OVER Sixty LIVES LOST.
Terrible Results the Hurricane that
Visited Mar in que.

The hurricane that swept over Mar
Unique of the West India Islands, caused
greater damage than at FIRST supposed.
So far as can be learned there were
over sixty deaths as the result OF the
hurricanes visitation, but it will be
some time before the full extent Of tho
disaster is known At Fort dc France
alone there were twelve lives lost, and
at both Fort dc France and IT. ierre,
TO say nothing OF the country districts,
there have been large numbers of peop!e
in ured.
Five persons are known to have been
killed in ST Pierre, but it is feared that
this does not represent the entire loss Of
life in the capital.
Communication with the die erent
ports of the island was never an easy
matter, and it is excessive y difficult to
get detailed news at present.
AS the reports from the various sec
tions reach st. Pierre it becomes evident
that the extent of the devastation has
not been mgch eXaggeratedS DestrCc-
tioa of property and l. SIS Of life are re
ported from al parts of the coast
The latest report received here from
Lamentin shows that there are ten dead
in that place alone in addition TO a large
NUMBER OF lnJu ell.
At Francois there were sixteen people
killed and large numbers injured, and at
Riviere Pilote there were two or more
deaths, and so on from all parts of the
island comes the tale of woe and desola-
ton. La Trinite sends in the list Of its
dead at ten and numbers Of more or less
severely injured. The DAMAGE done to
shipping and property may safely be
classed as stupendous About Two fifths
OF the island was under cultivation and
the mountain slopes were covered with
forests. All the cultivation and all the
forests in the path of the hurricane ap.
pear to have been swept away. The
numerous sugar, coffee, cotton, and CO.
Gao D antations which felt the force Of
the tornado seem to have been destroyed.
The number Of ships wrecked in the
several harbors of the island is at least
twenty.

A CRISIS IMMINEN 7
IN DICTATOR ALMACEDA'S
AFFAIRS.

The Insurgents Prepared 10 Give becisiNo
Battle -Terribis Results OF the Hur-
ricane in the wess Indies Over xty
Lives and I wenty Vessels Lost.
A dispatch from Valparaiso, Chill,
says: The insurgcut army has effected
landing at Cuintero Bay, only twenty
miles north Ct this city. According to
the lowest estimate il numbers 10000
men. They were brought down from
Caldera on eight transports, three tugs
and four warships. The ro,nt OF land
ing IS about fifty miles from Santiago,
where Balmacoda's forces TO the number
of l0,O0J have been stationed. Quintero
Bay is the entr nee to fertile va ley
and is in direct line with Santiago and
Valparaio The Balmacedists have for
some time anticipated u movement south
on the part Of their foes, but they be-
lleved that Coquimbo would be the first
place attacked.
1t now appears that the lowering OF
the insurgent feet in the neighbornood
of Co jumbo Bay was only q scheme TO
deceive Balmaceda. by coming 30 far
south the insurgents leave the largo
force of Palma edists at Coquimbo many
miles TO the north OF them and helpless
10 render any aid to the Government
army I'm this neighborhood. I he landing
at Quintero Bay was therefore a com
plete surprise TO the PRESIDENT, but as
soon as he learned the news he acted
prompt Y. BY his command a large
force was sent north 81 meet the enemy.
Admiral Brown, from his flagship, the
San Francisco, saw the landing Of the
insurgents They are all well armed
and enthusiastic. The United States
warship Baltimore is in this harbor. The
Esmeralda commanded By Silva Palma,
is Just outside the harbor. 1t is eXpe ted
that it will be joined at once by the
other insurgent war vessels from Quin-
tero Bay.
1t looks as if, in conjunction with the
advance of the land forces upon this
city, the fleet will oren fire upon the
forts that defend this harbor. Valparaiso
Bay is st ongly fortified. The forts
mount thirty guns, among which are a
ten-inch muZZle loader, eleven eigh'-
inch and nine-inch breech leaders, AID
five Krupp guns Of "a centimeters cali
ber The remainder are 500-pounders.
Most of these guns are masked AID offer
small target for hips to fire at. The
gunners are all skilled men, who have a
great deal Of practice They know the
distances across the bay, as they have
range finder.
The insurgent feet has altogether
some nineteen guns, including 10-inch,
s-inch, and 6-inch breech-loaderS. Tn
less some Of the government gunners
turn traitors it does not seem likely that
the fleet can silence the forts So far it
is quiet here. 1t looks as If the most
important engagement so far in the his
tory of the present war Is about to be
fought. Until the present time it has
been nearly altogether a battle of words
Now fierce fight is imminent.
On It's result depend in all likelihood
the complete overthrow Of Balmaceda or
of his opponents. The rout Of the
Presidents forces would undoubtedly be
quickly 70 lowed by the capture of both
Valparaiso and Santiago by the victor
ious army Of the insurgents.

THAT CAUTIOUS FEELING

r. G. Dun & Co. : weekly review OF trade
says:
During the past week attention has been

nearly all branches, based On actuaPin
crease of demand from farming States.
The general feeling Is cautious and con-

there seen II disposition to venture upon
large speculative purchases. Yet the vol

is all that could be desired.
