Visitors Flocking to Points of
Vantage to View the
Outbreak.
ACTIVITY DAILY INCREASING.
Anxiety Felt at Hilo and Other Points
About Severe Earthquake
Shocks.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, July q. .-Kilauea,
the great Hawaiian volcano, after state
ofquiescence lasting over year and a half.
and broken by but two short intervals Of
spasmodic effort, has again entered upon
period of violent activity. At the bot
tom of Halemaumau, the central pit and
fire hole of the nine-mile crater, lake of
liquid fire has already formed, streams of
molten lava are pouring into it from all
sides and two new minor craters have de-
veIoped upon the floor of the immense
pit, which, taken collectively, is known
as Kilauea, the largest active volcano In
the world.
The outbreak occurred at few mo-
ments after o'clock OH the evening of
the 11th inst, and from all reports so far
received from the Kamaainas (old set
tlers) of the big island there is every in
dication OF permanency and great en-
largement of the area over which the
fiery streams will run and crimson foun-
tains play. Inter-island steamers from
the Hawaiian metropolis are crowded with
local visitors, who are focking to see the
latest phases of natures most spectacular
phenomenon.
1t is over two months now since
Mokuaweoweo, the summit crater of
Mauna Loa, suddenly and without warn
ing burst into splendor and shot column
of binding light into the sl1y-a rose.
colored shaft hundreds of feet in diameter
which startled the inha bitants of all Hawaii
and was plainly visible from the higher
attitudes about Honolulu. Considerable
anxiety was felt at Hilo and other points
on the island of Hawaii, as it has fre.
quently happened in the past that an
outburst at the summit was followed by
earthquake and lava flows down the noun
tain side, either one likely to be most dis
astrous in effect. However, the period of
duration was but few days, and the fires
disappeared almost as quickly as they
came. Now they have blazed up again in
the old stamping ground of Pele. the
fire goddess and in all probability have
come to stay.
Latest returns report a constantly in.
creasiug activity in the crater, two new
lakes at points not far distant from
Halemaumau, where the seat of the great
est turbulence has generally been for gem
erations past, and, what will prove of
prime interest to prospective visitors,
chance to see the whole show without leav-
ing the comfortable vehicles which con.
vey one to the hotel from the sea.
A good carriage road extends part of the
way round the rim of the main crater,
while the situation OF the new fire lakes is
such that the play of the fountains,
streams of lava and other features are
plainly visible from the top of the walls.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July %. - A
heavy wind and rain storm passed over
Indiana this evening and reports tonight
indicate the damage is general. The wind
almost destroyed the Eastern routes of

The successive cloud bursts which have

these, was literally torn to pieces by
lightning. The other victims are Andrew
Haworth of Liberty and Benton Reave of
Fairfield.

NEW VENTURE
The Editor Said to Be Arrang.
ing to Start a Paper in
Chicago.
1t Will Be Democratic in Politics and
Support Bryan aud
Sewall.

CHICAGO. ILL, July 2s.-A morning
paper says: The Democratic party, If
present plans do not miscarry, will have a
paper voicing Democratic opinions in
Chicago within a month. The new sheet
will be called the Chicago Daily Enquirer,
but further than that the promoters re-
fuse to divulge their plans. The capital
stock of the ENQUIRER will be 81, ,000, 900, all
of which is in sight, though as yet none
has been subscribed.
Though there has been talk of starting
free-silver paper in this city for year, the
present movement was not begun until
after Bryan's nomination. When the
local Democratic paper bolted the plat
form the De mocrats decided to issue the
Enquirer. On Saturday, when they learned
that John r. Mclean intended starting a
paper similarly named, they called on P.
j. Deviin and asked him to design head
and have il copyrighted.
Devlin said last night the paper would
soon be issued, but refused to saw who the
editors would be. The men back of the
Enquirer, Devlin says, have not been part
of any previous effort to start free silver
sheet here. Some were Chicago men and
some were from other cities, east and west.

but am not at liberty to disclose their

Other men in position to know of the
scheme say the prime mover Is Editor
Hearst of the New York Journal and San
Francisco Examiner. The paper will
champion the cause of the Democratic
nominees, Bryan and Sewall, and they
say it's advocacy of free silver will be of
the rampant kind. In appearance it will

MUTINY OF COhV|cTS,
Exciting Scenes at the Fort
Leavenworth Government
Penitentiary.
Several Prisoners Shot by the Guards
and the Others Forced to
Submission.

LEAVENWORTH. KANs., July 2S.-A
mutiny broke ont among the convicts at
the United States penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, and wild time followed.
The trouble started with a gang of thirty
men under six guards who were at work
on the prison farm.
George Yeast. an Indian Territory des-
perado, SIX feet six inches tall, was the
leader, and at given signal the men
broke. The guards began shooting at
once with guns loaded with buckshot, and
most OF the prisoners gave up and fell fat
upon the ground to avoid being shot.
Yeast and two other prisoners were Sc
riously wounded. Yeast will die.
The shooting caused general alarm,
and soon guards, soldiers and ambulances
came rushing from the fort garrison. The
men shot were loaded on ambulances and
taken to the prison.

which rushed past were seen small houses.
outbuildings, fences. grainstacks and other
evidence of the severity of the storm at
points above.
Specials from surrounding towns report
loss and damage from last nights storm
as follows:
At Claysville houses were uLroofed and
many buildings totally wrecked. The
United Presbyterian Church and high
school buildings were struck by lightning
and demolished. Crops suffered greatly.
Entire orchards were Ieveled and de-
stroyed. No lives were reported lost.
At Washington, Pa, the damage in the
oil fields will be enormous. A great
number of bridges were swept away and
roads rendered impossible.
at Canonsburg, Connellsville, West
Newton and several other points the loss
is reported heavy.
John Fiegus and George Miller, with
several companions, were camped on the
banks of the Allegheny River near Aspin-
wall. Their tents were sheltered beneath
large sycamore tree. Either lightning
or wind tore a huge limb from the tree
and it dropped directly upon the tent in
which the mem bers of the club had sought
shelter
Fiegus' skull was crushed. Miller was
pinned to the ground and his back
broken. Five other members OF the party
were held to the ground under the heavy
limb and severly injured.
John Aufholder met death while striv-
ing to reach place of shelter In Second
avenue.
Throughout Pittsburg and Allegheny
buildings were unroofed, hundreds of trees
uprooted, electric wires prostrated, win
dows shattered, outbuildings and even
dwellings upset and ruined.
At Mcdonald, Pa, last night the rain
| fall was unprecedented. The streets were
swept clear, and the board walks, which
lodged against the bridge spanning an or
dinariIy small creek just below the town,
backed up the water until the lower por-
ton of the city was for a time inundated.
No lives were lost, but the damage to
property was heavy. Several coal mines
were flooded.
Near Cecil, three miles southeast, six
bodies have been removed from the mass
of debris in Cecil Valley. Oil wells and
shanties occupied by oil-producers. and
workmer are thickIy located along the
banks of Cecil Creek. Torrents swept
through them and gave no time fol- es-
cape.
The report of the drowning of sixteen
men Dy cloudburst last night in the vi
cinity of the Beadline mine is confirmed.
The men were coal-miners and occupied
one house.
Pittsburg and Allegheny estimates OF
the total damage run anywhere from $500,
600 to 81, 100000 In Allegheny County the
damage to three churches will reach $65, ,O0O
or more.

to Spoil Their Sport.
CHICAGO, ILL. July 2S.-A private let
ter from Dublin gives some interesting
details of the feud that is raging between
the cyclists of England and ireland. The
trouble started with the adoption of a
resolution by the board of control of the
National Cyclists Union of Great Britain
declaring that after June 15 no entries
from Irish riders should be accepted for
English championship races. Preylous to
this there had been an agreement between
the two principal amateur cycling organi-
zations of England and Ireland, by which
members of each were entitled to compete
i'll races on either side of the Irish Chan
mel. Upon the issuance of the new order
an extraordinary general meeting was held
of the council of the Irish Cyclists Asso-
citation, and resolution adopted barring
riders holding certificates of the English
body from competing at Irish champion
ship sports.
