DEAD ARE BURNED IN OIL
There Are Not Rescuers Enough to
Bury the Dead in the Ruined and
DesoIate Cities-Awful Conditions.

Messina and Reggie, the two cities
Of Sicily most terribly rent and torn
by the earthquake, tidal wave and
iire, are now literally plague spots,
where rescuers are risking their lives
amid the ruins, still trembling from
occasional minor shocks, gathering up
The mangled forms of the dead and
burning them in oil-practically the
only way to dispose of them. 1t is
impossible TO dig graves, for there are
not men enough, nor is there time to
lpare for the work of disposing of the
accompanying bodies, and quicklime is
not available in large enough guam
Titles The dead are host that will
never be accurately numbered or
named
Nearly all the survivors who can be
moved are now in Naples, Rome and
imaller towns near them, all of them
in piteous plight from injuries and
grief and nerve-shock. OF these not
yet removed many are dying from ex-
posture or injuries amid the forlorn
ruins The sites of both Messina and
Reggie. for centuries occupied by
thousands of busy and prosperous peo-
pie, are now dismal heaps of charred
stones and crumbling remnants Of
what were once happy homes, sacred
and ancient churches, and busy stores
and Offices, presenting more awe
some and grievously saddening spec
tacle than the dreary heaps which lie
scattered on the spots where Pompeii
and Herculaneum were crushed ages
ago.
The district will be abandoned, left
a prey to the awful desolation that
now reigns. None OF those who have
escaped the furious convulsion will
ever return to the scene to live.
Crowds In Messina are looting
shops, fighting for bread or anything
that will sustain life. Stocks of fish
which has spoiled are being devoured
raw by the famished multitude. Rep
resentatives of some of the oldest and
wealthiest families are in misery,
fighting with street beggars for miser.
able pittances of spoiled food.
Thousands Of the impoverished peo-
pie will seek the United States now
that their homes are ruined and many
of their relatives lost in the fearful
catastrophe. Money, food and every
necessity of life is needed by the
stricken people.
