COLIMA ACTIVE,

MEXICO CITY, April 19-The Colima
volcano IN southern Mexico is threaten
ing another eruption and residents Of
the entire district in the neighbOrhOod
OF the mountain are IN a state OF panic
For half a century this volcano has
terrOrized MeXicaus, and its present
activity. coupled with the recent erup-
ton and accompanying earthquake
shocks. has driven the people 10 des-
peratiOn.
The last three DAYS the volcano has
been vomiting smoke and ashes in such
volume that the sky for miles around
has been completely obscUred.
Fleeing to the Hill.
Hundreds Of residents of the volcano
region are fleeing for their lives. and
thousands OF others are only waiting
the nTst signal from the crater that
another eruption is probable, 10 join In
tho mad rush to safety. The hilltOps
near the volcano have been turned into
refuge camps, where the alarmed fugi-
lives have established themselves tenn
porarily. Food supplies are running
short and il is feared much suffering
will result unless the panic is relieved
and the refugees return to their homes.
Reports now coming in show that the
damage caused by the earthquake is
much greater than at first imagined.
No attempt has been made to estimate
definitely the financial loss, but it will
be Verv heavy. The death list, however,
is small in comparison with the material
damage wrought by the shock In none
of the tow ns wholly or partially de-
killed outright. Hundreds OF persons,

girl that YOU want. 1t doesn't that she doesn't
exist.
Or is married to a missionary, he murmured
with mock pathos. " But here is our landing;
shall have to get in carriage and sit for two or
three hours waiting for His Imperial Majesty to
come along"
To Mrs Blake, still with foreigners avidity for
the ordinary sights of strange town, the time did
not seem long before the procession of yellow satin
lined victorias from the Yildiz Kiosk began. But
Weirs interest in the procession was less for the
autocrat, who quaked with fear at the head and for
the splendid troops that guarded him, than for the
carriages containing the women of the harem with
their irnsy yashnaks half conceang their features
so potent is the veil to the imagination of the un
yelled West.
During the slow and intermittent progress of the
procession carriage containing two young
women stopped within yard of where Weir sat;
and whether it was the allurement of the veil or
not, it seemed to him that he had never fair
face that of the girl the side of the carriage
next him.
1t is popularity of English speaking persons in
foreign land that while they expect their wants
to be understood, when expressed in English they
yet consider that they may freely criticize persons
of another nationality without being understood.
Stephen Weir had this failing of his race, and turned
to Mrs. Blake with more enthusiasm, perhaps, than
tact, and exclaimed:
Grace, just look at that wonderful creature
