ERUPTION OF . VESUVIUS. Increased Activity of the Volcano Frightens Neapolitans. Naples, Sept. 18.--A state of gloomy apprehension prevails among the popu Who M lation regardfng the eruption of Vesuvi us, which is hourly becoming more ac tive and menacing. Streams of lava are spreading in every direction. The most threatening of these flows through the Vedrino valley, which is almost filled. The observatory, which originally stood at a height of 610 meters, is now only 27 meters above the sf a level, owing to the sinking of the ground. Seven new craters have formed around the central one, and this has not tended to diminish the fears formerly felt, which were based upon the eruption of stones and scoria similiar to that which occurred in 1892. LAUNCH FERNANDO A LAWFUL PRIZE Truth About the Trouble at Manza nillo Subsequent to the Suspension of Hostilities Castillo and his Staff to Return to Santiago de Cuba. New York, Sept. 19. A dispatch to the Herald from Santiago de Cuba says: In regard to the etory about the trouble at Manzanillo, prior to the news of peace, it is said the Cubans had cap tured the small steam launch Fernando in the harbor. One Cuban was killed the next day, when the Spanish attempt ed to recapture the launch. The Fer nando was taken by the Cubans to Guamo, on the Cauto river, a town which they were then occupying. Salvador Rios, in command of the Cubans, after the news of peace, hearing that it was the intention of the Span iards to march to Guamo for the pur pose of bringing back the Fernando, in formed theSpanish colonel in command at Manzanillo that, notwithstanding the suspension of hostilities, if any move was made an attack would be begun by the entire force of Cubans. The Cubans then began making preparations for the attack, and mined the entrance to the Cauto river. The Spanish commander gave no fur ther intimation of a desire to disturb the Cubans, but he refused to allow, the Cubans to come to town to purchase food. A government steamer went Sunday night to bring back General Castillo and bis staff from Santa Cruz, whither they had gone to confer with the Cuban pro visional government. Caah in Your Cneclta.

SITUATION IS VERY GRAVE Philipino Congress May Ask for a Pro tectorate They are Kindly Dis pased Toward Us. New York, Sept. 19. The following dispatch has been received at the Asso ciated Prees office : "Manila, Sept. 19. The Filipino gov ernment desires to inform the American government and people that the many rumors circulated regarding the strained relations between the Filipinos and American forces are baoe, malicious slander 8 of an enemy to both parties; are without truth and are circulated for the purpose of prejudicing the appeal of the Filipinos for release from the opposition and cruelty of Spain. "The relations of our people and yours have been and will continue of the most friendly nature, and we have withdrawn our forces from the suburbs of Manila as additional evidence of our confidence in the great American republic. "AGUINALDO." Washington, Sept. 19. The Associ ated Press dispatch conveying Aguidal do's message to the American people waa regarded with much interest at the White House.

BARRACKS BADLY NEEDED If Troops at the Presidio Are Not Housed During the Coming Winter, a Large Increase in the Number of Hospital Cases is Inevitable. San Fkancisco, Sept. 10. While Gen eral Miller, in charge of the Presidio military post, is strongly in favor of substituting substantial barracks tor the tents now iu use, be will not act in the matter until the return of General Mer riaoi from Honolulu.

But even those would be vastly superior to the scant protection against the elements which the tents afford. The necessity of more careful bousing of the troops during the coming winter is made apparent by the increase in the sick list at Camp Merriam. There have been nine cases reported at the division field hospital, making 318 in all, as against 300 when the camp was moved. Among tbe new cases are two of measles and one suspected typhoid fever case. TENNESSEEANS TO BLAME Individual Responsibility, However, is Not Fixed in the Report, the Board Having Been Unable to Secure the Guilty Soldiers. San Francisco, Sept. 19 The board of survey appointed to discover the Ten nessee volunteers responsible for the out rage on the Thomas family, has made its report to General Miller. The board reports that it has been un able to discover the names of any of the participants iu the riot, except those of tbe four Tenesseeans who have been tried already by court-martial Ander son, Davis, Clark and Scruggs. In the report, the board states its be lief that members of the Kansas, New York and Iowa regiment?, and the Cali fornia heavy artillery were a part of tbe mob, but that the greater part of it was from Tennessee. There is no evidence to show that in jury to the property of the Thomases was caused by any other than the Ten nesseeans, and is the belief of the board that most of the members of the other commands that joined themselves to the Tennesseeana were attracted as specta tors. koticb.
