TAKEN. UNAWARE.

The people of Saint Pierre, most of
them, were evidently taken unawares
and cut off from avenues of escape. In
from them, to the west was the open sea
into which some of them rushed, only to
find 1t boiling hot, to the north was
Pelee, vomiting out lava and ashes to the
south aud east OF them, high cliffs.
The pandemonium was complete and
the scenes OF horror will probably never
I've realized. except by those who were
there and fortunate to have escaped.
Old Pelee had remained quiet so long-
since 1s5l--and the Martiniquians could
not be brought to believe but that 1t
would always remain so. yet there has
always been superstition among the
lower classes (who are very superstitious)
that some day II would belch forth In
all It's power
According TO reports that for several
days previous to the climax Ii had
thrown up ashes and II would seem that
the population would have advantage Of

on the southern part of the island.

After a respite OF more than week
the health department found another case
OF smallpox to deal with today.
The patient is Alfred Lynde, a Fin, by
occupation a sailor.
Lynde is 40 years old and was born at
Medahan, Finland. He has a wife resid-
ing at New Haven. He had not been to
sea- however, for nearly four months.
Lynde has oeen boarding with Patrick
Gaffney, at 254 India street where. on
May lst Michael Brady was found to
be Ill with smallpox.
Every person boarding or frequenting
that house, save one, was vaccinated on
that date, the exceptional case was that
of Lynde, who lodged the health officers.
Having ascertained that Brady had cir
culated freely about that neighborhood
and had patronized several nearby bar
rooms, a physician has kept close watch
upon the house
That vigil was necessary, as develop
ments determined.
Saturday Lynde began to feel Ill, sun
day he was quite sick, Monday he was
down in bed, and this morning he was
covered with typical smallpox eruptions.
DIR. Chaplin was sent for and at once
ordered Lynde sent TO the pest house
where he was safely esconsed at noon.
AS Lynde had travelled at will about
the First ward, It is quite natural that
other cases should come 10 the surface.
The district will be watched with re-
doubled care and thoroughnesa.
This afternoon Mrs. Barrus, who was
admitted to the hospital on May I'd, was
discharged.

NEW CABLE WITHIN six MONTHS
Government Will Get Concessions In
Rates In Exchange For Nero
Soundings.

Washington. Nov. 22.-Secretary
Moody yesterday directed that the
Nero soundings be turned over to the
Pacific Gable company.
This action resulted from 6cH'
ference yesterday between Secretary
Moody and Rear Admiral Bradford.
chief of the bureau Of equipment, IN
regard to the proposition Of the Com.
mercial Pacific Gable company. 10
construct a cable from San Francisco
to Honolulu. The secretary has au'
thorized the admiral TO turn over the
soundings made bv the navy depart
ment to the Pacific company as soon
as the necessary papers have been
drawn up. These soundings, which
were made by the Nero, represent
more than year S work and an eX
penditure of about $1Go.o0o. AS a re
suit of the sacretary's determination
TO relinquish the soundings OF the
Nero in return for concessions TO the
government in cable rates and in mill
tary use of the cable, it is expected
that the cable will be in operation
between San Francisco and Honolulu
within six months and work then will
be pushed on the line between Homo,
lulu and Manila.
1t is due 10 the work Of the Nero
that Guam is to be a landing station
Of the Pacific cable. The cable com.
pany was disposed to believe thu:
there was an abyss in the vicinity Of
the island which would prevent the
laying of a cable by that route. Ad-
miral Bradford showed the company's
representatives enough Of the sound
ings to convince them that the sur
vey Of the Nero had made a detour
Of this abyss and it was agreed to lay
the cable via Guam.

WATER CURE INVESTIGATION.
Courts of This Country and Philip.
pines Have No Jurisdiction Over
Those Discharged From Army.

Washington. Nov. 22.-The secre-
tary Of war yesterday sent to the at
torney general the papers in the case
Of Father Augustine, who died from
the effects Of water cure administered
by soldiers of a Vermont regiment,
while serving in the Philippines. TIE
case has been thoroughly investigat-
ed by the Judge advocate general Of
the army upon the charges brought
by Charles Francis Adams, Herbert
Welsh and others Of what was known
as the Lake George conference. II
cannot be found that any person now
serving in the United States army
was responsible in any way for the
death Of the friar. and therefore the
persons cannot be tried by court
martial II is expected that, follow
ing the precedents growing out OF
other wars, the attorney general viii
render an opinion that neither the
courts in this country nor those in
the Philippines have any Jurisdiction
over the men or officers who have
been discharged from the army. Cap
tain BrownelI, volunteer officer, Eho
was in command Of the troops who
administered the water cure, has ar
knowledged that the cure was admin
istered and that the man died The
courts Of Vermont it is said, have M
jurisdiction over him. nor have the
local courts in Manila, where the o.
fense was committed.
