New Volcano
.Spouts Lava

Mexico City. July 19-AP-Mil-
lions of tons OF molten lava pour
ing along a 25-mile front from Pari-
cutin, Mexico's newborn volcano,
have engulfed two towns and are
threatening to wipe out three 9TH
ers.

the volcano takes its name, and

The lava,is moving 200 yards 4
day toward Zacan. San Francisco
Pariban and Zirosto, which have
been partly evacuated. Residents
also are leaving other towns farth-
er ahead
Highways leading from the
doomed region are crammed with
caravan of Tarascan Indians
swarming to higher ground with
such belongings-animal and house
hold effects-as they could hastily
scrape together.
Earthshaking explosions are
heard at more or less regular inter
walls from the elevated center Of
the sea Of lava. At each explosion
higher wave of melted stone
pushes out from the volcano, born
in February, 1913.
Nothing is now visible OF the
town Of Paricutin-Tarascan name
for San Juan-except the towers
and roof of the church, which are
expected to fall at any time.
The fve-feet.thick walls of the
famous church of Our Lord Of Mir
acles in Parangaricutiro have been
warped, melted or cayed in by the
lava, which has completely filed
the church. The facade OF the
church still totters, but one Of the
high towers has fallen and been
swallowed up. A portion OF the
high roof of the apse can barely be
seen.
Dwellers OF the region. painted
a gruesome picture ofthe lava pour
ing by night into the church OF
Our Lord Of Miracles. The tombs
on the inside were shattered. they
said, and white skeletons together
with sacred images floated on the
tide pouring out OF the sides OF
the church. Then all were reduced
to ashes.
