VESUVIUS IN ERUPTION
CATARACT OF LAVA FLOWING.
By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received Nov. 29, 12.35 a.m. Rome, Nov. 28.
Vesuvius is in eruption and a cataract of lava has invaded the northern slopes. At present it is from four to six yards broad, six feet deep, and extends almost fifteen hundred yards from the crater, which is hurling great fragments of incandescent material into the air, accompanied by shattering explosions. Professor Malladra, of the observatory staff, states that the lava stream is moving too slowly to reach Terzigno. He considers the present outbreak is due to the accumulation of rain water in the crater, and predicts a moderate eruption for a few days.
