Mont Pelee Still Active

Mont Pelee Still Active.—June 19 the Martinique volcano shot forth a column of mud over 300 feet high, which buried the lower part of Basse Terre under about sixteen feet of slime. Twenty-two houses were engulfed. Thirty houses have been carried out to sea. There have been more recent and violent outbursts as late as July 12. The volcano in St. Vincent is also still active, and earthquakes are frequent.
