BAY CITV FUND CROWING
San Francisco Has Now Collected
$114,16! for Italians.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 5. Total sub
scriptions to the Italian earthquake relief
funj from this city now amount to $114.
!;;. Including the $50,000 set aside from
the San Francisco relief fund. Of the
oth-r $!.('. 0 dally shipments of $10,000
each, totaling $10,000 have been made to
National Red Cross headquarters at
Washington.
It Is Impossible to place an exact figure
on the contributions received since the
collection of the fund was begun In this
city. The Red Cross figures as here
given represent money actually paid in
to the Red Cross, but there are numer
ous small deposits at various banks still
to be turned over. A fair approximate
est1.-n.ito would place these at $10,000.
Tw.-lve thousand dollars from sources
outside the city was reported by the Red
Cross today. Of this sum $750 was con
tributed hr the colony of Italian fisher
men at Black Diamond, virtually all of
whom are natives of the stricken dis

ROME, Jan. 5. The report from Mes
sina, that typhoid fever has broken out
there has filled the authorities with
alarm. It Is realized that unless
proper sanitary precautions are taken at
once the disease may spread far outside
tlie ruined district.
King Victor Emmanuel today received
Ambassador Grlscom, " ho presented him
with the steamer Bayern In the name of
the American relief committee, repre
senting the American people. The Bay

supplies and Is ready to proceed to the

were always first.
Refugees at Naples.
Thirteen thousand refugees have ar
rived at Naples, of whom 6000 are In
jured. They are receiving the best of
care, but many have died of their in
juries and others have gone mad. More
than 50 per cent of those taken out of the
ruins after three days did not have
strength left to survive.

The American Vice-Consul, Stuart

The latest news from Regglo shows
that earthquakes occurred today, the
shocks being about 20 minutes apart.
One of the heavy shocks caused the col
lapse of a number of broken walls and
added to the terror of the survivors who
remained there.
"Another contingent of 400 refugees ar
rived here tonights The King visited the
injured and promised that everything
possible would be done to alleviate their

NO EFFORT TO FTND BODIES
Task Thought Too Immense Grief
Paralyzes Italian Soldiers.
MESSINA, Jan. 6. Earthquake shocks
are continuing here, although they are
diminishing in Intensity. At night es
pecially are they frequently felt. The
fires In the city also are being gradually
extinguished.
The official figures compiled so far
show that 14.000 bodies have been buried
In four cemeteries, that 9000 refugees have
left the city, and that 9000 persons still
remain here. Instead of excavating. In
an endeavor to find the bodies burled be
neath the ruins, it has been proposed
that every house In which It is "believed
persons are burled shall be covered with
quicklime.
Many Alive In Regglo's Ruins.
The Associated Press correspondent has
made a visit to Reggio and carefully
Inspected the town. The number of per
sons killed there and the damage done to
property was much less than at Mes
sina. Only the central section of the city
was damaged. About 5000 troops are
working there-
The official figures place the wounded
at Reggio at 1000 and the refugees at 7000.
The number of dead in the ruins is not
known.
Resglo has been practically evacuated
except for the troops and the marines
from two British warships, who are caus
ing the populace to evacuate Villa San
Giovanni, which Is considered to have
been the center of the earthquake. Nu
merous persons, still living, were taken
today from beneath the ruins, while the
voices of ofhers could be distinctly heard
appealing for aid. Within a few days the
rescue work at Reggio will have ceased.
Then the tottering buildings will be razed
and the bodies that have been buried will
be burned.
Italian Troops Bewildered.
The Associated Press had the first cor
respondent on tne scene at Messina. He
found a condition of utter confusion. The
first shock of earthquake virtually had
thrown down the entire city. The Ital
ian soldiers were overwhelmed, and In a
state of bewilderment wandered over the
ruins In squads numbering from three to
CO men. Little work was done until the
arrival of crews from the Russian and
British warships, which worked valiantly.
Especially was this true of the Russlnns.
The bodies of the dead lay everywhere
on the surface of the ruins, and limbs
protruded here and there from the wreck
age. The small first-aid stations were
overcrowded with Injured, and scores of
others were hastily established as soon as
possible by relief corps from Italian
cities and the Russian, French, German
and British warships.
Large numbers of survivors were crazed
by fright, and panic seemed to have laid
hold of all. In the camp, of the refugees
piteous scenes were enacted. Many per
sons threw themselves on their knees beg
ging for bread, while five minutes' walk
beyond were orange groves rich with ripe
fruit. The fear for their safety seemed to
hold them petrified In this small haven of
refuge.
Constant light shocks followed. the first
great disturbance until 40 were recorded.
The Associated Press correspondent says
one of them threw down many of the re
maining walls of the city, the ensuing
crash greatly intensifying the panic of the
populace.
One Man Loses 1 7 Relatives.
The first Italian troops to reach Mes
sina were largely from the Sicilian garri
son, and commanded by Sicilian officers.
T
YPHOID
S
Scores of them had lost relatives or
friends. One officer said tnai ne naa
lost 17 relatives all his children, his wife,
father, mother, brothers and sisters; and
yet the government expected him to com
mand a relief corps. The home of Mr.
Chenev, the American Consul, was
crumbled to dust in the first shock, and
Its inmates almost inextricably pinned
beneath the ruins. All of the Americans
who have not been heard from may be
considered safe. Probably all are in the
south of Sicily. Those who are known to
have suffered from the earthquake have
been reported. The telephone and tele
graph wires have been placed at the ser
vice of the government, and personal
messages will be- delayed indefinitely.
The Associated Press correspondent
found among the ruins of the Hotel Vic
toria the blackboard with the full lists
of the guests of the hotel clearly written
upon it on the night of the disaster. It
bore, besides the name of Stewart K.
Lupton. the American Vice-Consul, who
escaped, only two other English names,
those of British subjects.
The hotel was distinctly an Italian one,
except for the American, French, Turkish
and Swedish Consuls, the chaplain and a
few German shipping clerks.
Money is now needed for relief. Hun
dreds of families have been left without
bread-winners and thousands of persons
have been maimed for life. The horrors
of tho sanitary conditions in Messina are
unspeakable, and only the roughest of
surgical attention is possible.
Shipload Cries for Water.
After sleeping one night on a plank
without covering from the rain, the cor
respondent of the Associated Press the
next night took refuge in a hospital on
board ship, where there were 400 wounded
persons without a single nurse. All nignt
the piteous cries of the distressed persons
for water were unheeded because of the
lack of attendants, and several of them
died before daylight Many women among
the rescued prematurely gave birth to
babies. -
The difficulties of removing the injured
from Messina and Reggio Is increasing,
because of the fact that there are no
docks, and it is necessary to transfer
them by rowboats.
The first cases of typhoid fever 'have
broken out here. This fact will cause
drastic action to be taken immediately
for the disposal of the dead. The hope of
rescuing any of the living beneath the
ruins has been abandoned. Until the
present time all attention has been con
centrated upon the removal of human
bodies from the streets, while the car
casses of animals killed by the earthquake
and those of dogs and cats shot by the
patrols, have been left lying where they
fell. The decay of these carcasses has
greatly augmented the danger of the
spread of disease.
SAILORS OF FLEET GIVE MONEY
American Seamen Prove Most Gen

ROME. Jan. 5. The prompt dispatch
of a part of the battleships with tho
fleet commander, Rear-Admiral Sperry,
to offer aid in the earthquake relief
work ha3 added to the public feeling of
appreciation and gratitude. Word ha?
come that Admiral Sperry has opened
a fund for the sufferers, and that tho
men are contributing generously.
Tho work of searching under the ruins
has almost ceased. Signor Pava, the
Italian Minister of Public Instruction,
has received a telegram from Messina
saying that the university there has
been completely destroyed. Tho library,
famous for its collection of manussrlpts.

PLANS TO REBUILD CITIES
Rehabilitation of Messina and Reg
gio In Prospect.
ROME, Jan. 5. Plans for the rebuild
ing of Reggio and Messina already are
being discussed In detail. Messina is
the second city of Sicily. It Is estimated
that about $15.0000,000 will rebuild Messina
for 60,000 inhabitants, that it will take
about $8,000,000 to rebuild Reggio for 26.
000 people. In any event many years will
elapse before the terrorized population
can be induced to return and live in the
stricken territory. .
Another project is to transfer Messina
provisionally to Milasseso, a small town
near Messina.
It has been decided to reconvene the
Tf.iinn tnriiamni on Friday or Satur
day to consider measures of relief. Three
members of the cnamDer or uepuuea v
