A VIOLENT ERUPTION.
OF PANAMA MOUNTAIN
By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received April 12, 11.20 a.m.) NEW YORK, April 11.
Vessels arriving at Mobile from Panama report that there, has been a violent eruption of the Chiriquo Peak near Becas-del-Toro. Hundreds of Indians perished, and the whole village was wiped out. The volcano was never before known to be active. Clouds of dust were wafted out to sea, and rocks, were thrown a hundred feet in the air..j
[The volcano is 250 miles from the site of the Panama Canal, so the eruption is unlikely to have caused any damage there.]
