Mourning,

Rome, Dec, 29.--One hundred
thousand dead: Messina, ii Sie;Iv
and Reggie and ascore Of other towns
IN Southern Italy oyerWheImed tha
entire Calabrian region laid waste
this is the earthquakes record so far
as is at present known from the re-
ports that are coming slowly into
Rome on account Of the almost com
plete destruction Of lines Of eonnu-
nIeation to the stricken places.
The death list IN Messina ranges
from 1900 to $4,000; that Of Reg
gio, which with its adjacent VILLAGES
numbered $4,000 people, includes
almost the entire population. At
Palnl 1000 are reported dead; 81
Casano, 1000; at Cosenza, 500. and.
half the population of Bagbara, about
1000. The Monteleone region has
been devastated and Riposto, Semi
nara, San Giovanni, Seilla, I.azzaro
and Cannitello and all other com
munes and villages bordering on the
strait are in ruins.
The King and Queen Of italy are
now on their way to Messina, having
sailed to-night from Naples aboard
the battleship Vittoria EmmanuaIe.
The Pope has shown the greatest
distress at the calamity, and he him
self was the first TO contribute
sum amounting to SOC, ,000for the
relief Of the afflicted. British, French
and Russian Warships are steaninq
toward che south, and already seve
raj Of the ships Of Great Britain and
Russia have reached Sicily. Officers
and men of these ships have per
formed heroic service ID the work Of
rescue.
It ID feared that many foreigners
have been killed, as number of the
hotels at Messina and doubtless ST
other places were crowded with tour
lists.
little is known Of The fate Of fha
diplomatic representatives of bhe
foreign powers stationed at these
posts, although the Italian govern
ment is using every effort t6 relieve
the anxiety felt on their account.
There is the graVest danger that
pestilence will follow the destruction
.of the towns, where, on account 81
the vast havoc wrought, bodies will
lie unburied for days and weeks.
Those who escaped death, many 81
whom are badly injured, are making
their way by the thousands to the
nearest place Of refuge.
Their sufferings even now must Be
intense, as they are without food OF
clothing.
Reports indicate that the geography
of the Strait of Messina has been 50
changed as to cause apprehension of
serious commercial and strategic diff
culties. Tt is believed that naYiga-
tion has become extremely dangerous,
in which case The Notifications on
which the government in recent years
spent large sums viii be useless. The
famous whirlpool Of Charybdis, it Is
said, has shifted its position.
Desperate calls have been made
from Rome TO Messina, but these re-
main unanswered, and fears are en-
tertained that Fort Spuria, near Mes
sina, has been destroyed, as tie Wire-
less station installed there Is one of
the most powerful 10 Italy, and eVi-
dently is not working. The eatas-
trophe has excited the whole p0pu-
