LT It is possible that Central America once more has been the scene of a vol- cano horror such as seared the garden lands of Guatemala and buried her peo- ple in ashes when Santa Maria burst into sudden and fearful activity a few! vears ago. This time the scene is laid |in Nicaragua. The volcano is Momo- | tombo. | News of the awakening of this vol- cano from a long sleep was brought here yesterday by the steamship City the four million dollar estate of | of Sydney, which arrived from Central | Thomas W. Evans of Patis, which | ‘America date Tuesday n ght. Momo- | tombo is situated thirty miles inland; means of communication in that part of the world are crude and slow. The demands of commerce prevented the liner waiting for details, but from ap- pearances when the liner left Corinto | volcano caused great damage to a wide territory Three years ago Momotombo's sum- mit began to steam and for a while those living in the vicinity of the moun- tain watched the por with alarm. | There was no eruntion, however, and until the morning of January 1§ the volcano appeared to be sleeping serene- ly. Early that morning thick vapors | were seen arising from the cone-shaped | top of the mountain. As the day wore | on the vapor increased in density, and by noon the volcano was vomiting thick clouds of black and yellow smoke. Sud- | denly flames burst forth, and that | night Momotombo's summit was a blaz- {ing torch, lighting the land as far as the coast and casting the glare of its fire far ogt'to sea. Before the City of Sydney left Corinto word was received that the inhabitants of the villages at Momotombo's base were flying for their lives and that for miles around panic ruled the land. Fears were felt in Corinto for the safety of Leon, the largest city in Nicaragua, having 50,000 inhabitants and situated | about eight miles away from the vol- cano. When the Sydney reached La Libertad a cable was sent to Corinto asking for details of the damage done by the voleano, but no information could be had. The country surrounding Momotombo is thickly vopulated and many valu- able coffee fincas lie within the shadow of the mountain. News travels slowly, even bad news, in that easy-going land, and it may be that not until the next steamer comes up from there will the outside world learn the extent of Nica- ragua’'s affliction. Momotombo is 6150 feet high, and its base forms a promontory in Lake Managua, which runs into Lake Nica- ragua. Momotombo was in active erup- tion in 1852, and again fifteen years ago. tized the burning mountains, but the remony came into disfavor when some monks who undertook to place the cross on Momotombo never re- turned. Nicaragua has many volcanic mountains and has been the scene of some fearful eruptions. In 1835 the sum- mit of Coseguina was blown to atoms, day was changed to night for a space of several hundred square miles, the sea was covered for a distance of twen- ty-five miles from the volcano with ashes and scoriae in layers so thick that navigation was impeded, all ver- dure disappeared under a bed of dust sixteen feet deep and the very shore line encroached on the ocean and the Gulf of Fonseca. The crash of the ex- plosion was heard on the Bogota up- lands, 100 miles away. The eruption lasted forty-three hours, but the people of the surrounding plains had time to i escape, with their domestic animals, followed by wild beasts, birds and rep- tiles.

Tichenor. Supported by a gang of men that scattered as soon as the cowardly deed was committed, French | | accosted Tichenor on the upper floor of the CApitol rotunda and without a word rushed at the detective and sent | him reeling with a blow over the right | eye. Other witnesses, among them Frank Depu, assistant sergeafit-at- arms of the Senate, hurried toward French and blocked his way to his victim. Tichenor, who is not over ! brawn and is well advanced in years, studied the crowd arrayed against him for a moment and then hurried down the corridor toward the Senate cham- ber, where he was joined by Attorney, Frank H. Gould, who represents Corbin during the absence of Gavin McNab. and Detective Henry Hartling. French's gang scattered like chaff as soon as they saw there was no chance to fur- ther aid the bruising Senator and French turned and left the building.

RECESSION BILL PASSED Opponents of the Measure Are Defeated Aftera - Hard Fight. Great Flow of Eloquence Precedes Calling of Roll of House. —— Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2.—By a vote of more than two to ome the Assembly this afternoon finally passed the bill re- ceding Yosemite Valley and the Marfe. posa Big Tree grove to the Fedatal Government. While it has been thought - ever since the Legislature opened that the bill would be passed by the lower house, it was not thought the actiom would be so nearly unanimous. Jones of Tuolumne, who had been active in the fight to defeat the measure, could | scarcely catch his breath to make & motion to reconsider. The arguments on both sides were much on the same lines as those in the Senate on the day the bill came up in SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2.—Excitement grows as the hours pass.
