Tuesday of this week:
There Is no sadder sight than the
dreadful desolation of Messina. and
words can not describe it. It seems
that there are still 10000 bodies buried
In the ruins. The American people do
not realize the labors of relief per-
ambassador; Commander Belknap, the
naval attache at Rome. and the men of
the gunboat Scorpion under Lieutenants
Buchanan and Wilcox, as well as by
Winthrop Chanler and the other MEM
bers of the volunteer committee.
They have performed labors which
should be a source of pride to every
good American. and our gratitude
should be heartfelt for the honor they
have reflected on our country.
Il was especially struck by the eff
cheney good humor and all around
power shown by the enlisted men,"
tertained Roosevelt at dinner at the
Suez Canal residence.
The steamer Admiral, bearing Roose-
welt and party. entered the Suez canal
en- route to Mombasa at 4:40 o'clock
