CITY OF 0cOS ALMOST
KNOCKED TO PIECES
Believed That Loss of Life in Gsate-
malan Earthquake VIII
Be Very Large.

San Francisco, Cal, May 11.-Further par
ticulars Of the terrible earthquake in Guate-
mala on April IS were received here to-day
in a letter from E. K. Pearse, special agent
of the Kosmos Steamship Line at Guate-
mala- The letter, which is dated April "a,
says public subscriptions have been started
by the Guatemalan Government for the re-
lief of the homeless
1T is feared" says Mr.. Pearse, that the
loss OF life is very large. but 1t Is fmpossi-
Die to form any idea Of the number OF
deaths until the ruins shall have been
cleared away. The city OF Ocos has been
almost knocked to pieces. the coffee ware
houses. agency house. hotel and other struc-
lures being destroyed. 1t is impossible Tor
me to convey any clear Idea Of the true
state OF affairs There Is hardly conee
plantation Of any description that hac eS-
capped Machine houses are down and heavy
losses have been incurred on every side.
The city Of Quezaltenamo is being prac-
tcally abandoned and 1t has been necessary
to send in thousands Of Indians from all
parts with provisions, az the survivors are
really starving
Several prominent Germans are among
the dead. the list including Oscar Debans.
Enr1c Hermann and Mrs. kildraar. Debans
and Hermann were wealthy and tn1uentiai

AMERICAS PREPARATIONS FOR RELIEF.
Preparations for Sending Relief to Martinique by
the Tuesday Being Rushed in Anticipation of the
Prompt Passage by the House of the Senate Bill
Appropriating 100000.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. May lin anticipation of
the passage by the. House of the Senate
bill appropriating 10000 for the relief Of
the sufferers from the eruption which has
devastated Martinique. the War Depart
ment will take immediate action for the
purchase and transportation of supplies to
the distressed islanders.
It is the expectation of the State Depart
ment that Consul Ayme, who left Guada-
loupe yesterday for Martinique, will re-
turn tomorrow TO his post, and that it
will be advised by tomorrow night OF the
extent of the injuries inflicted by the earth
quake. and the character of relief that
should be forwarded.
As soon this information Is at hand
Brigadier General Weston, Commissary
General. will be directed to collect stores at
New York. They will be Immediately load
ed on an army transport, or, more prob
ably. on the Dixie. naval training ship,
which, Secretary Moody was informed to-
day. would be ready to sail on Tuesday.
As food is probably the first need of the
people. the Dixie will be hurried with II to
Martinique. The transport Sedswick. which
is at New York. will. If she can be gotten
in condition in time. convey clothes. lum-
her and such other supplies as the informa-
tion received by the State Department may
show TO be necessary.
FRANCES ASSENT PURELY
A NATTER OF FORM.
OF course this action Is contingent upon
the assent of France. but that Government
will undoubtedly gratefully accept the char
fly of the United States. NJ. Chambon. the
French Ambassador. in his statement to
The Republic this morning. said that as
supplies from this country could reach the
island more quickly than from France. un-
doubtedly the people of the French repub-
lie would appreciate any relief that this
country would afford.
At the same time. Secretary Hay will
recognize the sovereignty OF France by no.
tifying the Paris authorities through Am
bassador Porter OF the readiness of this
Government to extend relief TO Martinique
Frances acceptance being merely a matter
Of form. the work of shipping supplies will
not for a moment be interrupted.
Officers Of the army and navy Will be de-
tailed to supervise the distribution OF re-
lief. and their instructions will be to CO.
operate In every way with the French
e-.sftnorities. II considered desirable. the
supplies will be turned over to the acting
Governor General of Martinique. There is
not 20 be the slightest friction between the
American and French authorities, IL il can
be avoided. under the instructions which
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-05-12

will be issued by the War and Navy de-
partments.
II was suggested to-day that Transports
tion of relief might be more expeditiously
effected by using San Juan the base,
Governor Hunt could send such supplies
from Porto Rico as could be gathered there
and then could follow supplies purchased
in this country.
AMERICANS MAY HELP
TO PRESERVE ORDER.
The preservation of order in Martinique
will probably be matter Of some impor-
tance. The French man-of-war Suchette
which is at Fort de France. will undoubted-
ly land officers and men should their pres
ence be required. The cruiser Cincinnati,
which Is expected to sail to-day from Santo
Domingo, will arrive at Fort de France by
Tuesday night and Commander Mclean
commanding. Will tender the use of parties
from his ship II the French are unable to
prevent lawlessness.
The men sent ashore will respect the
sovereignty of France and will cooperate
in every way possible with the French
guards. There are warships flying the Brit
ish and Danish flags in the waters of
Martinique. and they, too. will aid In every
way. II is Believed here, in preserving or
der and In giving such relief as Is possible
to the people who are actually in need.
No word reached the State Department
to-day regarding conditions in Martinique
or In the Island OF st. Vincent. which is
also said to have suffered from an earth
quake. Cable communication with st. Vim
cent. as well as with Martinique. has been
interrupted. according to information In the
possession OF the State Department, and this
probably accounts for the fact that the
United States have not heard from Ernest
A. Richards, their consular agent at that
point.
HOPED THAT HOUSE WILL
PASS RELIEF BILL TO-DAY.
Mr. Richards Is not a citizen of the
United States, but British subject. He
was born in St Vincent, and has always
resided In the island. He was appointed
consular agent upon the recommendation CT
the American Consul In the Barbados
In view OF the distress which exists in
st. Vincent. an effort may be made by the
State Department to have the bill for the
relief of Martinique so amended that 1t
will enable the dispatch of supplies to the
British island as well. This will be done
in order to prevent any legal technicalities
being raised by accounting officers.
The administration II hopeful In view of
the extent of the disaster, and the fact
that France and Great Britain cannot
promptly send relief from Europe, that the
House Will act Tomorrow upon the relief
bill. As soon e passed. 1t will be con-
veyed to the White House, where It will
President II It is determined to send sup
plies to ST. Vincent, the Dixie or some Other
vessel will be ordered to peoceed to that
island.
