Mexico City, Feb. 25.—The news of a violent eruption of the volcano of Colima is confirmed. This volcano has been in eruption frequently during recent years. The eruption was violent and startling, but not more so than those of former years. Much alarm was felt by those in the vicinity. At first it was believed that the top of the mountain had been blown off. Stones of great size were ejected and flames shot high into the sky. When the first alarm was over there began to fall showers of ashes and finely pulverized rock. This alarmed the inhabitants of the district, who feared being buried under the debris. Present advices report the volcano as quiescent, but it. is feared it may burst forth again. There are many Americans in the vicinity. At 5:15 o’clock yesterday afternoon the most violent eruption of Colima volcano which has occurred in years took place. At 2:2C p. m.. there was a severe earthquake shock at Tuxpam and a heavy pall of smoke hangs over the entire vicinity. Both Ciudad Guzeman and Tuxpam are near the volcano. Compliment to the Czar.
