SURVIVOR TELLS TRAGIC STORY

CATANzARo, Calabris. Dec. so.-such
frarmentary news as has been received
from Reggie goes to confirm the previous
report that the city has been practically
obliterated. A laconic telegram from
some operator in the zone Of which Reggie
was the center says;
"Reggio has been almost entirely de-
stroyed The local director of kilograms
and the operators are dead. Messina and
Reggie look like Pompeii"
The perfect OF Reggie. Signor orso, who
was thought to have. been killed, has
reached a coast point in safety after
twenty-f four hours OF fearful experience.
The man could hardly talk, but he said
Reggie had been almost entirely devas-
tated. that the number Of dead ran into
thousands, and that the surrounding viii
lages also have been destroyed.

A laborer who escaped from Reggie re-
lates that shortly before daybreak deaf

cannon was heard. This was followed by
the subsidence of the entire lower portion
OF the city. At the same time the sea swept
over the water front. The cathedral, all

sieged all day with Italians asking If cables
have come for them and themselves send
ing messages of inquiry to their former
homes. Their anxiety is paralleled only
by the days following the San Francisco
disaster, when hundreds OF Omaha resi-
dents were worried about the fate Of rel
atives or friends in California. Only in
this present case the greater distance and
and the fact that this is still a strange
country to many of the Omaha Italians
makes their uncertainty all the greater
and their anguish the more keen.
Pathetic Effort to Read.
Many have bought American newspapers
who are hardly able to read English, and
their attempts to decipher the strange

who called on SalernO, Venuto or Piatti on
a similar mission.
Mr.. Salerno himself returned only a few
weeks ago from pleasure trip through the
stricken provinces. "The whole country
was smiling then" said he, and the con-
