JAMESTOWN. st. Vincent. Oct. 1S.-The
eruption of the Souffriere volcano on Oct
10 and 1.-the fourth terrific outburst since
the catastrophe of May 7-has plunged the
colony in deeper distress than before ex-
listed, Gripping its agricultural resources
by further devastating the arrowroot fields
and completely destroying wide areas Of
growing crops on lands which had been
considered outside the volcanic zone. On
these lands thousands of young cacao.

under the almost impentrable mass of sand,

Mesopotamia valley, an ideal garden of
tropical vegetation, although twelve miles
from the volcano crater, Is burdened with
sand. some places six inches deep, and the
lands to the eastward, bordering upon the
previously devastated area, are covered to
a depth of nine inches. Travel on all the
roads in the windward district-the only
regular means of communication between
Georgetown and this city-haS been rem
dered extremely difficult.
Large numbers of refugees and other
persons left Georgetown for k1nsStoWn, a
distance of twenty miles, Oct. IL and many
of them tainted on the way from hunger
and thirst and the fatigue engendered by
trudging through the hot sand. A number
of animals even broke down under the
strain of the journey. Hundreds of poor
persons were driven from their homes by
falling cinders, stones, etc. The situation
is desperate Comparatively no damage
was done on the leeward coast by the out
break. No lives were lost. This eruption
was equal in duration and violence to that
of the night of Sept 3. but owing to the
brilliant moonlight, the electrical discharges
were less terrifying.
