( Messina experienced two terrific
f arthquakes at about 7 o'clock Thurs
day morning, which were accompa
nied by roaring pounds and are said
to have had a stronger and more un-
dulatory movement than tho earth
quake of last December, which do
ftroyed Messina, Regglo and other
cities, laid waste many villages in Cal
abria and killed 200,000 people.
i lie wiius or me oia ruins were
thrown to the ground and Messina
was for a few minutes obscured in a
cloud of dust. Tho cusualties were
few, and the only persons killed so fur
as Is known were a young woman and
her Infant. The woman had gone to
Messina, only a few days ago and had
settled in rooms which the great
earthquake had left comparatively
undamaged. Hie was standing at the
door when tho shock occurred and
rushed Inside to save her child. Be
rore she could escape from tho room
the second shuck threw down tho
walls, burying both mother and child
umier the debris. Soldiers and en
gineers, who rushed to the rescue,
heard the voice of the woman calling
for help, and they worked over her
stveral hours, when they found the
mother dead, with her child in her
arms. Several persons were struck
by detached stones, but so far as is
known no one was fatally injured.
The first shock was followed quick
;y with a second and people fled pell
null to tho American quarter, which
they seemed to feel was their safest
place of refuge. So great was the
rush to the American huts that the au
thorities were unable to check the in
vasion, and as a consequence these
structures, which wore designed for
the most needy of the. populace, Were
laKen rnsseAsion of by tho first com-
cuiineis, nowever, arew a

The order to detain the steamer was

promptly executed by William Loob,

Capt. Brown and nil others in au
thorlty were found to bo ashore when
the vessel was visited Wednesday
night.
Customs Inspector Wm. E. Dodge
explained that he nnd Inspector R. W.
Ueuilierger had come aboard scarcely
an hour before to see that the vessel
did not sail. He said no inspection
had been made of the cargo and none
would be undertaken that night, and
that, although he knew nothing defi
nitely of any filibuster, he did know
that something of the sort was sus
pected. A search of the cargo, he
said, would probably be made Thurs
day.

Officers found the murder's trail
through the wet fields, and discovered
a spot where he had evidently laid
down to rest. Ben Llttlepage, a broth

l.utler place, told the officers AVednes
day morning that the murderer had
culled on him after midnight and had
said he would return to kill his wife
and baby, and he threatened to kill
