Two Thousand Dead
Naples Being Buried Under Asbes. Great Loss of Prop
erty and Life. Vesuvius Still Active.
Naples. April 11—An enormous
volume of black smoke is rising two
miies above the crater of Vesuvius
and incandescent masses of stone
are thrown three thousand feet
high. The wind is carrying ashes
over the city of Naples, which is
completely enveloped in darkness.
The sole communication with the
sea is cut off. The air is full of
sulphurous gases and thousands
have fainted from breathing the
foul air. New fissures are opening
in the mountain far below the
cone and are emitting great streams
of molten lava. Not a vestige of
the town of Boscotn-cns is left.
The lava flow has reached tin'out
skirts oi Vue town of Torre d* i (ire
Co, where the inhabitants of ethi r
towns have fled for safety. ! hou-—
ands of acres of vineyards and
farms, with Imilding and stock,
have been entirely destroyed. ’lie

everywhere. Many of the i. ;i I
ings in the cities along the path of
d v '.station are covered bv fifteen
feet of ashes. Ischia, thirty miles
west of the volcai.a, is being evac
uated. The eruption this morning
has taken on renewed energy, and
Naples is now threatened. T' e
inhabitants are fleeing for their
lives. The lava flow may again
Itury Pompeii. The loss of life so
tar is estimated at two thousand.
