have assembled in the churches. and the
cathedral where special services are being
held for the St. Pierre dead, has been
thronged since daylight.
Words fail to describe the present stua-
ton at St Pierre. a small detachment of
French troops is making efforts to inter
the dead although the government seems
to be strikingly unconcerned as to what is
done in this direction.
The looting of the dead has begun al
ready While coming to Fort de France
the United States government tug Potomac
picked up a boat containing five colored
and one white man. whose pockets were
filled with coin and jewelry, the latter evil
IDENTIFY stripped from the fingers of the
dead. Lieut.. B. B. Mccormick, the COM
mander Of the Potomac. arrested these men
and turned them over to the commander of
the French cruiser Suchet for punishment.
The Potomac also brought a ton of sup
plies to Martinique The northern section
of the island is depopulated.
Famine is Imminent.
A famine here is imminent. Provisions are
needed Immediately for 100000 people. A
ship load of lime is also needed at st.
