fire bell was rung it was found that
the rope had been cut and when the
engine was taken out wheel immedi-
ately dropped. the tap having been
removed. The wood shed at the back
of the lot also burned and it is said
to have contained some vehicles. The
insurance is something like $500.

Syracuse, Sicily, Dec. 90.-Violent

here at $50 O'clock this morning. The

Five of $4,000 Survive.

49, - >S'SSS 49, - ~
Only five of the Aity's $4,000 inhabi-
tants have been accounted for. These
unhappy wretches reached Catanzaro
and Palmi half demented by fright.
They were scarcely able to talk in
telligibly, but their incoherent stories
were sufficient to confirm the fate oe
the city
One of them was mainly impressed
by having seen the sea cover the
cathedral. Others were deafened by
the roar of the sea and falling houses,
which they compare to the roar of
heavy artillery.
The government is Withholding the
news concerning Reggie for the pres
ent, hesitating to publish the appalling
tale until it Is fully confirmed.
Roll of Dead Grows Higher.
In view of this latest development
of the catastrophe the death roll may
well reach $4,000.
The ministry of marine has received
wireless reports of the obstruction OF
the strait of Messina, showing it's safe
navigation to be impossible until it is
recharted, while it's future navigation
is likely to be extremely difficult
The news has caused deep impress
sion here, for it's consequences from
commercial and military points of view
will be incalculable. The strait was
of great strategic Importance and the
government had spent immense sums
fortifying it.
1t now is anticipated that such forti-
fications as may be unchanged will be
useless. Moreover, the strait formed
the shortest route from Marseilles,
Genoa and Naples to Egypt and India.
II the strait is found useless voyages
to and from these countries will DC
heightened by many hours.
Other towns and villages on both
sides of the strait of Messina have
been leveled to the ground and nothing
but ruins are left to indicate where
they formerly stood
