Wide District, Gaining Headway All

Under Control.

Rome, Jan. 20.--IAte yesterday after
non the conHagration at Messina, which
threatened to sweep over the entire area
of the ruined city, was isolated after
the greatest efforts by the Italian sol.
diers and sailors, aided by large detach-
ments from the crews of the foreign
warships.
The duke OF Genoa had a narrow escape
from being buried under falling wall
while assisting in the work.
The flames consumed the bodies Of
many scores of victims Of the earth
quake which had not yet been extricated
from the ruins.
The flames are still burning, but are
under control
Messina, Jan. 20.--Frc yesterday
threatened to complete the work OF de-
struction here.
The flames broke out early yester-
day morning among the ruins near the
remains OF the city hall and the bank
OF Italy and spread so rapidly that the
large force Of men who were put at
work lighting the fire were unable to
check them
A large section Of the quayside walls
collapsed during the progress Of the fire.
The fire fighters worked at terrible dis.
advantages on account Of the lack of
water. and the fact that there are no
open spaces to check the progress OF
the flames.
large amount of yaluables Is known
to have been buried beneath the debris
and these are now irretrievably lost, as
the ruins contained much in1ammable
material.
London, Jan. 20.--A dispatch to the
Central News from Rome says that the
FIRE at Mcssina assumed grave proper
tions before 1t was finally put under
control
During the afternoon IT spread over
a large area, sweeping over the ruins
In the direction Of the water front and
devouring all inhammable material in
the district between the city hall and
the shore.
AT the end of the afternoon II threat
ened the vessels at the docks
The commanders of the foreign war
ships in the harbor sent large squads Of
men from their crews TO assist the Itsl-
ian soldiers ia the fight against the
fans. A strong wind, which changed
frequently in direction. blew across the
burning district all day, making the at
tempt to stop their progress very diff.
cult. The efforts Of the FIRE fighters
were therefore without any very appar
ent result for long time.

that senator cannot serve on two com.
