Night, but Is substding.
 NAPLES, April 16.-The somewhat threatening condition of Mount Vesu- vius Saturday night having subsided with the election of enormous clouds of sand and ashes, these clements have begun to settle slowly, again envelop- ing the mountain in thick haze and cutting off the view from Naples, only the outline of the base being visible.
 Professor Matteucci, director of the Royal observatory on the mountain, issued the following bulletin:
 My instruments are now most calm. The emission of sand continues in less abundant quantities, and wait seri- ously satisfactory termination of the eruption"
 The sudden renewal of alarm Satur- day night has given way to the cele- bration of Easter with unusual fervor.
 The gravity of the situation has now shifted to Ottajano and San Giuseppe, where the recovery of the dead from the debris goes on amid the misery of thousands of homeless refugees. A sensational development occurred dur ing the work of salvage at Ottajano when the searchers unearthed two aged women still alive, but speechless, after their six days entembment. They were among the hundreds who were crushed beneath the falling walls dur ing the rain of stones and ashes last Sunday and Monday.
 Hope had been abandoned of finding any of these persons alive. The wo- men were protected by the rafters of the house which they were in and had managed to exist on few morsels of food which they had in their pockets. Nine dead bodies were afterward talk en out, and it Is estimated that hun dred more remain under the ruins.

You must do part for yourself. 1 used to take a Turkish bath in the middle of the day and spend the rest of the day in bed eat ing chocolates.

WARSHIP DISASTER
Terrible Explosion on Rear !, sargasQf Qfa Manzanillo Bay.
SEVEN DEAD; FOURTEEN BADLY HURT
Powder Igniting In Forward Turret Carried Death and Wounds to Of- ncers and Gun Crew-Bat-
 tleship Intact.

WASHINGTON, April 16. Grief and consternation were brought to the navy department by the receipt of q cablegram from Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet. saying that an explosion had occurred on the battleship Kearsarge. by which seven men were killed and fourteen critically injured.
 The dead are: Lieutenant John NJ. Hudgins. turret officer; Lieutenant Jo- seph W. Graeme, gun umpire; Ellis H. Athey, seaman; Julius A. Rooster. tur- ret captain; Peter Narberg, gunner's mate: Theodore Naegely, seaman; An ton o. Thorson, seaman.
 The accident occurred of Manzanillo bay. where the battleshlps of the north Atlantic fleet have been at target prac- tice. The official account says:
 Shortly after the completion of tar get practice on the Kearsarge the for ward turret while the powder was go- ing below three sections of a thirteen inch charge of powder were ignited. Charge of powder in other lift just be- low and one section inside thirteen inch remained intact. Cause not yet determined nor accountability. Mat ter is being investigated. Will bury dead at Guantanamo. Vessel unin- jured."
 It Is said that when the powder in- closed in the ordinary sacks was being lowered by lift in the gun turret a shell or some other hard and heavy ob- ject struck it and caused ignition.
 The full charge of powder for thir- teen inch gun is too large to he han dled by one man, so it Is divided into sections in canvas bags. and it was three of these. probably just enough to fill one compartment in the ammuni- ton hoist. which Ignifed.
 The Atlantic feet. the strongest fighting fleet America has ever owned. had been for weeks engaged in the most severe drills in the waters of the Caribbean sea. eliminating In the quarterly target practice.
 Lieutenant John M. Hudgins. the tur- ret officer who lost his life by the ex- plosion. was a native of Virginia and was appointed to the Naval academy from that state on Sept. s. 1890.
 Lieutenant Greene was appointed to the Naval academy from Pennsylvania on Sept. 6. 1893. He served at the Washington naty yard from Nov. 10. 1so2. until April 11. 1eos. when he vas assigned to the cruiser Maryland He is . son of Thomas Greene of Wilkes barre. Pa He fs married.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, April 18- State militia. re-enforced by 200 dep uty sheriffs. guarded the streets of Springfield last night against possible renewed action by a mob that has lynched three negroes in the public square. There are hundreds of stran- gers. in Springfield, and the antinegro feeling still runs high.
 Of fourteen prisoners. whites and ne groes. who escaped from the prison during the mob excitement four were captured during the day.
 Thousands of persons swarmed about the jail to see the wreck caused by the mob and about the public square. where the three negroes were hanged to an electric light tower and burned Every train brought hundreds of persons to the city from surround ing towns. mostly hoodlums.
 Many from the farming regions caught the mob spirit readily and shared the sentiment of many that the negroes should be driven from Spring  field while the feeling against the ne gro race was strong.
 The two negroes were hanged to the statue of the Goddess of Liberty in the center of the public square of Spring field and slowly roasted to death A mob of 25o0 infuriated men visited the county jail and demanded Horsce Duncan and Jim Copeland who were accused of asszultins Mabel EdwardS q white vom1a
