Citizens in Panic But Little In.
jury Done Rescue Work in the
Stricken Regions as Seen One
Week Later.
Rome, By Cable violent earth
shock running north-southwest and
east-northeast, lasting three seconds,
Sunday and during which the Strom-
boil volcano began eruption, occurred
in Stromboi island Sunday.
The phenomenon was accompanied
by prolonged dull rumblings. The
houses on the island were badly dam
aged and the populace fled to the
streets in panic, but no one was hurt.
The weather is intensely cold on
Stromboi island.
The system Of rescue work in
Messina has been greatly augmented
by the arrival of troops, who are to
be seen all over the ruined city in
squads of twenty and thirty, pat
rolling day and night. Bodies Of
them also are worhngsin the ruins by
day and until we'll into the night.
The movement of refugees from
the villages is daily increasing in
volume. Of the victims buried under
the ruins few have been rescued
alive.
It is now clear that the enormous
number OF casualties in Messina was
due to the suddenness with which the
first shock came, giving but little
time to the people to escape from
their homes. The tidal wave was not
SO high as was atlffrst reported, and
would have done little damage had it
not been preceded by the earthquake.
The damage done by fire was COM
paratively Insignificant.
The first earth shock last Monday
morning literally threw down The city
and almost every street was
completely buried under the walls
that had fallen. furniture and other
debris, practically cutting off every
avenue of escape.
Then came the tidal wave to in
undate the city and the living and
dying were caught like rats and
drowned or had their brains dashed
out by being thrown by the rushing
waters against piles Of masonry and
rubbish.
Far greater havoc was wrought in
Messina than was believed when the
Associated Press correspondent first
passed around the outskirts with
Frank Perret, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
assistant director Of the observatory
on Mount Vesuvius. During this tour
q most critical examination was made
of the American consulate. It is a
complete rlin-nothihg but a heap
of crumbling and crushed stones,
without semblance of its original
shape. 1t is most doubtful if the res
cuers will be able TO recover the
bodies buried beneath the debris for
a few days, but every effort to do
so will be made The French and
Turkish consulates also were razed
completely, and it seems almost i'm
possible that any of their inmates

CARING FOR THE VICTIMS
Rations, Clothing, Tents and othe,
Supplies Are Pouring in and the
Hungry and Injured Are Being
Cared For.

Rome, By Cable.-What chiefly
concerns the government and the peo
pie is the progress that is being
made towards the relief of those who
have suffered by the dreadful earth
quake in southern Italy and Sicily.
Considerable advance in this respect
has been made at Messina, where, ac-
cording to reports received here, the
supply service is beginning to work
satisfactorily. The different regions
on the coast have been allotted to
verious warships and other ships as
centres from which torpedo boats
and launches convey and distribute
sations and water 10 the different
villages.
The Minister Of Justice has wired
from Messina to Premies Giolitti
that large bodies of troops have ar
rived and are now occupying all parts
of the town. The appalling extent
of the diaster renders anything like
systematic search Of the ruins is
impossible, but persons are being
dragged out all day long and are
quickly transported to the relief ships
as soon as their wounds have receiv-
ed attention.
The appalling message came on
New Year Day that the Ripari Is
lands which lie just north Of Sicily
had gone down with its $4,000 inhab-
itants, but messenger boat sent to
learn the facts has returned with the;
news that the islands are, but little in
jured. Only the cracking of build
iags make any real damage.
Estimates Of Death List.
Rome, BY Cable.-Estimates Of the
death roll of the earthquake now
cease to concern the Italian people.
1t is enough to know that the catas-
trophe is overwhelming = figures
would add nothing to the grief Of the
stricken nation, nor move to greater
efforts those upon whom the work of
relief and rescue has fallen.
Every channel open to the govern
ment has been utilized to this end,
and other nations have been quick to
come to its assistance. even before
the cry for aid went up. shiploads
Of fugitives have been carried out of
the stricken zone to Naples, Palermo.
Catania and other ports, and accord
ing to the Minister of Marine, rescue
vessels to the number of SO are now

on the two coasts.

Italy and Sicily and obliterated
Smaller Towns and Villages With
oct Number. #

One Sef the most disastrous earth
quakes in the world s history occur
red on Monday in the lower portion
of Italy including the island of
Sicily. The news of the appalling.
disaster was not adequately conceiv-
ed wher the cables first brought The
message. No tongue or pen can de-
pict the horrors Of the awful calamity
that has fallen upon that region.
Later details covering more fully
teh horrible occurrence are given IN
the following dispatches, and show
that the first news of the disaster
came nowhere near giving the full ex-
tent of. the devastation wrought. \
The immensity of the disaster in
southern Italy and Sicily can only be
measured by the fact that it is now
estimated that 10000 people perish
& ed in Messina and Reggie alone. A
score of other towns have been de-
vastated and Thousands of victims in
these places must be added to the
roll. In the face Of this awful total
all Italy stands appalled,.
~ Nor has the full death-list vet
been reached. Ship loads Of fugi-
tives have arrived at Naples and
other ports and the vast majority Of
these are sorely, injured. Other
thousands remain near the ruins OF
their homes or wander haif-staryed,
half-nsked over the land The forces
that on Monday overwhelmed the
cities also DESTROYED the means Of
subsistence. Telegraphic communi-
cation has been established with Mis-
sina, the apparatus having been in
stalled in a railway van, though they
have been meagre in detail, show
that hope is gone. Nothing remains
of the city but mass of ruins that
have been swept by fire. A mere
handful of survivors are being cared
ferSby the rescuiIg forces, but, their
distress is great and it has been in
creased by the violent icy wind that
followed the deluge Of rain. Desti-
tuition is everywhere and appalling.
There is little food and less water.
OF Messina's 10000 population it
Is believed that fully 10000 persons
pe1isbed.
Forty thousand people died in
Reegio.
Dispatches state that the city of,

as many injured. Two-thirds Of the
town was laid waste. All the vii

MOBERLY AFTER
CENTRAL BERTH
Missouri Town Wants to Show Them
Representatives Touring
The Circuit


the Circuit.
Hannibal Courier Post: It seems to
be the fad to want to get In the Cen
trail Association. which speaks well
for the standing of that league. There
are no less than four candidates for
the open berth in the Central at pres
ent, among those Moberly, within the
past two days, has come rapidly to
the front as strong contender. E. A.
Willott and Lewis Hunt, both of
Moberly, are in the city today to push
the cause of Moberly in the Central.
Mr.. Willot has had experience in
baseball for several years. When Seen
this morning by a reporter, he stat
ed: "Moberly wants in the Central.
She will make that league a good
town. Moberly can furnish the at
tendance and will guarantee a reas-
enable amount to the directors Mo
berly's business men realize the wide
and diversified advertising rising out
of league team and they are ready
and willing to back the proposition"
| That the business men are behind
the proposition is In favor of the Mis-
souri, city, for wherever baseball Is
success it is because of the fact that
the merchants Of the city have recog-
nized the value of the game as town
advertisement and have put their in
| fluence into the game. 1t was shown
in Hannibal last season, when the
Bluff City received more notoriety out
of their baseball game than could
have been purchased for $4,000 space
rate.
Moberly always has been a good
baseball town. 1t would add little
mileage to the circuit and both Will
lott and Hunt say that the town will
guarantee 10000 attendance The two
representatives here today are pre-
pairing to inaugurate two weeks
campaign of the whirlwind variety to
land Moberly in the Central. G. c..

J plication at the Galesburg meeting.

evidence of their popularity.
The supper was one of the finest

and it was necessary to stop selling
