counted seventy natives lying half bur.
led under stones and ashes from the
Volcano. and every one OF them was ly-
ing beside pack OF his household
goods. They had tried to escape from
the fury of the mountain when II first
broke.
"The country about these ruined
plantations was thickly settled. and In
some of the more densely populated
districts there were villages In which
thousands Of natives lived.
Robbers on Every Trail.
Most Of these villages are covered
with stones and ashes to a depth of
from Aye to seven feet. The frail
houses were unable to stand the ter.
rible downpour of the volcanic debris,
and the people beneath the roofs were
buried, after being stunned by the
awful hail of stones.
MANY refugees who were fleeing
! from the scene Of destruction have
been killed by the hands OF robbers
who now infest every trail. Men who
had reached the seaport said they had
passed numerous corpses on the roads
that had been the victims Of these
murderous bands. Those murdered
were fleeing from the ruined district
with what provisions and little money
they had saved from the deluge OF
ashes and stones. The food they car
ried is what particularly excited the
cupidity of the robbers.
The houses deserted at the first
outbreak of the volcano. and to which
the owners few days later returned
were found to have been looted Every
thing that was of value was carried
away. and in some cases articles that
could not be carried away were de
stroyed."

SENATOR MORGAN,
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama, though about 75 years old, Is one of the most active and suggestive, as well as one of the best equipped statesmen in this or any other country. No traditional age limit has frustrated him and the people of this state wisely keep him at Wash ington as long as he is willing to repre- sent them
 We are inclined to believe that his statement about the ultimate selection of the Nicaragua route for the Isth- milan canal will be adopted. The open ing of that waterway will not only i'm mensely benefit Galveston, Mobile Pen- sacola and New Orleans, but also Sa- vannah and Charleston. As the railways are already preparing for the great event, so should Savannah be upon the alert and not be caught mapping. Savannah has the railways, the terminal facilities, etc, but she is admirably located for great drydock and shipbullding plants. If we have not all of the necessary equip- ment, let us agitate. in time. to get all that is desirable and important The fed eral government may aid us and the great railway systems also. We must find out what we need and then work strenuously to obtain it.
