taken late Wednesday from the ruins
In Messina after being held pinned down
In the wreckagc, unable 10 move, with
ont food or water, and exposed 10 the
wet and the cold for nine days. II waA
reported unlikely that the victim would
| live. He was the last found Of ten
taken out Wednesday. Almost all those
taken out living as lately as the past
few days have died within few hours
after their relief from entombment.
The quantities of food arriving now
in Messina have alleviated the hunger
Of the refugees still remaining ON the
scene Rations were reported Wednes-
day 20 be sufficient for the immediate
needs both of Messina and Reggie. Many
smaller places inland are still unrelieved,
none the lass, through the impossible
state of the mountain roads since the
upheaval
The vessels plying between Messina
and Naples continue to bear away refu.
goes, as fast as they can be carried from
the desolated city.
There are now Thousands Of Messina
and Reggie refugees in Genoa, Milan
and Rome, besides the great throng in
Naples. The, cities Of the north have
been called on to take their share of
the overflow for whom Naples could of
fer no sufficient refuge.
Millions in securities and largo sums
in currency were reported recovered on
Wednesday by Gen. Mazza in a search
for the strong boxes of the Messina
financial institutions. At the same time
great sums in securities are certain to
have been lost in Messina. The city was
accounted holder of S90000,000 in gov
eminent bonds alone. In the case of
many OF these missing securities IL will
be impossible for the owners, If surviv-
ing, ever to establish their claims.
Gen. Mazza, in command OF the relief
work, reports from Messina that in all
over 1900 persons have been taken out
living from among the ruins. Although
the probability of finding more impris.
oned survivors is increasingly small, the
work is to be continued, he states, un-
Ill survivors cease entirely to be found.
The latest tables place the total loss
Of life by the calamity of Dee. 2S at 1866,
900. Meesina alone, with its surround
ing commune, is found to have lost l0S,-
600 out Of a population OF somewhat
over 10000. Reggie and its commune,
it is estimated, lost 81 900 out Of $4,000
Inhabitants.
