ANDEAN VOLCANOES
CEASE ERUPTION CAST HUGE SNOWLIKE MANTLE. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph,—Copyright.) (Recen sd this dnv at 10. Id a.m.) NEW YORK, April 13, The “Times” Bueno® Aires correspondent says that rain and ashes from the Andean volcanoes ceased to-day, almost as abruptly as they began on Sunday, after covering the Argentine pampas with a snowlike Manner, inches deep, for seven hundred miles over a strip four hundred miles wide.
A dozen or more volcanoes in eruption quieted sufficiently for the regular air service to Chile to resume. No deaths from the eruption have been reported thus far, and opinion varies as to whether the ashes prove to have a harmful effect on the health of cattle. It is believed to depend on the early rains to wash out and revivify pastures. It to ploughing season now, and it is expected that when ploughed under, the ashes will prove highly beneficial, due to their potash contents.
Fears in the town of Mendoze of asphyxiating gases which would necessitate evacuation have subsided.
A Santiago (Chili) message states that it is reported that dust ashes have ceased falling. The Associated Press correspondent at. Buenos Aires reports that siesmolgists here are inclined to believe that tho volcanic activity was more frightening than actually dangerous.
