KILAUEA BOILING UP.
The Lava Rising Twelve Feet q Day and n Mig
Eruption Expected.

HONOLULU, Oct. l. via San Francisco. Oct. g.
The smoking lava In tho bed at tho bot
tom of the lake in the crater of kilauea
has risen over 100 feet in eight days and is
rising twelve feet a day. so that experts
declare the volcano will soon equal II not sur
pass It's previous great outbursts. When Con-
grcssmen Berry and Loudenslager were at the
volcano n fortnight ago they were surprised to
sec Il fountain Of molten lava 900 feet in height
play for an hour or moro. From that timo tho
activity has continued. until now the lava is
within 400 feet Of the bod over which 1t flowed
at tho last great eruption.
1t is believed that the crust OF hardened lava
that formed Mt tho bottom OF the crater has been
forced up by the enormou pressure OF steam
from below. THIS rise could not be noticed Mt
first because of tho dense smoke which en-.
vclopcs tho crater. Now tho smoke Is disap'
pearlng and several fountains OF molten lava
are playing continue usly.

MADRID, Oct. s.-Thc Cabinet at its meetino
tomorrow will formulate a decree recalling
Captain-Genoral Wcylcr from Cuba and np-
pointing Gen. Ramon Blanco in his stead. The
decree will give notice OF tho appointment Of
four divisional commanders.
The Htrdido says that 20, 1000 troops will Ac-
company Gen. Blanco when he goes to Cuba In
November.
The Government has received several de-
spatches from syndicatcs and associations in
Havana asking that Wcylcr be retained as Cap
tain-Gcneral OF the island.
Prime Minister Sagasta, replying to a similar
appeal from tho volunteer organization OF Ha-
vana, reminded the scnders that the Constitu.
ton forbids military institutions to participate
in public demonstrations that arc likely to raise
difficulties for tho Government.
Gen. Wey)er has cablcd to Sehor Sagasta, say.
ing that IL he had been merely tho Cover
nor Of Cuba he should have FASTENED to
re ign. but his duty, as commander Of tho
troops, to face the enemy. prevented him
from retiring. Ho added that he could
rely upon tho absolute support OF the Au-
economist ana Constitutional parties, and also
upon public opinion, but that this support was
insufficient without the confidence of the Gov
eminent, especially in view Of the censure Of
his conduct by Liberal members OF the Corteu
and Liberal journals and public opinion in the
United States. which was largely influenced by
the censure he referred to.
Replying to this message Senior Sagastn, after
thanking Gen. wcylcr, said:
Il assure you that the Government recognizes
your services and values them as they deserve,
but 1t thinks that the change OF policy. in order
to succeed. requires that the authorities be In
! accord with the Ministry.
This has nothing to do with the confidence
felt in you by the Government. for tho ~responsi-
bility Of any policy does not fall upon those who
carry it ont. but upon the Government which in
spires 1t. l will shortly communicate to you the

rent of air made chemically pure by
passing it over sulphuric acid. the air
to be purified afterwards by: fire. When

Volume of Present Business Larger Than
Year Ago.
New YORK, June l4.-Bradstreets
says: Notwithstanding cool wet weather
which checked the distribution Of sea-
sonable goods, disappointment at the
restriction of distribution of merchan-
disc in the spring and early summer is
giving way to h~opefulness for the fall
trade. Business is better than a year
ago. The volume is larger and there
are more people employed than prior to
election. The movement of merchandise
in the past five months has been disap-
pointing, but jobbers are beginning to
report fair orders for fall delivery. The
encouraging features announced this
week are the improvement i'll May rail
road earnings and the advance III the
price of Bessemer pig iron, although the
latter is less significant gan some re-
ports indicate. Manufacturers Of wool
ems are more hopeful, the outlook for
higher prices stimulating speculative
demand for both raw and manufactured
products. Crop prospects, except In
Oregon and Washington where rain is
needed. continue favorable
