Admiral Mirabello. the Minister Of Marine, left

The newspapers are reproducing the prophecy
Of Marilde Serao, which was printed in LES
Annales' week ago, in which, predicting the
destruction Of Naples and expressing Italy's con-
slant fear of natures upheaval she said:
day the city is beautiful. because God
wishes it. We believe her immortal but she IS
destined for death See you this mountain at
whose feet stretch beautiful villages bathed by
the sea. She viii destroy our city: she will be
our executioner. One day roars will come; con-
vulsions will shake the mountain; a frightfu
tempest will agitate the sea: flashes of lightning
will cover the heavens. and all Nature will COM

The German steamer Serapin came into
Naples at early hour this morning bringing
eight hundred refugees The wounded are ell
in the cabins and their condition is pitabIe. A
few of them have had their heads and limbs
bandaged, but many have not yet received medi-

coping with the fifty thousand persons expected
to arrive here tomorrow has addressed an an
peal 10 the local population asking the people OF
Naples to succor and give hospitality to the
unfortunates
Soon after the Serapin docked a gangplank
was lowered and few persons were allowed on
board The refugees were found sitting in iso-
lated groups. They gave evidence of great
mental depression, and physically they were ut
terly exhausted. They hardly spoke to one an
other, and seemed scarcely conscious of their
surroundings. Most of them were held In the
thrall of their terrible experiences.
One cid man was carrying little girl in his

in Messina. 1 picked her up and cared for her
No one claimed her. and l could not abandon
he-. I have had her in my arms ever since"
With this explanation the old man relapsed into
depressing visions of his experiences and be-
came oblivious to his questoner and everything
around him.
The Serapin brought into this northern port
records of numherless tragedies. Families sep
arated mothers moaning and crying for their
dead children. husbands and wives lost to each
other or a sole survivor wishing that he had

the German steamer. her clothing tattered and

REGGIO'S DESTRUCTION
To7cn Disappears in Silence, 800
COnrqcts Killed.

Monteleone. Calabra Dec 20-The tidal wave
which swept into Reggie flooded the city to q
depth OF thirty feet above sea level Some OF
the houses along the waterfront swept
from their foundations and dragged out to sea.
Twelve miles of the railroad near Reggie were
destroyed. A tempest added to the terror of the
scene
1t is said that Messina was blotted out to an
accompaniment of walls of anguish but Reggio
disappeared in silence.
A dispatch received here from Triporni says
that few Reggie survivors are wandering, nude
end demented. about the ruins of the city,
searching amessly for food.
Practically all the pupils of the Reggie Col
lege perished. The little villas on the heights
above the town alone escaped destruction. The
Castle Of Reggie is a heap of ruins.
The local prison collapsed. and all the eighteen
hundred convicts lost their lives

road station awaiting the arrival of a train
were crushed under the wreckage of the build

Paris, Dec. 3O.-A dispatch from Palermo says
that torpedo boat which went to the aid of
the earthquake sufferers at Reggie has re-
turned there and reported that nothing re-
manned Of the city except a heap of ruins. It
wes difficult to find the site of the city.
The ''Matin's' Naples correspondent says
that several torpedo boats were destroyed in
the harbor at Messina by the tidal wave, and
adds that many of the pretty villages between
Messina and Catania. where Theocrites laid the
scenes of his idyls, are ravaged. The 'Matin''
estimates the total number Of earthquake VIC

The Messa geries Martimes packet OrenoQue,
which arrived at Marseilles from Alexandria

morning, while steaming thirty miles outside OF
Messina, she experienced several formidable
shocks, the passengers being greatly alarmed.
The steamer passed within six hundred feet of
Messina, which was in flames. The city was
a vast heap of ruins, and there were no signs
Of life. More than three hundred vessels were
adrift and the sea was filled with wreckage.
