At present the only outward manifesta tion is the emission of sand and ashes. The inhabitants are returning to their villages at the base of the mountain. The depth of the sand which fell in Naples was about two centimeters, making for the whole town about 400,000 cubic meters and weighing about half a million tons. Nearly 5.000 refugees are already housed here and the number is rapid ly increasing, nil the buildings avail able for the accommodation of the fugitives are crowded. The munici pal and military authorities have al ready taken steps to accommodate a large, number of people in this man ner. The number of victims cannot be accurately stated, but is very large.
