Sheltered by Fallen Walls

Naples, April lG Two aged women imprisoned under ashes were found alive by soldiers who were cxcavating in the ruins of Ottajano. The women had been entombed for six days. They were in a small space between fallen walls which sheltered them from the hot ashes and stones falling from the volcano.
 Vesuvius is now absolutely calm and the smoke ha, cleared away leaving ghastly spectacle of desolation above ruined cities and once fertile fields.
 Prof NIatteutci, the scientific obServ- CT in charge of the observatory on Mount Vesuvius and who was confined . in it and cut off from the world during the whole period cf the recent erup- tion, has come to the city and given an account of his experiences. He says the eruption was literal hell.
 From the observers position he could see enormous walls of flame rising ia" above the mouth Of the crater which emitted a river of lava ! of immense volume. Other streams of great size flowed from various Assures in the sides, new ones breaking out constantly until it seemed as if the whole volcano was melting. He saw huge blocks of stone hurled 25OO feet in the air and the smoke and gas made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
 Prof. Nlatteutci is of the opinion that the volcano will now be quiet for many years.
 The press dispatches a few days ago stated that the observatory had fallen into the crater of the volcano. This appears to have been a mistake or else the observer was in a separate build ing.

 All Water 1aius Broken
 San Francisco. April lS-9 a. m.. All the district south of Market is burning. The water mains are broken and the fire department is powerless. Already 1000 dead bodies are piled in me street, and tenement houses throughout the doomed district are soIIapsing. Several big department stores and other large buildings are being razed to the ground in the hope sT checking the flames. The Palace hotel is now blazing but the St. Francis is still safe
 The main fsSure left by the earth quake opens twenty feet wide along Market street three blocks in length and an immense mass of debris is piled along the gap while all is in ruins for several blocks on each side Firemen are wrecking buildings in all direc- tions to try to stop the progress of the flames which are sweeping over wide areas with tremendous impetus.
 All water supply is cut off by the vrecking of the main, but thousands of men are working desperately to repair the mains sufficiently to let water through them. Appeals were sent early Co other California cities for aid and special trains are running at utmost speed carrying the fire depart, nent, from all ncighboring cities.
 No Safety In Streets
 Houses are ablaze in all parts of the city and there is no safety in the streets because of falling walls which often hurl their fragments to the other side. Both telegraph offices were wrecked and messages to the out side are filed in a temporary office set up in the street and connected with the solitary wire which leads out of the city.
 PandemUnium reigns and unless the flames are stopped soon the whole bus mess district of the city will go up in smoke. Twenty blocks south of Mar ket street are already in ashes.
 AtI0:3O the Palace hotel is doomed and near the point of collapse. The St. Francis is in danger as the fire is steadily working that way.
