FOrt Qe france apparently not IN Danger
St Thomas, May 14.-Despatches just
received state that large quantities of
punice stone have fallen at Guadalupe,
on the Southern shore.
1t is reported that the inhabitants of
Martinique were in state of somi-pa-
mic several days previous to the catas-
trophe and desiring to leave.
The Government however assured
them that there. was no danger and a
Gordon of soldiers prevented their de-
parture. There is no extraordinary
ef1uvia at St. Pierre, the bodies being
buried as rapidly as possible From
the appearance of the bodies it is evi
dent that the deaths were caused more
by sufocation than by fire or lava NJ
danger is apprehended in Fort DE-
France.

Conference Committee Divided
On Question of PlebiScite.
One party favors having it before, the
other after ratification
Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil

St. Thomas May I4th Dispatches
just received from Copenhagen state
that the Conference Committee COM
posed of members of both the Landth-
ing and the Folkething are unable to
come to an agreement in reference to
the ratification of the Treaty for the
sale of the Danish West Indies. They
are divided on the question of whether
or no a plebiscite should be had before
ratification, Reports have reached the
Committee that the people are strongly
in favor of sale but Government officials
have sent cablegrans making contrary
assertions and a deadlock in the com
mittee has resulted. Both parties seem
inclined now to favor a plebiscite; but
one party insists it shall be before rati
fcation and the other that it shall be
had subsequently.
