of the Umpqua and Rogue Rivers, with
their orchards OF prunes, peaches,

California reveals the grandest mountain

were broken between Fort de France and
St Pierre, but it was added in view of
the reports that the eruption OF Mont
Police had wiped out the town of st.
Pierre all the boats available at Port
de France were dispatched to the as
sistance OF the inhabitants of that place.
The second dispatch confirmed the re-
port of the destruction of st. Pierre and
it's environs and shipping by a rain of
fire, and said it was supposed that the
whole population had beer annihilated
with the exception Of a few injured per-
sons rescued by the cruiser Suchet.
Immediately after the receipt of the
above dispatches the flag over the
Colonial office was draped with crepe and
hOisted at half mast.
The commander of the French cruiser
Suehet, recently at Fort de France, has
been ordered to return to st. Pierre, Mar

to forward details of the disaster to the
