Grodno arrived in Cracow to hunt up
some old friends, but as soon as the
police officials learned that he was an
exile they arrested and insulted him
and ordered him to move on. He made
his way to England, learned the Ian

q leading nlhilist. For about eight
years he had spent all his time schem~

government, and all the efforts of the

had been futile. Grodno did not tell

Escorted Outside Moro Castle.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May H-The
ceremonies which took place here yesterday
attendant on the transfer Of the govern
ment of the island TO the Cubans brought
thousands OF people from all parts of the
province into Santiago. Mayor Bayardi
gave a banquet to General Whitside and
presented him with a cane and a Cuban
flag. General Whitside reciprocated with
the gift of a beautiful American flag. The
Cuban army paraded through the streets Of
the city. All flags in Santiago were at half
mast in memory of Gen. Jose Maru and
the Cuban soldiers who died in the revolu-
tion. The graves of the dead soldiers were
decorated. In the military procession were
500 mounted veterans, and il is estimated
that many as $4,000 persons witnessed
the parade. Two troops and the band or the
Eighth United States Cavalry also took
part in the procession.
At noon an enormous crowd collected on
the plaza in front of the palace and in the
adjacent streets. On the stroke of u Lieut..
w. j. Whitside lowered the American flag
which flew over the palace. while the band
played The Star-spangled Banner. The
Cuban flag was al once raised in its stead
and at this time the band played the Gu

been raised the American troops marched
down 10 the harbor and embarked on the
Ward-line steamer Seguranca, which
steamed away at l o'clock. Mayor Bayardi

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, May 21--The latest
estimates as 10 loss of life in the Frater-
vile coal mine disaster at Coal Creek is
226. including contract miners, day labOrers
and boy helpers. A total of 141 bodies has
been recovered. The last find reported was
that of thirteen bodies in an entry, and
with these thirteen, all of whom were dead,
were found six letters written by FIVE men
before life became extinct. One OF these
letters gave the time of day it was written
as 2:30 Monday afternoon, thus indicating
that these and perhaps other entom bed

explosion, which occurred Monday morning

Advices from cable stations in the West

islands that divide the Atlantic and the

OF isles will soon be wobbling. At Fort de
France. nine miles from the buried city OF
St. Pierre, there is talk of evacuating the
place. and an exodus of people began on
Tuesday. Mont Pelee quieted down later
and the alarm was temporarily allayed.
The eruption Of Mont Pelee on Tuesday is
described as frightful. Huge red-hot bowl

LA sOUFFRIERE's OUTBREAK.
Details OF the Eruption Last Sunday
Panic I'm Kingstown.


JAMESTOWN, Island of st. Vincent. May
10 delayed in transmission. )-Another great
eruption Of the Souffriere volcano occurred
last night. Throughout Sunday the adjoin-
ing districts trembed, and some of the
shocks were felt here. Smoke issued from
the craters and assures OF the mountain,
and the atmosphere throughout the Island
of st. Vincent was exceedingly hot While
the worshipers were returning from church
at $50 p. m. an alarming luminous cloud
suddenly ascended many miles high in the
north of the island and drifted sluggishly
10 the northeast. Incessant lightning fell
on the mountain, and one severe flash
seemed to strike about three miles from
Kingstown. The rumblings in the crater
lasted for two hours, and then diminished
until they became mere murmurings The
remainder of the night was clear. Ashes
fell from 10 o'clock until midnight. The in
haoitants were frenzied with fear at the
time Of the outbreak, dreading a repetition
OF the catastrophe which caused such terri
bic loss of life on this island. They ran
from the streets into the open country cry
ing and praying for preservation from an
other calamity. No one on the island slept
last night.
Reports received here from the districts
of the volcanoes say that the rumblings
were appalling, and that streams of lava
layers who had fled TO Chateau Belaire and
Georgetown for safety are now pouring
into Kingstown, this being the farthest
point from the Souffriere.
The royal mail steamer Wear is bringing
refugees here from Chateau Belaire Kings
town Is now congested, and the demands on
the government are increasing rapidly, as
more and more people are obliged 10 leave
their homes and business. The continuous
agitation of the volcano and the absence
of rain has caused the vicinity of the af-
fiicted villages 10 look like portions of the
desert of Sahara.
A thick, smoky cloud overspreads the
island, all business is suspended here the
streets are empty, and every one is terror
stricken.
The feeling of suspense is painful The
people pass their time gazing at the north
ern skies, where the thunder clouds gather
and the moUrnful roaring of the volcano is
heard. Ashes and pumice are falling slowly
in the out districts. To-day there is an
alarming report from a credible source that
