Messina, Jan. 13--The weather was
again bad Monday, torrcntial rain
greatly impeding the work of search
ing the ruins. Shocks of earthquakes

longer cause panics, as the people arc
becaming accustomed to them.

Offices were completely destroyed, but
duplicates which were stored at the
court Of justice appear to be intact
Survivors viii, therefore, be able to
obtain any records that may be neces-
sary TO establish their civil status.

Rome, Jan 13.--The American relief
ship Bayern and the United States sup.
ply ship Clflgoa are now at Cantania,
where over 10000 refugees are crowd
ing the hospitals and the municipal and
government buildings. Both ships have
ladned provisions and stores.
The committee on board the Bayern,
be sides undertaking relief work, is en-.
deavoring to discover whether any Am
orleans are among the injured in the
hospitals. This task, however. is al.
most impossible, as the hospitals do
not keep any records Hence nearly
all the patients are unidentified.
Bayard Cutting wired today to Am
bassador Griseom that an American
refugee had been found in one of the
hospitals, but that his name could not
vet be ascertained The committee also
found Mrs. Debelli, a naturalized Am.
eFiacn, with three children, unhurt hut
utterly destitute. She wishes TO reioin
her husband, Stefano Debelli, whose
address is 6 Martins lane, Rochester,
Ny, Mr.. Cutting further reports
that all the RELIEF work Of the govern
ment is concentrated at Messina, where
help is urgently needed, especially food.

as the hospitals and public
buildings are overcrowded with refugees
who refuse to leave Catania, as IL is
the nearest city to Messina, even when
shelter cannot be found for them.
The American relief ship is doing ex
ccllent work and affording much badly
needed help.
