By this time the telescope man had
arranged his instrument and squinted
through 1t I'D at the heavens. The
freshmen looked likewise in wonder.
Just then, by an odd chance. large

"Bedad. he hit it! He's fetched it

FLED IN TERROR.
Mexican Natives Yield to Their su.

Mexican Natives Yield to Their Su-
perstitious Belief.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Details Of the
eruption of the Colima volcano, on the
Pacific coast Of Mexico, recently reported
by telegraph from Guadalajara, Mex,
have been received by w. ]. Arkell, of
this city. An immense river of lava ran
over the side of the volcano and threat
ened to overwhelm three Indian villages
near its base. The Indians fed from the
Santa Ana mine, in the center of Colima' S
copper region, and sought safety by hid
ing in the mine, leaving their women and
children to shift for themselves. A COM
pahy of Mexican troops drove the In
dams from the mine and sent them back
to their homes to protect their families.
The government of Mexico, from whom
Mr. Arkell, Mr. Netherton Hall, of Chi
cago, and Paul w. Herbach, of Omaha,
obtained a concession of 600 acres in
Colima valley, offered to cancel the con-
cession if the mines were injured by the
VOLCANOES eruption, but the offer was de-
clined.
One of the most serious results of the
volcanic disturbance is the entire cessa-
ton of work on a tramway now being
built to connect the copper mines with the
port of Manzanillo. The contractors were
unable to restrain the terrified Indians
employed in the construction of the road.
Many of them have gone to Michaoacan
and Jalisco, and others have fled to the
more distant southern states of the re-
public One of the reasons for the fright
of the Mexican natives is that for many
years belief has prevailed that the close
of this century would be marked by de-
vastating foods and earthquakes.
