THE WEST INDIA HURRICANE.
tremendous Damage DOne-Hun-
dreds of Liyeo Lost

areas OF Lives Lost.
KINGSTON, JAMAICA. September 23.-
Mail advices which reached here to-day
brought melancholy relief TO the suspense
experienced regarding the full extent of
the hurricane disaster at the Islands Of
st. Vincent. st. Lucia and Barbados
showing that the first accounts were not
exaggerated. At St. Vincent about three
hundred lives have been lost, not count
ing the loss Of life suffered through the
destruction Of shipping. The following
towns or villages were destroyed: Rose
place. Grande Sable. Arnosvale Mount
Pleasant. Argyle. Walilabo. Barrouallio.
Layon, and Buccamont. and The second
city, Georgetown, was considerably dam
aged. No apr oximate estimate of the
pecuniary damage done has been re-
ceived but the island is practically ruined.
st. Lucia suffered mostly from rain and
landslides. the deluge lasting ten hours
The city OF Castries suffered somewhat
chiefly from a tidal wave. which swept
over half the town and wrecked a portion
OF Bay street. Thirteen lives were lost.
The full extent Of the damage has not
been computed but IL Is incomparably
less thar st. Vincents.
The hurricane struck the Island Of Bar
BADGES on the night of the 10th, complete
ly wreckng that fiat, exposed island. and
sweeping away ten thousand houses. while
damaging thousands more. This left
three-quarters of the inhabitants home
less. over one hundred people were kill
ed, as far as known. The total estimated
damage, besides the loss from destruction
of the cane crop and provisions, is about
81, 100000 at Barbados.
