day announced his intention of return
ing to Naples from Rome, in order to
personally direct the relief work. The
news caused much satisfaction and
when their maiesties reached Naples
this evening, they received a most en-
thusiastic greeting. Later the king
and queen visited the sufferers in the
hospital n were enthusiastically
cheered as they passed through the
streets. Although the report that
Sarno has been destroyed is denied, it
is now officially admitted that Otta-
iano has been buried. The casualties

believed. would be a low estimate.
Even Capri, a small island off the
coast of Campania. nineteen miles
south of Naples, a favorite resort for
tourists and artists. has been covered
with ashes and has been abandoned by
it's foreign population. which included
several Americans.
The magnitude of the disaster is al
most indescribable. Mount Vesuvius
has spread desolation and terror over
an immense trace Of country.
Some idea of the difficulties encoun-
tered by authorities in obtaining &C
curate knowledge of the situation, may
be gained from the fact hat Minister
of Finance Salandra and Under Secre-
tary of State Denava were blockaded at
Tore Annunziata by ash-caps and
were compelled to go to Castellammare
in an automobile. reaching that place
with great difficulty. They hoped to
get a boat at Castellammare to take
them from there to this city, but even
the fishermen refused to run the risk
of crossing the Bay of Naples as they
would la had to pass Mount Vesu-
vius. which. is situated about half way
between Castellmmare and Naples. The
train which brought Premier SOnnino
here today from Rome was considera-
bly, delayed by ashes.

SOME PHONETIC SNAGS.
Oyster Bay Called Upon to Solre
Nezo Spelling Problems.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington. Sept 19-The Presidents pho
netic spelling order has struck several snags in
Washington in the last few days, and it has
finally become necessary to refer the problems to
Oyster Bay for final decision.
The trouble first broke out in the Treasury
Department Robert J. Tracewell, who fills the
office designated by Congress as Comptroller OF
the Treasury" recently ordered some stationery
from the Public Printer and when it was de-
livered. he found that the Public Printer had
used the phonetic spelling and described him as
Controller
Mr.. Tracewel Immediately became angry and
called on Acting Secretary Keep. He protested
that there was no such officer as Controller Of
the Treasury the Office having been created by
Congress and by it designated as Comptroller -
Secretary Keep told the irate Controller that
he guessed the Presid .nt's order would have TO
stand. but Mr. Tracewer said that there was no
authority under the law to pay a salary 20 a
controller" and as Mr.. Traceweli is the high
est authority on salaries Mr.. Keep finally de-
cided 10 appeal the case to oyster Bay.
Just about this time the Secretary OF the
Navy was having trouble with the phonetic
scheme The Public Printer had returned TO the
Bureau of Navigation certain printed orders. in
which appeared the titles past assistant SUR
geon." past assistant paymaster' etc
The Bureau OF Navigation declared that past
meant retired. and that the men so designated
were far from being retired. On the contrary
they were passed" meaning that they had
passed that grade. Moreover. the titles had
been created by act of Congress. and no one but
Congress had authority to change them. espe-
eially when such change completely altered the
meaning
Secretary BOnaparte received the excited dele
CATION from the Bureau OF Navigation and after
arguing the subject for time and consult
ing the statutes he agreed 10 refer the matter 10
oyster Bay.
4 little later in the day the Secretary M The
Navy was waited on by a delegation from tha
t5vdroqraphic once. The delegation protested
VIGOROUSLY against the action Of the Public
printer IN printing the maps prepared by the
oerca according 10 the phonetic rules The rem
rsentatives Of the office said that the mans v,er.
,,rir,e, fo- distribution throughout the ent,ro
