Fort de France, Island of Martinique, May, 28.A tremandous explosion of very black smoke from Mont Pelee oc curred at a quarter before 9 o'clock this morning. Fear was entertained for the safety of George- Kennan, the Amer lean author, who, with a land party. has been examining the northern part of the island. The governor of Martin'qne, M. L. Huerre, was at once seen with the object of arranging for - a rescue party. but about 11 o'clock Fern and Clerc, a wealthy landed proprietor, arrived and announced that Mr. Kennan and his party were safe on a plantation at the north end of the island. -. I Professor Robert T. Hill, United States Government geologist and bead of . the expedition sent here 1 by the Na tional .Geographical society, who left Fort de France Monday on' horseback for the volcano, returned home this morning, completely exhausted, 8peaktng of his expedition to Mont Pelee, Professor Hill said: "My attempt to examine the crater of Mont Pelee has been futile. , I succeeded, however, in get? ting very close to Morne Ronge, "At 7 o'clock Monday night I witnessed from a point near the rains of St. Pierre a frightful 'explosion from Mont Pelee and noted the accompanying phenomena. wnue tnese eruptions continue no sane man should attempt to ascend to the crater of the volcano. , "Following the salvos of detonations from the mountain gigantic mushroom shaped columns of smoke and cinders ascended into the clear, star-lit sky , and then spread, iu a vast black sheet, to the south and directly over my head, Through this sheet,: which extended distance of 10 miles from the crater, vivid and awful lightning-like bolts flashed with alarming frequency. They followed distinct paths of ignition; but were dif ferent from lightning in : that the bolts were horiiontal and . not perpendicular. xms is lnaieputaDie eviaence oi tne ex plosive oxidation of the gases after they left the crater. This Is a most import ant observation and explains,' la part. the awful catastrophe. This ' phenom, non is entirely new in volcanic history, ''Nearly all the phenomena of these volcanic outbreaks are new to science, and many of them have not yet been ex plained. The volcand Is still Intensely active, and I cannot make any predic tions as to what it will do." . BASEBALL ' ' STATE UUOTTE.
