The military forces have earned the gratitude and admiration of the people by their devotion to duty. Not only are they credited with many acts of heroism, but they have displayed untiring perse- verance in searching for the living and the dead among tottering walls, assisting fugitives to reach places of safety, giving aid to the injured and burying the dead, and all this while partly suffocated by the ash and other cinder-laden wind blowing from the volcano. No danger has been too great for the troops to encounter and no fatigue too severe for them In this work the soldiers and others have been shown a worthy example by the Duke and Duchess of Aosta, who are praised on all sides. The Duke is pronounced to be a worthy descendant of the late King Humbert, who, in 1884, went to the assistance of the sufferers | from the cholera epidemic, visiting the paties in hospitals and in some cases remaining by the bedside of the dying until the end. According to the Mattino fifty houses, three churches and the municipal buildings at Somma have collapsed. The sand and cinders are six feet deep there, and all the Inhabitants have sought saftey in flight. Houses at Ot- tajano are still collapsing and most of the buildings in the towns and villages in that neighborhood are tottering or in ruins. The prisoners in the City Jail mu- tined today, owing to fright, and suc- | ceeded in breaking open some of the doors inside the building, but were sub- dued by the guards. The prisoners, however, are in a state of great excite- ment, requiring double guards. The employes of a tobacco factory in Naples, believing the ropf was about to 'all this morning, fled in panic from building and communicated their fears to S0 many persons outside that the police were compelled to interfere and restore order. Many persons were | injured during the panic. R N MATTUCCI SENDS CHEERING WORD. Daring Sclentist Says the Eruption Will Soon Be at an End. ROME, April 11.—Professor Mattucci, in charge of the observatory at Mount | Vesuvius, telegraphed from there at 10 o'clock this morning as follows: “The situation of myself and the car- bineers in the observatory was very grave throughout the night. Up to 8 o'clock this ‘morning the . observatory was enveloped in dense showers of sand, but the volcano is now calmer. The seismic instruments show quieter records than yesterday. I shall remain here as long as possible. “If my words could influence the population they would be words of en- couragement and sympathy, for I am most confident that Vesuvius will soon return to its normal condition.” P R S RED CROSS TAKES UP RELIEF. | —_— | Wil Recelve and Forward Contribu- tionx to Voleano Victims.

Edwards, superintendent of the Uma- tilla reservation, refuses to be scalped, and in order to make assurance doubly sure has sent for a troop of cavalry from Fort Walla Walla. Trouble’on the Uma- tilla reservation has reached a crisis and preventive ‘measures are being taken. Major Edwards says that he has asked for the cavalry to prevent the Indians from invading the stockmen and also to prevent the stockmen from invading the Indians. | It is currently believed since the peti- tion filed by the Indians asking for the removal of Major Edwards-and prac- tically threatening that his death may follow the failure to remove, that the call for troops Is in order to show.the Indians that Edwards has the Government be- hind him. The stockmen | are causing much trouble by attempting to cross the reservation with their stock under cover of darkness. This has been brought ahout by sthe order from Washington, since rescinded, permitting one stockman, John Todd, to cross with 100 head of- cattle. Now all stockmen are attempting to’ cross. The Indians resent this and to prevent a'clash Major Edwards and his Indian police are | patrolling the reservation night and day. Chiefs of Umatllla, Walla Walla and | Cayuse tribes charge Major Edwards with bullying tactics, using profane, obscene and abusive language toward them, cut- .ting off their hair when in a rage and in other ways tormeting them.
