There was general rush to the squares and open places, accompanied by lamentations and shrleks of fear.
 Although late in the day the popula- tion invaded the churches and carried out the images of the saints and sacred vessels. then marched in 6 procession through the streets, imploring a cessa- tion of the earthquakes scourge.

Washington, Dec. so.-Baron Ed mendo Mayor Des Ranches, Italian Ambassador to the United States. to- night issued a proclamation to the Italian people In the United States, appealing to them for aid for their suffering countrynlen in the earthquake region.
 Following is liberal translation of the proclamation:
 Italians of America:
 The disasters of Calabria and Sicily must be in our souls thought of the great ancient mother country, deprived or So many of her sons; and the com piete sympathy brought by so many trials
 Members of one great family, let us show that the misfortune of our fell low countrymen is felt by us deeply and sincerely. Let us show this. not by vain lamentations. but by material as- sistance.
 4Italy has supported other grieyous trials and risen from them. So now again. thanks to the individuals and concord of her people and her august ruler. embarked as always in a pil- grimage of mercy. Italy VIII triumph over this blind fury of nature.
 Tt Is the quality of the strong to gather fresh energy from reverses. Upon the ruins of Messina and Reggie soon there will flourish again In the pride of new life cities more prosper ous and beautiful.
 The Italian nation is accustomed to blows and does not lie down under them.
 Meanwhile if in such a grave moment anything can soften the acute ness of our grief, it is the sympathy of the civilized world and the generous feeling of brotherhood manifested towards Italy. and the Italian people by the great American.
 '4In heartfelt sympathy,
