EXPLOSIVE VOLCANO.
Scientists Believe Mont PeIes Nay Burst Forth
Again at Any Moment.

Fort de France, May PA torrential
downpour of rain in the morning washed
off the ashes from the vegetation on the
mountain. The United States ship Po-
tomac made her usual trip to st. Pierre
yesterday with another party of scien-
lists. She found the conditions there
unchanged. The top of the mountain
was clearly visible for considerable time.
Capt. Mclean, OF the cruiser Cincinnati,
who has carefully observed Mont Pelee,
agrees with other experts in reporting a
new crater has been formed below the
other one. In the new crater there is a
great cinder cone more than 100 feet high
from which steam and volcanic matter il
constantly pouring.
1t ia now the unanimous opinion of the
scientists that this is An explosive vol
cano, no real lava or rock material hav.
ing been emitted, only mud. steam, gas
and fragments of the old crater beds.
The scientists compare the mountain &
Outthrow to the steam of boiler in which
the pressure rises to a bursting point,
and they think it possible that a more
violent outbreak may accur. They re-
mark that the explosions have occurred
at progressively longer intervals and that
they also have been progressively more
violent. There have been three light
eruptions of ashes. On May there was
an overflow of mud, which caused the
destruction of the Usine Guerin; May 8
there was the outburst which destroyed
st. Pierre, and May 20, or after an in.
terval of twelve days, the last tremen-
dous outbursts occurred. A new period
of rest is now on, and one of two things
may happen. The pressure may lie con-
fined for still longer period, and then
explode with still greater violence,
spread destruction over vast area, or
the mountain may remain on the quies-
cent for another half century.
