Forth Fire and Lava.
CITY OF MEXICO, March 27.-Great
alarm is felt among the people living
in the Tonolu district of the state of
Chiahas over the eruption of the San
Martin volcano, which has been belch-
ing forth flame, lava and ashes for
the last two weeks. This volcano is
situated in the very midst of a popn-
lous agricultural country, and at it's
1t has been extinct for more than a
century and gave no indication of be-
coming active until about three
weeks ago, when there was q
series of slight shocks of earth
quake felt in that locality, fol-
lowed by a blast of sulphurous smoke
from the volcano. Inhabitants of the
surrounding country abandoned their
homes and sought refuge at safe dis
lance.
These earthquakes were followed by
one of the most magnificent and awe.
inspiring explosions ever witness ed. It
occurred at night and the heavens for
100 miles around were lighted up. The
flames rose straight up to height of
nearly 1000 feet. The lava poured
down the sides of the mountain in
streams, DESTROYING the crops and all
vegetation at the base. The grand
sight was witnessed by the people liv-
ing in the city of Tuxtla ia the district,
and the alarm was great, particularly
among the common people. This
severe eruption lasted an hour, grad
ually subsiding, but the lava is still
flowing from the volcano.

SECRETARY GRESHAM OBJECTS.
The Constitution and Declaration of Inde-
pendence Will Not Come to Chicago.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 3I.-The
original drafts OF the Declaration of
Independence and Constitution of the
United States will not be sent to the
Worlds Fair. Secretary Gresham
has decided that the risk is too great,
and the precious old parchments will
not be exposed to the perils of the
journey and the chances of mishap
while on exhibition.
All preparations had been made to
send both documents to the exposi-
ton, though there was some opposi-
ton to the project at the time it was
decided upon. 1t was thought that
they would form the most interesting
part OF the exhibit ofthe state depart
ment, and that it would be but Justice
to the millions who would visit Chi
cago to give them a look at the corner
stones OF the government.
The secretary OF state, however,
under whose charge the documents
are, has come to the conclusion that
even so great an occasion does not
warrant imperiling the documents. A
railway journey, even under the most
fortunate circumstances and the most
careful handling of the documents,
would necessarily involve a certain
amount of wear and tear on the frag-
lie parchments, and they will not be
disturbed from their long rest in the
department of state. The most elab-
crate precautions will be used in look
ing after the treaties and other papers
which will be removed to Chicago
about the middle of April.
