Naples, April 13-Late Thursday
night the towns in the vicinity of the
eruption were threatened with fresh
peril, torrental transforms bringing
down masses of sand and ashes and
adding additional terror to the popu-

Latest reports estimated the dead
at San Giuseppe at 400.
At Resina the rations issued by the
Mayor were Indignantly refused by

threw the loaves of bread in the May

dug out of the ashes among number
of corpses. They were both living.
The stories of the havoc wrought
by the volcano are narrowing as the
survivors manage to tell of their ex-
periences. The dead are lying every
where in and around the ruined
towns. and owing to the fact that the
lava is cooling very slowly, it has
been impossible to take very small
fraction of the bodies. In many
places the lava towers to a height of
sixty feet and the entire countryside
has been denuded of all vegetation or
traces of human habitation.
The relief fund now amounts to
about 100000 and is constantly be-
ing added to.
