Refugees, Fleeing from Disaster, Stop

Sicilian coast in sailboats. After a fright
landed on the Calabrian coast. Here they
were met by the haggard refugees from
Reggie, and the various groups OF UNI
1ortunates joined forces. Together tnev
painfully climbed the hills. At a certain
point they all turned to give a last look
at the burning cues. They stood on the
mountain side plunged in despair. A
young priest who had escaped from Reg

some 20C0 persons. and blessed them. Then
EMMY called down the blessing of God
upon the desoated city.
Peace to the dying he cried; peace

Men, women and children knelt to the

ANARCHY AT REGGlOv(A.
Robbers PiIiasc Among Ruins, Staying
Those Who Oppose Them.

Reggie. via Catania, Dec. 3l.--A state
of most frightful anarchy prevails. Mobs
of ruffianS roam among the ruins giving
full vent to their viest instincts They
are pilaging the wrecked icwelry stores
and banks and do not hesitate to shed the
blood of those opposing them. A few SOL
diers who escaped unhurt have been I'M
PEELED by an admirable spirit of discipline
to organize patrols on their own initia-
tive. They are endeaVoring to protect
the property left intact but the crin.-
inals fight against them tooth and uail
The numbers of these criminals have in
creased to such an extent that the SOL
diers have on several occasions been
forced to open fire on them.
1t was only after a pitched battle in
which several We're shot and killed that
a semblance of order was restored. All
entrances to the city, or what is left of it.
are now guarded by soldiers. Many or
the survivors are lying exposed to the
four winds of Heaven. The relief par
ties, of which several are here now, are
unable to cope with it.
The city has been divided into sevcra:
zones. each commanded by an officer
Stores and food are now being landed
and are guarded by the military to pre-
vent pilage by the famished populace.
The survivors for two days suffered I'M
told distress, thinking that they had been
forsaken. Steamers were seen crossing
the straits, but all signals to them were
in vain, as all help went to Messna. IT
was only after the Kings visit that re-
lief began.
The monks and nuns in various relig-
ious institutions suffered greatly and
many narrow escapes are reported OF the
