Five Large New Fissures in Central Crater of Mount Vesuvius. Catania, March 27.—While the quan- tity of lava from the craters of Mt. Etna continues to decrease, the inter- nal activity of the voleano was strong- er today than yesterday. Frank A. Perrett, the American volcanologist, believes the decrease in the flow of lava is due to obstructions in the new craters which prevent it flowing freely and that later. either in a few days or perhaps a week, the molten mass will force a passage or an earthquake will result. Mr. Perrett went tedey from Nicoloal to the Alpine club refuge, which is situated near the craters, and later telephoned down as follows: “The activity of Etna is stronger, but the lava is slower. Terrific explo- sions in the interior of the mountain continue.’ Naples. March 27.—Five large new fissyres have opened near the central crater of Mt.
