Seattle, Wash, June 10.-Detinite

spOuting ashes and hot stones over the
prosperous fishing villages and the
a agricultural land on Kodiak, Afognak
and Raspberry islands.
The eruption began Thursday after
noon and there has been a constant
hail of ashes and stone over wide
area, the finer particle having been
carried by the wind as far as Sitka,
100 miles east of the volcano.
Clouds of Smoke and Ashes.
Dense clouds of smoke and ashes
have turned day into night through.
out radius of 800 miles from Mount
Katmai. The unnatural darkness and
the sitting volcanic dust that fills the
air combine to make navigation in
the affected area hazardous and il
will be difficult for rescuers to reach
the fishermen and cannery employees
along the shores of Shelkof Strait
while the volcano is in action.
Braving Deadly Peril.
In spite of the peril, the revenue
cutter Manning, already is cropping
her way toward the northwestern
shore of Kodiak Island.
The Manning is equipped with wire
less but the atmospheric condition:

Passengers on the mail steamship
Dora, which arrived at Seward, Alas
ka, yesterday, after passing through
the hail of ashes when the eruption
was at its height, gave interesting ac
counts of the spectacle.
