The town of Messina, Jn g*-* e miq. Sicily, waa partially destroyed, and Oatanta was tuunduted by a huge tidal wave. The tidal wave which followed the earth shocks pn the eastern coast of Sicily swamped vessels and inun dated the lower part of Catania. It is known that a number of people were killed at that place, but the rushing waters carried everything before them and caused such Inde scrlbable confusion that H will be 1m possible for some time to estimate the damage and the lives lost. The city of Messina has suffered probably more than any omer place, the latest Information coming ind • rectiy from 4h»t quarter stating that two-thirds of the town was destroyed and several thousnad persons killed. The steamers Washington and Monte bello, which were in that harbor, later proceeded to Cttanla loaded with injured, who were so sluplflel by terror that they seemed unable to realise what had happened, simply Mvlnr that it looked as though th* end of the world had come. five steam »rs left Catanta fni; Messina to assist In removing tb* injured from that plapf, wno are *e ported to number thousands/ At, Catania the panic-stricken , people absolutely refused to re-enter their houses and are camping/ on the squares, which are free from water, nnd the surrounding jountry. Thf tod at wave sank five hundred boats there and did great damage to a luge number of vessels and steam era, including the Austrian steamer Buda. Not only did Catania suffer fro i effens *tJf a ttdal wove, but a the similar body of water Inundated the handsome streets of Messina which flank the harbor, covering th/m with a thick layer of mud, which render ed more difficulty the removal of the wounded, many of whom could be seen lying under the wreckage It is reported that the villages of Faro and Ganzlrrj. adjoining Mes sina. have disappeared: The effects of the earthquake were aggravated by fire through an explosion of gas. the flames of which swept along several of the streets, adding terror upon terror. Extraordinary scenes are reported t Catania. Following a vloleui earth shock at 5:20 a. m.. the tea rose In a tremendous wave, which wrecked manv smacks. It then sud denly retired from the shore and re turned as qulcklv. causing further great damage and wreckage.

Catania, Dec. 29.—The following graphic story is told by a woman who arrived here from Messina this morning, badly injured: “ ‘Infernal’ is the only word that will adequately describe the fearful anl terrifying scene," she said. “When the first shock came, most oT the city was fast asleep. I was awakened by the rocking of the house. Windows swayed and rattled and crockery and glass crashed to the floor. The next moment l war. violently thrown out of my bed to the floor. I was half stunned but knew that the only thing to do was to make my way out doors. The streets were filled. Everybody had rushed out In their night cloHV-.n, heedless of the rain falling in tor rents. Terrified shrieks arose from all sides, and we heard heartrending appeals for help from the unfor tunate pinned beneath the ruins. “Walls were tottering all afo md us, and not one of our party exp< ct- ed to escape alive. My brothers an 1 sisters were with me, and In a frenzy of terror we groped our way through 'he streets, holding our oWn against the panic-stricken people, clatnb‘ring over plies of ruins, until we finally reached a place of comparative saf ety^ But this was not done before I was struck down and badly injuerd by a piece of furniture that feu out of the upper story of a house. “All along the road we were jv>s- tled by fleeing people half clad lii:e ourselves.

Candler said today. “My opinion Is that it la the best thing that ever happened to Brownsville. The unfortunate features were the kill ing of one man and the serious In juring of a policeman.

The rt Brown garrison, where the ne- es who did the shooting were artered, has been abandoned by the war department and is now used by the department of agriculture as an experiment station for cattle dis eases. “The riot there has been greatly exaggerated, as such occurrences usually are,” he went on. “It was not so pretentious or so serious as one would think from the national controversies it has caused. 11 amounted to very little more than a drunken row and the ‘shooting up’ was Confined to a very small section. Ninety per cent of the residents Knew nothing of it until after It oc curred. “My private opinion is that the white officers were In secret sympa thy with the men, and their conduct, in my judgment, was more respon sible than that of the soldiers. “There Is doubt of the shooting having been done by members of Ihe twenty-fifth infantry, that is looked upon as a settled fact in Brownsville. Private, non-partici pating members of the battalion would admit that their companions were guilty. Only a small percen tage of tho troopers were Involved, but they made such* threats that the others were afraid to talk. "The battalion was made up in large part of Georgia negroes.
