 With difficulty her husband quieted her for few moments, and then she burst out again;
 "How dare the wretch lay hand on white woman!" she began again; "why he would never leave this court alive if it were in Alabama"
 Tn the hallway of the building she be- came so hysterical with anger that her husband required the assistance of a policeman to pursuade her to leave the building.
 The assault upon her, she repeated had been unprovoked. Trout, in getting out of the car, which was crowded, had lurched against her, She said she had turned and cautioned him to be careful, whereupon, she said, he had struck her a violent blow in the face, making her nose bleed.

 Naples, April 1.-The whole of the Vesuvius district as far as Naples, Ca serta and Castellamara is one vast Sa- harlan desert. Reports tonight from all sides state that the fall of ashes is not so heavy as it has been for the last few days, and that the ashes are much finer, and from this it is argued that the prospects are much brighter. The blockade of local traffic continues, puI SSlflNS LII tllS lllalll llllcS pL letil- ways has been re-established, although greatly disarranged by the indescriba- ble confusion in the stations, where foreigners, not fully understanding the situation, inyeigh against the delays and discomforts to which they have been subjected.
 This has been disquieting day in Naples, The people, alarmed by what has happened, have deserted their shops and the manufactories are nearly ali closed. The crowds are in tmper for any excess. It would only require a spark to start a conflagration.
 The arrival of King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena has done much to restore calm. They have been received with great joy, which turned into de- llirium whenever the sovereigns left a hospital after visit to the wounded there. One poor woman exclaimed: T would consent to the wounded for the sake of being kissed by the queen" | Others cannot find words in which to express their gratitude that both the royal palaces of Cappodin and San Fer nando have been given up to refugees.
 Scientists express the opinion that the volcano has spent itself All the pa- pers tonight recommend that the pub lie be calm pointing out the improved condition of affairs. The papers also eulogize Director Natteucci for his courage in returning to the ruined ob- servatory on Mount Vesuvius and send ing thence messages of encouragement and expressions of confidence that Ve- suvius soon will cease its activity. All the theaters, cafes and places of amuse- ment have been closed Before the sa- cred images in the streets many can dles are kept burning, while smaller images are carried in the thoroughfares, often being set down in the open air and surrounded with candles.
