Wednesday, announcing that a fresh
ERUPTION of Mont Pelee occurred dur
ing the evening of Monday, May 90,
causing great panic at Fort De
France. The cinders and scoria, how
ever, the governor added, did not
touch the town, falling entirely on
the north Of the island. Calm is now
restored at Fort De France. The gov
ernor abandoned his proposed visit
TO the devastated places on the island
on account of the torrential rainfall
and rough sea.

Of the River Blanche.
The governor concludes that his
latest visit to St. Pierre confirms the
previous reports that the southern
portion of that town was apparently
destroyed by an inexplicable prenom-
ena resembling frightful hurricane,
which swept from north TO south. The
fall of scoria formed a layer a foot
