AWFUL SCENES AT MESSINA
Vandalism of Worst Kind Follows
Catastrophe.

Rome, Dec. 30.-The disaster in
the province of Calabria and the ISL
and of Sicily has assumed staggering
proportions. Messina alone reports
10000 victims, but it is feared that
this is only partial list of the dead
and wounded. Reports are coming in
from other towns giving estimates of
dead therein from 500 up to several
thousand.
Vandalism of the worst kind has
broken out and the government has
adopted the most energetic and most
severe measures for its repression.
Robbers and looters are shot on sight.
The prison at Messina collapsed.
Some of the prisoners were killed, but
the survivors made their escape and
Joined the 'hooligans" who We're sack
ing the city Such confusion reigned
that the robbers met with no resist
ance. The local chief of police lies
dead in the ruins of his office.
The barracks at Messina were de-
molished. The commander of the
troops was killed outright and there
are many victims among the enlisted
men.
The robbers pillaged the ruins of
shattered buildings and 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-fir
robbery, dead and dying on every
side, the city In the utmost confusion
ard the people panic stricken and un-
der a spell of terror.
The finest palaces, churches and
theaters of Messina are heaps OF
ruins. Countless dead bodies are
scattered through the wreckage and
their decomposition will doubtless
bring pestilence to add to the horrors
of the situation.
The devastation over the entire dis
trict was more or less complete. No
part of the province of Reggio de
Calabria escaped The disturbance
was most severe along the shores OF
the Straits of Messina, where the cit
les of Messina and Reggie are situ'
ated. In more than one town the
shocks caused gas meters to explode
and disastrous fires resulted. The
flames helped greatly to swell the
death list.

with the volume of smoke pouring out

earthquakes which wrought such
havoc in Calabria and Sicily, but a
great eruption is not expected. Such
