Naptes, April 11? The eruption of
ML. Vesuvius Is growing more and
more terrible. Today it began with
renewed vigor and the area of its des
troying influence has been enormously
increased. The helpless terror of the 1
people is pittiful beyond description.
The number of dead h&s been increased
to 2,000. All who can escape are fleeing.
Tremenduous volumes of black smoke
are leaping two miles high, and great
masses of incandescent stones are i
; thrown 3,000 feet into the air. New i
fissures are being opened in the volcano
far below the conn of the crater and
through these are pouring great i
streams ot molten lava. ,
The wind is carrying the ashes and
smoke over Naples which i? enveloped ^
today in complete darkness. Communi
cation with the city by the sea is cut '
off and thousands are fainting from the <
noisome and poisonous sulphuric gasses <
that load the atmosphere. Those who i
have not surrendered to disp&ir are
Seeing from the city to the north and i
Dorthwest. The air is unbearable and i
the heat intense. The city is in imrai
inent dan. er of absolute destruction, j
Another examination, obtained this
I
morning', of the site of Boscotrecase j
Joes not reveal a vestige of that p'ace. ;
It is as completely buried as were)
Pompeii and Herculaneum Lava is at ^
he outskirts of Torre del Greco, at the i
i 1
sdge of the sea. The population of .
Kher towns had fled to this place which
n turn has been* deserted. I
The national observatory and the
?ailrod near the cone of the crater
vere precipitated iDto it today.
Ashes cover many buildings in the I
path of destruction tc a depth of 15
feet.
Iscbia, 30 miles west of Mt. Vesuvius,
is being- evacuated.
Thousands on thousards of acre* of
vineyards and f irms, with their build
ings, stock i>nd poultry have been dei
troyec, and the loss of the farmi ii
forever.
It is believed that the ruins of Pom
jeii will be buried again.
