EARTHQUAKES IN SICILY
Shocks Cause Serious Damage to Dwellings and Churches

Palermo, Sicily--Oct. 12-The earthquake shocks in Sicily continue, and are causing serious damage to dwellings and churches, some of which have fallen.

Caccamo sustained particularly heavy damages, and the condition of the people of that town, Termini and Trabia is extremely distressing. They have been camped in the open air for weeks past. In the last five days more than 100 shocks have been felt at Trabia.
