srri5fe EARTHQUAKE.

KisT. THOMAS, West Indies, May
l.-Full reports were received today
from the Island of st. Christopher,
popularity called st. Kits, of severe
earthquake shocks that were felt
there Thursday. Word also comes
from the adjacent islands of Antigua
and Montserrat that seismic dis
turbances were experienced thei @
from Friday until last Monday The
worst shock was on last Sunday ev.
ening, when many buildings were
thrown down and destroyed
These terrible commissions of ma
ture caused great alarm and special
services were held in all the church
es, at which prayers were offered up
for divine protection.
TERRIBLE DAMAGE DONE.
at Point Pitre, the principle
town and port of Guadalupe, the
shocks were very severe about u
quarter past 10 o'clock on Thursday
morning, They lasted for 40 sec
onds, during which brief space ter
rible amount of damage was done.
Houses aud churches were thrown
down on every side, burying their
unfortunate occupants in the ruins.
Tue shocks were so unexpected
and sudden that the people could do
nothing for several minutes. but
stood waiting to see il there would
be any more.
AT length when they had ventured
to make an investigation it was dis
covered that 40 people had been
killed by falling timber and stones.
Over q hundred houses had been
totally destroyed, and from the
ruins the authorities removed 40
persons who had been seriously, aud
lii many cases. fatally injured.
PUBLIC PLACES CLOSED.
The alarm has been 30 general that
all stores and public officers have
been closed, and although earth
quakes are frequent in these instanc
es it has been years since such Sc
we're one has been felt.
The Governor and his staff attend
ed the funeral of the victims which
presented many sorrowful scenes.
Husbands had lost their wives, wives
lost their husbands and children,
and in some cases whole families
had been swept out of existence.
Prolonged shocks were also felt
in the island of Dominica at tie
same time No damage is reported
from there, and it seems to have
stopped at that point. No reports
have been received yet froms the rest
of the islands around here, and it is
not known whether they have suffer
ed or not.-By Anderson j. Born in
Now York Journal.
The shock was felt here quite dis.
tinctly by n number of our people
on Monday of this week about noon.
Very few realized, however, that it
was an earthquake, and didn't get
scared until they were told what the
trouble was hours afterwards. Every
unusual noise or shaking now, is of
course, an earthquake, and many
people are still excited.

Question Would Then Almost Settle Itself
Possibility of Greco-Turkish War.
Touching upon the question of the
withdrawal of the Greek troops from
the island of Crete Curzon asserted that
this would open the door leading to an
almost immediate and pacific settlement
Of the question. Since the blockade,
Curzon pointed out. many thousands
of helpless and defenseless people have
been protected by the forces of the pow-
ers. and their admirals have done in
estimable work in the relief of the be-
leaguered and the saving Of life. In
the face of explicit warnings, however,
the insurgents had persisted in their
endeavors to starve out the Turkish
garrisons at outlying posts, and OBJ
tanned command of the outposts COM
handing the towns occupied by the
forces of the powers.
They had also tried to cut off the
water supply and had even engaged in
fighting with the European troops. Cur
ION was glad to be able to add that
during the last few days the situation
had become calmer. In the meanwhile
active discussions were proceeding be-
tween the powers relative to the ques-
ton of appointing government for the
| island of Crete and instituting a militia
on the basis of the autonomist const.-
tuition promised.
Curzon then turned to the qestion Of
the possibility Of war between Greece
and Turkey. He insisted that the gov
eminent had strained every nerve to
prevent an outbreak of hostilitiec.
| which he claimed the government could
only regard as calamitous to Greece and
as constituting grave menace to the
l peace of Europe. The government of
her majesty had shown the utmost for
bearance and regard for the suscepti-
bilities of all concerned, and had take,,
