THE PRESENT ERUPTION.
In Many Ways It is One of the Most
 Terrific on Record.

In Many Ways It is One Of the Most
 e.. Terrible on Record.
 The present eruption, though one of the most terrible on record has not quite reached the pitch of horror which the younger Pliny describes as accom- pyfng the earlier phenomenon, through many of the incidents related by him of that earlier catastrophe been re- peated, The same enormous cloud, which Pliny likens to the appearance of gigantic pine tree, "shot up to a great height" and 'spread Itself out at the top in a sort of branches" Again it shrouded the whole vast gulf, and again the region round the mountain was covered with a "fall of conders and pumice stones and black pieces of burning broad flames shone out from various places on the mountain. The terrible earthquake and uproarious seas retiring from the shore were lack ing in this last convulsion; but the darkness, "not like a night when the sky is cloudy and there is no moon, but that room when 1t is shut up and all the lights are put out, was observed at various points about the bay, as it was by Pliny that fatal night near his villa at Misenum. Lately at Capri twenty miles away, this phenomenon was noticed for an hour or two. It oc- casioned great alarm among some of the foreign visitors and on the steamers making for the port of Naples | many of which were obliged to put back. For a day the port was inacessi. ble, owing to the showers of cinders darkening the air,
 Tn half an hour the streets of Naples were filled to the depth of from five tt six inches with a soft, powdered mater. ial resembling ashes, and this has oc. cured more than once. The inhabi tants did not seem to be seriously alarmed, expect the inmates of thu prisons, who rebelled and had to bt controlled by troops. The streets, how ever, have been filled by process sions carrying effigies of their patror saint, and fully thirty thousand per people entered the cathedral and tool forcible possession of their patron saint, and fuully thirty thousand per sons escorted this sacred bust of St Janurius from the cathedral to the con- fines of the city nearest the mountain

The estimate placed upon the DAM

sent out from Washington regarding
the damage will be read with interest
here:
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte
has received a Geographic report up
on the condition in the Pensacola
Navy Yard from Chief Constructor OF
the Navy Caps. He states that the
converted yacht Vixen was badly
damaged and that the Machias ana
Wauban are sunk at their docks, the
Machias being seriously damaged oy

they have resorted to this to save the
barge, and that she has not been

The Administer also reported upon
her arrival that she found the Amerj-
can schooner Glenafton about 210
miles off Mobile floating about aim
lessly. She had been damaged by the
storm and the compass either lost or
damaged and the master did not have
his bearings. In addition the captain
was in his cabin, having been injured
in some manner. The steamer fur

The schooner is bound from Mobile

they can make port.

Washington, Oct. 4.-SecretarY
Root made public to-day the cor
respondence leading up to interviews
ton in Cuba The correspondence
took place between Consul General
Steinhardt, at Havana, and Acting
Secretary of State Bacon.
The important feature developed In
the dispatches was that intervention
was asked for by the Cuban govern
ment as early at Sept. 8 and as long
ago as Sept IA. President Palma and
the vice-president and cabinet officers
had determined to sign.
1t is also shown that intervention
by the United States, has long been
planned by the Palma government.
Bacon's dispatches showed that inter-
vention by the United States was only
undertaken under great reluctance
and that Palma was informed through
Steinhardt that Intervention would
not be undertaken until the Cuban
government had exhausted every
means to put down the instruction
and make that fact evident to the
world.

DISARMAMENT OF cuBANS
PROGRESSING RAPIDLY

Havana, Oct 4.-"The disarmament
of Cuban insurgents is progressing as
rapidly as can be reasonably expect
ed" said Governor Taft to-day.
"The militia and volunteers are
being rapidly mustered out, the only
delay being due to inability of the
American authorities to obtain cor.
rect lists of enrollments."
The only exceptions to the general
harmony reported is the desertion OF
some volunteers at Palmas Oriano,
outside of Santiago, where half a
dozen men and horses disappeared. 1t
is supposed that the deseiters joined
the dissatisfied element around Sem
tiago.
Considerable difficulty Is being ex-
perienced in disarming the militia In
Santa Clara city. Yesterday and
last night the remaining mi'itiamert
fired many shots for the purpose Of
creating a disturbance.

on the Subject.

Phoenix, AriZ., Oct. 4.-Governor
X tbey has received the following
letter from President Roosevelt:
MY Dear Governor Kibbey: ! am
sorry to say that grave charges have
been made to me that under the or
ganization of which you are the ac-
tive leader there will not be fair
count of the votes on the question OF
statehood If these charges were
well founded, need not say to you
that 1t would be a national disaster.
| have no doubt there is no truth N
them, but some prominent people in
the United States do believe them,
and they are joined in the belief by
some of the most prominent people
of Arizona and New Mexico. There.
fore, to avoid all criticism, | direct
that if you can in any way arrange
1t. you will have representatives Of
the statehood people present at the
canvassing of the votes on statehood.
l have sent copy Of this letter to
Governor Hagerman of New Mexico,
and directed him to make the same
arrangement; that is, have represen-
tatives from both the statehood and
anti-statehood parties present to wit
ness the count Of the votes"
Governor Kibbey Immediately sent
a copy of this letter to Thomas E.
Wilson, of Tucson, president Of the
Joint statehood league, and wrote
him that inasmuch as no statehood
party has filed the name OF candi'
date with the territorial secretary, he
asks Mr.. Wilson to furnish the names
of statehood advocates TO serve on
election day and witness the count

UNITED STATES
COURT IN
NOV.
While Not Definitely Set
tied, Probable Term Will
Convene Then.

1t is probable that the fall term of
the United States court will be held
during the early portion of November,
converting about the first Monday of
the second week of that month. This
is not definitely settled however, and
it depends upon the continued good
health of Judge Charles Ewayne
Judge of the Northern district OF
Florida.
A letter was received yesterday by
Clerk F. w. Marsh from the Judge
who had been i'll for some time, stat.
ing that he is now enjoying good
health, and it is therefore anticipated
that the regular term of the court will
be held next month.

The chief find as one of the life

about 800 feet from the water. The
boat is in a fairly good condition and
with few slight repairs can be easily
launched.
Near the life boat was some of the

About a mile west of Fort McRae,
the sea has made a cut through the

that this channel may be cut deeper
