BALTIMORE, September 6.-The steam
ship American, OF the West Indian Pa
ciic Steamship Company, has arrived at
this port from Kingston, Jamaica. Capt,
Wallace states that his vessel and the Ger
man bark Eunlce we're the only craft that
survived the terrible cyclone which swept
over the entire island OF Jamaica and des.
troyed nearly all the shipping in the har-
bor. The hurricane struck the island,
coming from the southwest, about 1880 P.
N ON Wednesday, August Is. In half an
hours time above the roar of the
tempest could be heard the break
ing Of ..wharves, the cracking Of spars
and the booming Of vessels's bulls as
they were dashed against the obstructions
and broken into pieces. The Italian bark
Caroni, which lay Just in the rear OF the
American, was battered TO pieces against
the heavy iron sides OF the latter. The
steamship was lifted upon the.wayes and
flung high and dry on the wharf. She
was gotten of; however, the next day
without any damage. The morning after
the storm along the entire line OF Kings
town harbor, from Roe's 10 Robinson's
was mass OF debris-all the wharves
and even houses on the water front being
more or less damaged. Captain Wallace
states that the cyclone swept over nearly
the entire island, ard the destruction in
land was almost as general as on the coast.
Many lives were lost and hundreds OF
Thousands OF dollars worth OF property
scattered to the winds.

Utter destruction followed the
storm, and the damage could not be esu-
mated. In the Up PARK Camp the prison
ers were released 70 save their lives, which
were threatened by the falling buildings.
Two women were killed at GIengofe by
the house falling upon them, and at New
Castle one soldier and three women are
reported killed. Not a green leaf is to- be
seen for miles, and twenty years will be
required to restore the place to the con-
dition in which it existed before the storm.

Errea says the harvest in the southern
and eastern counties is mostly completed,
and the grain Is stacked in very excellent
condition. The general testimony 90 far
concurs that the results OF threshing are
disappointing. II has been for some time
accepted as matter OF course that the
abnormal season and the general prevail
enGe OF mildew, must materially reduce
the yield Of marketable wheat, and this is
now found 70 be the case.
The barley crop is much heavier than at
one time could be reasonably expected,
but nearly all the best barleys were so
much laid by storms that reports OF dis.
colored and imperfectly ripened samples
are only what were to have been expected.
The oat crop Is better than It promised
to be q month ago. The root crops are
fast maturing. Another fortnight Of fine
weather will make heavy crop Ger
tainty.
The hop crop Is variable. A rapid loss

The temporary steadiness in consequence
Of the falling of OF American shipments,

PARIS, September 6,-Ths resignation by
the Grand Duke Nicholas of the command

smbezzled the regimental funds systematic

with opposition from the Grand Duke,
disclosed his peculations. The Czarewitch
was indignant, and compelled the Grand
Duke Nicholas TO resign. The builders of

10 another Grand Duke for that amount.
The practice Is common in Russia.
