- DREADFUL CALAMITY-The telegraph brings
additional intelligence of the dreadful calamity
that visited the small island of Tagalonda, in
the Malay Archipelago, about 30 miles north
east of the island of Celebes. The volcano Of
Kuang broke out after long interval of mac
tivity. 1t was preceded by terrible earth
quake which unroofed dwellings and their
walls asunder. The eruption was OF the most
fearful character. Several craters opened
around the side of the volcano and continued
their action at the same time, the rapldity of
the explosion causing tremendous roar which
was heard all over the neghboring islands,
The outbreak was accompanied by "a concus-
sion OF the sea. A wave forty yards in height
rushed with lightning speed aud swept all hu-
man beings, houses, cattle and horses from he
island. From every crater proceeded flashes of
electric tightening and volumes of smoke. Red
hot stones disrupted fragments of rock and
currents of mud were thrown with immense
force high in the hair and the earth was rent
open ali Ground the volcano. Besides covering
the whole surface of the island the matter
thrown out accumulated In some places form
ing hills many feet in height. Amid most
terrible explosion an island suddenly rose from
the sea. Not single being on the island could
be seen. The number of persons who persisted
was 416.
