FROM A WOMAN IN NAPLES, From Naples a lady writes to an English paper:— . "It may interest you to heir something from one on the spot about the attitude ot Naples under the awful calamity in South Italy. I could not have believed that Naples was capable of .behaving as she has done from the first moment the news came. Not anjnstant was lost in preparing for the reception of the wounded and, collecting money and clothes for them. Tho students undertook this latter duty, and the same afternoon <3very* : tram was placarded with an announcement that the next day there would be a procfession in aid of the refugees. Tho following morning a big van was taken through the -principal streets, and people deposited armfuls of clothes and wraps in it, while some of the students boarded the trams, and;-, simply saying 'Messina,' walked through with money'boxes. There was lio importunity; In every hotel a big basket stands, in the'hall,- and into it visitors put all tliey can spare even if it lie but a handkerchief. Even'tho poorest of the servants give something,'for the refugees have in. many cases no clothes at all but their night things. , They arrive wrapped in blankets.

The" hotels give beds and bedding, and pri-

vate; houses take in as many refugees as possible/ I have been ,for hours;amidst the crowds it the docks. Not a policeman is to be seen, but the most'perfect 'order is kept by the peoplo themselves. Only close to tho gates of the naval port is there a cordon of bluejackets with their . rifles, ' standing shoulder to shoulder,'for it is hero the wounded arrive, and an open road is thus secured as the motors and other. conveyances come out. All up the Piazza Municipio the crowd still stands , lining the three carriage . ways, .and instantly'falling back of its own accord at the hoot of a motor. The first day the?whole"# the Via. Roma, was kept free from traffic' to' allow the' wounded to pass quickly uj), but it is not necessary now ; people vie With-each other, as do the drivers of vehicles/ in getting rapidly out of the way. They i are innumerable motors lent, and they aro invaluable, for, though they have but one stretcher each, they move so fast and so smoothly that, a. largo number of wounded can be_ carried to hospital by them. The , crowd is a ;p?rfectlj; i .qui,e,t.,' even' silent, one. All are oyer'cb'me by the tragedy,'and evcryjn_ iyiy. r Jio„can.,.'lt is said we-shaUr have '60,000 "refugees' 1 liere by Janu.They .are ;all vaccinated .as they, come along'.in;.tho ships, and, injected with antiserum fo.r.:,tetaniis, the 3 arrive.. As 40 many.,people, in practically no clothing were, cut .'by ,the ; falling masopry, tetanus is .by; the .doctor?. Many babies wer§.brought away whose,-parents cannot be found. One lay three days on. a ibalcony at Mess;na . without food , and . drenched with rain,- yet to-day she seems as well as ever . she was. We all think:'that- the English papers do not say enough about the heroism and".-'devotion of. the .Russian sailors. Of J course,- all the sailors, did -splendidly, but the Russians .were first, and performed prodigies in life-saving at great risk to themselves.. The Italian navy is managing all the transport of victims, and it. lis a marvel of speed, science, and humanity."
