SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND FIREMEN Fought the Flames for Hours—Extent of Damage Cannot Be Estimated— Refugees Suffer from Intense Cold. Messina, Jan. 19.—Messina was swept by fire again today. For many hours soldiers and sailors worked he- roically to keep the flames from de stroying the last remnants of the town. and eventually they succeeded in get- ting the fire under control. Thé exteit of the damage cannot be estimated be- cause, doubtless, much of great value was burned up in the ruins. Flames Made Rapid Progress. - It is supposed that smouldering em- bers in the wreckage were fanned into flames by the strong wind that has prevailed here Tor the past two or three days, and apparently the fire se- cured a good foothold before efforts were made to extinguish it. The flames made fast progress, and soon swept through the remains of the beautiful promenade along the harbor front. The small force of firemen was augmented by detachments of soldiers and sailors from the warships, and pumps and lines of hose were brought ashore from the vessels. intense Cold Adds to Suffering. The survivors of the earthquake have been rendered more heipless by intensity of the cold. THe hills ail about are yhite with gnow, and the refugees are suffering %reatly. Many of them are still living in tents and with not sufficient clothing to protect them. The constant cry is for lumber for the comstruction of huts, and the government is doing. everything pos- sible, Lut the need i¢ most urgent. WORSTED MILL DESTROYED.
