One of the streams of lava is now threatening Giarre, a city o( about twenty thousand inhabitants at the base of the volcano. Tho terror stricken populace is making hasty preparations to leave their homes and property in the path of the lava stream and flee for their lives. More than fifty thousand have been made homeless, while lit has been Impossible to far to form a death list, in the area surrounding Mount Ltha. " ' ' ; Ashes, cinders and stonea emit ted by the volcano are so thick Monday as to darken the sun and the eruption of the volcano phows no signs of abating. American tourists at the famous resort of Taormina, ou the eastern slopes of tho mountain, were terri fied witnesses of tho castrophe. At 6:3p a. m..

Terror-stricken people rushed Into tho streets, clad In night clntheo, and rushed to churches praying for aid.
