LONDON Auff 28Tue lutoet wlvlccs from
Dntavln thin capital of Java show that tIme Tot
cnntooruptlons In thnt Island are much more
serious than at first Indicated The disturb
ances boean on tho Island of Hrnkatoa Laths
Strait of Sunda about fifteen miles oft the
coast of Java Tho deep rumblings wore die
luctly audible nt HurokcrUand Batavia about
ortyllvo and twentytwo miles olT respective
ly Little nlatm was felt nt first but within a
tow hours showers of stones becan foil at
ocjnkortn Bournbnyo and Bnmarnnir All
hroukh the night showers of rod hot rook
and adios fell making complete darkness it
nil those towns In nntnvln hero was nn oc
casional full and It was difficult to keep the
troot lltihts burning In the European quarter
hg the utoxt mornlmr nil communication with
Anjor was cut off all the bridges lowing boon
lustrorod by tho descending rocks and aah s
and the road rendered Impassable 4
The II rst eruptions were oil Saturday night
On Sunday mornloK tin disturbances had or
ended beneath lie waters of thin strait nnd
hoy woro soon bolllnc and hlsslnc violently
vhlloeront waves dashed upon tho Jnvanesa
shores and the temperature of tho sea wont
up nearly twenty degrees Even ns far away
front tho original point of disturbance ns Ma
dora more tlmn 500 miles tho turloua waves
wore lashed into mountains ot foam ax they
cithtlu rolling In Tho threatening rumblings
rndunlly became more and then distinct sad
by noon the Mnhn Moru the largest of tutu vol
canoes of Java was botching forth flumes at oa
ilurnilnK rate This eruption soon spread to
ho Gununs the orator of which Is tho largest
In tint world being neatly four miles In di
ameter tho Qunune Ountur and many other
minor mountains until moro than n third of
the fortyflvo craters of Java wore cither la
active eruption or seriously threatening It
Just before iluak n great luminous cloud
formed over the Gununir Guntur and th
crater of that volcano began to vomit up enor
mous streams of white acId sulphurous mud
and smaller quantities of lava There wore
rapidly succeeding explosions followed ha
Iremendous showers of elnders nnd enormous

valleys below carrying denth and de

came sympathetic demonstrations from the
son The overhanging eloiids wore so eur
charged with electricity that nt one time mom
than fifteen hugo vvntorspouli wore Been
Those have continued at somewhat long inter
vats over etnco Men woman anti children
rushed in terror front their tottering dwelling
places Illllne the air with their Hbrloks of hor
ror Hundreds were unable to got out before
the houses fell and woro burled beneath the
Treat masses of rocks and mud which went
piled up where a few hours before all had been
peace happiness and fancied security
The Gununs Tongger has not had an erup
tion before since tho year 1800 when au extent
of land 17 miles long and 7 brand was
completely covered with the whlto sulphurou
mud so peculiar to the eruptions of Java The
peak of Gunung Tonggor Is 6000 feet above the
son and the monument of flnmo on top of this
made n scone of wonderful grandeur Every
moment a huge boulder nt tired or while heat
would bo burled from Tenjrgorg crater with
ternllo force and after going hundreds ol
loot Into this aIr would tall back with
a whirr crashing through tho thatehel
root of some Chinese fishermans but
or crushing beneath Its hugo mass the body ot
some nntlvo peasant Flsaurn after fissure ap
peared In the sides of the mountains and hen
and there lathe valleys there came ereatynwn
Inc chasms On the elevated plains of Kodlrl
and Dnndong the ahowers of stone mud and
lava were not so frequent afl In the lower por
tions of the Island but woro still destructive
Much of the northern portion of the Island
which wus covered with niche of foiusts wag
soon In ono great blaze Thin rodhot vomit
logs from the craters had set thIn trees on fire
and the giants of thin woods fell ono after an
other like so many sheaves of wheat before a
gnlo As tho eruptions Increased In frequency
and violence tho disturbance of the water
surrounding the barren const bocamo
moro and more violent Hero the
waves rushed In turriflo force up
the steep rocky Incline breaking up
on tho overhangIng crags and ro < edlng

At the entrance to Butnvla vvaa a large group

Bantam once a prosperous native city but
practically abandoned by Kurnpuans many
yearn ago was entirely covered by the water
and there must howe been fro in 1200 tn 1600
people drowned there TInt island of Heron
just off the coast was completely Inundated
and not n soul remains on It to toll tho tale ol
disaster und death
At Cherlbon there was no great flood of wa

falling of rocks and the flow ot lava must liar
bean considerable
Uultonzorg suffered very seriously as did
Hamarang Jogjakarta Kournkorta and Bourn

towns Indicate that their loss was ns grout In

Urambaninn were very much damaged anti
some of them destroyed Homo of the domes
of the noted temple of Vorobodo were crushed
