no shipping at st. Pierre all our ves-

j. II. Hamlin, the senior member Of
the firm. For nearly half Il century he
had been in trade with the island and
maintained branch house at st. Pier

spent the winters in that city. This
year he resided in a house about two
miles from the city, owing to an cpl
demic of smallpox and when the disease
assumed alarming proportions two or
three weeks ago he started for England
with his daughter. TO this fact they
undoubtedly owe their lives as the
house where they resided probably was
destroyed by the food of fire that de-
yastated the city. Mr.. Hamlin and his
daughter now are en- route home from
England.
The younger Mr.. Hamlin also bad
spent a great part of his life on the
southern island and had many relatives
and friends in the i'll fated city. When
the early cablerram from the COM
mander of the French cruiser Suchet
came today, confirming the alarming
reports of last night. he said:
Beyond a question this is one of the
most terrible Catastrophes the world
has ever seen. st. Pierre had a popula-
ton of at least 5000. Three-fourths Of
these were cOlored-natives of the island
while the remainder was made up Of
