DESCRIBES SCENES
AROUND KALUT
Woman Tells. of Volcanic
Eruption That Destroyed
26 Villages

Singapore, June 81, via Toxic. Aug.
l. - The awful scenes which prevail
ed when the volcano of Kalut in Java
burst into eruption on May 20, des-
troyed 26 villages and caused a loss
of life estimated by some at $4,000
are vividly described by Miss e. w.
Cranen who has arrived here from
Sourabaya.
A river of boiling mud and lava
which overwhelmed the village of
Blitar where Miss Cranen was stay-
ing, she says, was ten miles wide and
four feet deep.
The first symptoms of the coming
eruption, Miss Cranen said, were
sounds like thunder and vivid flashes
in the sky. Enormous boulders were
flung from the volcano into the low
lands around it for immense dis
tances: There was pitchy darkness
owing to a rain of ashes.
River of Lava
Then came warning to the occu-
pants of the hotel at Blitar that the
river of lava and mud was approach

selves as to what to do to avoid a
hideous end" she said. TWENTY four
of those staying at the hotel escaped
death in the boiling mud by fleeing
aboard a motor car driven by the wife

According to Miss Cranen the river

A Mr.. Boekhont managed to rescue
his wife and some of his children, but
owing to the velocity of the mud
river was unable to save two of his
little ones who perished before his
eyes. One European, while in bed in
his house, was carried away and de-
posted miles distant.
$4,000 Lives Lost
Sourabaya paper which places
the total loss of life at $4,000 says
that 10 Europeans perished, and that
after the volcano subsidized the arms
and legs of the victims were seen
protruding through the mud all over

reported missing.
1t is learned that three lava streams
flowed from the volcano all taking
the same course as in the eruption
of 1901. On of these destroyed Blitar.
Government geologists who ascended
to the crater of Kalut after the erup-
tion found it empty.
The Dutch Government of the
devastated district reported that 5.100
persons were killed in the eruption

Government Reduces Number

Allowances

London, Aug. 2.-The payroll of
the unemployed to whom the gov

has been reduced by about 5000
names since May last when the gov
ernment drew its purse strings
tighter. From November to May
the weekly benefits were paid to
about 1,25O,000 persons. Payments
are now being made to about $780,
600.
At first the amount paid the men
out of work was Sc a week, SIS to
women, So to boys and $3.50 to girls.
There were smaller grants for
children, so that 1t was possible for
an unskilled workman with four
children to draw nearly $11 a week,
which was more than some could
earn at work.

while others who never had done

themselves in the happy position of

Instructions from the government
to disbursing officials were to lean
toward the side of generosity and
