Fell Five Floors: uniniured.

The stories told by these unfoTtu.
nate refugees are almost unbelievable.
A soldier named Emilio de Castro. re-
lates that on Sunday, the day before
the disaster, he was taken sick ana
was sent to the military hospital.
Early Monday morning he was
awakened by a tremendous roaring
sound.
His bed struck the floor below, and
he was still on it. 1t paused mo-
ment, and was again precipitated.
He struck the next floor, but this gave
way at once, and thus man and bed
came down from the fifth floor of the
hospital to the ground The soldier
was not injured.

corpses Heaped in Streets.

In all the streets-or what had
once been streets-corpses were
beaped, their desperate attitude and
contorted features showing the horror
of the death struggles.
The ruins of the buildings formed
hillocks 80 feet high, under which
thousands of persons were buried. The
vessel was soon loaded down to its
utmost capacity with survivors and
then steamed to this city.
All along the way 1t was seen that
the smiling villages on the Calabrian
coast had disappeared. Both Scylla
and Charybdis had vanished with
them.
In Naples public buildings and pri,
vate houses were thrown open to the
refugees and everything possible was
done for their comfort. The duchess
of Aosta was interchangeable in her min
istratiops, going from steamship to
steamship and bringing to the suffer.

The wounded refugees that reached
this city presented sickening sight.
some appeared hardly human: others
among the fugitives had no apparent
injuries, but were in such a deplora-
bic mental condition that they seemed
the worst of all. The horror of that,
tragic minute appeared to be ineradi-
cably fixed upon their faces On the
relief ships the refugees were heaped
everywhere. Some OF them appeared
TO be stricken with kind of idiocy,
looking aimlessly before them; others
completely mad, howled wildly. The
commander of the Therapie gave a
thrilling description of the rescues eff
fected by his men when his ship ar.
rived at Messina. AS the vessel drew
up before the city 1t was surrounded
to the gunwales with men and women
who piteously cried for food and
drink, for they had nothing for "a
hours. On entering the port a ire
mendous clamor greeted their ears. 1t
was the survivors screaming for help.
From the water front Messina appear
ed to be intact, as the facades of the
fine buildings along that line of
streets still were standing, but behind
was emptiness and ruin. The princi.
pal square presented an awe-inspiring
aspect. Everywhere were enormous
cracks into which the sea poured,
whence clouds of steam and sulphur
Gus vapors arose.

Royal Couple Assist Rescuers.

The king and queen of Italy went to
Messina in the battleship Vittorio
Emmanuel, and his majesty grasped
the situation and set to work all the
powers he controlled to alleviate the
horrors of the situation. He partici-
pated actively in the work of actual
rescue.
Immediately ON his arrival at Mes.
sina the king joined a rescue party
and labored as unremittingly as the
others. He personally extricated sew
eral injured persons pinned under the
ruins.
The queen also took active part in
the work. She rescued with her own
hand boy of three years, who was
bleeding from many cuts, and herself
carried him to the dock where she
handed him over to members of the
hospital corps. She devoted her at
tention principally to the little chill
dren and labored long amid the scenes
of horror

ruined city were added TO by the
countless number of bodies lying all
about Such force of laborers as
1t would be impossible to gather,
equip and sent to Messina would have
been needed to bury the dead. The
task was regarded as beyond human
power of accomplishment within the
period which would make such dis.
posal of the bodies effective.

Lime Spread Over the City.

So it was arranged to have tens OF
thousands of tons of lime taken to
Messina in ships and carried over the
city and spread everywhere.
The messengers from Messina could
not find words of sufficiently high
praise for the conduct of the king and
queen. They said that their majesties
left the battle ship and hurried into
the ruins of the city as If their owS
near and dear ones lay amid the
wreckage.
Owing to the overwhelming char
acter of the disaster, the hastily es-
tablished hospital and relief corps
were woefully inadequate to the work.
So it was that before their majesties
had gone more than few rods from
the dock they found themselves
among the ruins with the dead all
about them. Even the dying pinned
beneath walls and masonry heard the
wild cries of welcome mingled with
the chorus of wailing as great mob
of half-distracted men and women
crowded about the royal couple and
followed them as their guards made a
way into the ruins.
The king made himself dear to all
his subjects, especially to those in
the earthquake zone, by his prompt
and personal aid in times OF disaster.
This makes plausible story told by
his companions, who said that as the
royal pair and the crowd surrounding
them made their way through the
ruins a man pinned under great
block of stone and supposed to be
dead raised his head, repeated the
cries OF acclaim and dropped back
dead.
There was deep coating of mud all
over and their maJesties walked
through 1t in their work. The queen
was frequently affected to tears by
the sight of the homeless, helpless
women who followed her crying for
pity, half-crazed by their misfortunes.
II she looked upon them they threw
themselves upon their knees in the
mire and with clasped hands prayed
for her help.

that 1t is possible to obtain coherent
accounts from the few that escaped
from the stricken district with their
lives-many were for time without
the light of reason-it is realized that
certainly not for 20 centuries-per-
haps never-have such scenes been
enacted on the earth.
One of the first of the survivors that
reached the steamship Therapie the
day following the catastrophe thus
described his experiences:
81 was asleep when the first shock
awoke me, l. lit my lamp, but all was
quiet. and | turned to sleep again.
Suddenly fresh shocks occurred vic.
lent and terrifying. | arose quickly
but the house was swaying and my
door was damned. | tore the sheets
from the bed and made rope and
lowered myself from the window to
the street. An Italian family of five
persons escaped from, the house by
the aid Of my rope.

stroyed and the warders killed, but
most of the convicts escaped. They
prowled about the ruins, robbing and
numbering. They cut off the fingers
of the dead and wounded to get the
rings. Some of them were singing
songs of liberty as they piled the
knife.
"A Russian vessel lying in the har.
Dor was thrown into the street by the
tidal wave. Railway lines were swal-
lowed up. The square known as the
Cas- Campo Santo collapsed and sank.
Only the SUBMITS of a few ruined
buildings still emerged from the

Dun's Review, In summing up the last
year, gives Omaha some well deserved
credit for more than holding it's own at

Notwithstanding the financial condi-

tions IN Omaha and vicinity have improved
steadily throughout the year. material
progress has ben made In nearly every

Therefore, rather than lose its place

you mean to revise it downward in a

law and charged the Republicans
that in the teeth of your promises
to the people to revise you have re-

you argued that shoes should be
placed on the free list If hides are
admitted free OF duty"
Mr.. Pou criticised the wool sched-
ule, declaring the necessaries of ev-
cry day living have been doubled by
the imposition of the duties. He also
said the duties on w0men's and chill
dren's gloves have been increased
with the result that every woman

The reduction in tHa lumber scIsds'

who declared il was another evidence
of the favoritism shown in the fran.

He said every American citizen who
must pay the advance In the price of

from the duty placed on this bever-
