MEXICO CITY, Jan. g. Might -
Fresh volcanic outbursts tonight were
reported to threaten the stricken dis
Etrict southwest Of Jalapa where thou
sands of people already have been
killed OF rendered homeless by earth
quakes and volcanoes.
The volcano Cofre De Perote. west
of Jalapa, was reported in official
government adyices to be showing
signs OF renewed activity while the
crater of San Miguel still was report
ed belching smoke and lava.
The official adyices tended to con-
Arm earlier reports OF terrible loss
.of life and property in the stricken
area. Many hamiets have been COM
pletely DESTROYED. only handfuls OF
their populations remaining alive.
Jalapa, late advices showed, suffer-
ed even worse than 1t was at first
believed. Many public buildings were
destroyed including the state and
municipal palace. the municipal col
lege and the regimental barracks.
One village, 1t was said. was COM
pletely crushed when q hill near
which 1t was situated collapsed, liter
ally burying the town. AT one place,
according to government advices,
1900 rebels were killed when the vol.
canic outbursts destroyed their camp.
At Teocelo, it was said, only one
house remained standing
Great chasms have opened in the

The shrine of the favorite saint Of
Zipizahua was swallowed up in the
earth, government dispatch said,
adding to the terror of the supersti-
tious Indians who looked upon the
disappearance of their saint as a
particular manifestation of divine
wrath.
Conflicting reports marked the situ-
alton around Mount Orizaba. Some
said the volcano showed
signs of activity, while others claim
ed 1t was quiet.
Government officials were worried
over the effect the earthquakes and
volcanoes will have on the Vera Cruz

| Senators are Confused.
lIBy l.. G. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondents
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Confused
and badly divided in parties over the
issue raised by the conflicting posi-
| tions Of President Wilson and VIII
liam Jennings Bryan on the peace
treaty, senators today were today
waiting to hear from the country.
Within few days it is expected
senatorial mail will begin to show
whether the people favor Bryan's de-
mand that democrats yield on reser-
yations. or Wilson's insistence chat
the treaty go into. the campaign
Meanwhile talk of a. compromise
continued today to an extent which
surprised those senators who believed
there is no hope of getting one.
These members pointed to the state
ments OF Senator Hitchcock, for the
democrats, and Senator Lenroot for
the mild reservationists" as PROOF
that compromise is out of the ques-
ton. Senator Hitchcock said:
The presidents letter set the limit
or compromise as interpretative res
eryat1ons.' Democrats never intended
TO go any further than interpretative
reservations. They do not now in
tend to go any further. They never
did intend, and never will yield upon
the question of repudiating our obIi-
cation under article ten"
Lenroot said "all talk Of .interpre-
tatlVe reservations as the basis OF
compromise is idle. The reservations
must be vital. We cannot yield upon
the matter OF accepting an obligation
under article ten"
Hitchcock did not speak for all the
democrats, nor did Lenroot speak for
all the republicans. Within each
party there is a decided split. But
the fact which seems to grow clearer
daily is that there never has been
is not now. and never will be any
possibility Of getting sixty-four yotes
for compromise which President
Wilson woulde accept.
Some democrats appeared TODAY ia
be in the position of supporting both
wilson and Bryan. This apparent
paradox was explained this way. how
ever. Most democrats agree with
Bryan that the treaty ought not TO
be injected into the campaign. But
they also agree with Wilson that If
must not be scuttled.
The republican split is largely due
to Senator Lodges attitude of accent
ing Wilson's challenge to make tho
treaty a campaign issue.
Many republicans frankly regard
the treaty as dynamite In cam
paign. They think Lodge ought to
go further than he has in trying to
get together with the democrats
ratify the treaty, then let Wilson re.
5ect 1t IL he wants to and accept the
responsibility before the country.
