THREE HUNDRED DEAD.
Kissstsa, tAs Capital s g. vincent, In tAs west
fadiss Totally DESTROYED By cyeisns.

A boat from the island OF st. Vincent,
100 miles west OF Barbados, arrived at
the island of Grenada and reports that
st. Vincent has experienced the most
violent and destructive cyclone ever
known there.
Kingston. the capital of st. Vincent,
is totally destroyed. II Is estimated
that 300 lives have been lost in that is-
land and that 10000 people are home-
less. The bodies of the dead are being
buried In trenches. Thousands are
starving or being fed at the public ex-
pense.
The amount OF property destroyed In
st. Vincent cannot yet be estimated.
Every small house is down and many
large ones have been destroyed. The
demolished buildings include churches,
stores and almost all the state build
inps. Three large ships are ashore on
the windward coast and many smaller
vessels are stranded.
Guadaloupe. the French island in the
Leeward group. has experienced very
heavy weather. Nineteen deaths are re-
ported, and there have been destruc-
tive landslldes.
According to the latest reports from
81. Lucia the storm which broke upon
the Island of st. Vincent Sunday night
developed almost unprecedented vio-
ence, being accompanied by tidal
wave and tremendous rains. Numer-
Gus landslides were caused. and many
houses. bridges and cocoa estates have
been destroyed.
People are hocking into Kingston
st. Vincent, from all the country round
for shelter and food. Everywhere II
appears that all the small buildings
and many large ones were destroyed
and there Is no doubt that the fatal
tiles were numerous.
A st. Vincent. British West Indies
cablegram says: The official reports
reduce the number of deaths here dur
ing the hurricane. It was at first es-
timated that 800 lives were lost. but II
is now believed the number is consider
ably smaller. The exact figures are
not obtainable. The ship Loanda and
the bark Grace Lynwood were east
ashore here and wrecked.
The British ship Loanda, Of 1.AI
tons, Captain Dodge, was from Rio
Janeiro. and the American bark Grace
Lynwood, of 592 tons. Captain Gilley
was from New York for Port Spain.
A Kingston. Jamaica. cablegram
says: The Governor OF st. Vincent
has cabled to the Governor OF Jamaica
implorlng the latter to send prompt
assistance to the sufferers.
The destruction at Barbados was
equal to that at st. Vincent. Barbados
presenting practically a fiat surface
was completely swept by the vortex OF
the cyclone. The entire area of culti-
walton was obliterated and a majority
of buildings destroyed. Two-thirds of
the dense population OF 100 to the
square mile were rendered homeless
The distress is unparalleled in the
history of the West Indies. outside

ANARCHISTS FRIGHTENED.
Europe Determined to Eztermirsts the Band Of
Asssssins

The powers of Europe are getting
together to suppress anarchism more
readily than they are to promote the
cars plan for peace. A suspected an
archist conspirator will probably, when
caught; be imprisoned for life as one
criminally insane. Evidence as ordi-
narily understood will not be neces-
sary. Such Is the panic in ruling circles
that to punish one guilty man will be
thought worth the cost of injustice to
nine who are innocent. AS the nations
crushed piracy and the slave trade so
they hope to crush the new social enc
mics. In a few days, II is said, Germany
will formally propose the life imprison-
nient plan to the powers. Cooperation
of England and the United States IL
regarded as necessary, as anarchists
have heretofore found asylum under
their liberal laws. A general exodus of
the red brotherhood to the United
States Is sure to come, and has probab-

poor workingmen could have a clean place,
and. in fact, a good home, where they
could be cared for at a very nominal cost.
