Catania, Sept. 12.-The crest Of Mount
Etna now presents terrifying specta-
Gle Heavy smoke hangs over ii. with
frequent brilliant flashes. and the bonn
bardment. which is continuous along A
line nearly two miles in extent, is like
the firing of heavy artillery.
A torrent of burning lava estimated
at two thousand feet wide and four feet
deep is pouring down the slope Every
thing in it's way has been carried before
IL. Groves Of trees have been uprooted
and set on fire. and the lava stream Is
sweeping through the fields, sending out
hot. resnous waves Of smoke for miles
around
The peasants have left their homes,
carrying with them the aged, the sick
and the children and whatever meagre
belongings they were able to get to-
gether.
Whole regions, covered with hardened
lava from past eruptions have been torn
open by the frequent earth shocks.
Many of these have been of great vio-
lence, and the peasants fear a repetition
Of the Messna disaster.
Sixteen new assures have opened, and
the lava stream from the two nearest
the base of the volcano is moving at the
rate of 1,250 feet an hour To-day il
had covered several miles in the direc-
tion of Linguaglossa, a town in the foot
hills at the northeast of Etna.
Linguaglossa and Randazzo, 10 the
northwest, are on elevations and are
not threatened by the tide Of lava, all
though storms Of ashes beat on them.
The people, however. are panicstricken.
and many have fled from the towns.
The earth shocks and the rumbling Of
the volcano fill them with fear. and many
may be seen in the streets weeping and
praying.
The river Of lava has invaded the an
cient forests of larch and pine, and ap-
pears about TO destroy the beautiful
VINEYARDS and nutwoods. 1t is expected
soon TO reach the railroad line encircling
Etna. at a point between Linguaglossa
and Randazzo, and interrupt communi-
cation between them.
