The Soufricre volcano, on the Island Of st.
Vincent, is still in destructive eruption.
terrific cannonade can be heard 100 miles
away. The reports are followed by columns
of smoke, rising miles in the air. Immense
balls of eolored fire also issue from the
crater. Lightning is playing fiercely in the
upper sky, and the whole northern part of
the island is one mass of travelling flame.
1t is impossible to reach the burning dis,
triet by land or sen, and there are no means
of estimating the destruction wrought to
life and property, Kingstown, the capital
OF st Vincent, is still safe, though showers
of ashes and pebbles are continually falling
on the town.
The correspondent of The Associated Press
here has visited st. Pierre, Martinique,
by the relieving steamer Kenneth. The
destruction there is appalling. The streets
are two feet deep in ashes and cinders,
which cover thousands of dead bodies,
been plunged into boiling pitch. Many of
the dead were not touched by the volcanic
fire, and some of the houses and woodwork
destroyed show no signs of burning.
At Moudlage, in the southwestern portion
of ST. Pierre, the Town Hall is still stand
ing MS high az the first story, while ut the
fort i'll the northwestern portion of st.
Pierre, thu most massive etonework is cal
cined. The church tower, built by the
,Iesuits two centuries ago of cyalopean
masonwork is now like huge heap OF old
metal.
Soldiers are guarding property from
proving ghouls, who are robbing the dead.
The thieves meet with severe punishment
when caught
Many drowning casualties are reported.
Assistance is constantly arriving at Fort
dc France from all the neighboring islands,
II has Just been officially reported that
there were LOCO dead up to yesterday at
