MUCH WORSE THAN TOLD.
Governor Of Windward Islands Sends
Report.

London, May 14.-The governor Of
the Windward islands, Sir Robert
Lewellyn, telegraphs to the colonial
Office from the island Of st. Vincent,
under date of Tuesday, May 13, as
follows
Il arrived here yesterday and found
the state of affairs much worse than
had been stated. The administrators
reports show that the country on the
east coast between Robin Rock and
Georgetown was gradually struck and
devastated in manner similar to
that which destroyed st. Pierre, and
fear that practically all living things
in that radius were killed. Probably
1000 persons lost their lives. The
exact number will never be known.
Managers and owners of the estates,
with their families, and several of
the better class of people have been
killed. Thousands of bodies have
been found and burned. One hundred
and sixty persons are in the hospital
at Georgetown. Probably only six Of
this number will recover.
''The details Of the disaster are too
narrowing for description.
Il got at st. Lucia coasting
steamer which is running up and
down the leeward coast with water
and provisions.
twenty-five hundred persons have
received relief.
Il have asked for medical officers
from Trinidad and Granada. All the
neighboring colonies are aiding.
"The sugar estates in the Carrib
bean country are devastated and cat

PROCTOR OPPOSED TO DlsAP-
PEARlNG GUN CARRIAGE.
\
IS A FAILURE
House Spends Day in Discussion Of
Naval Appropriation
Bill.

washington, May l4.-Durlng the
greater part of the senate session to-
day the Notifications appropriation
bill was under consideration. Mr..
Proctor of Vermont offered an amend
ment providing that no part of the
appropriation made should be used
for procuring disappearing gun car
riages. The amendment precipitated
a debate, which continued for two
hours, and had not been concluded
when the measure was laid aside for
the day. Mr.. Proctor led the fight
against the disappearing carriages,
declaring that they never would be
effective, and that in actual war it
would be shown that they were a
lamentable failure.
Mr.. Perkins of California warmly
defended the war department in adopt
ing the disappearing carriages, main
tanning that the bulk of the evidence
upon the subject was in support of
the carriages.
Fortifications Bill.
The Notifications bill carries appro-
priations aggregating $7,946,5S1.
The committee amendment provid-
ing for the payment Of $4,000 to the
Bethlehem Steel company was amend
ed by Mr.. Penrose, continuing the con-
tracts to the Bethlehem Sttel COM
pany.
| Mr.. Proctor added an amendment
that no part of the appropriation made
should be for constructing or procur-
ing disappearing gun carriages in en-
placements or magazines. He discuss
ed at some length the question of
disappearing gun carriages, saying
! that the patents secured by General
| Burlington and Captain Crozier had
been disposed of to the Bethlehem
Steel company and to foreign com
panies. He said that two-thirds of
the opinions were opposed to the car.
riage and he considered it an unsafe
| investment to construct any more OF
the carriages.
Mr.. Proctor had read opinions of a
large number Of army officers, some
in favor and many opposed to disap
pearing carriages. Already, he said
about $5,OOO,OO0 had been expended
upon carriages and the aggregate ap
propriations, direct and indirect
would amount to $10,O00,000.
He did not believe that the disap
pearing gun carriage would ever
prove effective.
Mr.. Perkins of California, in charge
of the bill, opposed the amendment
offered by Mr.. Proctor. He declared
that the disappearing carriage had the
support Of the board of Notifications
and CT the secretary of war.
'I understand exactly the oppo
site" said Mr. Pettus.
Mr.. Perkins insisted, however, tha
he was correct, and gave an extended
history of the disappearing gun car
riage.
