PEOPLE KILLED IN THEIR HOMES
The Island of Mauritius Devastated
by Violent Storm.

LONDON, May 20. = Advices received
here from Mauritius state that a hurri-
cane unprecedented in its violence passed
over that island on April %, causing
enormous damage to shipping. A ma
jority OF the vessels at the island were
blown ashore.
The western half of Port Louis, the
capital, was devastated. Houses were
blown down, gigantic trees were uproot-
ed and that part of the town was about
wiped out Of existence. The loss of life
was appalling. A large number of per-
sons were caught in the falling houses
and crushed to death, while Others lost
their lives by being struck by flying de-
bris while attempting to seek places OF
safety.
The exact number of dead is not known.
Every effort is being made by the author
titles to alleviate the suffering that has
been caused by the disaster.
The Governor has issued orders for
military tents to be distributed to shell
ter the homeless, and food is being issued
to those who have lost everything by the
storm. Half OF the crops OF sugar, rice,
coffee and pepper has been utterly ruined
and the loss In this direction IS extreme
ly heavy.
Mauritius, or, as it is sometimes called,
Isle of France, has always been noted for
its violent and destructive hurricanes,
but this one exceeds in destructiveness
any hitherto known. 1t is not in the
power OF words to describe the scene.
The British steamers Pontakotu and
Umballa went on the reef but were sub
sequently foated with slight damage.
The British bark VIM. Wilson went
ashore, as did the British steamer Oak
lands, the German schooner Pauls, and
the Dutch bark Princess Wilhelmina. All
these were slightly damaged.
The vessels still aground are the British
bark Strathspey, the ships Leander,
Parma, Aconcagua, Queen OF Scots, and
Eurydice, and the British steamers ANA
ranth and Gladiator.

dents of this town and vicinity are greatly
stirred up over the charges brought
against Postmaster William S. Tyler, by
his nephew, Irving Shaler, aged "A years.
Tyler besides being postmaster. is a di-
rector in the Middlesex bank, and prom
inent church member.

property for a number of years. and was
entrusted with large sums of money be-
longing to her. Last fall Mrs. Shaler
went away on a visit and while she was
gone Tyler claimed that check for 81, 900
was missing.
He accused young Shaler of the theft,
he told friend Of the matter and was adj
vised to make a full investigation in order
10 vindicate himself
This Shaler did. with the result that he
learned that some of his mothers securi-

About three weeks ago Shaler notified

tnat his uncle was the highwayman and
that the latter admitted it and returned
to him the $500.
Parties interested say there will be no
prosecution. Shaler says that Tyler wants
