TERROR REIGNS AT NAPLES!
[Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan.]
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Naples, April lo? ThU has been a day
of indescribable terror here t:id in all
the cities in the vicinity of Mt Vesuvius.
It is giving place to a night -jf horror
to portray whicji words fail To the
wholesale destruction of property is
being a^ded that of human life. More
than 600 metideath in the last 24 hours,
and more than a half million peopla are
wildly fleeing tbey know not where,
but any way andjevery way to increase
the distance which separates them
from the terrible fury of the belching
volcano. And the eruption and destruc
tlveness grows hourly worse. Number- [
less craters are vomltiag great streams j
of molten lava and earthquakes and j
lightning are continuous
Two hundred peoole gathered in the j
market at Mount Olive to esope the!
fall of hot ashes which fell on the roof |
to the depth of srverai feet, causing it
to collapse and fall upon those under
neath. All of them were killed.
Twenty were killed at Sorrento through
the falling houses which gave WHy
under the weight of ashes that had
fallen upon them. In the same way
were killed 200 at San Guiseppe.
The railrod tracks leading Into this
city are buried In ashes and the air is
so charged with gasses tdat breathing
is a matter of extreme d HHculty. The
sea is greatly agitated and a tidal wave
is feared.
It is thought tbe volume of the lava
flow has slightly diminished but no end
of the awful disturbance is in si/ht.
Rpp rts from evt-rywi ere are of de
vasta'ion. The towns ol San fiirogio,
Cremonia, Pori ici, liegina and Torre
de Gree t are surrounded by l?va and
the population has fled The inhabi
tants of Torre Ann nziat a are prepared
to leave at a moment's notice In all
the towns for miles from Vesuvius
houses are being crushed by the fall of
ashes, which covers the ground in this
vicinity to the depth nf [our feet. Otta
j 'no is buried in ashes
The oily of ( iaserta, < Dntaining 35,000
inhabitants, is doornt ?d. At Nola a
population of 15 000 ^ being buried
in hot a-hes Thou??ns- nf soldiers with
artillery carls are mov rig the inhabi
tants All told more t *n 20 cities and
towns ha^e been destroy edand des- r'ed.
Everything is in a s ute of confusion.
Women are raiding churches to get
statues of sa'nts 10 cany for the pur
nose of warding off da. gpr. The peo
ple an- begging Kii g Victor Emanuel
and Queen Helens to stop tbe eruption.
The prisoners at Torre Annunziata
