ROME. Jan. 2. The great danger which
the King and Queen of Italy are facing
In their noble efforts among the stricken
reople of Sicily and the South was
brought home to the people today when
w.-rd wis received here that Queen
Ilele ia hd been Injured. Fortunately.
lir Injuries were nnt wrere. but It is
realized that any moment another calam
ity mlht happen, involving the serious
Injury or even the death of their majes
ties. Not one smonr the rescuers has shown
more self-sacrifice than King Victor Em
manuel, and he Queen, too, has taxed
her health and strength to the utmost In
giving relief and assistance to the in
jured. Anxiety for the sovereigns is in
creasing In Rome.
Great Danger to Royalvj.
Apart from the great strain which their
majesties are unquestionably undergoing,
there is danger from earthquake shocks,
which do not seem to have ceased; from
wails that have not yet been leveled;
from great pitfalls in the broken streets,
and from disease.
The injuries suffered by the Queen
resulted from panic among the pa
tients In one of the Improvised hos
pitals at Messina, when the trembling
of the earth and the rumbling noise
Indicated another movement of the
earth. The Queen was caught in the
rush of patients, who, panic-stricken,
were seeking safety In the open. The
panic was soon quelled, however, and
the Queen's injuries, which proved to
be little more than contusions, were
attended to.
Panic on 1.1 pari Isle.
Dispatches received from all the Ll
parl islands state that the effects of
the quake were very heavy there and
a panic ensued. The convicts, of whom
a large number are imprisoned there,
attempted a rising, but were sup
pressed. The Stromboll volcano showed
great activity. The damage, however,
was not serious, and no one was in
jured, but the people are camping in
the open air, fearing that further
shocks may come and overthrow their
homes.
The Duke of Genoa will leave Naples
tomorrow for Messina, lie said today
that he wished to contribute all in his
power to the work of rescue going
on in Sicily and would put himself at
the disposal of the government. The
Duke will either command the Italian
fleet now in those waters or will work
as a private individual, not having
other ambitions than to Join with sail
ors, among whom he has passed his life.
In helping his brothers in the South.
Xunzto Nasi, the ex-Minlmer of Jus
tice. Involved In the late scandal con
nected with public funds, has joined
the rescuing parties at Messina. He
was accompanied by six doctors, sev
eral nurses and a number of students
and citizens of TerapanL Even the
presence of Nasi, who Is the Idol of
Sicilians, did not serve to infuse life
into the depressed population.
Pope's Appeal to World.
It Is stated that the Pope has de
cided to send an appeal to the Cath
olic bishops throughout the world to
obtain subscriptions to the earthquake
fund. He will place particular de
pendence on the generosity of Ameri
cans. English and Irish.
As the Duke of Austa was crossing the
Via Carmine. In Palm!, the wall of a
house fell and falling plaster struck him
on the face and hands, inflicting slight
scratches.
The King and Queen are still at Mes
sina. The King continues to organize
and superintend the work of rescue and
the Queen is doing everything within her
power In consoling and alleviating the
Bufferings of the survivors.
An American recommends that through
the co-operation of Americans In Rome,
steamers be chartered at Naples to carry
provisions, clothing and medical supplies
of all kinds as well as doctors and nurses,
to the Straits of .Messina.
Give l"p Palaces to Sick.
The hospitals and all available space
for the care of th Injured on the coast
of Italy are filled to overflowing, but
now Catania, Palermo and Syracuse have
room for no more. Naples is rapidly be
coming overcromded. and as a result the
tutTerers are beginning to pour Into
Jtome, The King has sent a large num
ber of Injured to his own palaces at
t'aserta and Naples. The foreigners In
Home, especially the Americans, are dis
tinguishing themselves by their humane
labors. The apartments in the Palazzo of
SlnU occupied by Nelson Gay. of Boston,
secretary of the Borne committee of the
Keats-Keller committee, have been trans
formed Into a storehouse, where all sorts
of provisions are accumulating to be for
warded to the scene of the disaster.
It haa been decided to cover the ruins
rith quick lime, and this work will be
undertaken as promptly as possible. The
walls still standing in Kegglo and Mes
sina will be blown down by dynamite.
Much has been done to systematize the
relief work but, even so, hundreds are
dying.
The weather Is stormy, and many are
iifTerlng from pneumonia. Many are
till living, penned In the ruins.
The Amercan gunboat Scorpion will
arrive at Messina Monday and assist in
relief work.t If, meantime, the bodies of
Consul Cheney and his wife are found,
the Scorpion may transport them to
Naples, whence they will be shipped to
the I'nited States.
King's Report From Calabria
Returning from a visit to the Calabrian
coast, north of Reggio, King Victor Era
munuel sent the following telegram to
Premier Glolittl:
"I have visited Cannltello. eight miles
north of Reggio. which was literally

Shock Stops Printing of Newspaper.
Editor CoAimits Suicide Army
Officer Saved by Actress
He Compliments.
MESSINA. Jan. 2. The stories related
by the survivors in the. hospitals and at
the food supply stations, where rations
are Issued twice a day, all reflect the
horror of the fateful December 2S. There
were many miraculous escapes, but the
cases of bereavement are without num
ber. A cobbler named Francesco Mesianro
relates that immediately after the first
shock he and his wife and children rushed
out into the street. Fires were breaking
out all around them. Hearing cries from
a pile of rubbish nearby, the cobbler
made a hurried examination. He found
two girls dying. The head of one was
split open, while the chest of the other
had been crushed In. The cobbler picked
.up a baby, but it expired in his arms.
Seized with mad terror, the man fled to
ward the sea.
Throws Himself In Sea.
Yesterday an old man who had lost
all of his family was Keen going about,
the ruins vainly asking for food. He
suddenly called out:
"As nobody helps me, I will die," and
with these words he threw himself Into
the sea. A sailor dragged him out.
Signor Vldala, the proprietor of a
local newspaper, was superintending
the printing of an edition when the
shock came. He managed to get out to
the street before the building collapsed
and groped his way to the Place Ca
verla, which had been transformed into
a huge crevasse. He made his way to
his house and committed suicide under
the ruins.
Carries Body Home to Bury It.
A countryman who came into the
city after the disaster found his broth
er dead. He carried the body on his
shoulders back to his native village
and buried it.
The Marquis de Semolla was buried
in the cellar of his home. He found
a larder and kept himself alive until
extricated.
An actress named Flora Farina, while
lying half buried In wreckage, heard
the voice of a lieutenant of artillery
close at hand. The man had recog
nized her. but his plight was worse
than her own.
Actress Saves Admirer.
"Signora, for pity's sake, save me. Call
for some one to rescue us. Don't leave
me. I was at the theater last night and
I applauded your singing. I have a
mother; don't leave me to die."
The woman was eventually dug out
and led her rescuers to where the Lieu
tenant was pinioned down. He also was
saved.
The mother superior of the Bt. Vincent
Military Hospital released, alone and un
aided. Colonel Minder and his daughter
from the ruins of their home.
A major of infantry was disinterred
with the greatest difficulty. Half of his
body had been freed when darkness came
and the Major told his rescuers that he
was all r&ht and that they could come
back in the morning. This they did and
the man was freed next day.
Child Alive Four Days Later.
An Infant, clothed in a little nightshirt,
was rescued well and uninjured, aftei
having lain for four days on a square
yard of flooring In a house that was
otherwise entirely demolished,
There were three fresh earthquake
shocks yesterday at 8:30 A. M., 1:35 P.
M. and 1:45 P. M. The last was the
most severe and caused widespread panic.
The people encamped around the .rail
road station started on a mad flight. The
women prayed and sang hymns, but,
having no place to go, soon stopped. Ir

they returned to their temporary abodes

SHOULD SEXD RELIEF BY SEA
Grlscom Advises Americans to Chur
ter Steamers for Purpose.
ROME, Jan. 2. Financial relief for the
sufferers has come in so generously from
the United States that Ambassador Grls
com today took a prominent part In the
relief work being organized in Rome. The
Ambassador was requested today -to give
his opinion regarding the best methods to
apply this American succor. He Baid:
"The work of relief Is difficult, owing
to geographical conditions. There is only
one railroad line running from Naples to
Southern Italy. This Is necessarily
choked by the troops in the government
service and the handling of the state re
lief supplies, consequently most of the
relief must be sent to the stricken area
by sea. v '
A practical means of getting in the re
lief offered by the United States would
be to charter one or more steamships In
Genoa or Marseilles, place aboard the
doctors and trained nurses and send them
to the Straits of Messina. Here the work
ers would put themselves at the disposi
tion of the authorities.
"Tne poverty of the country where the
disaster occurred makes tt Imperative to
remove the survivors at once to distant
points, as Naples, Leghorn or Genoa, or
ports even further up the coast, and I
am safe In saying there Is no limit to
the sea transportation needed.
"A committee formed with Americans
in Rome would co-operate with a commit
teeSn New Y'ork for the relief of the peo-
pie of the stricken districts. This need
; not In any way interfere with the con
, tributlons of Americans to the relief com--
mittee appointed by King Victor Emman
! uel.
"Immediate action, however, is imper
I ative, and If such a suggestion as this Is
! to be of value. It should be put In opera
tion at once. All the arrangements couia
be completed by cable In a few hours.

GIVE SURPLUS TO SUFFERERS
Premier Says Speculators Tried to
Raid Bank Stock.
ROME, Jan. 2. Premier RicolittI tonight
said Parliament would be convoked as
soon as the King, who Is expected to re
turn here tonight, could sign the decree.
First of all, the financial question would
toe considered. It was purposed to take
JS.000.000 of the budget surplus, w.iich
would be devoted to purposes connected
with the catastrophe. The government
would appoint a committee of experts to
draw up a scheme looking to the recon
struction of cities based on lessons
learned in the past. This would be co
dified into a law with other matters, such
as loans to the sufferers.
The Premier said the country had faced
three calamities, tlie earthquuke, the rob
bers of corpses and the robbers of the
bourse. He might add the journalists,
who sat at home and freely criticised
every one and everything, and a certain
class of financiers, who had attempted to
raid the Bank of Italy etock.
He pointed out that this had been done
by the "circulation of false dispatches to
the effect that the hank had lost tlO.OOO.-

by Earthquake.
ROME. Jan. 2. Exact statistics of
the dead and the surviving In the
earthquake district are still impossible
to obtain, because all the dead bodies
burled under the ruins have not yet
been excavated. It Is equally Impossi
ble to make any accurate count of
the survivors, for they are today scat
tered from one end of the country to
the other. The only figures that can
be given are reached by calculating
the total populations before the disas
ter and subtracting therefrom ' the
numbers that are supposed to have
survived. The result is, of course, ap
proximate. On this basis is made the estimate
that about 25.000 people have left
Messina and the communae. As the
total population of the city and com
munae was about 155.000. and as there
are about 15,000 people still in the dis
trict, the dead probably number close
to 115,000.
The victims are increasing daily, not
only through the dying of the Injured,
but also by the many suicides com
mitted by the desperate survivors.

CHENEYS GIVEN UP
American Consulate at Mes
sina Heap of Ruins.
SEARCHERS' WORK VAIN
Immediately After Shock Serao and
Lupton Began Search of Ruins.
No Americans Lost in
Hotel mt Messina.
ROME, Jan. 2. Slgmor . Serao, the
proprietor of the house in Messina
where A. J. Ogston, the English con
sul resided, arrived here today and told
of finding the American consulate In
ruins and of a vain search for A. S.
Cheney, the consul. He said that outside
the consulate there has not been an
American resident in Messina for 40 years
past. The part of the house where Serao
lived did not fall.
The Italian rushed out of the house
immediately after the first shock, and
met Stuart D. Lupton, the American
vice-consul on the street.
Together the two men made their
way to the American Consulate. They
found it had collapsed completely, and
they came to the conclusion that A. S.
Cheney, the Consul, and his wife, were
dead. They made a hurried but unsuc
cessful search for the bodies.
Xo Americans Lost in Hotel.
Signor Serao said triat with Mr. Lup
ton he satisfied himself that the guests
at the Hotel Trlnacria, which was com
pletely demolished, were all saved,
with the exception of the Swedish con
sul and an Italian girl. He does not
believe there were any Americans at
this hotel.
Tamarlno, where there were a num
ber of American tourists, is absolutely
safe. Continuing, Serao says:
"Climbing over broken beams, shat
tered walls and quantities of broken
furniture, we finally reached the spot
where the American Consulate had
stood.
Vain Search for Cheney.
"The Consular buildings were about
three stories high. Mr. Lupton crawled
over the ruins, calling out, "Cheney!
Cheney!" He was confident the Consul
would answer him. He said to me: 'Day
light has not come yet, and that is why
I cannot see him, but he must be some
where in the wreckage.'
"Our search became more and more fe
verish, but as time wore on we finally
realized its hopelessness. In addition to
the collapse of the Consulate, a neigh
boring building had been precipitated on
the consular ruins, and the whole was
a vast mass of wreckage.
"Touched by the despair of Mr. Lupton,
I tried to console him, saying that un
doubtedly the Cheneys had been vouch
safed the mercy of immediate death and
did not linger alive under the debris.
"We then left the ruins of Mr. Cheney's
home. We had done everything in our
power.
