NAPLES, Jan. 4. Although the Italian authorities were seemingly dazed at first by the magnitude of the disaster, the situation la now greatJy Improved. Ample supplies of all kinds are avail able. Foreign relief eoeietle have been organised in several coast towns tn Sic ily. Fortje-flve English-speaking; Inhabi tants, under the direction of Mr. Wood, the American artist, are conducting n Anclo-Aroerican hospital at Giordlna. Foreign officers who have explored the ruins on both sides of the Straits Rive higher etima:es of the loss of life than Italian reports. They believe that 9f.v persons have been killed or trapped In the ruins of Messina and SU.ouu at rtegg!o. where the tidal wave rose to double the height that it did at SlesMna. Signor de Nav. a Regglo member of the Italian Chamber or Deputies, has personal! v traversed most of the eartn tuake region on both sides of the Strait. He estimates the total dead at S.'J0u. the wounded at 4u00. C the dead Signor de Nava calculates that 6J."0 nre at Messina. IS.'.'") at R'g&.o and "') at ether coast and Interior towns affected. The radius of destruction extends 3 miles north and south on the coast of Plctly and on the mainland for an equal distance from Radlcena. towards the south. DI E TO FLAWS IX EAKTH-CKUST Perrott Kind Cans of Quake. Fresh Slrock In Messina. MESSINA. Jan. 4. Frank Perrott. of Brooklyn, assistant to Professor Mat teucci. director of the National Observa tory on Mount Vesuvius, speaking of the disaster in Sicily and Calabria, says that other earthquakes are Inevitable, as there are flaws In the earth's crust where the slip occurred. He predicts other shocks for Monday and declares that something, possibly very serious, may happen Jan uary 7 and 8. when the relative positions of the mm and moon will produce the greatest strain. Xew Fire and Shocks. Saturday morning the fire broke out acain In the Municipal building. The city records were consumed. The fire communicated to the buying of the Bank of Italy, where 75.000.000 lire fji5. eoo.V) in paper money was stored. The energetic efforts of the firemen and sail ors saved the money, which was re moved to a warship. Saturday night, at 9:45 o'clock, there was a fresh shock of earthquake and a panic ensued aohore and on board ship. Many of the tottering walls fell, but no fatalities were recorded. There have been a score of tremors since the disaster of last Monday mornlmr. but this was the first that was distinctly perceptible. After the shock the fire tn the Municipal building flamed up and was burning fiercely when this dispatch was sent. Shocks Due to Geological Faults. Karthquake experts who are here to study the phenomena generally agree that Jie earthquake was the result of a fault In the geological formation under Messina, which constituted a line of con tact In the volcanic action between Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius and that a slip occurred similar to the one which detached Sicily from the main land. That subsidence occurred at some points and that there was a rising of the earth's surface at others. Is proved by soundings which snowed the channel of the harbor deeper at some places and shallower at others. The British batl!esa!p Lxmouth. at a distance of half a miie south of Regglo, found 68 fathoms of water where former ly there were 23. Settling of Earth's Crust. Mr. Perrott. who was one of the flrst scientists to reach the scene, says he has proved the fact that the flrst motion was upwards and the second oscillatory. He characterizes the disturbance as in tervolcanic and says he had predicted It. The settling of the crust of the earth In this region has been simply proved, for there has tern no less than 500 re corded seismic disturbances since 1P06. British Consl and Wife Dead. Walter Fox. the British Vice-Consul at Regglo, and his wife, lost their, lives In the destruction of this city. The Foxes resided In Messina and went over to Reg glo by ferry ever' day. Fox was trans ferred to the Consular district of Naples In 1S"jo. The work of rescue and transporting wounded and honv-less survivors Is at tended with the greatest contusion. The task of digging out and burying the dead at both Mes'na and Regglo has been abandoned. During the tirst few days such bodies as were recovered were laid out In long rows for possible Identifica tion, but as there were few cases where any of the dead were recognized, they are now being covered with quicklime, when this material is available. Other wise they are being left to decompose where they are found. All efforts are being directed In getting the survivors away. CONGRESS GIVES FREELY iC'entinued From First pge. tending relief and also an additional ap propriation of K.' for further relief. The message follows: The President's Appeal.

I wrtnt that the law follow the form of that ptei In the Mount Pelee disaster In le2. ' The members of the committee on ap propriations were at once called to the Speaker's desk for a conference, with a view to obviating reference to the com mittee. Thereupon, Bingham, of Pennsyl vania secured unanimous consent for the Immediate consideration of the following resolution for relief In accordance with the President's message and It was adopted amid great applause: House Votes $800,000. That to enable the President of the Uni ted States to procure and distribute among the suffering and destitute people ot Itaor euoh provisions." clcthing. medicines and other neeeasary articles and to take such other steps a i he shall deem advisable, for the purple of rescuing and succoring the people who are In P-ril end 'hr'tened w.tr. starvation, the .urn of S.K.'ifm Is h'rorey svprop-lated out of any money In the treasury not otherwise appropriated. In th execution of this act. the Presi dent la requested to obtain the approval of the Italian government and hereby author ised to employ any vessels of the United states Navy and to charter and employ any other auluible steamships or vessels. Ten minutes before the House con vened the Speaker received a letter from the White House suggesting that the amount be Increased to $800,000. Before any action could be taken by the committee on appropriations, the House was In receipt of the President's message on the subject. At a hurried meeti.ig of the committee, the amount was Increased to conform with the President's later recommendation, with comparatively no delay. Immediately another resolution wa adopted expressing the profound sor row of the Houte for the calamity. Senate Acts Promptly. The Senate was in the midst of the morning business when Mr. Latta ar rived there with the message from the President. Immediately after the mes sage had been read. Hale moved that It be referred to the committee on ap propriations. He said that this action was not for delay, but to glve,the com mittee an opportunity to frame a reso lution in accordance with the Presi dent's suggestions. JIe expressed the hope that the Senate would remain In session so that it might receive the re port ot the committee, which, he said, would be made promptly. Hale reported to the Senate a reso lution to the same effect as that of the House, adopted by the committee on appropriations, and It was agreed to with only one vote in the negative, which was cast by Penator Bailey on the ground that the appropriation was unconstitutional. This resolution only appropri..tt u ."00.000. but later the Senate agreed to thf resolution adopt ed by the House Increasing: the appro priation to JS00.000. ar.d this amount becomes immediately available. First Division to Naples. . The flrst division of Admiral SpeiTy1 fleet has been Instructed to go to Naples to assist In the relief work. The re mainder of the fleet Is to be distributed at various points on the Meditetnean at Admiral Sperry's discretion. None of the other foreign ports is to be visited by the Amorlcarf battleships. Two of the battleships will go to Toulon. France, and of the others the Ohio and Missouri will go to Turkish ports. This pro gramme will not interfere with the as sembling of the fleet, as originally con templated, at Gibraltar prior to their leaving for Hampton Roads. The ships of the first division, which are to go to Naples. Include the flagship Connecticut, captain H. Osterhaus; the Kansas, the Vermont and the Minnesota. The original programme contemplated that the Connecticut should go to Vllle Franohe. January 14. and the Minnesota and Kansas to Marseilles on the same date. In consequence, there necessarily will be seme rearrangement of the Itineraries of some of the other vessels. It is not supposed that Admiral Sperry's first di vision will remain long at Naples, as by the time it arrives there the relief work will have been pretty thoroughly organ ized. The fleet Is schedued to arrive at Hampton Roads February 2 and it was said at the Navy Department today that there was no reason to Buppose that the event would be delayed. Koosevelt's Offer of Aid. President Roosevelt's tender of the bat tleship fleot was made Saturday In the following dlHpatch sent by Assistant Sec retary of State Bacon to Ambassador Griscom at Home: The supply ship Celtic, which sailed from here December 81. and the supply ship Cul goa. awnlttr.r the arrival of the fleet at port Said, with supplies f r the fleet, have been ordered by the Prosldent to proceed to Messina to offer food and medical snppllea and clothing amounting to about 3u0""0. Klght battleships of the fleet now on their way to Italian waters are due to arrive from Puei about January 14, accord ing to a former programme. You will ascertain from tha Italian government whether the services ot these or of any additional vessels of tha fleet can tn any way b oj use. Frequent dispatches came today from Ambassador Orlscom at Rome, indicating progress In the relief work adopted. Amhassador Grlscom cabled that the committee organized by him needed $30. l) for the rell'-f ship, for which he had contracted, and which has been grace fully accepted by the Prime Minister; also that the committee could use $100,000 Immediately In assisting the Italian Red Cross, which Mr. Grlscom said was in. a position to do the best work. Contributions continue to pour Into the headquarters of the American Rod Cross Society. Today the subscriptions amount ed to $19,7iS. The largest contributions were: Illinois branch of the Red Cross. $10,441; California branch. $10.0r); District of Columbia branch. $0000; Italian relief committee of Milwaukee. $30O; Connecti cut branch, $!."): Rhode Island branch, $); Massachusetts branch. $0; Penn sylvania branch. fJiO0, and the Cleveland City Branch. $i0"0. Red Cross Total Is $330,000. The American Red Cross has received a total of $.'J".. It urges that as far as possible all contributions for Italian relief be sent through It. so that a record may i b preserved of the amount con tributed In the I'nited States. Should the theaters of the country de sir to give performances for relief, the Red Cro.-'s will forward th proceeds. The Consul-General at Malta tele graphed the State Department: "Have arranged with Vloi-Consul Iup ton to communicate with the Associated Press agents now In Messina, communi cating the fate of all Americans to Malta as ascertained. " Culgoa Hurrying to Messina. PORT SAID. Jan. 4. The American supply ship Culgoa and the scout cruiser Yankton arrived here this afternoon, after a smooth trip through the canal from Suez. Tlio Culgoa. loaded with provisions, sailed this afternoon at S o'clock for Mcxsina. where she is expected to arrive Friday next. The Tankton also will pro ceed to Messina immediately after the arrival of the flagship squadron now coming through. e Vancouver Send9 $153.10. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Jan. 4. (Spe cial.) Judge J. A.

QUEEN MINISTERS TO NUN With King 'Makes Tireless Rounds of Mesina Hospitals. SAILORS SHOW DEVOTION Men of All Nations Kisk Uvea to ave Living From Ruins Few Antericans Missing Besides Cheney and Pierces. - MESSINA, Jan. 4. The King and Queen of Italy, on board the battleship Regina Ciena, have given a noble example of devotion. The King, with some of his Ministers, at his side, has been directing the relief ' work, yet he hae found time to visit the field hospitals anxl enoourage aeeee....' fIXVITED TO ACCOMPANY ROOSE VELT TO AFRICA. U' 1- m m. i John R. Aberaathy, of Oklahoma. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. (Spe cial.) John R. Abernathys feat of catching wolves alive with his bare hands secured for him the appointment of United States Marshal for Western Oklahoma from President Iloosevelt. Aber nathy. or "Catch-'Em-Allve Jack," 'has captured about 300 lobos with his bare hands. It is stated that President Roosevelt wanted to take him to South Africa, but that Abernathy did not want to leave his family that long. He re cently spent a week entertaining the President with moving pic tures of his famous stunts. his stricken subjects. The Queen has been passing IB hours a day beside the sick beds on the Regina Elena, aiding, consoling and encouraging. The brunt of the work of reecue has fallen upon the sailors, foreigners as well as Italian, and all have done their duty nobly. Praise of the Russians Is on every lip. They hesitated before no dangor, digging under tottering walls o enterinii the most unsafe shells when asked to do so by some frantlo woman who had not lost all hope that husband or child was still alive. The correspondent made two tours about the wrecked city through streets piled 30 or 30 feet high with debris. It was a wilderness of ruin a mile wide and tw'o miles long. Beautiful churches, splendid villas In the foothills, hospitals, barracks and the university all shared the common lot. Two-thirds of the mag nificent Roman Cathetrral. the pride of Messina, is in ruins and little or nothing remains of the relics of Phoenician, Greek, Roman and Saracen architecture that marked the stages of the 26 cen turies of Messina's tumultuous history. Stuart K. Lupton, American Vlce Consul at Messina, arrived one week before the earthquake. He was stopping at the Hotel Vittoria, which was half destroyed." After satisfying himself that A. S. Cheney, the American Consul at Messina, and his wife wore buried In the ruins of their consulate, Mr. Lupton took up headquarters on board the warship In the harbor. The correspondent visited the site of the consulate. The building has collapsed utterly. There Is hope, however, that the bodies and the ar chives may be recovered. Joseph H. Pierce, the former American Vice-Consul here, and several members of his family, are also among the dead. The only other Americans known to have been killed are a man named Joubert. or Robert, and his wife, who were na turalized citizens, and Joseph Giuseppe, a veteran of the Civil War. As to the tourists supposed to have been In the vicinity. It Is almost impos sible to obtain exact information, but the most careful inquiries Indicate that there were none in Messina at the time of the quake. The register of the Hotel Vittoria shows no American names. Two Englishwomen, Blanche Kane and Miss Smith, who were staying at this house, were saved. The register of the Hotel Trirmcrla. the other hotel patronized by foreigners, has not been recovered, but there Is reason to believe that no Ameri cans were among the guests. If any Americans were in Regglo or Messina last Monday morning and If they have not yet been heard from, the worst may be feared. The other towns in Sicily have sect no news of the killing or wounding of any American citizen. Major G. F. Reynolds Landls, the American military attache at Rome, who was rent here with Vice-Consul Cutting and the Interpreter of tho embassy, Winthrop Chaplin, has organized a force of 60 soldiers at work on the ruins of the American consulate, under which are the bodies of Mr. Cheney andi his wife. Messrs. Cutting and Chandler and Vice-Consul Lupton- are aiding Major Landls and. although the work is dan gerous and heavy, good progress ha3 been made. The American flag made Its flrst ap pearance in the harbor with the arrival today of the converted yacht Scorpion, under command of LJeutenant-Com-mander G. W. Logan. The services of the Scorpion were at once placed at the disposal of General Mazza, who Is In command here, but, the latter not having any pressing need, the Scorpion proceed ed to Naples, where she will coaj and then return to this port tomorrow. MADE BROTHERS BY SORROW Pope and Italian Mason Unite fn Relieving Sufferers. ROME, Jan. 4. The universal brother hood spoken of by Archbishop Ireland, of IT MS s H 'J :? a. ' S it L - ? - , , u. .mnhAtiri1 In Roma ni. x a u i , m cio iui mtt . today when upon the arrival of 1500 wounded from Messina and Regglo, Mavor Nathan telephoned the Vatican ntking whether these unfortunates could be taken In there. The .Vatican replied in the affirmative and the wounded were re ceived with open arms. To realize fully what this Incident signi fies, it must be explained that Signor Nathan Is not a Catholic and that he was at one time grand master of the Masons. Tne flrst 120 ,'of the wounded sent to the Vatican were received at the station by Mgr. Mlsitally, sent by the Pope. The Pope could not restrain his desire to bring theni consolation, and sought them out. He passed through the Basilica of 9t. Peters over the arch connecting the basilica with the hospital. Although he did not actually set foot on Italian soil, he really went outside the Vatican. The hospital, belonging to the Pope, stands on Italian ground. The Pope's entrance into the hospital was the sign for an outburst of emotion, not only on the part of the patients, but from the Pope himself and the members of his suite. Many of those who were not gravely wounded Insisted on jumping out of bed to greet and kiss the Pontiff's hand. The Pope spoke consolingly to each unfortunate.- ROYALTY GIVES HELPING HAND King and Queen of Italy Succor Many With Personal Aid. ROME, Jan. 4. Parliament will be convoked January 11." The Minister of War says that the forts around Mes sina, which contain tons of powder and millions of cartridges, have not been Injured. He also Bays that while he was at Messina, at least 15.000 persons were taken from the ruins. Injured and uninjured, of which number 1000 were saved by the Russians and 1000 by tha Engrlish sailors. The Italian navy has sent 600 tons of provisions to tha af fected district. All the treasure found has been placed aboard the warships. A pocketbook was picked up contain ing $14,000, and much clothing has been found at Messina and elsewhere, with banknotes sewed In it. Advices from Messina say that 20 looters were shot there yesterday. Six thousand persons have already left there, and 6000 more will leave today. Many women of the aristocracy have been appointed nurses. The Italian Red Cross, under the Initiative of Princess Teano, formerly Princess Vlttorlo Co lonna, has sent a chartered steamer fitted for hospital uses to the earth quake district. The women are doing splendid work. Signor Mirabello, Minister of Marine, speaking today on the work done In tho earthquake region by the King and Queen of Italy, said It was admirable beyond words. His Majesty visited numberless towns and villages. He distributed succor with his own hands, and superintended everywhere the la bors of the rescuers. His presence on the scene of the disaster was of the greatest moral assistance, for he Im personated to the unfortunate Sicilians and Calabrlana the fellowship of all Italy. "Her Majesty, the Queen, was sub lime." he said. "She made the battle ships and principally the Regina Elena the scene of her labors. She attended hundreds of wounded on the Regina Elena with her own hands, and assisted Professor Basti in performing- a num ber of operations." DIGGIXG OCT MANT SURVIVORS People Found Alive in Ruins Four Bays After Disaster. MES8INA, Jan. 4. Approaching the sunlit Straits of Messina Friday morning on board the steamer .Lombardla, the flrst signs of desolation were the ruins of several picturesquely situated villages on either side of the headlands of Scylla and Charybdis, which flank the entrance to the harbor of Messina. The first sights minimized the magnitude of the catas trophe, but the nearer the steamer ap proached the greater appeared the de vastation. The shattered walls still standing in Messina were mere empty shells, through which roofs and floors had crashed to the foundations, burying the Inmates under masses of debris 20 or 30 feet deep. As most of the walls fell outward, the streets were mountains of ruins. Eight thousand soldiers and sailors were in the charnel house still searching for those who had been trapped alive beneath the wreckage. . The scenes for a distance along the waterfront made the stoutest heart quail. Little groups of men, women and chil dren, half clothed, slept huddled to gether, crazed and numbed with grief and terror. They were awaiting the boats to take them away. It was astonishing how many people still were being dug out alive Friday morning, four days after the catastrophe. While the correspondent lingered for an hour near one of these stations, 11 wounded were brought in. They were almost naked. Their bodies covered with blood and dirt, they could hardly be rec ognized as human beings. QUEEN IJEUEVE'S OWX PATIENT Rescuer Directed to Child by Call ing of Parrot. NAPLES, Jan. 4. Queen Helene Is taking particular interest in a 6-year-old girl who was rescued from the ruins under remarkable circumstances. While some Italian sailors at Messina were climbing over wreckage, they heard weak cries of "Maria, Maria." After much work they reached a room where they found a parrot continuing to utter cries of "Maria." The seamen turned to leave, but. as the parrot persisted in its cries, they broke Into an adjoining room and found a girl lying senseless. She and the parrot were taken on board the battleship Regina Elena. Tha Queen nurses the girl with her own hands. LEMON'S FOR SUFFERERS New York Sells Them at Auction and Raises $2060. NEW YORK, Jan. 4. Small fruitdeal era competed with wholesale firms at the auction sale today ot 300 boxes of lemons donated by the California Fruit Exchange for the benefit of the Italian earthquake sufferers, so that every box brought many times Its value. The sale realized a total of 20t:o. The first lot offered by the auctioneer brought the highest price, namely, $S5 for two boxes. Land American Generosity. LONDON. Jan. 4. The civilised world hastening to the aid officially and un officially, of afflicted Italy and "the splendid generosity of the American people and Government." are the sub ject of eulogistic comment in the En glish papers, which urge the British government to follow this example, al though hitherto such matters have al most Invariably been left to private enterprise in England. No action on this matter can be taken until Parlia ment reassembles. Reports of donations come from many sources throughout England. The Mansion House fund grows at the rate of nearly J50.000 daily. Los Angeles Sends $5000. IOS ANGELES. Jan. 4. Five thousand dollars, raised by public subscriptions among all classes in Los Angeles, was cabled triaay to Rome for the benefit of the earthquake sufferers. Another similar amount will be cabled soon. FUND OVER 55, III Portland Contributes to Relief ' of Italy. MONEY SENT BY CABLE Forwarded to Snfferers Fast as Col lected Big Benefit Planned at Local Theater Kext Week. Small Amounts Coming. Portland's contribution to the relief fund for the aid of the suffering Inhabi tants of Southern Italy, whose homes were devastated by the terrible disaster of December 28, is now well over the $5000 mark, and. It Is thought, Oregon will assist the cause In a most substan tial manner. Colonel David M. Dunne, treasurer of the relief fund. yesterday received J1152.41, which, added to the $1224.35 pre viously subscribed, swells the total con tributions received to date to $5377.36. John Cordano, president, and S. A. Aratai chairman of the relief committee, were yesterday tendered the use of an automobile by rite Harry L. Keats Auto Company In collecting funds and plac ing lists with large Arms whose em ployes have signified a desire to con tribute. Employes of several large man ufacturing concerns of Portland have In formed the committee they would like to contribute in small amounts, which, when totaled among several hundred men, would make quite a respectable contribution. These are being afforded this opportunity by placing subscription lists with the foremen. In this way the donations made will swell the amount contributed considerably. Some time today Treasurer Dunne will send between $1000 and $2000 by cable to the Italian Minister of ' Finance, at Rome, Italy. This method of sending the donations was decided upon by the local committee because the sufferers are in Immediate need of assistance. Arrangements for the big benefit per formance to be given next Monday night at the Bungalow Theater in aid of the Irallaii sufferers are progressing rapidly. The committee In charge of the pro gramme promises an entertainment of exceptional quality. Miss Hazel Dolph Is In charge of a committee which will sell flowers at the performance. Miss Frances Wilson Is chairman of the pro gramme committee. Mrs. J. J. Gauld will have charge of the candy booth. The benefit has been aided by the donation of the Bungalow Theater by Manager George L. Baker. Within a short time, probably tomorrow, tickets for this per formance will be placed on sale at Schiller's cigar stores, Ellers Piano House, Sherman, Clay & Co.'s, Wood ward & Clarke's, the stores of Slg. SIchel and Skidmore's drugstore. Among the well-known people who are working to make this a huge success are: Mrs. Holt C. Wilson, Mrs. R. T. Piatt. Mrs. W. C. Alvord, Miss Frances Wilson. W. D.
