TRAINS COLLIDED. GRANTS PASS,; Ore.,. May . 28.-A MOUNT PELEE AGAIN ACTIVE Fear Entertained For Safety of American Author on the Island. AMERICANS ARE EXPLORING Phenomena of Vok-anicOntbreak Puzzling; .Scientit Gen erally and Future Urn Myatery. FORT DE FRANCE. Martinique, May . A tremendous explosion of very black smoke from Mount Pelee at a quarter before t o'clock this mora, ing, accentuated the fear entertained, for the safety of George Keneen, tha American author, who, with a land party, ha been examining the north ern part of tin island. Governor of ' Martinique was at once consulted with, the object of arranging for the res cue party to proceed by land -la connection with the' voyage along the coast of the United States cruiser Cin cinnati, should such steps appear n8 essary. ' At about 11 o'clock this morning Fr erinado, a cleric ot a wealthy land proprietor of Martinique, arrived here and announced that Kesnan and hie party were safe on a plantation at the north end of the Island. - " Prof. Robert T. Hill. U. S. Geologist and the head ot the expedition sent to Martinique by the national geological society, who left Fort de France Moa day on horseback for the volcano, re turned here this morning, lie was) completely worn out by bis trip. ' '" Speaking of his expedition to Mount Pelee. Prof. Hill said: "My attempt to examine the crater, ot Mount Pelee has been futile, I suo ceeded. however. In getting very close to Moome Rouge. At 7 o'clock Mon day night T witnessed from a point near the ruins of St. Pierre, a fright ful explosion, from Mount Pelee and noted accompanlng phenomena. While these eruptions continue no can man should attempt to ascend, to tha era ter of the volcano. Following the de tonations from the mountain, glrantic mushroom shape columns, of smoke and cinders ascended Into the clear, starlight sky and then sore ad. In vast black sheet, to the south and direct ly over my liead. Through this fcea . which etxended a distance of 10 mile from the crater, vivid and awful Ing frequency. lightning like bolts flashed with alarm They followed distinct path of Ig nition which was not different from lightning, except in that ho ts were horizontal and not perpendicular. This Is indispuable evidence of the exDlo sive oxidation of gases afterthey left the crater. This Is a most Jmrort ant observation and explains in part the awful catastrophy. This phenom ena Is entirely new in volcano Wstory. " I took many photographs, but do not hesitate to acknowledge that I was terrified." Nearly all of the phenomena of this volcanic outbreak is new to science and may not yet have been explained. The volcano Is still Intensely active and I cannot make any predictions as to what It will do." ( The Eclipse Hardware Co. Plumbers and Steamfitters.
