 CHARLESTON, S. C., July l6.-A cofi. aict between whites and blacks is reported to be in progress in Barnwell County, South Carolina. Reporters have started for the scene of the rumored trouble, which is not accessible by wire.
 One report says that two negroes were killed by whites and this gave rise to the trouble. Another report had it that the whites were aroused by the killing of two of their number by ne- gross.
 Both reports agree in the statement that three hundred negroes, armed with new rifles. surrounded twenty-five whites. The sheriff with posse of twenty left Barnwell for the scene of the trouble.
 The Graham Guards were ordered out, and responded, taking one hundred rounds of ammunition
 The situation of the place is iolated, and the chances are that the accounts are very much exaggerated.

 PORTLAND, Me-, July 16.-J. H. Ham len & Son, of this oity, have received 6 letter from their representative at St, Pierre, Martinique, dated June 97 and giving later particulars of the great disaster ct Fort La France.
 The fire began about 7:30 a. m., June 22, spread highly before high wind, and by the following morning had rav- aged along the sea shore from the west ern side of the Savannah to the Riviere LeSassor. More than 1,70O buildings were destroyed, and with the exception of very small portion, the antique city of Fort La France is in ruins.
 Many people perished, and twenty five bodies have been recovered,
 The quarters of the thickly populated area of the city is destroyed, and seven etghts of the people, numbering from 6,0O0 to 1000, are homeless.
 The demand made upon the oh arity of those who were spared has reduced them to almost the same state of desti- tuition.
 Money must be had immediately, or the distress at Fort La France will be. come absolute starvation
 t3audaloupe has sent the steamer Alayon laden with food. The Bank of Gepe has remittsd 5000 francs as the first tnstalment of a relief fund from the sister isle.

LAKE PEPIN.s TRAGEDY,
Thirteen More Bodies Found BeEweeI

 the Decks Of the Sea Wing.
 RED WING, Minn., July 18.-All day funeral processions were passing into the City Of tho Dead, and stricken parents brothers and sisters wept over their sleeping friends as they looked out upon cruel Lake Pepin, where ripping waves seemed to be laughing in mockery over the appalling disaster of Sunday evening. The city was draped in mourning, and the constant tolling of the bells added to the solemnity of 8 day which will never be forgotten. Twenty-three residents of Red Wing are still missing, and the anguish of their intimate friends has driven some of them to their beds, The bodies of some of the lost may not be recovered for several days, as they have doubtless fioated down the Missis- .inni.
 The hull of the wrecked Sea Wing was again fully examined to-day. The boat was besched in shallow water by tugs. The craft was literally pulled to pieces by fastening stout cablesto the upper works attached to tugs, which put on a full head of steam and hauled in different directions. Thirteen bod ies were found between decks. The names of all of these were given in the list of SS dead sent y yesterday.
