Dantes' Prison Home.

The General Atmosphere of Paris
Does Not Incline Toward America.
While the reception accorded to the
United States peace commission at farls
is all that could be desired, and While the
French foreign Office has taken great
Mains to treat the American and Spanish
commissioners in precisely the same ma u
ner. it must be admitted that the general
atmosphere of Paris, especially the dlpio-
matte atmosphere, does not incline To-
wards America. 1t is the general impress
sion that the American commissioners
have instructions to provide for the re-
tention of Manila and the Island Of Luz
zon "and for commission to pretend TO
negotiate is farce" said prominent
diplomat. He continued America VIII
put herself, automatically, in the wrong
when she exceeds the provisions OF the
protocol, which both nations signed. l
know the Spanards have come prepared
TO make concessions; but, if the Amerl-
cans instructions are of an uncomproms-
ing nature, which is generally believed 10
be the case, you can rest assured that the
work of the commission will be futile.
The Spaniards will retire and America
will at least have to threaten a resumption
of hostilities before she will gain her
point" The French newspapers, beyond
announcing the arrival of the commls-
sions, make no comment upon the matter.

DEATH IN ITS FLAMES.
Eruption of Vesuvius Threatens DE
struction of Naples.


struction of Naples.
Vcsuyius. the greatest volcano in the
world, is again in eruption, belching forth
graat masses of fire and molten lava,
which threaten destruction to the city OF
NapIes. Nine new craters have formed
within the past week around the central
crater The smoke, in brownlsh yellow
cloud. overhands the mountain like great
pail. The lava torrent is half mile In
width and divides into three principal
streams, each seventy to eighty yards
wide. These as they pour down the noun
tain side subdivide into numerous smaller
streams, carrying death to everything llv-
ing, and advancing at the rate of forty
yards an hour.
Lava in volume of thousand tons a
minute pours out of the volcano. 1t mas
filed Vetrana valley, deep ravine. The
ashes lie several inches deep for long
distance down the sides Of the mountain
and in the adjacent villages AT night the
volcano is splendidly awful. The crater
belches forth flame, which rends the pail
of smoke, reaches to. the heavens. and at
times takes on the colors of the rainbow.
The lights are reflected in the broad wat
ers of the Bay of Naples, the loveliest in
the world.
Tremblings Of the earth and subterra-
mean explosions precede the outpourngs
of lava and the wells on the mountain
sides are beginning to dry up. A great
stream of lava threatens to overwhelm the
observatory built on that part of the vol
cano known as Monte COntaroni. This
observatory is on a hill 1900 feet above
the sea level This observatory was es-
tablished for the purpose Of giving warn
ing of all eruptions to those living on the
mountain.
Vesuvius is eight miles from Naples,
whose bay it overlooks, at the eastern ex-
tremity of a chain extending to the island
of Ischa. 1t is believed that the whole
gulf of Naples was once an immense era
ter, the northern end of great rent in
the earth's crust, Aetna being the south
ern end and Stromboi about the middle.
At its base Vesuyius is thirty miles in cir
conference. Its height varies after it's
eruptions, but the average is about 1000
feet. Its great crater is some 1000 feet
in diameter and about 500 feet deep.

CuBANS THREATEN HOSTILITY,
Would Fight Americans Unless Their
independence Is Granted.

Reports from Guines, province of Ha-
vana, say that no farmer or landholder or
tenant has turned his hand to the sowing
of crops in that vicinity, and the district,
therefore, will have no potatoes, tobacco,
cane. cabbage, or other vegetables this
year. This will further impoverish the
district and add to the distress. From
now until February it will be impossible
for farmers to sow crops and in February
the ground will be prepared for spring har-
vest. Therefore the next six months will
see a great deal Of want and misfortune
in that vicinity. This state of affairs is
directly due to the unsettled condition of
the country and the attitude of Il cerain
portion of the Cubans who openly threaten
hostility to the United States and are pre-
pairing to take the field and wage a guer-
rilla warfare against the Americans if
any form of government short of absolute
independence for the Cubans is establish
ed in the island. This matter is openly
discussed in the public meeting places of
the Cubans at Havana. the plan finding

REPORT ATTACK ON CERVERA
SCHLEY,S ENTIRE FLEET SHELLS
SANTIAGO HARBOR.
DISCREDITED BY NAVY OFFICIALS
Dispatches Telling of Such an Attack
Were Received From Cape
Haytien.

There was great excitement at Wash
ington Tuesday night over. the report
of battle between Schley and the
Spaniards inside Santiago harbor.
According to these Schley first at
tackled the outside Notifications, then
went up the tortuous channel and
fought both the feet and the fortifioa-
tions.
Details were necessarily very meager,
but the reports from Spanish sources
indicate a victory for the American
feet. Nothing was received at the
navy department.
The reports were from the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press at
Cape Haytien, and they gave nothing
more than that the battle occurred.
The Associated Press man at Cape
Haytien is regarded as reliable. His
information must have been received
by cable from Santiago, and was,
therefore, from Spanish source. The
fact that it indicated an American vic
tory is regarded as particularly signifi-
cant.
In the absence of details there was a
disposition to criticize Schley for
going in Santiago harbor. While he
has been left unhampered by instruc-
tions, it was generally believed at
Washington that he would not attempt
to go inside the harbor, especially
since he knew the army has been pre-
pairing an attack from the land side.
According to advices HON Spanish
source, fourteen American warships
and two torpedo boats were engaged
in the combat at Santiago.
A very careful fire was directed
against the batteries Of Moro Castle
until 3:45 p. m, when discharges OF
cannon began to be heard at sea, of
the port. These discharges continued
until o'clock and then entirely
ceased. From the Spanish account it
| is impossible to Judge as the merits OF
the encounter.
Naval Oficers Discredit 1t.
The naval officials absolutely dis
credit the news from Cape Haytien to
the effect that Commodore Schley
forced the entrance to Santiago bay
and engaged the Spanish fleet in the
| harbor
