Naples, April 9.— Mount Vesuvius is
a colossal cauldron of fire and the town
of Boscatrecase, on its southern declivi­
ty, has been transformed into a gray is­
land of ruin by the ashes from the crat­
er of the volcano. Torrents of liquid
fire, resembling in thedistanceserpents
with glittering yellow and black scales,
are coursing in all directions, amid
rumblings, detonations and earth trem­
blings, w hile a pall of sulphurous smoke
that hovers over all makes breathing
difficult.
The streams of lava are resistless.
They snap like pipestems the trunks of
chestnut trees hundreds o* years old,
and blight with their torrid breath the
blooms on the peach trees before the
trees themselves have hem reached.
The molton streams do not spare the
homes of the peasants, and when these
have been razed they dash into the
wells as thongh seeking to slake their
thirst, and, after filling them, continue
their course down the mountainside.
Everywhere in the vicinity of the
volcano pitiful scenes are witnessed—
women are tearing their hair in their
grief and old men are crying alond at
the loss of their beloved homesteads.
New craters have opened at different
points on the mountain, hat it is im­
possible to ascertain their number or
where they are situated.
Naples is the mecca of the alarmed
country people and they have been
flocking into the city in great numbers
The lava flow approached the out­
skirts of the village of Clarem and than
suddenly ceased advancing. Fitly acres
of ground about the village were over­
flowed and the crops ruined.
The eruption has caused a great deal
of damage, as the heating lava streams
have withered vegetation, while the
ashes have settled on everything.

Pendleton— Investigation of the con­
dition of growing wheat in various
parts of Umatilla county shows the
damage sustained in the March cold
spell was slight.
Instead of many
thousand acres to reseed, as at firs: re-
ported, not more than 2,000 acres in
the entire county have been reseeded.
Many farmers secured seed wheat and
vitrol, in many instances paying fancy
prices for blnestem, which was scarce,
only to find that their grain was not in­
jured or only slightly. The only see
tion where there was any loss was the
northwestern part, where the soil is
light and there was comparatively no
snowfall. The scare was due to the
fact that the tops of the grain in some
places was frozen, but ttiie is consider­
ed a benefit instead of an injury by
many, as they say that it has caused
the grain to stool out more than other­
wise.
The fruit is also ceming out nicely
and the damage w ill not be nearly so
great as waB feared. The peaches suf­
fered most, but there w ill be a partial
crop and unless a later frost occurs
there will be a full crop of all other va­
rieties of fruit.
