TAKING AWAY REFUGEES.
Several Thousand Persons Rescued
From Martinique.

st. Thomas, D. W. l., May 1.-THE
Danish cruiser Valkyrien has taken on
board 500 refugees from the north and
northeast coasts of the Island of Mar
Unique.
The French cruiser Suchet has res
cued 1000 persons from Martinique
and the French cable repair steamer
Pouyer Quertier has saved numbers
Of the sufferers from the volcanic out
break there.
All the rescued persons have been
taken to Fort de France. Martinique.
The stencil from the unburied
corpses at ST. Pierre is still almost in
tolerable, according to the advices re-
ceived, and the desolation is inde-
scribable.
The work of succoring the refugees
continues incessantly.
When the cable repair ship Pouyer
Quertier, Captain Thirion, started on
through clouds of burning cinders at
the risk Of catching fire, in order to
reach the terror stricken people
ashore. But, as already announced,
she succeeded in bringing to this port
456 people, mainly former residents OF
the village of LIE Precheur. This was
on Saturday last. Since then the
steamer, as the result Of other daring
trips, has succeeded in bringing many
other persons to Fort de France. On
Sunday she rescued 923 persons, and
piloted the French cruiser Suchet and
the Danish cruiser Valkyrien, who
took On board 1900 persons.
The Pouyer Quertier has distributed
to the sufferers large quantities of bis
cults, milk, wine and cheese.

Relief Measures. f r-

Relief Measures. -
London, May 14.-The munificent ap-
preparation of the United States con-
gress for the relief of SAe sufferers by
the Martinique disastN; President
Roosevelt's. message recommending a
vote of half a million dollars for that
purpose; the action of the United
States government in dispatching wa
vessels and food supplies to Marti-
nique, ETC., were drawn attention to il
the house of commons by John Dillon,
Irish Nationalist, who asked the gov
ernment leader, A. J. Balfour, whether.
in view of the action of the United
States and the fact that British col
ony suffered so greatly, Great Britain
intended to adopt similar relief meas
ures.
He was sure that vote in this con-
nection would be carried unanimously.
Mr.. Balfour's reply was not calcu-
lated to satisfy public opinion. He
said the matter had been under the
consideration of the cabinet, but he
had no statement to make. Mr.. Bal
four had never heard of vote of such
character being suggested in parlia+
ment. Of course, everybody felt the
extraordinary gravity of the situation
and the tremendous suffering caused
by the appalling calamity. Every as
sistance that could be given locally by
the government would be given.
MI. Dillon gave notice that he would
recur to the subject again. His sug-
gestion was warmly approved by the
house.

FEARFUL EXPLOSION.
Thirty Quarry Employees Saved by
Young Woman's Warning.

Norristown, Pa, May 14.-The pres
ence of mind of Miss Katie Henderson
saved 80 men employed in the quarries
at West Conshohocken from death or
injury. Miss Henderson resides a
short distance from the quarry and as
she looked from window she saw the
roof of the powder magazine was blaz-
ing. The men at work in the quarry
were not aware of their danger until
she ran to the quarry and warned
them, not second too soon. While
the men and Miss Henderson were
fleeing for their lives there was a ter
rible explosion. The air was filled
with splinters, stones and dirt which
showered upon their heads.
In the magazine which exploded
there We're 80 kegs of powder and 800
pounds of dynamite. Nothing but
hole in the ground marks the place
where the powderhouSe stood

RUSHING RELIEF WORK.
Government Officials viii Soon Have
Supplies on the way.

Supplies on the WAY.
Washington, May 14.-So connpre-
hensiveiy laid were the plans of the
war department, even before the pas
sage OF the joint, resolution providing
for the relief of the volcano sufferers,
that there was really very little re-
naming for the officials to do.
The plans of the commissary de.
partment, made after careful consid-
Grafton of the news dispatches from
the Antilles, contemplate the supply
OF 10000 ratiCns for IA days. The
Quartermasters department is purchas-
ing clothing supplies for 10000 peo-
pie and the medical department is
working in proportion in it's pur-
chases. 4.
In the navy department the care
fully planned relief measures were be-
ing carried forward systematically and
rapidly. The Buffalo has been ordered
to be put in readiness for imm ediate
use as food and supply transport il
case it should be decided to send more
supplies than the Dixie will carry. Ac-
tion has not yet been taken upon A6-
miral Bradford's suggestion that water
tenders be sent to Martinique to re-
lievc the pressing need forfresh water.
The admiral is anticipating the ac-
ceptance Of the plan and has accord
ingly telegraphed to Pensacola and
Norfolk to have the tenders at those
places made ready for immediate
service. The admiral also has ter.
dered the use of his coal navy as food
and passenger transports. The equip
ment bureau, of which he is the head
has a small but excellent fleet of large
colliers and the admiral has suggested
to Secretary Moody that these ships
are, by virtue of their great carrying
capacity, excellently adapted to relief
work. Each of the ships carries from
| two to three thousand tons of supplies
There are no lack of indications Of
spontaneous offerings from all parts
of the country.

u'ar NQth the troops.
Washington, May 14-George G..
Boardman, formerly of the Twentieth
infantry, continued his testimony be-
fore the senate Philippine committee.
He said that the natives in Batangas,
where he was stationed, became very
bad and threatening after the Balangi-
ga massacre, and intimated that the
troops would be served likewise. It
needed an order such as General Smith
gave to make the natives realize that
the United States meant business. H.
said the men in the Philippines knew
that war was help and the "boys
were going to give the Filipinos hell'
while it lasted. He said the troops
grew morose and dissatisfied in the
Philippines. They were not given
proper food and he exhibited two cans
OF food which he received which he
said was unfit to eat. He said the
soldiers did not like Governor Taft
but did like General Chaffee.
After the committee adjourned sev.
eral Of the members determined to
sample the canned salmon and con-
densed food submitted by the witness
with the view to ascertaining whether
it is good or bad.

DANGER OF STARVATION.
Food Now the Great Necessity of the
Martinique Refugees.

Fort de France, May 14.-This city
is already filled with thousands of
refugees from the north end of the
island and more are constantly COM
ing in.
The terror has now taken a new
form. There is imminent danger of
starvation before help can reach here.
The victims Of the awful disaster
who have escaped with their lives and
even without injury are dazed and
helpless as children. They are ahso-
lutely destitute of everything save
the few garments on their backs.
The food supply is SO small that
with the utmost caution it cannot last
long among those who are here al
ready, to say nothing of those who
are still to come.
All the district for miles around St.
Pierre is a desolate waste. Even the
whole appearance OF the country has
been transformed. Where there were
hills there are now deep crevaSses,
and whre there were cultivated val
leys there are hills. It is not believed
that there are any persons left alive
in the northern part of the island.
Those who have not perished have fed
either to this place or elsewhere along
the south coast. How many were lost
IN endeavors to escape in small boats
to other islands will never be known.
Washington, May 1.-THE following
has been issued from the White House
during the afternoon:
The president has appointed COM
mlttee to receive funds for the relief
OF the sufferers from the recent catas-
trophies in Martinique and st. Vim
cent. The gentlemen appointed from
each city are asked to collect and re,
ceive the funds from their localities
and neighborhoods as expeditionsly as
possible and forward them to Hon
Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the
New York committee, which commit
tee will act as central distributing
point for the country. The president
directs all the postmasters through
out the country and requests the pres.
ldents OF all the national banks to act
as agents for the collection of contri
buttons and to forward the same at
once to Mr.. Bliss at New York. The
postmasters are also directed to report.
to the postmaster general within IL
days any funds collected on this &C
count. 81;
The president appeals to the public
to contribute generously for the relie.
of those upon whom this appalling
calamity has fallen. and asks that the
contributions be sent in as speedily ass
possible. Z

WOULD Benefit GROWERS.
Cuban Sugar Man Discusses Reduction
" of DUTY.


Washington, May 14.-Hugh Kelly
OF New York, extensively interested in
Cuban sugar growing, was before the
senate committee on relations with
Cuba. He asserted that the sugar
growers would be the benefciaries of
any reduction of duty that would be
made by the United States He said
the refiners made the price and the
sugar mill owners would not be the
beneficiaries of any reduction except
where they owned the land. He show
ed that many Americans owned sugar
lands in Cuba but declared that few
options We're now accepted by Cubans
because they wanted to make sales
outright if at all. He said sugar grow
ing had not been profitable of late
years because of the low price of the
product and the high price of labor,
working men receiving a dollar day
gold. He discussed at some length
the possibilities OF sugar production
in China -.. ~ s.. =.-.. .'..

ther fighting occurred in the streets
here before and after midnight Some
of the leaders of the revolution have
retired to the United States legation.
The situation is very serious. The
whole population is armed and insists
on the immediate departure from the
country of Former President Sam.
Clashes between the partisans of the
numerous presidential candidates con-
tinued most of the afternoon. The
followers of General Saint Folk Colin,
attacked the adherents of General
Defy, the military commander here.
The firing was severe for about an
hour, but SO far as known very few
were killed or wounded. General Defy
was compelled to eyacuate the Hotel
de la Place and retreated to the pal
ace, where he barricaded himself and
his followers, having previously Sc.
cured a good supply of ammunition.
Some time before midnight there
was another outbreak of firing and
this time the casualties were some.

Meanwhile firing occurred in other
parts of the city and lasted until after
midnight, when the situation became
calmer.
Former President Sam, Tancrede
Auguste, the minister of the interior
and of police, Genral Defy and NJ c.
lie Conte, the minister Of agriculture
and public works, had gathered their
forces in the palace, at about mid.
night, where their position was
strengthened by the fact that they had
the presidential guard on their side.
Opposed to this party was General
Saint Folk Colin, at the head of a
large body OF armed citizens. The lat.
ter are determined that the members
of the former government of Hayti
shall embark at once on the French
mail steamer. If they do not do SO it

recommence and Will be continued

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, May 14.-Those who
went over might long of wheat were
considerably disappointed at the
strength shown by opening cables. The
weather, too, was anything but bull
card. Receipts were somewhat tighter
all around but offerings became plenti-
full, which with very few buyers,
turned the July again under Is cents.
Good rains reported in Kansas and
Nebraska while the northwest was
favored with the much needed sun
shine. Export demand unusually ur-
gent, Chicago reporting sales of nearly
a half million bushels. Y On the scale
down some good investment buying
appeared, but offerings were excessive
and the usual good support was with
held for the same purpose as hereto
fore mentioned. When everybody be-
comes SO anxious to liquidate insiders
as rule do not make any special eff
fort to accommodate such holders.
Clearances were rather light which
with easier feeling in Livelpool's clos
ing temporarily checked buying of con-
sequence. However, we anticipate an
Improvement in values from now, and
beg to call your attention to the fact
that each recession. though frequent,
are pegging toward higher prices.
Corn was influenced principally by
the receipts of which we have pre-
viously prophesied. Twenty-seven
cars at Chicago would naturally set
most any one thinking, especially
shorts Z 1t cannot be that it is be-
ing held for better prices as the OUT
side are all bearish and are heavily
short. The May options sold less
than 10 CENTS apart in wheat and corn
and 1t may marrow considerably dur
/ ing the life of the July option. IL The
usual hot winds will prevail and make
the situation at times bullish beyond
what now seems a possibility
Oats were more inclined to show
sympathy with corn than wheat The
trade believe that the cat crop will
work against the deferred corn op-
tions. On the other hand, we believe
that it will be the means of getting
quite a short interest developed under
1 Favorable conditions.
Provisions are holding their own,
but the trade is light, the principal re-
ceiving points getting 41,OO0 hogs to-
day On dips it appears to us advis-
able to take on the July for at least a
reasonable scalp
