HuERTA's PLIGHT DESPERATE.
Cash Box Empty and Government NAV
Not be Able to Float Loan.

Mexico City.-Financial impoyer.
ishment and an increasing organiza-
ton among scores of rebel bands have
reduced the provisional government
to what appears to be a desperate sit
uation, but conservative residents Of
the federal capital profess to believe,
in view of the recent military opera
tions and the fact that Provisional
President Huerta continues to secure
money, even though in small amounts,
that the government may not fall for
many months unless some unexpected
turn for the worse occurs.
Saturday was pay day for govern.
ment employees and in almost all de-
partments there was little delay in
meeting the pay rolrs. Tnat the gov
eminent may not be able to float an
other loan is conceded by MexIcans
generally, but none has lost sight of
the fact that the country is rich and
that General Huerta as last resort
would not hesitate to take money
where he could find 1t.

STREAMS Of LAVA
POUR OVER ISLAND
VOLCANIC ERUPTION WIPES OUT
VILLAGE AND BRINGS DEATH
TO HUNDREDS.
Five Hundred Natives of Island of
Ambrim Lose Their Lives When All
the craters of Volcano Enter Into
Full Activity.

Sydney, New South Wales.-Incom.
ing steamers bring terrible "details OF
the recent volcanic eruptions on the
island of Ambrim, in the New Her
brides group, in which 500 natives lost
their lives. Witnesses of the disturb
ance describe it as having been SO
sudden and violent that they expect
ed to see the whole western side of
the island disappear.
With terrific roar, which was fol
lowed by a rapid succession of artil-
ery-like detonations, all the craters of
the volcano entered into full activity,
spouting flames and lava, and throw
ing out huge boulders. Great streams
of lava soon were rushing down the
slopes, cutting off the villagers from
escape. In one instance two torrents
of the molten mass joined and made
an island of one entire section of a
village. Here fifty or sixty persons
persisted.
The scenes at night were awe-inspir-
ing. Flames shot into the air to a
height of a thousand feet, Illuminating
the whole scene of destruction. The
ocean seemed to boil as huge super
heated masses of stone fell into the
sea and streams of lava poured into
the bay. Dust from the craters grad
ually formed black cloud which
blotted out the light of the stars.
The bay after the eruption was fill
of dead turtles. The water in the
of dead trutles. The water in the
river was hot.
The British hospital buildings were
wiped out of existence, but previous
to their destruction the doctors pluck
lily removed all the patients to
launch and escaped with them.

Observation-Disclosures General Nc
Reynolds told friends Saturday that
scores of the independent telephone
companies in the United States were
gratified with the agreement that the
so-called trust has made with the de-
partment of justice, which will give
them the use of thousands of miles
of trunk lines operated by the Bell
companies. The department, he said,
hardly could have expected any court
to order the Bell company to allow
Independents to make use Of Bell
equipment, and there practically was
no chance that the independents could
raise sufficient funds. if they had the
desire, to build competing long dis
lance lines.

that the land must be high, rough or

the better it will suit him, he says.
He says he wants it for a particular
purpose, but what the purpose is he
doesn't say, but he does say that
he has the cash to pay for the same.
From the description he gives of
