expect to suffer from exposures to the

the Hudson river. down the whole
length Of tho tube. passing under the

but divers, but the explorers hope to
be able to navigate the entire distance
without coming up for air.

Of the eruption and earthquakes when
devastated the island of Sakura and
the town Kagoshima, destroying hum
dreds of lives on January II. is given
by Theodore r. Hoyer, Of Wisconsin,
who was an eye witness. He says:
The volcano of Sakura-Jlma, at the
beginning Of h eruption resembled a
Niagara of fire from which masses OF
molten stone were hurled long dis
stances.
'During the night Of January II a
loud explosion was heard. followed by a
flash Of fame and a cloud Of ashes,
rising many thousand feet. Beneath
the cloud Of smoke and ashes broad
streams of lava could be plainly seen
flowing down the slopes to the sea. The
forests on the mountain sides quickly
caught fire and the flames spread to
the houses of tho numerous little VII
lagos near by.
"The entire western coast lines of
Sakura seemed to be ablaze and a
string wind carried smoke. a and hot
ashes straight to the mainland.
From Kagoshima three miles across
the bay people fled In panic stricken
crowds, many OF them ascending the
steep side Of Shiroyama mountain and
looking back from there in terror on
the scene.

ashes. Many of the people returned to
their crumbling houses.
"Sakura-Jima was still actively
belching out flames n cinders. but

| violent and soon subsidized altogether
for a time. The town OF Kagoshima
was filled with malodorous gases how
ever.

along the shore with their rice fields
and gardens had been leveled by the
molten lava. while the surrounding
forests had been destroyed.

MEXICO MUST MEET ALL
CLAIMS OF FOREIGNERS

Washington. d. c., Jan. 20.-AlI just
claims against the Mexican government
will be viewed equally, regardless of
the nationality Of claimants, in demon
strating h policy Of the United States
toward recognition Of any government
that may succeed the Huerta regime in
Mexico, is the opinion Of those who are
closely watching developments.
1t was said that r~eiteration OF this
attitude had been the only assurance
made inquiries because of the an
nounced purpose Of Huerta to default
In the semi-annual interest payment on
h debt. .a..
It was pointed out that the attitude
of the United states made 1t unlikely
that any Mexican government would be
recognized which did not acknowledge
national debts contracted before Presi-
dent wilson's declaration against the
Huerta government.
