AN EPIDEMIC FEARED.
Typhoid Fever Has Already Broken
Out at Messina.

Rome, Jan. 5t-The prompt dispatch
of a part of the American battleships
with the fleet commander, Rear Admi-
raj Sperry, to offer aid to the earth
quake relief work has added to the
public feeling of gratitude. Word has
come that Admiral Sperry has opened
fund for the sufferers and that the
men of the fleet are contributing gen.
erOusly.
Descriptions received today from
Messina and Reggie indicate that al
though the situation is in some re-
spects better, fresh complications have
arisen.
Typhoid fever has broken out at
Messlna. The lack of pure water and
the increasing pollution of the air
cause the physicians in charge of the
Red Cross work to fear terrible cpl
demic. The compulsory removal of all
the living in the destroyed cities is un-
der consideration. The work of search
ing under the ruins had almost ceased
because there is no expectation of lind
ing anyone alive. The rescue parties
find only cOrpses The immense loss of
life is largely due to the low, sOlidly
built stone houses which were so
shaken that masses of stone or con-
crete fell upon the occupants within.
The earth tremors continue causing
fresh apprehension.
The American embassy and Ameri-
cans who have gone TO the scene have
not found any further Americans
among the victims.
