(Special to the Evening News).
CANTANIA, March, 29. Anticipat
ing further disaster tho civil authori
ties today ordered 75,000 residents
of the southern slope of Mount Aetna
and vicinity to abanodn their homcB

lives In climbing the mountain and
making an examination of the craters.
Tho report of theuo men shows that
the crater of Mount Aetna is choked
with great masses of rock and ashes
which has been distended upwards by
the great pressure of the Imprisoned
gnsses In tho Interior of tho volcano
and it Is believed that unless that
obstruction Is thrown out another
great earthquake will Bhake Sicily.
