accomplished by the Italian, Russian
and English bluejackets, who saved
many persons who otherwise would
have inevitably persisted.
Queen Visits Wounded.
The queen spent the day in the
wards Of improvised hospitals, visit
ing the wounded, many Of whom lost
lost all that was dear to them. Her
majesty did her best to cheer them
with womanly words Of consolation,
often breaking into sobs as she lis
tened to their dreadful tales Of suffer
ing. The king left for Reggie last
night.
Catania, the largest city nearest to
the zone Of the disaster, is crowded
with refugees, and the continuous
stream Of fugitives coming in, the
sight of the wounded and repetition of
real or imaginary earthquakes have
so alarmed the population that they
are cecoming uncomfortable. There
is no longer any place where the refu-
gees may find shelter
American Consul Dead.
The government is finding difficulty
in ascertaining the fate Of the many
foreigners who were in the earthquake
zone at the time Of the catastrophe,
inquiries concerning whom are coming
from all quarters of the globe The
commander Of the battleship Admiral
Kharoff, which arrived with fugitives
at Naples yesterday, confirms the re-
port Of the death of the American con-
sui at Messina, Arthur S. Cheney, and
his wife, who were buried in the ruins
Of the consulate. The number of
Americans in Sicily and Southern
Italy is believed to be small, and sew
eral Of them are reported to have
been staying at Taermina, which is
on the east coast, about thirty miles
southwest of Messina. According to
the latest reports this place suffered
no harm from the earthquake.
Frances Token of Love.
All the sovereigns and the heads of
states Of the foreign governments
have sent expressions of warmest SYM
pathy and deepest coincidence
Frances message was especially warm
and she is dispatching five warships

from Toulon to Messina, which is hail
ed as a token Of love from sister
race.
The minister of marine last night re-
ceived word that the steamships Taor-
nina and Campania, laden with $1,000
beds and large supply Of provisions,
had left Genoa bound for Messina.
Other steamers also beautifully stock
ed are on their way to the stricken
cities from various ports.
Half Clad and Starving.
The dispatches from the stricken
zone say that large army would be
required to cope with even the press
ing needs of the unfortunate people,
who are roaming about half clad and
starved, some of them dragging arti-
cles of clothing from the smoldering
ruins to protect themselves from the
piercing winds. Terrible suffering is
inevitable before the much-needed re-
lief stores can arrive.
The rescue parties, military, naval
and civil, of different nationalities are

filled with lamentations; pictured on
the countenance Of all is grief for the
destruction Of two beautiful regions
Of the mother country where thou
sands now lie dead.
King supervlses Work.
King Victor Emmanuel has been In
defatigable. He has shown wonder
full activity and endurance, leaving no
point in Messina unvisited. He has
supervised the entire work in the fall
en- city, and the presence Of his mai
esty has infused new courage and en-
ergy into the rescuers, hungry and
wounded as they are.
A touching feature Of the material
aid offered by all classes Of the peo-
pie in Rome is the donation of cloth
ing and bedding, which the .workmen
are freely giving. Reports from all
parts Of Italy indicate the same gen.
erous spirit. The king has placed the
royal palaces at Naples and Deserta
at the disposal of the injured.
Garry Refugees Away.
Vessels loaded with refugees con.
tinue to stream into Naples and Paler-
mo, and each day sees the arrival Of
additional steamers in the Strait Of
Messina. 1t Is the governments in
tention to remove all the survivors
possible to the various ports in Italy.
AS an instance Of his quick grasp
Of the situation, King Victor Emman-
uel soon after his arrival at Messina
wired to Premier Giolitti: Send ships
and men; above all, send ships loaded
with quicklime."
Burn and Bury Dead. O
So far as has been possible, quick
lime has been used on the dead!
many bodies have been burned and
others buried In the relief work the
officers and men of the foreign war
ships have been untiring and their
courage is beyond words. The crew
Of the British cruiser Drake gave up
everything they possessed for the ben
eft of the refugees, and practically
forgot rest and sleep for more than
thirty-six hours in their devotion to
duty.
Reports are published that it is the

Blind Migratory Fish.

Few anglers are aware of the not in.
Considerable number of sea trout and
almOn that are totally or nearly
Ind. 1t is no rare occurrence for
ne bailiff when stepping into the
coop box to find that all the fish do
not frantically scatter about his feet.
There are salmon and sea trout
which lie perfectly still until touched,
These when examined are found to
having grown over their eyes a scaly
covering like the shell of a pea that
has been boiled.
There can be no doubt that the fish
)hich have their eyes completely en-
elOped by this shell are totally blind.

SIS in sea trout and salmon no
doubt partly accounts for long So

performing prodigies, but the task be-
fore them is almost hopeless.
Search Dust for Food.


Added to the difficulty of obtaining
food and water, there are no drugs or
surgical appliances. Heart-breaking
appeals for help are heard On every
side, to which only the most made
quate response is possible. Temporal
ry hospitals are being rugged up, but
only a comparatively few can be re-
lieved and the scenes of horror defy
description. The survivors OF the
earthquake are suffering cruel extrem-
tiles, and in Messina may be seen
everywhere, vainly searching in the
dust and debris for morsels Of food.
Many Villages in Ruins.
Later dispatches state that the city
Of Palmi contains 1900 dead and twice
as many injured. Two-thirds Of the
town was laid waste. All the villages
adjacent suffered as severely.
Dispatches from Catania describe
Messina as appearing like a huge in
candescent furnace. The fire spread
to the buildings that had not yet fallen,
completing the work Of destruction.
The Strait Of Messina is now choked
with corpses Of men and animals.
PiIlage and Looting.
The relief work now Is we'll begun,
but hundreds of persons are wander
ing about the ruins like madmen. They
are being given food and clothing as
fast as it is possible.
At the ministry Of marine word has
been received that frightful looting
and pillage occurred at Reggie. This
place, already overwhelmed, will have
few survivors, as it has been impossi-
BILE for the relief expeditions to reach
it.

Rome, Jan. I. - The immensely of
Mondays earthquake in Southern
Italy and Sicily can only be measured
by the fact that it is now estimated
that 115,000 people persisted in Mes
sina and Reggie alone. A number of
other towns have been devastated and
thousands Of victims in these places
must be added to the roll. In the
face Of these awful totals all Italy
stands appalled,.
Nor has the full death list yet been
reached. Shiploads of fugitives have

ment was made that the Lipari ISL

disappeared with their population Of
$4,000, suffered little or no damage
from the earthquake. Public opinion
is seriously concerned with regard to
the safety of the king and queen and
the possible danger from tottering
walls.
Queen Refuses to Leave.
The king frequently has tried to
persuade the queen to rest or return
to Rome, but she always refused, de-
claring that it would break her heart
to abandon her husband in his labors
for the country in it's anguish.
