Paroxysmal Eraptions - Continne With Lessened Destractive Power. ‘" A Mighty Crater, in the Height of Its Glory, Split in Seven Pieces, And Seven Columns of Fire and Smoke Spread Ruin on Sur- rounding Valleys. Land and Water Thickly Covered With Ashes and the Air Charged With Car- bonic Gas. Fourteen Moantainous Peaks Rise Up Frem the Ocean, Where Nono ‘Were Seen Before, Bpecial dispatch to Tue BEg, LoxpoN, August 31.—Reports from Batavia received to-night, are of a more encouraging nature, although the details of the horrors of the eruption continue %o come. After the sudden subsidence of the disturbance in the Kingdom of tam, Monday, the eruptions seemed lose their force for some time, and the ople of Batavia experienced a feeling of relief in the hope that the worst had passed. The quieter condition continued until about 10 o’clock when craters once more began to send up great masses of destructive matter, although without the force of the former actions. The erup- tions seem to be more violent at night than during the day. By 11 o’clock the Pajandayang, which is 4634 feet high, was in a very active state of PAROXYSMAL ERUPTION, It was accompanied by detonations said to have been heard many miles away in Sumetra. Three distinct columns of flame were seen to rise from the monu- tain to a vast height, The whole surface soon appeared as if covered with fiery lava streams, which spread to a great dis- tance on all sides. brones fell for miles around, and the black fragmentary mat- ter carried into the air caused total dark- 088, while wind accompanied this erup ion by which houses, roofs, trees, men and horses were carried into the air The quantity of ashes ejected was such " as to cover the und and the roofs of houses at eramo to a depth of several feet. Of Pont Caay a floating pumice on the sea formed A LAYER TWO FEET THICK through which vessels forced their way with great difficulty. The rise of vapor produced the appearance of a column several thousand feet high based on the edge of the crater. It appeared from a | distance to consist of a muass of innu- merable globular clouds of extreme whiteness, resembling vast balls of cot- ton rolling one over the other as they as- cended impelled by the pressure of fresh supplies incessantly urged upward by the continued explosions. At a great Kight the column spread into a dark, turbid, circular cloud shaped like an immense umbrella. Forked lightning of great vividness and beauty continually darted from difterent parts of the cloud. Sud- denly THE SCENE WAS CHANGED, The mountain was split into seven parts without a moment’s warning, and where the Pupandayang had stood alone, there were now seven distinct points loowing upto a great height In the seams opened could be seen great balls of molten mutter; from the tissures pour ed clouds of steam, and black ejected lapillo flowed in steady streams down the mountain sides, forming beds two or three hundred feet in extent. The exhalations of carbonic acid vas were so abundant that birds and animals in large numbers were killed by it, and a few human beings lost their lives the same way. This proved to be the turning point in the eruption, for the great fis- sures opened seemed to act as safety valves, through which streams of lava gently flowed down into the valleys, Volcanic fires, though still burning at last advices, had lost most of their tierce- ness, and the steam generated found vent without being forced through compara: tively narrow mouths of the old craters. ONE OF THE QUEER INCIDENTS was the sudden rising during Tuesday forenoon of fourteen new volcanic mount- ains 1n the straits of Sunda, and forming a complete chain in almost a straight line between PointSt. Nicholas and the Java- nese coast and Hogo Point, on the coust Sumatra, almost on the top of what had been the Merak and Middle Islands, whichsunk in o the sea Monday. There was no serious changes in the coast or formation of the straits of Sunda, The British government and the Lloyds have telegraphed from Lendon to all’ foreign points, warning vessels that navigation in these waters had become exceedingly dangerous, THE LOSS OF LIFE. In the city of Bantam where 1,500 per- sons were at first supposed to have per- ished, the bodies of 2,800 have already been recovered. Some 900inhabitants of the interior town of Lvarorge are now known to have been killed, and at Tala- ranta, on the coast, 300 bodies 1 ave been found. From all over the island come reports of loss of life and property, and it 1s thought at Batavia that the estimate of 75,000 killed will not prove excessive On the lowlands of Batavia, where the waters have receded and quieted down, hundreds of bruised and mangled bodies are lying exposed. A sanitary corps has been formed, and the corp es are being removed and buried as fast as possible, in order to prevent the breeding and spread of contagion. While there is some cause of anxiety on this score, it is thought the greater number of bodies in the interior were so dried and scorched by the hot lava and stones that they will not putrify, and the bodies of those drowned by the tidal waves can be taken | care of with reasenable facility by the coast sanitary corps, now rapidly getting to work. EXAMINATION ORDERSED, ‘WasnINGTON, August 31, —Commo- dore English, acting secretary of the navy, to-day cabled instructions to the commanding officers of the Juniata and Enterprise, now at Singapore, to proceed with those vessels to the straits ot Sunda to examine the condition of affairs there, and particularly as to the effect of the recent earthquakes and eruptions in that vicinity, They arc ordered to warn all merchant vessels of the danger to navi. gation which may have been caused by the convulsi ANOI The Union Pacifics Again Beat the Des Moines-Other Doings on Turf and Diamond. Special Dispatch to Tus Bex. Des Moines, August 31.—The Union Pacitic base ball club, of Omaha, beat the Des Moines again to-day by a score of 8 6. The Des Moines club was primed for a victory to-day by fair or foul means. The umpire was outrageously biased and done all in his power to beat the Omaha boys, but the latter were so far superior to their opponents that they snatched victory from them in spite of the umpire and a large crowd of howling backers. The boys have battled against many prejudiced umpires during their trip, but the one to-day possessed more ignorance of the rules of the game and less courtesy than all others put together, The Omahas made 18 hits, 14 safe; Des Moines 12 hits, 10 safe, McKelvey, Whitney and Brisgs were the batting battery. Baundle did fine work behind the bat.
