ESTIMATES OF DEAD VARY
Foreign Officers Place Total Higher

mates of the loss of life than Italian
reports. They believe that 80, 900 per

rose to double the height that it did

Signor de Nava, q Reggie member
Of the Italian chamber of deputies,
has personally traversed most of the
earthquake region on both sides of
the straits. He estimates the total
death roll at $4,000 and the wounded
at 10000. OF the dead Signor de
Nava calculates that $4,000 are at
Messina, $4,000 at Reggie and 1000

.uESSINA TO Be EVACUATED
IWo-thirds Of Her Population Of
10000 Dead and the City
a Complete Ruin.

Messina, Jan. 4.-There is reason
to believe that the devastation by
earthquake Of Calabria and Sicily is
rot yet at an end. Further heavy
shocks have been predicted for ] an. 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 it
Is not known that any persons were
killed. The new quakes are starting
the fires afresh and the people are in
q 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 eue-half the peo-
pie lost their lives. Messina counted
100000 aid 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

sion.

Plans for Rebuilding Messina and
Reggie Discussed.

Rome, JAM; 6.-Plans for the re-
building of Reggie and Messina al
ready are being discussed in detail.
but especially with regard to the lat
ter place, which is the second city of
Sicily. It Is estimated that about
$15,0v0,000 will suffice to rebuild Mes
sina for $4,000 inhabitants, making it
q commercial and maritime center. It
will take about ss,00o,000 to rebuild
Reggie for $4,000 people. In any event
many years must elapse before the
thoroughly terrorized populations can
be induced to return to live in the
stricken territory.
Another project is to transfer Mes
sina Professionally to Milazzo, a small
town near the ruins of Messina on the
north coast of the island.
It has been decided to reconvene
the Italian parliament on Friday or
Saturday of this week to consider
remedies and measures to cope with
the existing situation in Calabria and
Eastern Sicily. Three members of
the chamber of deputies persisted in
the earthquake. A bill will be pre-
scented setting forth that all people
who were in the stricken cities and
towns who have not been found at the
expiration of three months shall be
considered dead.
The pope visited the wounded in the
Vatican hospital, accompanied by Dr.
Giuseppe Petacci, his private physi-
clan, and heard the doctors opinion
on each case.

Messina, Jan. Garth shocks are
continuing here, although they are
diminishing in intensity. At night,
especially, are they frequently felt.
The fires in the city also are being
gradually extinguished.
The Official figures compiled thus
far show that $4,000 bodies have been
buried in four cemeteries. that 5000
refugees have left the city and that
5000 persons still remain here.
Instead of excavating In an en-
Tdeavor to find the bodies buried be-
meath the ruins It has been proposed
that every house in which It is be-
Meved persons are buried shall be-
covered with Quicklime.

being taken from beneath the ruins.
while the voices Of others can be dis

war says that the forts around Mes
sina, which contain tons of powder
and millions Of cartridges, have not

he was at Messina at least $4,000 per-
sons were taken from the ruins, in
jured and uninjured, of which number
1000 were saved by the Russians and
1000 by the English sailors.
The Italian navy has sent 600 tons
Of provisions to the affected district.
All the treasure found has been placed
aboard the warships. One pocketbook
was picked up containing $4,000 and
much clothing has been found at Mes

tay that twenty looters were shot

Six thousand persons already have
left there and 5000 more will leave at

Ceased, as There Is No Expectation
Of Finding Any One Alive.
Rome, Jan. 6.-Dispatches received
from Messina and Reggio indicate
that although the situation is in some
respects better fresh complications
have arisen. Typhoid fever has
broken out at Messina. The lack Of
pure water and the increasing pollu-
ton of the air causes the physicians
In charge Of the Red Cross work to
fear an epidemic. The medical adj
ministration in conference with the
government authorities are consider
ing the compulsory removal of all the
living in the destroyed cities. The
work of searching under the ruins
has almost ceased because there is no
expectation of finding any one alive
The earth tremors continue, causing
fresh apprehension among the al
ready painfully affected survivors and
the workers from outside.
The prompt dispatch of part of
the American battleships with the
feet commander, Rear Admiral
Sperry, to offer aid in the earthquake
relief work has added to the public
feeling of appreciation and gratitude.
Word has come that Admiral Sperry
has opened fund for the sufferers
and that the men of the fleet are con-
tributing generously.
The catastrophe Is almost wholly
italian, few foreigners being among
the dead. The American embassy
and Americans who have gone to the
scene either as volunteers in relief
work or as correspondents have not
found any further: Americans among
the victims.
