Inhabitants Are Terrified By Ashes,
 Smoke and Lava

-1 Cantania, Sicily, September 12.-Vol- canic Mount Etna's spouting is increas- ing. Sixteen new Assures have opened. From the two nearest the base of the vol cano great stream of lava issues. It is moving 1250 feet an hour and today it had covered several miles in the direc- ton of Lnguaglosa, northeast of Etna.
 Linguaglosa and Randazzo, to the northwest, are on elevations and are not threatened by the flow of lava, though storms of ashes beat upon them. The residents are panic stricken and some have deserted the towns. Earth shocks :, continue.
 The river of lava has invaded the cen turies old forests of the larch and pine and appears about to destroy the beau- tiful vineyards and nutwoods. It is ex- pected to soon reach the railway line circling Mount Etna at a point between Liguaglosa and Randazzo.
