VESUVIUS IN ERUPTION
LAVA PLOWING DOWN SLOPES MOVING SLOWLY. Australian and. N.Z. Cable Association. (Received November 29, 0.30 a.m.) ROME, November 28. Vesuvius is in eruption. A cataract of lava invaded the northern slopes, and at present is from four to six yards broad and six feet deep. It extends almost 1500 yards from the crater, which is hurling great fragments of incandescent material in the air, to the accompaniment of shattering explosions. Professor Malladra, of the observatory, states that the lava stream is moving too slowly to reach Terzigno. 'The outbreak is due to an accumulation of rainwater in the crater. He predicts it will moderate in a few days.
