ERUPTION OF MOUNT AZUMA.
Terribly Fatal Results of .Japanese
Nnlcann's Sudden Activity.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 30.-Particulars
of the eruption of Mt. Azuma, in Japan,
on July II have been received in oriental
papers. So far known 25G persons were
killed and many hundreds We're injured.
An English agent of the japanese govern
ment, who was among the natives in the
vicinity of Mt. Azuma during the eruption,
says:
Early on the morning of July IL loud
detonations. if heavy guns were being
fired. were heard. They gradually decreas-
ed and finally ceased altogether. But about
6 O'Clock the internal disturbances came to
a climax and tongues of fire spouted from
the crater. We all stampeded toward the
valley, not. however, before one of the
great powders had crashed through the
place and killed twenty people. The ashes
and small rocks were falling like hail and
II became difficult to breathe
81 reached the village of Hiyukulco after
scrambling through trees for two or three
hours Everything seemed to be drying up
from the intense heat. The ashes were hot
and covered the ground for half an inch
One family of ten who were too frightened
to do anything further than pray, got hem
med in by the lava and were burned in the
flood. Several Of the men and children from
the village played out along the road and
most of these were burned to death"

MET ALL REQUIREMENTS.
Russian Board of Inspection Satisfied
With Cruiser yariaE.

PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-The Russian
cruiser Variag returned to Cramps ship
yard today from her trial trip During
the run back from Boston the ship was
speeded. with the view Of fulfilling the
contract requirement of % knots an hour
for twelve hours. The trial began off
Nantucket shoals, and a continuous speed
of 236 to .2}.7 knots was developed for
seven and one-half hours, when an acci-
dent TO one of the high-pressure cylinders
compelled the shutting off Of the engine
affected and the abandonment of the re-
manning four and half hours of the trial
In a statement given out at the office of
the builders, ii is said that the speed al
ready developed. both on the run off Boone
Island last week, when the Varag made
2i.6 knots in a squirt, and in the first seven
and a half hours of the principal speed
trial at sea. has so far exceeded the CON-
tract requirements that the Russian board
of inspection unanimously agreed that the
essential conditions of the trial had been
complied with and that there could be no
reasonable doubt of the ability of the ves-
sci to maintain speed considerably in ex-
cess of the contract requirements of q
knots an hour.

boulevards this morning was eagerly scan
ming the insufficient news.
When he was notified of the death of
King Humbert, President Loubet sent a
military officer of his household TO express
his coincidence to the Italian ambassador
Count Tornielli-Brusau di Nergano. Later
in the afternoon the ambassador visited the
palace of the Elysee and officially an
nounced the death of his sovereign. Presi-
dent Loubet sent to the new King of Italy
the following:
Il place before your majesty the express
sion of the unanimous Indignation of my
country against the odious attempt which
has taken from Italy its generous chief.
Deg your majesty to accept this expression
or my deepest sympathy. and place at the
1eet OF her majesty, Queen Marguerite, my
respectful homage and my sincere con-
dolences."
All official fetes have been abandoned
until after the obsequies. The flags on all

could be carried so far as to give China
the whip hand in arranging terms of peace.
The sentiment among many of those who
know the ways of the Chinese best is that
no account should be taken of any threat
to injure the ministers unless it should
call forth from the allied powers a counter
threat of added vengeance on the imperial
family itself and on Pekin should the min
listers be harmed as a means of retaliation.
By such action, they say. the Chinese would
be given to understand that treachery in
relation to the ministers could do them
selves only harm in any event, and 1t is
believed that for their own protection they
would seek to take care of the ministers.

and in Europe have some news from
Pekin that there is no possible reason to
question. This news bears out what 1
have maintained ever since the receipt of
the Conger dispatch. The ministers are
alive and they have been aided by my gov
ernment, otherwise they could never have
held out all this time.
Regards 1t is Conclusive.
''When these first horrible reports of
massacres came from Shanghai, naturally
| was alarmed and distressed. ! did my
duty as a loyal citizen of the empire and
tried to aid this government in getting
news of its minister. When the Conger
dispatch came I felt ii was genuine. 1t
was accepted by this government and
was satisfied But ever since then there
have been contradictory reports. The rest
of the world was not willing to believe any
truth could come out of China. When
imperial edicts were issued pledgins the
faith of my government that the ministers
We're safe there was always some bad news
manufactured some excuses made, to Off
set the Chinese reports. The Chinese were
made o;.t to be a set of liars and murder
ers as though there were not liars and muir
dercrs in all countries. Now comes this
news from European sources and transmit
ted through American hands. There is now
no chance for the uubelevers to doubt 1t. L
am glad of il on my own account but more
so for Secretary Hay, who has thus won
a great victory against the skepticism of

Their Spies Not Heard From.
The fact mas been developed that one of
the last acts of the late Col. Liscum before
his death a Tien Tsin was to undertake
the dispatch of a spy to Pekin. Gen. Dor
ward, the British commanding officer at
Tien Tsin, also sent out two messengers.
and 1t is believed that the japanese did the
same. Up T. date not one of these mes
sengers has returned to Tien Tsin. nor has
there been a single word heard from any
Of them. This fact. however, has not
caused the abandonment of hope, and this
is true in particular of the message ex-
pected from Mr. Conger Minister Wu is
perhaps the basis for this hope our part,
and he maintains an unshaken confidence
