Naplea, April 11. Clear skies and per
fect sunshine greeted the people of this
stricken region thla morning. The fall
or ashes and cinders .from Mount Vesu
vius haa ceased for tha time at leaat,
while tba flaming lava nu longer pours
from the many craters.
The air la clear and Invigorating and
tha populaoe la taking hold of the relief
work with energy and vim under the
personal . direction of - King Humbert.
The blue watera of the bay never looked
calmer or more beautiful than they are
thla morning, with only a column of
amoke ascending from tha volcano.
Order Is being vapidly restored. Tbe
government haa rushed to , the aid of
tha atrlcken dtatriot with every facility
of military organisation, Xroope are
being poured into the district and rescue
work la being earned on systematically.
Clothing and food are being hurried to
tbe sufferers . as f sat as the crippled
transportation Unas will permit. Large
ganga of men are working clearing away
the aahea from the railroad tracks and
within a few days It will be possible ta
travel. through, the country by rail.
-"The' number of bodies found la constantly-
Increasing. ' Scarcely "a hamlet
but what offers up its victims. Animals
in the atrlcken district are dying by
thousands and the etench from thou
sands of decaying carcasses Is adding te
the horror of tha condition. Fully (.000
men ara engaged In cleaving away v the
debrla in the burled districts
More than , 000 houses have bean de
etroyed - or rendered untenable.- r it - la
expected that tha dead will 'probably
reach- 1,600. At Ottajano alone more
than . 600 bodies have been extrtoated
from the rulna. . .
The detonations - of Mount ' Vesuvius
have ceased and the lava Is cooling on
all aldea. Tha maaquea and umbrellas
which have been worn here for the last
week were discarded for the first time
today. Shops ' ware ' reopened, " colors
were worn on the atreeta and the city la
resuming tta normal-life, -4
Details of narrow escapes are con
stantly coming to light, while from the
burled cities coma ghastly tales of
death and dlaaster. There is hardly a
living thing In the Vesuvius district,
birds, animals and people having de
aerted the region or lie burled under
neath the deep fall of aahea.
Chief Observer Mattuccl, who haa
ateadfaatly remained at his post in the
wrecked observatory -on Mount Veeue
vlua, telegrapha more assurances today.
He states that observations baaed upon
hla experiences lead to the belief on
hla part that the explosive period of the
eruption is over, although be is unable
td prsdlCTw1tBceTtarnty--o- aeoeunt-of

The committee of Italians which will

aend free any messagee relating to sub
scriptions for the benefit of the people
in southern Italy. Anyone wishing te
communicate with the headquarters la

a supplementary fund from Portland
will find this a material aid. Thla offer
