Mt Lassen Throws Up Smoke Mile
High, Then "Mushroomed" Out,
Raining Ashes.

Redding, Cal.-The most violent
and terrifying eruption of Mount
Lassen, the American volcano, in
its present period of activity, began
at 5:45 a. m. yesterday. Dense smoke
assembled from the crater for a dis
lance of nearly a mile and then ''mush-
roomed" out, raining ashes on the sur
rounding country. Ashes fell Is miles
from the volcano, and Volta, % miles
away, was inconvenience by sui
phur fumes.
The eruption continued an hour and
then the smoke settled down on the
mountain top, obscuring the view. Be

CHURCHES FIRED BY RIOTERS
Disturbances Continue in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Where Martial
Law Is in Effect.

Sarajevo, Bosnia.-Martial law re-
placed civil government through
out Bosnia and Herzegovina, but riot
ing continued at many points with
Mohammedans attacking Servian
churches and residences. Several
thousand additional troops have been
ordered to the two provinces from
Austria.
Besides burning the SerVian church
at Stolac, mobs have destroyed sew
eral other buildings and are threat
eing to kill all the Servians in the
towns. The precautions being taken
by the Austrian government as a re-
suit of the disorder growing out of
the assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand indicate a fear that the
rioters will commit outrages that will
cause widespread rebellions among
the Servian inhabitants of the two
provinces. They are in the majority
and always have resented Austrian
domination.

Washington Awaiting Returns.

Observation-Disclosures govern
ment officials and others interested
in the Mexican situation awaited
anxiously for details of the election
held in Mexico, in which it was sought
TO choose a successor to Gen. Huerta-
The fact that few votes were cast
caused no surprise either in official
quarters or among the agents of the
Mexican constitutionalists in Wash
ington, because 1t was generally
known that only a few citizens in the
vicinity of Mexico City would vote,
The question now raised in the minds
of observers of conditions is whether
Gen. Huerta will declare the election
valid if some one has been chosen
to succeed him.
Foreign Post for Huerta.
While an early report from Mexico
said it was believed that Gen. Huerta
had been the favorite in the voting for
the president, the general belief pre-,
vailing here was that Huerta had not
been a candidate and that 1t was the
intention in the election to choose
Pedro Lascurain as president
Private dispatches from Mexico City
reiterated that Huerta, in a final eff.
fort to restore peace, intended to turn
the government over to Lascurain
who, in turn, would name some con
stitutionalist as minister of foreign
affairs.
Then Lascurain, according to these
reports would resign, leaving the con
stitutionalist minister of foreign at
fairs to succeed to the presidency
Huerta would be assigned to some
foreign post by Lascurain before this
latter's resignation.
