TO ASSIST IN RELIEF WORK
First Division Of BattIeship Fleet Or
dered to Naples.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The First divi-
sion of Admiral Sperry's battleship
feet has been directed to go to Ma
pies to assist in the relief work. The
remainder of the fleet is to be dis
tributed at various points on the
Mediterranean at Admiral Sperry's
discretion. None of the other Italian
ports are to be visited by the Amer
lean battleships.
The decision against the warships
visiting other Italian ports was on the
ground that it was inadvisable, In
view of Italy's great grief, to permit
the men to have entertainments or
shore leave there. Two of the battle
ships will go to Toulon, France, and
two others additional to the Ohio
and Missouri) will go to Turkish ports
This programme will not interfere
with the assembling of the fleet, as
originally contemplated, at Gibraltar
prior to their leaving for Hampton
Roads.
Starving Man on Car Tracks.
Minneapolis, Jan. 5.-Joseph Biers
was found lying across the rails of
street car track. The car motorman
| stopped just in time to prevent run
ming over the man. He was uncon-
scious and was hurried to the city
hospital, where it was found he was
suffering from starvation, having had
nothing to eat for four days. Circu-
lation In his hands and feet had
stopped and it is doubtful II he can
recover.

Further Quakes Predicted to
Occur in Italy.
MESSINA TO BE EVACUATED
Two-thlrds of Her Population of 15o,
900 People Are Dead and the City Is
q Complete Ruin-Loss of Life at
Reggie Placed at ,o0o-Sckening
Stenches Arising From Countless
Decomposing Bodies.

Messina, Jan. 5.-There is reason
10 believe that the devastation by
earthquake of Calabria and Sicily is
not yet at an end Further heavy
shocks have been predicted for Jan. Z
and Jan. s, when the relative position
of the sun and moon will produce the
greatest strain on the crust of the
earth. Several minor shocks were ex-
perienced Saturday and many totter-
ing walls were thrown down, but 1t
Is not known that any persons were
killed. The new quakes are starting
the fires afresh and the people are in
a condition bordering on panic.
Messina Is to be evacuated entirely
as soon as possible. The disposition
of the dead is one of the greatest
problems confronting the authorities.
Two days spent amid the ruins of
Messina and Reggie bring convincing
evidence that the horror of the situa-
ton in the Straits Of Messina has in
no sense been exaggerated.
Messina and Reggie have ceased to
exist. In the ruins of the former city
two-thirds of the inhabitants lie bur-
led, while at Reggie one-half the peo-
pie lost their lives. Messina counted
10000 and Reggie $4,000 souls.
Sickening stenches arise from the
countless decomposing bodies and the
air for many miles out to sea is pol
luted Vultures are congregating to
prey upon the dead.
The radius of ruin and death ex-
tends back with decreasing intensity
Tor forty miles on the mainland and
Tor thirty miles in Sicily.
The work of rescuing and transport
ing wounded and homeless survivors
Is attended with the greatest confu-
sion.

ters. He drew small revolver from

ESTIMATES OF DEAD VARY
Foreign Officers Place Total Higher
Than italian.

Naples, Jan. 5.-Foreign officers
who have explored the ruins on both
sides of the straits give higher esti-
mates of the loss of life than Italian
reports. They believe that 10000 per-
sons have either been killed or
trapped in the ruins of Messina and
10000 at Reggio, where the tidal wave
rose to double the height that it did
at Messina.

Message of President Asking for
Appropriation in Addition to Car
goes of Supplies Already on the
Way in Government vesseIs-Serv-
ices of Battleship Fleet Proffered.
Washington, Jan. 5. President
in message to congress,
asked for direct appropriation of
n, 100000 for the relief of the stricken
people In the earthquake zone of It
ally. This, the most generous fund
ever contributed by the American peo-
pie for succor of sufferers in other
lands, is to supplement the dispatch
Of the supply ships Celtic from New
York and the Culgoa from Port Said
TOR Messina with their big cargoes of
necsesaries, originally intended for
the American fleet diverted to the i'm
mediate use of the Italian victims. 1t
also supplements the presidents prof
fer of the services of the entire Amer
lean fleet of sixteen battleships, whose
use, in whole or in part, hinged only
On the acceptance or declination of
The Italian government. The message
was brief and both houses immedi-
ately enacted into law the recommen-
iations made. The message follows:
Text of the Message.
"The appalling calamity which has
befallen the people of Italy is fol-
lowed by distress and suffering
throughout wide region among many
thousands who have escaped with
life but whose shelter and food and
means of living are destroyed. The
ordinary machinery for supplying the
wants of civilized communities Is
paralyzed; and an exceptional emer-
gency exists which demands that the
obligations of humanity shall regard
40 limit of national lines.
"The immense debt of civilization
10 Italy; the warm and steadfast
friendship between that country and
Dur own; the affection for their ma
tive land felt by great numbers of
good American citizens who are Inn
migrants from Italy; the abundance
with which God has blessed us in our
safety: all these should prompt US to
immediate and effective relief.
Private Relief Generous.
Private generosity is responding
nobly to the demand by contributions
through the safe and efficient channel
Of the American Red Cross society.
Confident of your approval have
ordered the government supply ships
Celtic and Culgoa to the scene of dis
aster, where, upon receiving the au
.hority which | now ask from you,
they will be able to dispense food,
clothing and other supplies with
which they are laden to the value OF
about 100000 The Celtic has al
ready sailed and the Culgoa Is at Port
Said. Eight vessels of the returning
battleship feet are already under or
iers for Italian waters and that gov
srnment has been asked If their sery
ices can be made useful.
II recommend that the congress ap
prove the application of supplies
above Indicated and further appropri
ate the sum of 100000 to be applied
to the work of relief at the discretion
Of the executive and with the consent
of the Italian government"
