Volcano of Santa Marla In Guatemala Is Also In Eruption and Spreading Death and Ruin—Refugees Seeking Safety at Seaside. Kingston, St. Vincent, Nov. 27.—A violent eruption of La Soufriere, th fifth big outburst since the catastro phe of May 7, took place yesterda; Georgetown, and the village of Cha teau Belair, situated on the west coast of St. Vincent, were again evacuated by their inhabitants. Telephone communication in those districts is interrupted owing to fierce lightning. Subterranean rumblings can be heard, and volcanic clouds are seen from the city. The crater has been smoking constantly since the terrible eruption of Oct. 16. San Francisco, Nov. 27.—Tho vol carlo Santa Maria was in violent erup tion when the Pacific mail steamer City of Panama, which arrived here yesterday, left there nine ,days ago. While the steamer lay at Champorico the mountain far away was spouting ashes, smoke and pumice stone, the flakes falling in showers all over the country. Tho city of Quezaltenango fs lo cated- at the base of Santa Marla on the eastern slopo and no fears have heretofore been entertained for the town’s safety. All the damage re ported has been on the western side, reaching from the.mountain to the seashore, 30 miles away. That tho damage has extended across the mountain Is evidence of the terrific activity of the volcano. Refugees are making their way to the seaside, traveling to Ocas or Champerico and from the ports pro ceeding south by steamer, s From the officers of the City of Panama, It was learned that some of the planters are of the opinion that the ashes may he beneficial to the soil and' that the damage to. the ranches may be only temporary. Absolute ruin stares many ranch ers In the face and- the livelihood of thousands of natives for many months to come has been shut off by the de structive weffk of the volcano and work of rehabilitating the farms will probably be that of other hands than the present owners, for so great has been the damage that the majority of planters may never recover from their losses. E. Otis, of New York, a passen ger on the City of Panama, describes the appearance of the land and sea In the neighborhood of the spouting mountain. "As far as the eye could reach from Champerico.” ho said, “there la noth ing to be seen but ashes and pumice stone. We sailed for mlleB through n sea of ashes. From the soa to Santa Matla the country looked like a boil ing caldron. At times tho discharge would bo carried up a short distance Into the air, and then it would spread out like an umbrella- and fall to the earth, covering troos, bushes and bills with a white shroud. "At other times the discharge would »m to leap high to the*air os if propelled fay a shock that could felt all tho way to Champerico. Earth quakes wore frequent and the people felt that the country rested on a very uncertain foundation.
