ST. MIcHAELs, Feb. 81, 1911

Dear Sir,-On tie goth, 30th, and 3lst
ult. we were alarmed by frequent shocks Of
earthquakes--ssy upwards OF twenty and ON
the est inst. information was received hero
that a Volcano had broken out in fhe sea, 1--WE
leagues west of this port, and half league
from the land, in fifty or sixty, and some
fisherman say in seventy TO eighty iathoms Of
water. | repaired Immediately to that part
OF the island, and 10 my utter astonishment,
saw vast column Of black smoke issuing
out Of the ocean. The wind was a gale from
the seu,hward and blew tho smoke over the
land The sea was excessively agitatcd, and
the surf on the shore was frightful. ! was
assured by the peasants, that the preceding
night fire mad been emitted and being cuff
Gus to ascertain that iac., returned 10 the
city, and desired my son and son-in-law to go
and tarry opposite the Volcano all night
They did SO and saw at various times dur
ing the night, FIRE issue forth like number
of rockets, discharged together. Large
masses Of stone or lava were continually
thrown above the surface of the sea. Won
derfuI, indeed, how fire could pierce such
vast body OF water,-yet such was actually
the case. In days 1t entirely subsidcd,
leaving a Shoai on which the ssa breaks
What happy dcliverance for US, for had
this formidable Volcano opened on the land,
it woul probably have gone near 10 ruin this
Hns island.--I am, &c. &c. TIL.

Ken. dated
NAcHITocHEs, Sept. 60.
A Spaniard arrived here YESTERDAY who
made oath before DR.. Sib,v, a Justice os the
peace, that he was an al.tllerist sometime
since at st. Antonio. in the service of the Re-
publicans, and that the corps To which he
had been attachet d had joined the roval par
", much against his inclination ; and that CO.
loncs Mancaac & Bernard, with capts Gon-
satOes and Hannandes, (all i'll the repnbli-
can INTEREST," had been empowered TO go to
the U. ;. with instructions to treat for arms
and ammunition, saying that the rerablicans
had had upwards ofthree millions of dollars
which the ". 5. government could have bv
sending a vessel round 20 bring it away
and that Governor Corr,ero who commands
some where in the interior, learning of the
expedition, gave intimation OF it to- Gov. Sal

The report is generally believed here
as the Spaniard appears intelligent.
Ftc moreover states, that Manshac had an
