Mount Katmai's Crater Opens
While Passengers Watch
Nearly SuffoCated BY
the Gases.
SCENE IS BRILLIANT ONE

Seward, Alaska, June 11.--Passengers
on the mail steamer Dora, which ar
rived from the westward Sunday, after
passing through a hail of ashes from
katmai volcano, believe that several
small fishing villages on the shores Of
SheIikof strait were destroyed by the
eruption. The revenue cutter service

The Dora steamed into the harbor
with the white covering of ashes CIV

ship. The people on the steamer as
she passed through the falling ashes
we're nearly suftocated by the poison
ous gases.
The Dora was in sight Of Katmai

the vessel witnessed a brilliant spec

and ashes poured from the peak and
spread far over the surrounding coun-
try, obscuring the sun and shutting
the troubled mountain from sight. &T
At 4 o'clock, when the Dora was 70
miles from the volcano, total darkness
came and ashes began to fall in thick
clouds upon the deck, covering 1t with
a white layer three inches deep. s

the night the Dora steamed through the

At 5 o'clock Friday morning, the Dora
having steamed SO miles out of the
regular course, clear air was reached
and the passengers were able to breathe
freely again. Looking back, they coulo

EnquIfed in Darkness.
The Dora was engulfed in darkness
again Saturday as h neared Seldovia
and felt her way carefully to Seward.
The volcanic disturbance is the most
violent ever recorded in Alaska. 1t is
estimated that an area Of 300 square
miles, much of it fertile territory, has
been covered to a depth OF several inches
by the volcanic ash.
First evidence that the volcano was
preparing to free itself from the rocks
and lava that choked his throat for
many years came early Thursday, when
the Alaskan peninsula was rocked by @
violent earthquake. At this time the
Dora was at Cold bay. only 13 miles
from the volcano. When the eruption
began she had crossed the Shelikof
strait to Kodiak and was proceeding on
her course.

PROFOUND IMPRESSION
CREATED IN HAVANA

Havana. June W.-The publication in to-
days paper here OF the news of the dis
patch of United States warships from Key
West to Havana under the command OF
Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, created a pro-
found impression.
The popular impression is that the com-
ing of the American ships mean speedy
Intervention by the United States. Of
ficials, however, unanimously scout the.
idea of Intervention regarding the send
ing OF the warships as a friendly act on.
the part of the United States. ##&5
They declare they deplore that Wash
ington has been misled by exaggerated
reports into the belief that a racial war
Is about to break out.
The officials assert that the rioting In.
the streets OF Havana on Saturday night
was not significant of race hatred. but
they do not explain the reason for the
extensive military preparations which
were taken to prevent a breach of the
peace to the capital last night. All parts
OF the city were patrolled until daylight
by attachments OF regular troops and
home guards. All day the condition OF
the city was normal.
There is little popular disposition 10
discuss the coming of the United States
warships, but many expressions of relief
are heard on account Of the assurance OF
security the presence OF the war vessels
will give.
Reports from the various provinces
show that considerable damage has been
done to the crops, particularly Ia. Pinar

day in Los Angeles to testify for the
prosecution in the trial OF Clarence S.

Not until the arrival Of Burns did 1t
become known that he would be a

on several occasions that Burns had
no connection with the case. The
latter announced upon his arrival that
his object In coming to Los Angeles at
this time was to testify IN the barrow
trial and that he would remain until

Mr.. Burns declined to discuss the
nature OF the testimony he expected
