FACES DIsroRTED By FEAR.
Terror Depicted in Features of the
Dead at 0ttaianO.


NAPLES, April 10.-The scenes at OF
tajano when the first victims were un-
earthed there were terrible. The posi-
tions of the bodies showed that the vic
tins had died while in a state of great
terror, the faces being conyulsed with
fear. Three bodies were found In con-
fessional of one of the fallen churches.
One was that of an old woman, who was
sitting with her right arm raised, as
though to ward off the advancing danger.
The second was that of a child about
eight years old. 1t was found in a posi-
ton which would indicate that the child
had fallen with a little dog close TO 1T, and
had died with one arm raised across its
face to protect itself and its pet from the
crumbling ruins. The third body, that of
a woman. was reduced to an unrecogniza-
Bile mass These three victims were rev.
erently laid side by side, while a process
sion of friends and relatives offered up
prayers beside them.
Other bodies which were found later
caused such an impression among the al
ready frantic population that the author.
tiles did not deem it advisable to permit
any more bodies to be identified for the
present. Forty-nine bodies have already
been taken out of one of the churches at
Ottajano.
Many tales are told of heroic rescues on
the part of soldiers sent to the assistance
of the sufferers from the volcano disaster
at Ottajano and elsewhere. One man rode
his horse through ashes reaching up to
its f1anks at Ottajano, calling out. who
wants help?" He was rewarded by hear
ing a woman's voice reply in weak tones,
and. springing from his horse, the soldier
called a comrade to his assistance and
fioundered among the ashes until he ar
rived at the ruined walls of a house from
which the voice seemed to come. AS he
made his way toward the building the SOL
dier shouted words of encouragement and,
climbing over a heap of ruins and brav-
ing a topplng wall he entered the build
ing and in the cellar found the bodies of

NAPLES, April 10-When morning broke
today the outlook was promising for an
amelioration of the conditions consequent
upon the activity of Mount Vesuvius The
hopefulness Of the populace, however, was
short-lived and the Neapolitans were
plunged into a condition bordering on a
frenzy by the collapse Of the Monte Oil

twelve were killed. two mortally injured,
twenty-four dangerously and 100 serious

victims clamoring to be allowed to go to

tervention of the police and carbineers
was it possible to keep back the crowd
from overwhelming those who were en-
gagged in the work of rescue
While early in the day the volcanic ac-
tivity of Mount Nesuvius appeared TO
have diminished, as night approached the
prospect of immediate relief faded away,
and the fate of the villages and towns
grouped around the volcano seemed more
hopeless. Instead of decreasing, the fall
of sand and ashes emitted from the crater
increased. Even with the sun shining high
in the heavens the light was a dim yell
low. The few people who remained in the
stricken towns, their clothing, hair and
boards covered with ashes, moved about

HOMELESS HAUNT THE RUINS.

The case of Tore del Greco is typical.
For thirty hours the place has been prac-
tically deserted, but amid the ruins and a
semi-darkness, illuminated from time to
time by vivid flashes Of lightning. a few
of the inhabitants go about, hungry and
with throats parched with smoke and
dust, seemingly unable to tear themselves
away from the ruins of what so recently
were their homes.
Communication by rail or tramway with
Tore del Greco and Tore Annunziata is
impossible owing to the cinder, sand and
ash deposits. Railway travel to and from
Naples is much hampered by the same
conditions, and a collision today resulted
in the injury of about twelve passengers.
Telegrap phic communication with the towns
farthest in the danger zone also is inter-
rupted.
The flow of lava from the volcano
which had almost ceased during the night
recommended again early today, and the
fall of volcanic ejecta in the Vesuvian
communes has been enormous. 1t is feared
that the weight of the ashes on the roofs
will cause the collapse of many more
buildings. both here and in the towns and
villages nearer the volcano.
Director Matteucci, who continues at his
post in the observatory, telegraphed to-
night that the volcano was generally calm
last night, with occasional Sharp eXplo-
sions, these becoming more violent to-
ward morning. Director Matteucci says
his seismic instrument indicates great
subterranean agitation.
