MOUNTAIN BUILT UP
BY VOLCANIC ERUPTION
HEIGHT OF MATAUTU INCREASED
5000 FEET
Stream of Lava Twelve Miles Wide
Is Now Flowing Into the Ocean.
Region Has Been Deserted by the
Natives
By Assnclnted Prass.

BY Associated Press.
HONOLULU, Dec. t9.-The steamer
Ventura, arriving from Australia to-
day, brought report that the erup-
ton of the mountain Matautu, on the
island of Savaii, in the Samoan group
has increased to such force that the
mountain has been piled up 5000 feet
The lava has covered thirty square
miles and a stream of lava twelve
miles wide is flowing into the ocean
The lava is being thrown 1900 feet high.
The natives have deserted the re-
gion.
According to advices received in Sep
tember the little mountain of MatautN
broke into eruption August q last
The shock of the initial eruption was
felt for thirty miles and shattered
buildings of the London Missionary
society ten miles away. Visitors on the
island at the time said that lava and
huge boulders were hurled a great
height and resulted in an immense
shower that at d distance OF ten miles
appeared like fall of stars on a
gigantic scale. The whole sky was
lighted by the display
The lava flow in August was half a
mile wide and creeping toward the
sea coast at the rate of a mile "a day.
1t was then predicted that all the rich
soil and beautiful beach that inter-
vened between the volcano and the sea
would be converted into an ironbound
coast.
The island of Savaii is ninety miles
from the American island of Tutuila
and has a length of 100 miles and a
breadth of about Is miles. Coacoanut
plantations cover the greater part of
the island.

was bound not to accept terms of
peace until Great Britain should rec
ognize the independence of the
United States.
When the French fleet finally
came to the help of the patriots, the
result of it's coming must, at first,
have been disappointing. We read
of no victories gained, but rather of
failures, for various reasons, to rem
der the expected aid.
But in the closing scene of the
great war drama, the fleet rendered a
noble and conspicuous part.
After the battle of Guilford Court
House, CORVALLIS retreated to Vir-
ginia. Being reinforced there, he
had a little campaign against La
fayette. At the end of July, Corn
walls was at Yorktown with 1000
men. Up to this time, the British
had always been safe at the waters

sea. Now all this was to be changed
by the arrival of a great French
fleet, commanded by Count de
Grasse. In August, Washington
learned that he could have the aid
of this fleet on the Virginia coast,
and at once he moved with 5000 men
$4,000 of them Frenchmen under
Count Rochambeau) from the Hud-
son to the Chesapeake Bay. 1t was a
swift and skillful movement. Gin
ton did not suspect it's purpose till
Washington was beyond Philadel-
phia. Washington made straight for
his mark, and by the last of Deem
Der, had 10000 men in front of Corn
wallis at Yorktown, while the great
French fleet closed in behind and
prevented escape. On the 10Th of
October, the British army surren-
dered.
Having discussed, in this brief
manner, the aid given by the French
government, I shall consider more
in detail the service of the romantic
young volunteer, LAFAYETTE.

I see a great deal said about the
boil weevil of Texas, and plans to
remove him, but never have seen any
suggestion by any one to ask the
Lord to remove him-Who sent him
of course. The Bible says that
prayer will remove mountains, and
the prayer of the righteous availeth

from France, and Lafayette as a
volunteer who did not wait for his
government to act. Lafayette fitted
up a ship at his own expense and,
coming to America, offered his SER
vices to Congress as a volunteer
without pay. Other European Off
GERS who gave valuable help to the
American cause were, besides the
German Kalb, the Poles Kosciuszko
and Pulaski.
In the disastrous defeat of our
army at Camden, Kalb, who COM
manded the Delaware men, met his
death. After his horse had been
shot under him, he continued to
fight on foot. At last, hoping to
stem the tide of defeat, he led a
charge, took fifty prisoners and re-
fused to believe ne was defeated till
CORVALLIS himself overwhelmed
him with numbers. Even then he
did not yield until he was disabled by
many wounds. After three days of
suffering the brave fighter died.
"Opulent, and happy in his wife and
children, he gave to the United
States his life and his example. Con-
gress decreed him a monument"
Kosciuszko was elected for the north
ern service.
Baron Steuben, a Prussian who
had come over to help us, thorough
ly drilled Washington's army during
that terrible winter at Valley Forge.
Casimir Pulaski, who came over
after Lafayette, had lost his father
and brothers in the Polish war. For
attempting to carry off the king of
Poland, he suffered the confiscation
of his property, and he was sentenced
to outlawry and death. A poverty
stricken exile, he was living in Mar
settles in southern France, when he
was recommended to Franklin, who
paid his passage to the United States
and wrote Congress a note recount
ing his services to Poland.
The help from the French govern
ment, however, mentioned in the pre-
ceding article, did not come quickly.
"The king would break out into a
passion whenever he heard of help
furnished to the Americans" says
Mr.. Bancroft. Franklin had been
using all his influence in favor of a
treaty, but, probably, he would have
been put off still longer, if news had
not come of Burgoyne's surrender
at Saratoga. After this disastrous
defeat of the British, there was in
England a general cry for peace"
Some of the English statesmen fav-
ored a recognition of the independ-
ence of the colonies; even the king
declared, "The time may come when
it will be wise to abandon all North
America but Canada, Nova Scotia,
and the F1oridas. The French gov
eminent could not withstand the en-
thusiasm aroused by this American
victory. and after a delay of about
three months more, the treaty was

hospital for the amputation of his
hand, had come out from under the
influence of the anesthetic given all

he was steadily improving each day

sleep little after the results of the
shock. The doctor and nurses give
hopeful encouragement of an early

has arrived at his bedside to render

can, which will also be greatly in
his favor in the hours of his weak

HARDING IN RACE
FOR GOVERNoRSHlP
Tacit Endorsement BY Senator Fora
ker Means Fight In Ohio
Against Herrick.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. .
The anti-Herrick fight in Ohio has de-
veloped on announcement in Ohio of
the candidacy of Lieutenant Governor
w. G. Harding for the governorship
and the tacit Endorsement of his can
didacy by Senator Foraker
The Senator was shown dispatch
from Ohio. saying: Lieutenant
Governor Harding practically puts
himself in the race for the governor
ship. He says the date of the formal
announcement is up to Foraker"
After reading the dispatch Senator
Foraker said: 81 cannot speak as to
any part of the telegram except the
last statement. l cannot imagine that
Senator Harding has said anything
of the kind l know of no reason why
he should make such a remark. but
so far as the announcement is con-
cerncd. if what is said in the tele-
gram is true that would seem to be
pretty effectually made already.
IF it be true that Senator Harding
has practically announced himself as
candidate am not at all surprised
for | know there is great deal OF
sentiment throughout the State in IA
vor of such candidacy. but whether
or not he will become a candidate is
for him to determine. He is a most
excellent man and will make a strong
candidate for The nomination, and if
nominated he would make very
strong candidate before the people,"
Representative Warnock, of Ur-
bana, whom the anti-Herrick people
have been trying to get into mood
TO say that he would like the nomina-
ton, said: Il am not and will not be
"a candidate. This is final"
