Washington, May 13.-Secretary
Hay has received the following cable
gram, dated May IL, from United
States Consul Ayme, at Guadeloupe,
who went to Fort de France, Marti-
nique, by instructions from this gov
eminent:
"The disaster is complete. The city
wiped out. Consul Prentis and his
family are dead. Governor says 10000
have persisted; $4,000 are homeless
and hungry. He suggests that the Red
Cross be asked to send Goldfish, -four,
beans, rice, salt meats and biscuit as
quickly as possible. Visits of war
vessels valuable
The navy department has been in
formed of the departure of the cruiser
Cincinnati from San Domingo city for
Martinique
An important feature of Consul
Ayme's cablegram is the reference by
him to "the governor" as an authority
for the estimate of the loss of life.
Preceding dispatches, including the
official messages received at the
French colonial Office in Paris, report
ed there was no doubt that Governor
Mouttet, as well as Colonel Dain, the
military commander at ST. Pierre, had

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
President Asks an Appropriation OF
Half Million Dollars.

Half Million Dollars.
Washington, May 13.-The presi-
dent has sent the following message
to congress:
"To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
Zone of the greatest calamities in
history has fallen upon our neighbor-
ing Island of Martinique. The consul
of the United States at Guadeloupe
has telegraphed from Fort de France
that the disaster is complete; that the
city of st. Pierre has ceased to exist
and that the American consul and his
family have persisted. He is informed
that 10000 people have lost their lives,
and that $4,000 are homeless and hun
CRY; that there is urgent need of all
kind of provisions and that the visit
of vessels for the work of supply and
rescue is imperatively required.
"The government of France, while
expressing their thanks for the marks
of sympathy which have reached
them from America, inform us that
Fort de France and the entire island
of Martinique are still threatened.
They, therefore, request that, for the
purpose of rescuing the people who
are in such deadly peril and threat
ened with starvation, the government
of the United States may send, as
soon as possible, the means of trans
porting them from the stricken ISL
and. The island of st. Vincent, and
perhaps others in that region, are also
seriously menaced by the calamity
which has taken SO appalling form
in Martinique.
Il have directed the departments
of treasury. of war and of the navy to
take such measures for the relief of
these stricken people as lies within
the executive discretion and / ear
nestly commend this cose of unexam-
pied disaster to the generous consid-
Grafton of the congress. For this pur-
pose I recommend that an appropria-
tion of 100000 be made, to be imme-
diately available"
Later in the day the house passed
a bill appropriating 100000 for the
relief of the Martinique disaster.
