VOLCANIC OUTBREAK
MOUNT kATMAI POURING ASHES
OVER SURROUNDING COUNTRY
AND iMPERILs MANY LIVES.
Oeafening Explosions Occur at Short
Intervals, the Ground in Some
Places Being Covered From Three
to Four Feet With Ashes.

Seward, Alaska.-Katmai volcano.
in the Alaska peninsula is in violent
eruption, and grave fears are enter
tanned for the safety of the inhabi-
tants of Kodiak and neighboring
islands.
Including Indians it is estimated
that 1900 persons are in peril. It is
the height of the salmon-canning sea-
son and large crews of men are en-.
gagged in fishing and canning.
The mail steamship Dora, plying to
points along the Alaska peninsula and
Kodiak island, reports that Mount
Katmais outbreak is terrible in its VIC
lence. Deafening explosions occur at
short intervals and the surrounding
country is covered with three to four
feet of ashes.
The wave indications in Shelikoff
straits were such as to lead the Doras
master to fear that there had been a
general lifting of the ocean bottom
near shore. For this reason as we'll
as because of smoke and ashes, the
Dora did not dare to approach Kodiak.
Katmai has always been regarded
as extinct. The natives have no ira
dition of any former activity of the
mountain

Race Riots, Should it be Found
Necessary.

Washington.-The navy department
on Sunday ordered Rear Admiral Os-
terhaus to proceed forthwith from
Key West to Havana with one dis
patch ship and one other ship. These
orders were issued by the state de-
partment after the receipt of dis
patch from Minister Beaupre report
ing that conditions in Havana had as
sumed the character or race war.
1t is probable that Admiral Oster-
haus, besides the dispatch ship, will
take his flagship, the Washington,
into Cuban waters.
Minister Beaupres message said
conditions in and around Havana had
been menacing since Friday night, and
that Saturday night there were anti
negro demonstrations of large proper
tons by irresponsible elements and
that there were classes in every quar-
er in Havana.
He reported that the negroes were
being goaded into violence and that
retaliation might have disastrous con-
sequences. Americans and other for
eigners and many Cubans, he said,
were apprehensive and desired the
sending of an American war vessel.
