The CAMPAIGN OF TORTURE.

Senator Rawlns. of Utah. is per
forming no ordinary public service in
enlightening the people of the United
States regarding the American inquisi-
tion in the Philippines. The Utah Sen
ator devoted the main portion of his
speech on the Philippine government
bill in the Senate yesterday to an eX-
position of the now famous, or rather
infamous water cure, a new method
of torture which seems to have become
one of the recognized ramitications of
the benevolent assimilation of the Fill
pinoS. While this mode of torture is
more brutal than. and entirely different
from the 'sweatbox' or third de-
gree proceedings of certain police
systems. which even in their compare
tive harmlessness have provoked cry
of horror in this country, it Is never
theless effective IN extracting "confes-
sons."
According to the testimony of soldiers
before the Senate committee, who say
they were witnesses, the subject

Sometimes an adamant nature will sue

of benovelence are not yet at an end.
The syringe in the next stage is direct

ter 1t seems that this will dislodge a
confession no matter how remotely
hidden 1t might be.
All this by the army of a nation
whose boasted loItiness of purpose at
one time held the world in silen. ad-
mlratlon. All this Is tolerated by peo-
pie who effect to be appalled, when

moves from its community a negro

What crime has the Filipino commit
ted in refusing to disclose the motives
for resisting alien aggression? Is the
water cure" one of the symbols of the
superiority of the civilized" over the
semi barbarous? II it is, then the half
civilized people of the Philippines
seem justified in preferring to remain
in that benighted state which teaches
them less of the gIories of superior
moral and mental development

we're unable to see living person on
the shore. They could not make their

docks they saw heaps of dead. They

the harbor to Point-a.Pitre, Island Of
Guadalupe, and there the officers
expressed as their opinion that there
was not man, woman or child left alive
in st. Pierre
The villages along the shore to the
north of St. Pierre, as well as the
hamlets that were on the slopes of the
volcano, must also have been destroyed.
Fort of France escaped, though it is
only IL miles from St. Pierre. The
Suchet reports that all boats available
at the fort have gone to St. Pierre to do
ANYTHING that can be done. There is
even possibility that the destruction is
not confined to Martinique. St. Vincent,
Barbadoes, Grenada and Trinidad are
cut off from communication by the
breaking of the cables. 1t is known
that the volcano on St. Vincent is in
fierce operation, for one ship has come
in that was driven from the harbor by
the falling lava and sand of the volcano,

as complete as was that of Pompeii and

happened on shore after that. This was
on Wednesday afternoon. Next morn
ing, Thursday. the Ocean Traveller was
abreast of St. Pierre, Martinique.
Pelee was smoking. The schooner was
about mile off shore when, just before
eight bells, the whole top OF the noun
tain seemed to blow off. The explosion
was like that of an enormous bomb. A
great mass of flame flew out from the
high summit and settled down on the
surrounding land. The air was full OF
falling fire. The town of St. Pierre and
the shipping in the harbor seemed to
burst into flames.
The crew OF the Ocean Traveller said
the cable steamer Grappler, of the West
India & Panama Company, which was
working off the Guerin factory, blazed
up. They say there were probly twenty
vessels in the harbor and all seemed to
be lost.
The cloud of fire that settled over St
Pierre hid the town so they could not
mark the full extent of the destruction.
They thought the whole northern end OF
Martinique had been blown up.

lieve there is living thing on that part

lieve there Is living thing on that part
of the island today.
The cable company, by the use of the
marvellous testing apparatus at their
command, determined yesterday that
the cable was broken about. fifteen miles
north and fifteen miles south of the
island of Martinique. This means that
there has been disturbance on the ocean
bottom embracing at least seventy-five
miles wide. There may have been great
disasters at sea because of this upheaval
of the bottom of the ocean, for one of
the ships that has arrived in port reports
currents that spun her around like Il top,
and also tells Of sailing through wleckage-
to the north of Martinique.
Forty Thousand Dead.
The latest estimate of the loss of life is
10000. This includes entire island.
The inhabitants OF the various islands
where the volcanoes are in operation are
fleeing to other points, and one steamer
reported all the refugees on board it can
carry.
While the pail of fire and smoke hangs
over the vicinity of the appalling con-
WILSON'S of nature, it is impossible to tell
what changes have occurred in the con-
fignration of the country. There was a
lake high up on Pelee, of cold water.
This has undoubtedly gone up in steam
or been poured boiling on the doomed
city.
Calamity Grows Worse.
Every report that comes from the
stricken island makes the calamity worse
than before. Ships laden with emer-
gency supplies have gone to St. Pierre,
but it is not known if they will find any
body to succor.
St. Thomas, d. w. l., May 10.-The
eruption at Mount Pelee was witnessed
by the crew of the British schooner Ocean
Traveller, of St. John, N. B., which ar
rived at Dominica at 3 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon from St. Vincent. She was
driven out of St. Vincent harbor by
shower of hot sand from the volcano La

TRIED TO KILL EMANUEL.
King Of Italy Said to Have Had Narrow Escape
From His Fathers Fate.

Rome, Notwithstanding to letter re-
ceivedherefrom Turin, King Victor Eman-
uel had an exceptionally narrow escape
from assassination Thursday afternoon.
1t has been the kings custom for some
time to walk, unattended with the ex-
ception of single officer, through the
streets and public parks. While passing
an ornamental hedge man CARRIED as a
workman sprang from concealment and
rushed upon the king, attempting as he
did 80 to stab him. The king lodged
the first blow and before it could be re-
peated the officer seized the would-be
assassin and threw him to the ground.
The letter says the assassin subsequently
escaped.

the whole top OF the mountain was
blown off at a single blast. This accounts
for the statement cabled from the men
who were brought in by the French
cruiser that the destruction of st. Pierre
was the work of three minutes.
The jagged crest of Pelee vanished in
great cloud of flame, and came down
in powder and boulders and molten lava
on the country around. The shock Of
the explosion rocked the sea, and in a
moment the whole coast seemed to burst
into flame.
Pelee towers 1850 feet high and its
summit is hardly four miles from the
coast. 1t is the Hottest peak in that
part of the world, and dominates the
whole land and seascape. The people OF
St. Pierre lived in its very shadow, and
when the disrupted summit and the
after volleys of fire came, they fell fnll
upon it.
Among the supposed victims are the
United States consul and his family.
Other Horrors Feared
There is no certainty that the worst OF
the stupendous disaster has yet occurred.
The terrible volcano is still belching
forth ashes and lava, and Mount Sout-
riers, on St. Vincent, is in active erup
ton.
The British royal steamer Esk, which
arrived at St. Lucia yesterday, passed St..
Pierre late Thursday night. She went
by five miles at sea. but her decks were
covered with ashes that fell 30 thickly
as to make fog in the atmosphere.
A boat sent as near inshore as those in

New York, May 10.-One of the
greatest and ghastliest of modern catas-
trophies occurred on the morning Of
Thursday, May 8, when the city Of St.
Pierre, the capital of the French colony
of Martinique, and the largest city in
the French West Indies, was over
whelmed by an eruption of the volcano
of Pelee, and as far as can be judged
from present advices, the entire popula.
ton of the city, some $4,000. were
burned to death or buried alive in the
lava that was sent from the crater.
Eighteen ships that were at anchor in
the harbor, including four steamers,
among them the Quebec Steamship
Company's steamer Roraima, and the
cable repair steamship Grappler, were
destroyed with all on board.
The British steamer Roddam rode out
the storm of fire aud finally reached st.
Lucia. Everyone OF her officers except
the captain is either dead or dying, and
the captain is in st. Lucia hospital,
seriously burned. Hardly enough of the
crew escaped to work the vessel. She
was in the thick of shower of molten
rock that set fire to her in hundreds of
places and struck down everybody that
remained on deck. The supercargo and
10 of the crew, certain that the ship was
doomed, jumped overheard to drown
rather than burn and were lost in the
harbor at St. Pierre.

The French cruiser Suchet was off the

from the blazing shipping in the harbor.

again possible within few days. The
spans will be replaced ultin ately with a
