London. May 3O.-The Honorable Michael
Henry Herbert, who is nominally secretary
to the British Embassy at Paris. will prob
ably be the next British Ambassador to the
United States, in succession to the late Lord
Pauncefote.
Mr.. Herbert's appointment will prob2bly
not be announced until the remain of Lord
SPauncefote arrive in England. The only
suestion in regard to Mr.. Herbert's selection
hs the approval of King Edward. The As
!sociated Press understands that his Males
~ is taking a keen personal interest in the
matter o; Lord Pauncefote's successor. but
he viii not be asked officially 10 confirm or
disapprove the candidate of the foreign Of
ice until the period of time during which
the Government pays respect to the late
Lord Pauncefote has elapsed.
Backed by British and Americana.
Nhiie there is no reason to believe that
King Edward will object TO Mr.. Herbert,
who has the official backing Of both English
and American diplomats, there must al
ways remain an element of doubt In the
matter until the suggested appointment re-
ceives the royal sanction, especially in
view Of the acute attention which his Maj
esty has given to this important promotion.
Thu matter OF Mr.. ferberts going to
Washington has been still further compli-
Acated by the unexpected delay in sending
over Lord Pauncefote's remains. The Brit
ish Government officially fully expected
Lord Pauncefote's body would arrive in
England prior to the coronation of King Ed
ward, and 1t is not a little disconnected by
the receipt OF dispatches announcing that
the obsequies in England will not occur un-
II July.

The determination to select Mr.. Herbert

reached after many consultations with
those who are best fitted to voice an opinion
IN the matter. While rorninally secretary

a curious feature connected with all the

Before the new Ambassador at Washing.

to the position will probably be put upon a

HERBERT WELL LIKED HERE
Selection as England's Representa-
tive Satisfactory at Washington.

Washington, May 20-While no official
information can be had tonight as to
whether this Government has been sounded
as to Mr.. Herbert's acceptability as Am
bassador. it is believed by people familiar
with his standing here while Secretary of
the Legation and Charge d'Affaires that his
selection would be entirely agreeable to the
United States.
He filled his post here with tact and
ability. and has a courteous and agreeable
personality. He had charge of the legation
for considerable intervals in the absence of
the head of the legation, and considerable
regret was expressed when II was learned
he had been promoted and ordered abroad.

THREE PHASES IN


\ volcanic eruption may usually be divid-
ed into three w~ell-marked phases. First.
there is a period which may cover several
weeks. or even months. characterized by
earthquakes of more or less violence, with
subterranean rumbling and the escape of
some vapor, possibly accompanied by the
opening of assures and the extrusion Of
small amounts Of lava. This is the period
IN which the expansive force of the confined
steam and the strength of the everything
rocks are very evenly balanced.
In many cases no eruption follows. the
steam being made to lift the everything
strata before its force is gradually dis
sipdted. If, however. the force of the ex-
banding steam continues to increase. the
limit OF strength of its barriers is reached
and a sudden explosion takes place. TIE
solid surface rocks are shattered into frag-
ments and the intensely heated rocks, at
great depths, are carried upward by the
expansion Of the enclosed water. This Is
the second phase of the eruption and
usually marks its eliminating point in yio-
lence. 1t is much the shortest of the three.
generally lasting at most only a few hours.
but it is in this brief period of extreme
violence that most Of the destruction IS

Washington, May 3o.-It is a matter Of
vast moment to the people Of Martinique
to know what the volcano of Pelee holds
in reserve for them. Is the eruption which
obliteIated ST. Pierre only the beginning OF
a series which are TO eclipse it In violence,
or has it done its worst?
Prediction. especially at this distance.
where actual conditions are as yet very
iinPerfectly known. would be extremely
rash. y consideration of other great erup-
tions, however, shows that so far as known
all nave q general similarity. Being the
product of the same forces. they have the
same character istics, except as they are
modified by local conditions.
The generally accepted explanation of
volcanic phenomena Is that water gains ac-
cess to the heated interior Of the earth. and.
being there converted into steam. seeks to
escape through the rigid rocks Of the outer
crust. The force of the expanding steam
slowly ~accUmulates. and when 1t reaches a
point beyond the strength of the combining
strata an explosion takes place. This affords
relief. and the confined steam escapes with
gradually decreasing violence. This theory
is M strict accordance with all eruptions
which have bsen carefully observed and re-
corded
