The Situation at Martinique


Paris, May 16 M. L'Heurre, COVER
nor pro tenn OF MaTtlOique, today tele-
graphed the minister of colonies that
all the city achieves OF st. Pierre were
lost in the destruction of that city.
Mount Pelee, the acting Governor says,
Is still smoking. NJ. L'Heurre's note
continues: Tine complete re.vic,ual.
ling OF Martinique has been provided
for. The neighOoring colonies have
seot much. The French consul at New
York has informed the Government
that transports will arrive at Fort de
France shortly with sufficient provision
Tor $3.50, GOO persons for twenty days."
In addition 10 tle provisions already
sent the Ministry OF Colonies has or
dered for Martinique a large amount Of
provisions sent direct from st. Pierre,
Miquelon.
Fort de France, May 16.-Some Of
the few st. Pierre residents who escaped
from the doomed city before the erup-
ton say that early 10 April the wild
animals and reptiles left the vicinity Of
Pelee In great numbers. Cattle showed
unessiness. and dogs at night sought the
company of their masters, showing
every sign of fear. Later TumDlings
were heard but Mont Pelee had been so
long dormant that the people 10 the
valleys laughed at the warnings. 10
many cases bodies were untouched BY
fire. The reason that 80 few escaped 10
believed to be owing to the fact that
the volcano first threw off great guam
titles of gas which swept over the city,
rendering the Inhabitants unconscious.
Then followed the streams OF lava,
which finished the work Of destruction.
The steamer Madiana. with the sup
plies purchased by the New York
Chamber of Commerce, is expect
ed here today. Parties who visit ST..
Pierre report that death and ruin are
everywhere. Many of the bodies are
decomposed and the working parties
are using ropes to haul them to the
pyres whore they are burned.
Fort Do France, May 16.-The st
tempt OF gnouis to loot tue dead in st.
Pierre came nearly resulting in the
lynchiug of fifty. Armed guards pre-
vented the killing. The authorities
are taking severe measures to stop the
: vandalism.
Washington, d. G. May l6.-The
following cablegram was received by
the Navy Department this morning
from Capt. MoLssD, OF the U. s. 5.
] Cincinnati, at ST. Lucia, dated May 10:
I "5ix thousand refugees have come In
to Fort de France; 5000 have come
into Kingston. La the northern por'
tons OF Martinique and st. Vincent,
very many people have persisted
Others are suffering for food and water.
Very great difficulty In relieving and
saving so many people scattered over
large areas. The number of people to be
| fed and cared for is said to be reduced
by mortality. Have oosled here. Will
return TO Fort de France and st Pierre
today. Will eDdeavor to recover re-
cords OF American and British con.
sulstes at st. Pierre. II remains OF
officials are found will bury with mill
tary honors.

IN HIS speech in the Senate few
days ego in support OF the Philippine
bill, Mr.. Stewart said, "0ur control Of
the Philippines had been acquired
through the Spanish war, which was
an act not OF any political party, but Of
tne government itself" he did not be-
lieve 10 making promises TO Cuba that
we ought not t. have made. "Cuba" be
said, Ought to have been ours as re.
suit OF the war. 1t will be ours in time,
without doubt" But promises by The
average republican politicians are made
to be brokeo when it is to their interest

THE VOLCANOES.

Scient SITS say that Indications point
10 further disastrous volcanic eruplions
on the Island of 81. Vincent. Three
luminous spots have been observed on
the side OF Mount Pelee, which are
costing iucandescent rays, and fresh
disaster s feared 10 Martinique. Great
physical changes have taken place on
the island.
A MsrseiIles dispatch says that 8
cablegram received there from Trinidad
states that residents are abandoning
hat island, as they consider an erup-
zion imminent.
Hundred OF dead bodies are lying In
the cabins near La Souffiere and pesti-
lence is feared. Thousands of natives
are without food and the price Of grain
aud meat has risen to high figure.
Mount Pelee is ssid TO cast yellow
light over 81. Pierre. 10 which the sea
appears pea green, while vast cloud,
like a great black anvil. hovers above
che valley Of death.
The French government, through
Ambassador CambOn, formally express
ed its gratitude TO the United States for
the prompt measures taken to relieve
the suffering 10 Martinique.
Paris still appears entirely Indifferent
to the disaster 10 the West Indies.
The British government announces
that measures have been taken to re.
lieve III Q British colonists who are sui
iering in st. Vincent.

A DISPATCH from Paris says Ameri-
can VISITORS to that city cannot under
st md the seeming Indifference of the
Parisians regarding the Martinique dis
aster when nearly every nation In the
world is not oDly expressing COM
passion for the unfortunate jslsnders,
but showing their sympathy 10 more
eubstartisl ways. Beyond the half
masted flags over the government
offices there are no signs OF public
mourning. Psrisisus coDgregste at
their usual resorts, attend the races,
fill the theatres, none OF which has been
closed: 10 "extrss" are Issued, and
there is no demand for them. But the
evening papers containing bulletins OF
the automobile race are eagerly pur-
chased. Nero is said to have fddled
while Rome was burning, and be has
ever since been made type OF iDdifter'
eace. The Parisians are his worthy
descendants. They never would elbow
anything ID stand 10 the way OF their
pleasures. To most of them dun
vivimus Vivamus is their motto and
the Count of MoLts Cristo their ideal.

NICOTINE TAKEN OUT OF CIGARS
Further experiments by various French
physicians confirm the SUCCESS Of the
discovery which neutralizss the nico-
tine in tobacco, go that cigars and
cigarettes, while retaining their perfect
aroma, are absolutely uoiUjufious to
the health. DR.. Gautier smoked 80
large black cigars in II hours, without
any bad effect, aud usually three
smoked SUCCESSFULLY made him Ill. DR..
Bouisson made a hoy of Is, nom
smoker, smoke four cigars during an
afternoon, and the pulse OF the boy did
not rise and be was not nsuseatsd.
Fastidious amateurs have failed in dis.
tiDguishine the neutralized cigars from
the ordinary ones. The process is
secret and consists in sleeping the
tobacco leaves for several hours in
