NAPLES April intervalof clear skies due to the cessation ofthe ashes and cinders from thevolcano came during this morning tocheer the people and give renewed hopethat It will not be many days now untilthe eruption Is really over

With the beginning of the new daythere was not much In the prospect tooffer encouragement until the showerof ashes ceased At daybreak there wasrecurrence of the earth tremblings andthis gave rise to new fears that the volcane might preparing for a freshburst activity or that earthquakesmight follow the eruption

Tho as rival of British warships hasIncreased the hopes of the people that Itwill be easier now to carry relief to thestricken towns along the coast It Isexpected that American warships willalso be sent here to assist In the reliefwork

Flow of Lava StoppedReports received late yesterday after-noon Indicated that the flow of lavahad ceased everywhere and that thestreams which rolled down the sides

of the mountain were coolingThe relief and rescue work Is beingpushed with all possible vigor As thestricken towns are partially cleared ad

ditional corpses art found showing thatthe total death roll if it is ever com-piled will be greater than was at firstsupposed Evidences of more completeruin wrought by tho eruption than wasbelieved to have occurred have alsobeen disclosed

The correspondent of the PublishersPress has Just returned from a tour ofthe Vesuvian villages The scenes witnessed were heartrending Ituln anddevastation are spread everywhere andscattered here and there In some of thevillages are bodies of men women andchildren lying where they fellIn most of the villages there are stilla few people living Their condition Isdesperate as they are practically withoutfood or water and they are living In themidst of the Inferno caused by the eruption In some of the towns a few of thepublic officers have remained at theirposts The example set by the Kingand Queen and other public officials ingiving personal assistance to the victims of the catastrophe has had a goodeffect and the very presence of the Kingin the various stricken villages has encouraged the people remaining there

King Witness of Sad ScenesVictor Emmanuel In his tours of theregion has seen some awful sights AtOttajano where a hurch collapsed sev

eral days ago 132 bodies were recoveredfrom the ruins of church during thetime the King was In the town PremierSonnlno while In Ottajano yesterdayassisted personally in digging out thecorpses of a family of six persons whohad been overwhelmed in their home

The people have been encouraged today by a message sent from Prof Slattiucci who Is in charge of the RoyalObservatory dn Mt Vesuvius throughmen who ascended the mounttale as high as the observatory Whilesaying it was towould happen because notcnought Is of volcanic forcesMattlucci said he believed he couldexpraT the hope his expericncr the explosive period ofthe eruption is over

Mattlucci ascended mountain far above the observatory and ascertained thatthere will be no further discharge oflava for the present

Says Sea Water CausedVesuvius Outbrt

PITTSBURG April 12 Prof John ABrashear the noted astronomer of thiscity takes no stock in the sunspottheory of the eruption of Mt VesuviusHe says the theory attributed to ProfBelar of Lalbach that a sunspot isresponsible Is ridiculous

If this were true he says whywas Vesuvius quiescent last Octoberwhen the sunspots were at their great-est period of disturbance These

are caused by Inrush of seawater which generates steam and some-thing has to give to save this oldearth from being blown up like a steamboiler

Red Cross Will ReceiveMoney for Vesuvius Victims

The formal reply will be made to MrMitchell in a letter next week W HTruesdale president ofsays that it will contain nothing morethan the Informal reply made by George-F Baer at the conclusion of yesterdaysJoint meeting The operators all unitethis morning In saying they have gone

tar as they will go in the matterof concessions

No Prospect for ResumptionThere is little possibility of a re

Mitchell Not Discouraged-Mr Mitchells declination to break off

completely the negotiations for a settle-ment leaves him In a strong strategicposition to force either a settlement inthe soft coal as well as the hard coalregion or both

TILLMAN FILES

Calls Presidents Secretary-No Gentleman and

Untruthful

Senator Tfilman today filed formalcharges and entered a protest againstthe confirmation of Benjamin F Barnes-as Postmaster for the city of Washington and asked permission to appearbefore the committee with witnesses toprove Mr Barnes unfitness for the officeThe charges Mr Tillman submitted toSenator Carter chairman of the sub-committee on PostoHces and Postroads

That Mr Barnes is lacking inand manly consideration for la-

dies which caused him to abuse his authority so fas as to order the expulsionfrom the executive offices of Mrs MinorMorris on January 4 1905 without anyjustification or a good reason therefore

Watched Outrage

That having issued th e order hestood by and Saw it executed with amost brutal and outrageous mannerwithout Interference compelling thepolicemen to drag and finally with theaid of a negro employed at the WhiteHouse to carry her with the negroholding her by the ankles and with herlimbs exposed the entire distance of theexecutive office at the western end ofthe White house to the eastern exitwhere she was thrust into a cab andsent to the House of Detention bywhich brutal treatment her life was endangered and her health seriously im-paired from the shock and Injuries re-ceived

That after this tyrannical and outrageous abuse of his authority he lodgedcharges of Insanity against Mrs Mor-ris and compelled her to remain inprison lor more than four hours thusadding insult to injury and producing-on the public mind Impressions deroga-tory to both her reputation and hermental condition

Made False StatementThat he made a statement to the

press which was full of falsehood andwhich proved him to be lacking in thatIntegrity and high character which ahigh Government official should have

The following witnesses I desire tohave examined Walter F Clark

H Hazard I C Norwood JamesH Price Henry C DIggs Elmer EPayne and Jules Guthridge

It Is undestood today that unless thecharges are fully sustained and in the

of the subcommittee they woulddisqualify Mr Barnes in assuming hisnew that no report be madeagainst his confirmation
