MAGNITUDE of the tragedy of the South
of Italy is being brought nome to the
reonle % the North by the arrival
here of refugees, wounded ard dying
from Messina. Tne fact that dying
people have TO be brought such dis
lance for medical attention shows
the immensely of the diaster and the
inadequacy of the relief measures at
present possible.
The German steamer Serapin came
into Naples early this morning with
500 refugees. The wounded are all
in the cabins and tneir copoition is
pitiable.. 1t is expected that by tomer-
row morning fully $4,000 wounded
persons Will have made their way to
this city. The municipality, realizing
the difficulty OF coping with such
tremendous responsibilities, has ad-
dressed an appeal to the population
asking the people of Naples to succor
and give hospitality to tae unfortu-
nate Sicilians. Every means of trans
portation to move the wclndcd from
the harbor to the hospitals and in
firmaries is being made use of. but
still the conyeyances are insufficient

being prepared to serve as provision
