 Thousands of persons are stili buried alive in the ruins where they are suf- fering slow death by torture. The flames are still making their way slowIy over the devastated area In an inexorable advance. Imprisoned and pinfoned human beings, unable to ex- tricate themselves are being burned alive, others are dying of their iniu- ries. while many are starving. The streets are filled with confused masses of brick and mortar, beams, furniture chimneys and roofs.
 Tn many cases the streets appear as enormous crevasses twisted into fan tastic shapes. The celebrated Avenue Palazzati. which runs along the sea front from the University to the post ofacs. is quite impossible. All the public monuments there have entirely disappeared.
 Water pipes. sewers and gas pipes of the city have been destroyed and water and filth are flooding the torn streets.
 Gas explosions occur frequently and resuIt-fn the breaking out of scores of small ilres.
 For several hours after the first destructive shock Messina was abso- Iutely without organized relief for the reason that the municipal authorities. the soldiers. the police and the doctors by the hundred were either buried or drowned. .
 The first work of rescue was per formed by volunteers from ships in the harbor and groups Of survivors who who great labor and personal danger, extricated many persons pinioned be- meath the wreckaGe.

The wounded refugees present sick ening sight. Some appear hardly hu- man. others among the fugitives have no apparent injuries. but are in de- plorable mental condition.
 On the relief ships the refugees were heaped everywhere. Some of them ap- near to be stricken with a kind of idfocy. looking aimlessly before them; others completely mad. howl wildly.
 The commander of the Therapie gives a thrilling description of the rescues ef- fected by his men when his ship arrived at Messina under instfuctions to convey the survivors to Naples Twenty diff ferent confiagrations were raging. As ths vessel drew up before the city 1t yyas surrounded by a hotilla of boats and tugs loaded to the gunwales with men and women who piteously cried for food and drink for they had had noth- tnsr for twenty-four hours.
 On entering the port a tremendous elanor met their ears. 1t was the sur vivors screaming for help. From the water front Messina appeared to be in taet. as the facades of the fine buildings along the streets still were standing. but behind was emptiness and ruin Tha principal square was an awe-insplrlng aspect.

EXTENT OF CALAMITY
 APPALLs THE WORLD

 Chicago. Dec. S0.--The Tribune to- day. under a Rome date, says:
 The earthquake which has devastat- ed the Italian States of Calabria and Sicily, has wrought the greatest trag- edy which ever has befallen the Chris tian world.
 It's measure cannot be calculated. It Is known ln general terms that out of a population of l.750.00o in the devas-' tated area at least 135.000 perisa, ed.
 Latest reports received here state that 4,o0O soldiers in the various bar racks at Messina were buried under the ruins. This makes no account of a dozcn towns near the center of the disturbance whence no word comes and whence there iB only too good a reason to fear that there are no sur- vivors to describe their fate. The de- struction of property cannot be as great as San Francisco for Messina and Reggios the two principal cities destroyed. were net rich or megnifl- cent from the metropolitan point of view.
 As a great cataclysm of nature, how ever, this disaster Is on a far. greater scale than the California phenomenon. The whole face Of the country and the coast line have besn altered. Even scylla and Charyb5is have changed the positions they have occupied since Aetna's legendary voyage.

 laconic telegram from some tele- graph operator in the zone of which Reggio was the center says:
 sKegxio has been almost entirely destroyed. The local director of tele- graphs and the operators are dead Mes- sina and Reggie look like Pompeii."
 The prefect of Reggie. Signor orse. who was thought to have been killed, has reached . coast point in safety after twenty-four hours of fearful ex- perience The man could hardly talk but he. said iseggio had been almost entirely devasted. that the dead ran into the thousands and that the sur- Pounding villages also have been des- troyed.

 A Iaborer who escaped from Reggie relates that shortly before day break a. deafenfng noise like the roaring of hundred cannon was heard; This was followed by the subsistence of the entire lower portion of the city. At the same time the sea swept over the water front. The cathedral all tho municipal buildings, the barracks and the beautiful palaces that lined the Craso are now heaps of ruins. Screams of terror could be heard above the crash of falling buiidinKs.

BEGIN RESCUE WORK.
 Catania, Dec. 30r--King Victor Eman- uel and Queen Helena arrived at Mes sina today on board the battIeship Victoria Emanuel. They at once efn : parked and made their way into the ruined city,
 As soon as 1t was known that the King and Queen had come. crowds of the terror stricken populace swarmed around the royal party. prostrating uthemselves in the mud and crying aloud for pity. This reception was too much for the Queen who almost fainted. People wept from emotion when they saw the King and queen of Italy come ashore. The women threw kisses to her majesty. Both were practically cezried up the pier in the arms of their subjects.
 The presence of the King has acted as a general inspiration. Even the wounded found fresh strength when they learned His Majesty had come among them.
 An aged man. who had been aban- doned under a beam that apparently had crushed out his life, revived for e moment at the shouts of the greeting his hands and raised his head long enough to call out. Now I can die happy. Long life to the King" He then fell back and expired. \ Many terrible stories were told Go the King in connection with the work of reBcue His Majesty. however. lest little time in listening to a recital of He joined a rescue party and laboFed as unremittingly as the others He personally extricated Hev- sral injured persons pinned, under the ruins.
 The Queen quickly recovered her courage and followed the example of her husband. She devoted Ger atten~ ton principally to the little children. She rescued with her own hands a lie tie boy years of age. bleeding from many cuts and wounds and herself carried him to the dock. where she handed him over to members of the hospital corps.
 An overpowering stench is beginning, to rise from the ruins of Messina. Ten thousand soldiers will be required to bury the dead there. It was learned today that General Colli lost his life af
