TIE KING WAS ON DECK.
Took Much Interest in Opening
 of Regatta Week.

The Race for Yachts Over Seventy
 nine Feet Was Failure-There
 were Only Three Entries and Two ot
 These Were Scratched, Leaving One,
 the sybarite, to Go Over the Course
 Alone.
 Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug 4.-Regat- ta week opened with every prospect for a record meeting and only tine weather is needed to insure the complete sue cess of the royal yacht squadron's rae, ing. The presence of the king has caused an added interest to be taken in the event. There was much specu' lation as to the performance of the German emperor's Meteor III, which was to hoist her racing flag for the first time in British waters.
 The race for yachts of over seventy nine feet proved disappointment, the Meteor and George Waetken's Navahoe both being scratched. The Sybarite, owned by Myles B. Kennedy of Glas- gow, sailed over the course alone.
 The king was on the deck of the Vic toria and Albert all morning watching the yachts start.
 There are many big steam yachts in the roads, including Eugene Higgins's Varuna

Eye Witness of Mont Pelee Eruption
 Says There Will Be More.
 Fort de France, Martinique July 10. interviewed to-day by representa- tive of the Associated press, J. A. Jaggers, jr, assistant geologist to the United States Geological survey, who has been Investigating volcanic condi- tions in the West Indies, said:
 II have been fortunate in seeing a real eruption before l go, and the eruption of last night, July 9th, seems to have been a very characteristic one. Mont Pelee has impressed me as being much more venomous looking than the Soufriere of St Vincent. The question has been constantly asked me, do you think it is finished now, is not the danger over? l have always answered the mountain at this mo- ment appears calm, and the dust col umns that one sees from time to time are largely due to landslides from the crater into the head of Riviere Blanche The eruption of last night was to be expected. We may expect many more before so hot and vigorous q steam engine as Mont Pelee comes to rest
 "A diagnosis of the real diminution in activity can only be made after the mountain has been watched year and all it's movements recorded. Af- ter watching events here since May 21. do not think single habitation northwest of the line from Bellefon- taine to Vive is safe to live in at pres ent. I do not think at Carbet, Ponds St Denis, Morne Rouge or Basse Pointe are safe at present. Not that there is any immediate danger but I believe that the action of Mont PeIee is too uncertain for us to be assured that future eruption may not occur to windward.
 ssThe greater part of destruction wrought by the Soufriere in St Vim cent was on the windward or eastern side and Mont Pelee is in many re- spects twin sister to the St Vincent volcano. 1 gave the same advice with hesitation at St Vincent, although the Soufriere there was much quieter than is Mont Pelee. I know we'll that causing people to move from all these villages and habitations will produce great inconvenience, but the alternat- i've is risk of human life. When the mountain is entirely cold, and the peo- pie. are protected by properly equip ped experiment. station, with devices to signal danger, they may, with cer- tain restrictions, return to the volcan- ic lands. No city should ever again, however, be built on the northeast end of the island.
 Il do not think that Fort dc Trance is In any danger from the volcano.
 Most of the towns in the West In- dies are equally in danger from tidal waves. No evidence exists of aug violence in the eruptions which would lead to the SUD- position that Krakatoa explosion is coming here. Tn comparison Mont Pe- lee is rather a small volcano. This is all that I can say about danger"

The sentry on the next post also saw a man running In cke dark ness and he. too, fired at the fleeing ngure. The shooting aroused the guard and the bugle call to arms was immediately sounded. The whole regiment was quickly in line and Com- pany H was sent out to investigate. but the mysterious persons had disap- peared. After that the men were not again disturbed.
