THOUSANDS BEING
BURNED ALIVE.

Catatiia,, Dec. 30.-One OF tho Messinn8
survivors says that only q small pro-
portion Of the population escaped.
Thousands OF Imprisoned and pinioned
human beings, unable to iextracate
themselves are being burned alive, 9TH
aers dying of their injuries, while many
are starving. The streets are filled
with confused masses OF brick and NOR
tar, beams, furniture. chirnneys and
roofs. In many cases the streets ap-
pear as enormous crevases, twisted into
fantastic shapes. The celebrated
Avenue Palazzatl, which runs along the
sea front from the university to the
postoffice, is quite impossible. All the
public monuments that were there have
entirely disappeared. All the water
pipes, sewers and gas pipes Of the city
have been destroyed, and water and
filth are flooding the streets. Gas ex-
sploslons occur frequently and result In
the breaking out of scores of small
fires.
For several hours after the first de-
structive shock Messina was absolutely
without organization relief for the rea-
son that the municipal officials the sol
iiers, the police, doctors and nurses,
by the hundreds, We're either buried or
drowned.
The first work OF rescue was per-
formed by volunteers from ships IN the
harhor and groups of heroic survivors, ~,
who at great labor and personal daI NJ
ger, extricated many persons pinioned
beneath the Wreckage
Messina's crying need today is for
doctors, clothing and food and fremen
are being hurried into the wrecked city,
but the lack OF food and water makes
the work Of rescue difficult. The Rus
sian and British warships at Messina
have sent crews ashore and the vessels
have been transformed into hospitals.
All, the hospitals in Catnnia are
crowded and even the schools have
been converted into inflrmaries.

viSors OF NTessina are being dispatched

several corps of volunteers for rescue
ii is asserted that half the fatalities
occurred because it was quite impos-,
sib1e for the survivors to render prompt
assistance. Not the least OF the suf-i
fering was caused by the downpour Of
cold rain.
Some OF the refugees from Messina
passed through San GIOVANNI, uaimi,
Scilla, Cannitello, avizzaIla. and Bag
nara and found practically every one of
the villages destroyed. 4

docks seemed suddenly to be thrown

the dock and was left hanging there.
by tho r-eceding waters. This was the
first intimation to the crew that any
thing had happened. The captain says
q huge cloud of dust obscured the city.
With dawn his men landed and tried
to make their way into the city but
the fallen buildings in the streets made
progress impossible.
