THE MAUSA LOA ERUPTION
Extent of the Lava Flow-Natives Leaving
Vicii ity of the Volcano

Chicago, July 27-A dispatch to the Tri-
bune from Port Townsend Wash, says
that the Hawaiian Islands have been yio-
lently shaken by an earthquake and
Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, continues in erup-
ton. Damage by the earthquake amounts
probably to $4,000. The news was brought
by the steamer Port Albert, nine days from
Honolulu Many excursion steamers are
daily leaving Honolulu loaded with people
who are anxious to see the volcanic dis
play. There are two streams of lava, one
on the Kau side, and If this continues to
fiow the government road between Pana-
lulu and the Volcano hotel will be oblite-
rated The lava is following much the
same course as the flow of 1881. The other
stream is making towards Hilo. What
course the lava will take when It reaches
the plateau between the two mountains
cannot be determined. Slight elevation in
the way of 1t may divert its course to
Kaytor Hill, though old-timers on the island
believe that it will follow the course of tie
flow of 1851. The flow is from an elevation
of between 1900 and 1900 feet. The erup-
ton of 1852 lasted five months. those of 1857,
1859 and 1880 four months, and that of 1881
about eight months.
Kilauea also has long been exhibiting
signs of an outbreak, although authorities
declare that there is no connection be-
tween the two volcanoes.
The Sc had been acting strangely
around Honolulu for several days before
the eruption, and earthquakes occurred, al
though there was no rough weather There
was a choppy sea- and mariners said that
1t was caused by volcanic influence. Ma
tives fishing at the Kaaluala report that
there have been several tidal waves along
the coast during the last month, some of
which were large enough to upset their ca
noes. On the evening of July IS an explo-
sion shook the earth for distance of
twenty five miles around the mountain, and
a number of houses were demolished. The
earthquake shock was only slightly felt in
Honolulu. and comparatively little damage
was done in that city.
