TERRIFIC ERUPTION OF VOLCANO
Island Sank Five Feet-Lava and
Stones BeIched Three Thousand
Feet-A cavaIryman Killed.

Manila.-Observers sent out by the
bureau of science to investigate the
eruptions of the volcano Taal have
telegraphed in report that terri
fic eruption occurred Sunday, stimuli
taneously with two prolonged earth
Quakes. The island on which the vol
cano is located sank five feet. A hea-
Wy mud shower fell and then for half
an hour came hot ashes.
The observatory at Manila corrob-
Grated the report of the earthquake
and adds that a remarkable electri-
cal storm continued for two hours,
with deafening thunder, within the
smoke and gas umbrella above the
volcano. Lava and stones were belch-
ed three thousand feet.
The constabulary assisted the pan
ic-stricken natives. One. cavalryman
was killed by the wreck of a house
on the lake shore. Following the sink
ing of the island wave four feet high
swept over the shore for a radius of
a mile, destroying hundreds of bam-
boo shacks. These, however, had
been vacated on account of the ear
1y eruption which occurred Saturday.
The terrific explosions in the air,
prostrated many of the constabulary.
The observatory here reports total
of 332 shocks. The Southern Rail-
road has not been damaged, but three
inches of mud and ashes cover the
tracks in places, which has held up
traffic. The observatory authorities
say Mayla is in no danger.
1t is believed the towns of Taal and
Lemery have been considerably DAM
aged by mud and stones. Talisay is
partly submerged and all the crops
ruined,
