Rome, April 2s.--At the session of the
Chamber of Deputies, yesterday, Signor
Sella, minister of finance, read dispatch
from Prime Minister Lauza, who proceeded
to Naples last night, rectifying the estimate
OF the killed given in the dispatch received
yesterday. Minister Lauza stated that only
twelve persons have thus far been killed
and twelve injured by the running lava.
No foreigners are among them; only in
habitants of the villages at the base Of the
mountain. The villages of San Sebastian
and Massadisomnia have been almost en-
tirely destroyed, but all their inhabitants
succeeded in getting away safely.
Naples, April 29.-Thc view of Vesu-
vius from this city is now the grandest that
has been witnessed since the year 1881,
Many persons have taken advantage of the
panic among the people of the towns which
were threatened with destruction to take
whatever goods they could find, and the
government has been compelled to order
troops to those places to prevent the steal
ing of the abandoned property. In this
city the Bourse has ceased and business is
almost entirely suspended. The people
use umbrellas to protect them from the
falling ashes. Rain is badly wanted, else
the crops will be destroyed. As the worst
is now believed to be over, the anxiety of
the people has considerably lessened.
Naples, April 29-Morning.-A sound
as Of thunder accompanies the discharges
from Mount Vesuyius. The wind is blow
ing in this direction, carrying dense clouds
OF smoke and ashes over the city. The
ashes are falling in the streets like snow,
and have already reached depth of two or
three inches. The rumblng inside the vol
cano continues, but no fresh craters have
opened. The lava has ceased flowing.
Naples, April 30, 2 P. M.-Showers of
sand have succeeded the rain of ashes
which was falling this morning. The erup-
ton is now accompanied by fearful electric
phenomena. Lightning darts necessarily
from the summit, and the quakings Of the
mountain are more violent and frequent.
The thunder is continuous. Burning Gin
ders, stones and scora arc falling thick
and fast in the town of Massa di Soma,
which is entirely deserted.
