Martinique, dated the 9Th of May, az %
nounciI g that on the 10th of May the city
of st. Pierre had been set on fire, and that
the blacks had risen upon the white popu-
la,ion of the place.
The firing of the city was supposed TO be
the signal for a general rising. About one
hundred houses were destroyed, The city
had been fired three times before but the
contlagrltlon had not spread.
The negroes surrounded the city and ac-
cording TO The report committed very serl-
Gus excesses. Every white citizeL capa-
lie of bearing arms had been called out,
and The city was ulder martial law The
insurgents had been subdued aud many of
them taken prisoners. They were on rial
when the letter was written, and it was
expected would be shot.
