Prompt Action Essential.

The whole world stands appalled, at
the terrible disasters which have occur
red and are occurring in our sister IS
lands to the Southeast.
The only disaster in any way compa-
'rable to this since the burying of Pom
peii aad Herculaneum nearly nineteen
hundred years ago, was the tidal wave
in lava following volcanic eruption.
About November, 1883. in the Island
of krakato an extinct volcando sudden
1y started up without warning. The
peo pie OF the town of Anger Point, Or
as the sailors called it, Anger Head,
evidently felt in no danger, as the vol
cano was more than ten miles away.
Showers of ashes soon fell on the town,
however, and shortly afterwards the
island split in two one half disappearing
entirely nnder an immense tidal wave.
On word reaching the United States
the Government at once cabled the .Ju-
niata which was coaling at Singapore,
to go to the scene They found Anger
Point deS olate waste not one brick
above another, nor a single human
being alive, wilderness of mud and
fallen trees. All the Juniata could do,
therefore. was to take soundingS and
warn passing vessels of the danger of
approaching too near.
We have not vet received full details
of the disasters in the Southern islands
but en- ough is known to show that there
are thousands OF people in these islands
who are in the most dire distress ho-
meless, helpless, wi hoat food, sh liter,
clothing, or any of the most ordinary
necessaries of life Every days delay
in succor reaching these surviving suf-
ferers ma mean the loss of many lives.
Immediate action is necessary,
The relief expedition will probably
leave within twenty four hours after
this is printed, so send your con.ribu-
tion to the BOLETIN at once. Send
either money or an order for p-ovi-
sions. Let Porto Rico show 10 the world
that she has not forgotten the generous
response to her own appeal for succor
during the terrible days following the
cyclone of St. Ciaca.
AS shown in the cablegrams received
by the BoLETIN something is already
being done. Relief expeditions have
been sent from nearby isla 1ds, and the
steam tug Potomac left here loaded
to her utm ost capacity But this is
merely TEN 3orary. Not only must
shelter be provided or those whose
homes have been Destroyed but TN
doab.edly thousands will have to be fed
for mon rs. Keme;nle er these people
are LET practically naked in a buried
and tes.roycd countrf Their condition
is no. only piIiable, bit desperate TO
do the n S. god Joar Contribution
should be sent in at once Remember

Necessary EllulaIO|L.
The News IS Mistaken.

The "San Juan News" in its article
entitled "the Victory of the 18th OF
Nav published ia it's sdition of to day
is entirely mistaken in its estimation of
the event to which it refers and the last
paragraph of the said article especially
makes us believe that our colleague
was in error when he gave the name
of Victory of the 18th of May TO what
was only an attack without consequences
followed by final withdrawal of the
North American squadron.
If, as the "News" says, there was a
vic.ory or triumph, it was for those
who, with fearless valor repulsed the
attack and for the people of Porto Rico
who gallantly helped in the defence of
San Juan.
The "News" says that there was a
panic produc ID in the city on the 18th
Of May four years ago. And what is
there strunge in this, when Admiral
Sampson, who is now dead, did not
give the customary warning that the
bombardment was to commence in
order that women and children and
sick cid people might seek safety?
We would rather not refer again to
events which nov belong to history,
bu! the News" ignoring the truth, no
do lit, propagates such errors in the
article referred to, that this explanation
of ours is necessary to prevent our
Colleague from making himself ridic
I'll ,us again, ignoring completely the
events On which it writes Or falling into
an excess of patriotic enthusiasm.
Yesterdays manifestation was not to
celebrate a triumph; nor was it made
by the scum of the population, as this
periodical says; it was made by the
butchers and retaiLdealers of the marke
place; nor need the News be surprised
that the Spanish flag was carried II
the procession for it must have Otter
enough witnessed its acclamation BY
the people on distinct occasions evel
since the American invasion to this
day.
Above all, the News must know tina
i. was not an American victory which
was celebrated yesterday and let it TN
derstnnd that the idea which animated
the organizers of the feast (Which wa
b1illiant) is completely distinct and alb
solutely contrary to that OF the New
with respect to the event of 18th of Ma.
1893.

received late last night from St Thomas.
St Thomas, May I2.-Worlds horror
grows with the accumulation of details.
The first reports, instead of being
eXagg Grated, as had been expected, did
not give half the truth. Each succeed
ing report is worse than the preceding
one. 1t is almost impossible to concei
We the terrible extent of the calamity,
and the loss of life in all three of the
affected islands is absolutely appalling.
In addition, the eruptions continue and
great apprehension is felt at Dominica
on account of the disappearance of the
boiling lake and the alarming atmos-
pher1c conditions.
Immediately upon receipt of the first
news from Martinique, President Lou
bet called a meeting of his Cabinet.
Preliminary arranging for general
public subscription, the President and
the members of the Cabinet present
subscribed personally at once the large
slim of twenty five thousand five hun.
dred francs, or about five thousand one
hundred dollars This sum was des-
patched on French Naval cruiser sail
ing from Brest In addition to this
sim contributed by the President and
Cabinet the vessel carried other funds
which had been h1rried1y collected and
was deeply loaded with provisions and
all sorts of supplies for the hapless sur
viving victims of the greatest disaster
OF modern times. -
The French Government also cablec
to the Captain of a French Nava
cruiser which was at New Orleans, ins
truc;ing him to proceed at once to Mar
Unique with such supplies and relic
store as he could secure without loss O.
time at New Orleans The French
residents of that city contributed gene
roasly towards the expedition with
both money and provisiors.
Immediately upon receiving the
special message of President Roosevelt

to enable the American Government t
render substantial and prompt aid t.

patches from St. Lucia state that the
French cable ship, which is attempting
to repair breaks and restore connection
as, far as possible, found the cable in

to give by cable anything like an ale.
quate picture of the terrible suffering
and despair of the inhabitants Of that
island. The number of dead reported
to-day exceeds the number at first re.
ported by eleven hundred.
An added apprehension arises from
the fact that Mount Souffriere is still
active and the utmost fear prevails,
Twenty Eve hundred refugees from
outlying districts have been carried into
Fort de France by warships. II IS re-
ported that the French Bank at St.
Pierre shipped funds and books pre-
vious to the catastrophe.
St. Pierre is reported to be entirely

Advices fr IN Washington state that
the Senates committee on the Philippi-
mes. by strict party vote, refused to
subpoena Major Cornelius Gardner,
Aguinaldo. Sixto Lopez aud Mabini.
Gen. Macarthur gave further testi-
1nohy before the committee. He ex-
planned his assertion made previously
that absolute chaos would should result |
independence be given the Filipinos and
the United States forces be withdrawn,
by saying that the people of the Philip
pines, being less prepared for self-gov-
eminent and administration than any
Of the Latin-American republics at the
time of their emancipation from Spain,
their own unaided efforts to accompl-
lsh self-regeneration would in all prob
ability prove abortive
The people of the Philippines, he as
serted, have rudimentary ideas and as
plratlons, and are, therefore, in an essen
TALLY plastic condition, which, under
the tuitionary control of the United
States, would in his opinion, admit of
fhe rapid moulding of the body polite
into consis :ent self-supporting CON-
monwealth. Even the best thinkers
among the Filipinos have no concep-
ton whatever of the practical mecha-
nlcal efforts whereby the results they
are all anxious to attain can be success
sfully accomplished.
American withdrawal from the isl
ands would, in the generals opinion,
result in the permanent failure of re-
publican institutions in the east and
fratrlcidal war which would continue
until suppressed by some exterior force.
The broad generalization, he said, is
reached that the United States must
retain the archipelago as tuitionary
annex; that we must plant onr insti-
tutlons there, that we must contend for
commercial supremacy and perhaps
combat for political supremacy 10 over
come the inherent difficulties of the 81
tuation, which will require the most
profound efforts of constructive states
manships
Senator Patterson asked if fhe general
would apply the same views to Japan.
Gep. McArthdr said that if Japan
should come into Or hands in clean
manner, with clean conscience, pure
morals and with the same definite pur-
poee we have in the Philippines, we
should by all means keep it. He gave
it as his conscientious belief that the
presence of the United States in the
Philippines is.an unmitigated benefac-
tion to the people.
Do you mean the Filipino people
that are left alive after they have been
subjugated?" inquired Senator Patterson.
Gen. Macarthur said that he did not
mean that there has been any unusual
destruction On Of life in the islands "Fho
destruction" said he, "is simply incident
to war and of course, embraces a very
small percentage of the total popula-
ton, which is dense.
"Thirty-three and third per cent in
one province. remarked Senator Patter-
son.
Replying to that Gen. McA1thur
said that if the senator preferred to
believe that he could not help it.
"We have as much right to bslieue
that from an American officer who is
the civil governor anil who is there in
the province as We have to believe
you, replied Senator Patterson.
You can believe what you wish and
| will believe what ! wish, retorted
Gen. Macarthur.
