The Port Of Martinique Swept BY a
Cyclone.
More Than Twenty Vessels Driven
on the Shore.
Tho Full Extent OF the Calamity
Not Vet known.
IRY AsaooIArEp RHEsa. ]

PARIS, Aug. 20.-only the most meagre de-
tails have been received in this city from
Martinique.
The frst information was TO the effect that
every vessel In the harbor OF Port de France,
on the southwest side OF Martinique, had
been lost, and that the houses at Fort do
France aud at 81. Pierre had been damaged
by the hurricane, two lives being reported
lost.
The only additional information received
here Is that the number OF vessels lost is over
twenty, and that this number includes the
Bienraiteur and Ned White.
The BienIalteur IL o French bark, Capt
Calnier, 2s7 tons She left Rio Janeiro on
June l3 for Martinique.
The Ned White Is an American brig, Capt.
Elwell, 525 tons She left Havana on June
% for 81. Pierre.
PARIS, Aug. 2Q.-Another despatch has been
received here confirming the report that all
the vessels at Martinique were lost during
the terrible hurricane there.
To judge from the short and exceedingly
unsatisfactory dispatches the hurricane
must have been Of terrific force, for Of all the
shipping there II IL reported that not single
vessel was able to ride out the gale, and
every one OF them was driven ashore.
II Is believed that large number OF these
vessels are so badly damaged or lie in such
bad positions that they win be surrendered
& the underwriters.
The calamity Is the most severe which has
visited Martinique since the year 1sl7. It Is
said TO equal the famous cyclone which swept
over the Island Of Antigua, IN 1871.

nearly II not quite sixty deaths as result Of
the hurricanes visitation, but II win be
some time before the full extent OF the dis
aster is known.
At Fort de France alone there have been
twelve lives lost, and in both Fort de France
and st. Pierre, to say nothing OF the country
districts, there have been large numbers Of
people injured.
At st. Pierre Ave persons are known to have
been killed.
According to this latest despatch the fol-
lowing French vessels are among the wrecks

ir. Beattie's once, and he doesn't do his busi-

Mr.. Beattie's once, and he doesn't do his busi-
ness here"
1t was learned elsewhere that inquirers at
01 Chambers street were told that MIR. Beattie
spends all his time between the stables and
the dumping docks, which accounted for his
continual absence from his ONCE.
"They were stunning you," replied a stable
man. "What the diggins would he be doing
here. There is nothing for him to look after.
The horses can be cleaned, fed and cared for
without him, and the carts are sent out and
dumped under the supervision OF the foreman.
You might wait a week or month here and
never see Mr.. Beattie. It's only once In o
great while he drops in on u.s."
Commissioner Beattie lives at New Rochelle
for the Summer, and thither he had no doubt
gone on Monday, so the reporter gave up the
search that day.
on Tuesday the reporter called at the
Chambers street office at o o'clock Mr.. Beat
tie was not and would not be there all day,
his private secretary, Miss Westover, said
that he would test new sweeping machine
that day somewhere on Broadway, but the
test was not made until yesterday.
on Tuesday Mr.. Beatte was neither at the
once nor at the stables. The reporter called
at each OF these places twice, and each time
was told that Mr.. Beattie had not put In ap-
pearance.
Yesterday afternoon reporter found Mr..
Beattie at Seventeenth street and Avenue G.
| He stood calmly watching the operation OF a
newly patented street-cleaning machine,
which he had consented to examine, and his
| general makeup was altogether picturesque.
| He was dressed In light brown suit and nan
| mel shirt, which was surmounted by light
| brown straw hat. His feet were encased In a
| pair OF immaculate russell leather shoes,
| which were the admiration of gang OF ash
| cart drivers, who eyed him cur1ously from q
corner OF the big stahlo.
Between the encircling wreaths OF O cigar,
from which he seemed to derive huge enjoy
ment, he spoke to one OF his subordlnates con-
| cerning the machine on exhibition before
him, and then he turned to receive the re-
| porter.
| In low tone he told THE EVENING WORLD
I man that he had read the articles In THR
| EVENING WORLD showing the filthy condition
| OF the streets OF the east side OF the city:
| "Have you anything to say In refutation ol
| the articles Z" the reporter asked.
Nothing" he replied In the same almost
| inaudible tone.
Have you done anything towards remedy
| ing that state Of affairs, or do you propose
| taking any action in the matterW
| The reporter, by craning his neck was en-,
| abled to hear Mr.. .Beattie utter the word mo.
| Then the Commissioner Of Street Cleaning
| followed up his utterance by saying, ~ oe>

In its investigation OF the street cleaning OF
this city one thing THE EVENING WORLD has
failed to discover, and that is exactly what
Commissioner Beattie actually does. Report
ers sent to interview him have occupied days
in discovering his whereabouts The first re-
porter started out to fnd him on Wednesday
Aug 12. On that day the Commissioner did not
make an appearance at his office, and visitors
and callers were informed that he had gone
down the bay In one of the Department tugs
to inspect the dumping grounds of the scowF
ave miles out from Rockaway Beach.

Further inquiry developed the interesting
information that the Commissioner never
took these little ocean trips without proytd-
Ing an ample supply of luncheon, both solid
and liquid. on this particular occasion 1t was
said that case OF q Pommery Sec" was smug-
gled aboard the tug in gray dawn, and that
Mr.. Beattie and his friends had no reason TO
put into port again until after nightfalL
ON the following day the Commissioners
ofice was vacant. 1t was reported that he
had visited the stables at Seventeenth street
and Avenue In the afternoon, but he was not
at those stables when reporter OF THE
EVENING WORLD reached there.
The foreman said that Mr.. Beatt1e had
looked In early in Lne afternoon.
." lie comes around every day. said the
foreman, and sometimes twice day, TO see
how things are going. Oh, yes, the oommis-
sloner is very busy man. People have no
idea how hard he works"
There were good many callers ut the
orlce of the STRENGTHENING Department on
Aug. IA. Several OF them wanted to see the
Commissioner on important business, but his
Secretary, Miss WestoYer, did not know
where no was, unless he was inspecting some
of the stables uptown. She thought he would
b. in some time In the afternoon.
Asa matter Of fact, Commissioner Beattie
did drop in for an hour or so after luncheon,
but he was OF again before any one could
catch him, bound for the west-side stables 1t
was said. No one ever thinks Of pursuing
Mr., Beattie into these remote sections OF the
town, and when he leaves word that he is go
ing to the stables he is perfectly secure
against any invasion OF his privacy
The Commissioner did come downtown on
the morning of Aug. 10, but he immediately
retired to his private ONCE and was alb
solutely invisible for the remainder Of the
forenoon. AS 1t was a legal half holiday he
took advantage OF that fact TO execute the dis
solving-view act about l1.46. The prevailing
Impression IN the ofice was that hs had gone
uptown.
