SANTA MARIA's ACTIVITY.
The Mountain Spouting Ashes,
Smoke and Pumice Stone.

The Mountain Spouting Ashes,
Smoke and Pumice Stone.
San Francisco, Nov. 26.-The volcano
Santa Maria was in violent eruption when
the Pacific Mail steamer City Of Panama
left there nine days ago. While the
steamer lay at Champerico the mountain
far away was spouting ashes. smoke and
pumice stone, the fakes falling in show
ers all over the country.
The city of Quesaltenango has been Wis
tied by ruin. Quesaltenango 10 located
at the base Of Santa Maria on the east
ern slope and no fears have heretofore
been entertained for the towns safety.
All the damage reported has been on the
western side, reaching from the noun
tains to the seashore. thirty miles away.
That the damage has extended across
the mountain is evidence OF the terrific
activity Of the volcano.
Refugees are making their way to the
seaside. travelling to ocas or Champerico
and from these ports proceeding south
by steamer.
From the officers of the City of Panama
1t was learned that some OF the planters
are of the opinion that the ashes may be
beneficial to the soil and that the dam
age to the ranches may be only tempo
rary.
Absolute ruin stares many ranchers in
the face and the livelihood Of thousands
of natives for many months to come has
been shut OF by the destructive work of
the volcano and work of rehablitating
the farms will probably be that of other
hands than the present owners, for so
great has been the damage that the ma
jority OF planters may never recover from
their losses.
NJ. e. Otis Of New York, a passenger
on the City of Panama. describes the APP
pearance of the land and sea in the
neighborhood Of the spouting mountain.
LAS far as the eye can reach from
Champerico," he said, there is nothing
to be seen but ashes and pumice stone.
We sailed for miles through a sea of
ashes. From the sea to Santa Maria the
country looked like a boiling caIdron.
At times the discharges would be carried
up a short distance into the air and then
1t would spread oat like an umbrella and
fall to the earth, covering trees. bushes
and hills with white shroud.
at other times the discharge would
seem to leap high into the air as II pro-
PEELED by a shock that could be felt all
the way to Champerico. Earthquakes
were frequent and the people felt that
their country rested on very uncertain
foundation.
THE people in Champerico seem unable
to form any estimate of the number of
lives lost, but they all agree that the
work of devastation as far as the coffee
plantations are concerned Is complete"

CHINA aLUTTED MARKET,
Turned uoose Flood Of Silver oa thu
World.

London, Nov. 26.-The continued ldecline
in the price Of silver causes some con-
siderable comment in financial circles.
According to the best informed houses
It 10 regarded as being directly due to
China's flooding the market with silver
with the payment of the Indemnity to
the powers. Prior to the recent disturb
ances China was a large buyer of silver
In London. but now the balance OF trade
Is reversed and instead Of China taking
silver in return for tea, silk and other
articles imported into the United King
dom, she has to ship silver In payment
of manufactured articles. This alone.
without the large indemnity disbursek
ments. Is considered sufficient to account
for the depreciation in the value Of the
metal.
1t IL pointed out that even If China
paid the indemnity in gold, the result
would be the same. as she would have
to send the same quantity of silver to
Europe in order to buy gold. The Chi
nese contention that China should pay
the indemnity at a higher rate Of ex-
