Rome.-There is every reason to be
pessmistic over the situation. At
Palmi 425 bodies have already been dis
covered. It is said the deaths at Bag
nara are 1000, at Sante Eufemia 1 500
and at Seminara 400.
On account Of the interruption of all
communications, no aid can be taken to
the wounded, who will die of cold and
injuries. Thousands are exposed TO the
rigors of winter without clothing.
Orso, the project of Reggie, sends the
following from Gerace Marina: AS a
result of the earthquake the town is
almost entirely destroyed. Many thou
sands are killed. The prefecture and
other public buildings are in ruins.
Other towns in the province are almost
entirely destroyed. Send help at once,
especially food and medicine, as the
town contains nothing"
A man who escaped to Catania from
Messina declares it is impossible to de-
scribe the spectacle presented. The
town is in ruins and reduced to mass
of smoking debris.
The greater part of the population
suffered 1t is necessary at once to
send food and the means Of stopping
the conhagration.
Medical men are urgently needed
The railway station collapsed, burying
the rolling stock and killing the per-
sonnet. The palaces are in ruins and
the streets so filled with debris as not
to be recognized. They are merely al
legs.
Amid the mass of destruction the
celebrated Palazzata on the harDor, the
university, the postoffice and all public
buildings are in ruins. The sewage
system was destroyed and for many
hours nothing could be done to give aid,
as the authorities of the garrison, the
police, medical men and citizens of all
classes are among the victims. First
assistance was rendered by sailors.
A dispatch from Trinchieri states the
dead number tens of thousands. The
wounded are dying of hunger and thirst.
Fire destroyed all that remained, spread
ing over the town.
Telegraph communication has been re-
established at Messina and Palermo,
where the wounded are beginning to ar
rive.
According to one dispatch from Roc
/ celia Jonics the deaths at Reggie are
10000.

WHOLE REGION IN RUINS.
Horrors Of the 0verpowering Catas-
trophe Are Unspeakable.

Naples.-Time only confirms the UNI
speakable horrors of the empowering
catastrophe. History perhaps never will
divulge its supremest individual TRACE
dies, for earth and sea ruthlessly claimed
thousands of human beings, and the
flames mercilessly completed the I'M
finished devastation.
Naples, vibrant with the memory of
Nesuvius, is Frustrated anew at the
misery and woe from Messina conflded
to her care. The hotels and homes are
crowded with refugees, and the people
are vieing with one another in aiding
the stricken.
Those who have explicit knowledge
on the subject agree that the center of
the cataclysm was the Strait of Messins,
which also is the center of the volcanic
zone, whose highest peak, Etna, is now
silent. From this base, the Telluric dis
turbance extended, abating little by
little, northely as far as Cape vaticano
and southerly as far as the Bay Of
Catania, ravaging the western region of
Calabria and the eastern coast of Sicily
for distance of nearly 100 miles.
1t is impossible TO ascertain the ex-
tent of the movement east and west in
the inland regions, but il is certain that
the beauty of one of the most charming
sections of Southern Italy has been ir-
reyocably despoiled. Vineyards are no
morei waving rows of lemon, orange and
olive trees have been torn up, and the
enchanting coast line, with its soft and
fragrant foliage, has been made into
desert Reggie, whose gay aspect. set
of the severity of the mountains, and
Palmi, perehed jauntily amid orange
and olive trees, have become mere blots
on the horizon.

and Messina alone at 10000.
Seventy thousand persons per-

caust, according TO dispatches re-
ceived by the minister of marine.
The total loss Of life is now
estimated by the minister ut not
less than 10000, and these fig

rather than diminished by later
reports from the affected dis
tricts.
Messina's population was 9o,-
