occurred Monday last. and the water
in the crater lake assembled in a stu
pendous cloud of steam and exploded
heavily The noises grew louder con-
tinually till'Wednesday morning. when
the old crater, three miles in circum-
ference, and the new crater formed
by the last eruption, belched smoke
and stones, forcing the residents of
Wallibou and Richmond Valley, be-
meath the volcano, to flee to Chateau
Belair for refuge. The thurderous
noises, which were continually in
creasing, were heard in neighboring
islands 200 miles away.
At midday the craterS elected enOr-
nous columns of steamy vapor, rising
majestically eight miles and expand
ing into wonderful shapes, resembling
enormous caulifiOwers, gigantic wheels
and beautiful flower forms, all streaked
up and down and crosswise with vivid
flashes of lightning, awning the behold
err and impressing the mind with fear.
The mountain labored to rid itself of
a mass of molten lava, which later
flowed over in six streams down the
side of the volcano; and the greater
noises following united in one con-
tinuous roar all evening, through the
night, to Thursday morning, accom-
panied with black rain, falling dust
and favilla ScOria, and attended with
midnight darkness all Wednesday, Gre

On the morning Of Friday there was
a fresh eruption, and elections OF fiery

many places a food and water famine

doctors are overworhed. Among the
deaths are whole families, whose
corpses are, in several places, still
lying unburied. The dead will be in

reach 500 persons.

PROMPT MEASURES FOR RELIEF
Congress Appropriates $2OO,OOO-!Othe
Countries Are Not Idle.


Countries Are Not Idle.
Washington, May 13.-Captain
Yates Stirling, commandment of the ma
val station at San Juan, Porto Rico,
has notified the navy department that
the collier Sterling is being loaded
there with voluntary contributions Of
supplies, and will leave for Martinique
as soon as possible. Secretary Moody
found that the navy had a lot of food
supplies at San Juan, and he directed
Commandant Stirling to have these
put aboard the ship. Secretary Root
also discovered that the army had a
good many provisions stored there, and
authorized these to be loaded on the
Sterling, so it is expected she will soon
be able to sail with q full cargo.
The president himself turned his at
tentiOn yesterday to the extension of
relief to the sufferers from the terrible
catastrophe in the Lesser Antilles. One
of the first things he did was to send
a message to congress urging the i'm
mediate appropriation Of 100000 for
the relief of the sufferers. Congress
responded with an appropriation of
$200,O00 believing that private con-
tributiOns will make it more than
100000 from this country. The presi-
dent also saw the cabinet officers and
| ordered all machinery in motion that
could help the sufferers or expedite
aid
The war department in a short time
had issued official orders for the guild
ance of the three supply departments,
giving the scheme of distribution as
follows: Three medical officers. with
$4,000 worth of medical stores, etc.
one subsistence officer, with $4,000
in stores, consisting of rice, dried fish,
sugar, coffee, tea, canned soups, con-
densed cream, salt pepper and vine
gar; one officer of the quartermaster's
department, with $4,000 worth of
clothing supplies for men, women and
children.
To Consul Ayme, who had sent a
message briefly stating the facts, this
message was sent: 'The president di-
reefs me to express to you his wish
that your department go to the fur
| therest limits of executive discretion
| for the rescue and relief Of the affiict-
! ed islands in the Caribbean

cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
