TOPOGRAPHY MUCH CHANGED
EFFECT OF THE LAST FIR RUPTIONS
 OF SOUFRIERE.

Mountain Considerably Lower Than
 Before September 3-Appearance O1
 summit Changed New Ridges and VaIIeys-The Rubacca River a Stream
 of Fire n Quarter of a Milo Wide.
 Kingstown, Island of St. Vincent, Sat urday, Sept. 6.-The sights in the Wind ward district of this island, resulting from the eruption of the Soufriere vol- cano September 3, are very interesting. The Rabacca river even now is a stream of fire a quarter of mile or more wide. The greater part of the Rabacca estate is wrapped in vapor and there are mimic eruptions everywhere. The river bed is continuously throwing up columns and dense clouds of steam, mud and pebbles. The land has spread farther seaward and is changing con- siderably the appearance of the district from what it was prior to September 3. This was probably caused by the ejecta that flowed down the slopes, filling the sea about the coast
 Fifty laborers, deceived by the appar- ent quietude of the volcano, were work ing within the fire zone Wednesday, at the extreme north of the island, when they suddenly saw evidence of an ap- preaching disturbance of the mountain, but were unable to leave the spot before electric flashes and an outpour of gases drove them to their shelter, where they remained, at the base of the mountain, throughout the terrible night, while forked lightning darted in all directions around them. The men miraculously escaped unhurt and arrived at Kings town yesterday. The port officer of Chateau Belair, who saw the Soufriere from the sea yesterday, made the fol- lowing report:
 "The mountain is considerably lower than before September and the ap- pearance of the summit has changed. A large proportion has evidently been blown off and the hill has a much more jagged contour. The neighborhood is altered. New ridges valleys and a strange ravine have been cut in the west side of the volcano down to what was formerly the Carib settlement of Haracai, where liquid matter was seen flowing during the afternoon of Sep tember 3. The northwestern estates, Petil Bordelle and Sharpes, are covered with from ten to twenty inches of grit ty substance. The crops of arrow root and cocoa are ruined"
 During the night of September there was terrific storm, accompanied by hlinding lightning and terrible peals of thunder and q moaning sound from the agitated crater.

The second and later dispatch corrected the statement as to the crew, saying that they had escaped. The minister promised to make an ex- tended report by mail.
 The navy department also was in- formed of the event in the following dispatch received from Commander Mo Lean in command of the United States cruiser Cincinnati:
 "Port-au-Prince, Sept. 8. Secretary Navy, Washington:

since October Is. keeping the people in the
Windward district in q state Of continued
unrest.
Evidence gathered In the district proves
that the eastern crater was chiefly operative
during the last eruption. The devastated
lands now include all the plantations on the

estate, on which the re-establishment OF
cultivation will be hopeless for years, even
should La Soufriere soon become quiescent
A deputation Of distressed inhabitants
has waited upon the administrator Of the
island for the purpose Of informing the gov
eminent Of the hopeless condition Of the
district in consequence OF the last erup-
tion Of the volcano. They appealed for food
and shelter, especially for their terrified
wives and children, and begged to be re-
moved from the northern quarter OF the
island to form a new settlement in another
locality where they could safely and con-
veniently start life afresh.
The administrator expressed his hearty
sympathy for the sufferers and promised to
communicate the facts to his chief, to-
gether with certain suggestions. He said
he hoped the government would soon be
able to relieve the victims Of the volcanic
disturbances
