FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
May 21.-Yesterday morning at 5;3O
a thick, heavy cloud, lit up by flashes
of lightning and the rising sun, rose
from Mont pelee. The people of Fort
de France at once became panic strick-
en- and in scant attire rushed excited
ly through the streets of the town.
Stones from the volcano as big as ha-
eel nuts fell in the streets. Many of
the inhabitants hurriedly embarked on
the vessels in the harbor, and it was
with difficulty that they were eventu-
ally reassured. At I o'clock, however,
the excitement was over, and the peo-
pie became calm.
The phenomenon was similar TO the
eruption of Thursday, May s, but not
so severe.
Governor L'Heurre will leave here on
the French cruiser Suchct to inform
himself of the situation at st. Pierre.
The cloud which issued from Mont
Pelee was composed of cinders. 1t is
estimated 10000 people rushed into
the streets of the town shrieking and
praying.
A tidal wave has destroyed Il por-
ton of the village of Carbet.
A number of the inhabitants of Fort
de France have embarked on the avail
able vessels of the harbor and intend
to seek refuge on the island of Guade-
loupe.

from St. kits, in the Leeward group,
that Monday night and yesterday morn

From the British island of Antigua

Another report which has reached

o'clock in the morning Il curious, awe
inspiring fiery cloud, surmounted by a
fleecy white cap resembling highly pol
ished silver, was seen from Roseau, on
the west coast of Dominica, in the
southeast. This phenomenon caused
alarm in Dominica, especially as light
ming followed in its wake.
A later report from Castries, st. Lu-

that Mont Pelee had again erupted and
adds that another eruption back of the
town of Fort de France is very likely
to occur

crimes and murders, as we have Eeen
Blessed in this respect, still VIC cannot
hope to escape them entirely. We must
expect our troubles along with our bless

dealt out to us.
1t is natural, however, that when such
a cold blooded affair as the recent muruer
of Mrs. Faust, in Luncnburg, a full ac-
count of which appears in this paper,
takes place in our midst, that a spirit Of
resentment and revenge will take hold of
us. This is but hunlar and we lay no
claims to being placed In q higher order.
To hold this spirit OF revenge IN check
however, is Il duty we owe ourselves and
society and that this spirit has been held in
check by the citizens of Lunenburg coun-

mendable. They have undergone try
