion dollars lay in plain view.
Latest reports received state that 1000
soldiers from the various barracks at
Messina were buried under the ruins.
The rock of Charybdis now blocks the
entrance to the Strait of Messina. The
tidal wave wrecked the lighthouse in
the strait, including Faro beacon, and
they crashed into the sea.
Some OF Latest Reports
Refugees from Messina to Palermo
say there were 100 foreigners in the
Hotel Trinacria, and that they all lost
their lives.

Fberated. 1t was one of the best in

Italians in CONSERVATION

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The earthquake
in southern Italy has thrown Chicago's
Italians into a state of CONSERVATION
and despair. The italian consulate was
overrun with frantic visitors, who
clamored for direct news of friends and
relatives, and several italian theaters
closed their doors. At the Bella Italia
favroite gathering place on Des
PLANES street, several hundred listened
while one of them translated the Eng
fish columns into Italian. His voice
was frequently drowned by cries and
sobs and the shrieks of historical
women.

Rheumatism causes more pair

most common of all ills, and it is
certainly gratifying to sufferers to
know that Chamberlain's Linimcnt

the relief fIom pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma

chronic rheumatism often brought
on by dampness or changes in the

be expected; the relief from pain
which this liniment affords is alone
