Messins. Jan. 6.-Dogs now constitute
one of the dangers to the earthquake
refugees. These animals. starving ana
often rabid through lack of water,
gnaw the corpses like hyenas and fire.
quently attack the refugees themselves.
Among the wounded who left for Pa-
lermo last night was a young man
whose eyes and right cheek had been
terribly mutilated by dogs. After the
earthquake he was buried in debris up
10 his neck and, while thus unable 20
move, was attacked by three Of the ami
mails and seriously hurt before his cries
attracted help. Many people are shoot
ing all vagrant dogs al sight, and stray
bullets are another danger in the city.
Working Night and Gay.
The work OF rescue is being pushed
on indefatigabiy night and day. and
even now persons alive are occasion
ally dug from the ruins. woman was
released from the wreckage of the
church Of San Francisco. She Gid no,
seem to realize that she had been bu-
rled so many days. She explained she
thought she was entombed in the
church after having died a natural
death. and that she was living in the
hereafter.
Efforts to release the living will be
continued for two days more in cases
where there is reason to believe tina;
success will be met with.
The rain has at last ceased: the SKY
has cleared and the full moon seems |
to render the desolation more complete |
The once picturesque hills, smiling with /
olive groves, are now wrecked and 4
gloomy.
Glory of Messina Raced.
In her fury nature appears to have /
wished even to cancel history. The Wis /

oral, the glory of Messina. has been
RACED. The centuries have respected

a few days ago. Defying former earth
quakes and cataclysms which had az
ficted Messina, it's great column OF
Egyptian granite. heavier and stronger
than bronze, were all thrown down ana
crumbled as II of chalk. The magnih-
cent Norman, Andevin and Argonese
tombs of the kings of Sicily have been
reduced to ruin.
Many Victims pemented.
Among the many dreadful scenes

that half the little army of survivors
has become demented. Today a party or ,
soldiers came upon the remains of what
was once the city hail. They found an
