The houses that were not dest d are now in flames. The survivors have been unable to ex- timguish the fires. They are begging for succor, but it is impossible to send in supplies because of the lack of means of communication, To add io the consternation, ghouls continue to rob the dead and wounded and incendiaries to apply the torch to unprotected parts of many | cities as soon as one fire is conquered by the rescuers. Hordes of escaped murderers and thieves. unrestrained in their orgies, plunder the homes of the dead and absent, and despite the orders to shoot them at the first suspicion of pillage, they continue to add to the terror of survivors, MANY TOWNS WIPED OUT. Nearly every town along the coast of Sicily was engulfed by the sea, and the towns of Naro, Scilla, Maletto, Belposo, Riposio and Baguaro have been destroyed, Cantillo has disappeared and Gazzari in Calabria, where) 1,500 perished, is completely wiped out. The whole of Sicily is desolated. Rivers have been dried up or diverted in their courses, vast crevices yawn where formerly there were green cropped bills, and whole forests have been swallowd up { WARSHIPS AS HOSPITALS. British and Russian squadrons bave arrived at Messina. Sailors and’ marines have been disembarked, and they have performed courageous acts | in rescuing the injured and removing the wounded.

It is imperative that the dead be removed from th: ruins in order to avoid a pestilence, Steamers with doctors, druggists, | firemen and workmen have arrived at Messina from Catania and other! places Ninety Americans and Englishmen perished in the Hotel Trinacria, it is reported; one hundred and ninety guests in all were killed. Latest reports vecerved nere state that 4,000 soldiers in the varioue bar- racks Messina were buried under the ruins Six criminals were killed while trying to loot the Bank of Sicily, where half a million dollars lay on the counters. The rescuers at Messina saw harrowing scenes. Hundreds of people were pinned under walls and rafters, alive, hours. Refugeas from Reggio who reached Catanzaro, Calabria noon, said that in Reggio they could see huge columns of smoke rising from the ruins of Messina across the Strait.
