Tongariro in Eruption.
- ♦ — . Telegrams from Taupo announce that Ngaruhoe, an active cone on Mount Tongariro, burst in eruption early on Sunday morning. A Native named Heta was riding neav by at the time, and felt the ground suddenly tremble. Then a great rumbling was heard. The mountain shook, and all at once an enormous volume of flame, stones, and smoke was thrown from the crater high into the air. The outbreak was similar to that at I arawera, except that no mud was ' sent out of the crater.
The mountain con tinned to belch forth at intervals on Sunday', and grey dust fell. Ngaruhoe is about 10 miles from the Tokoanau settlement. One of th .• guides who ascended ' the inountai i a few da y.-; ago is of opinion that Ngaruhoc will be blown to piece?
