volcano occurred Sunday night.
Throughout Sunday the adjoining dis
tr;cts trenabled and some of the shocks
were felt here. Smoke issued from
the craters and assures of the noun
tain, and the atmosphere throughout
the island of st. Vincent was exceed
ingly hot. While the worshippers were
returning from church at $3.50 p. m. an
alarming, luminous cloud suddenly
assembled many miles high in the north
end of the island and drifted sluggish
ly to the northeast. The thunderous
rumblings in the eraters lasted for two
hours and then diminished until they
became mere murmurings. The re-
roainder of the night was clear. Ashes
fell from 10 o'clock until midnight. The
Inhabitants were frenzied with fear at
| the time Of the outbreak, dreading a
repetition of the catastrophe which
caused such terrible loss of life on
ethis island. They ran from the streets
! into the open country, cying and pray
=, ing for preservation from another
calamity No one on the Island of st.
Vincent slept that night. Yesterday
there was an alarming report from
creditable source that Enham noun
tain, near the marriaquia valley, an
old and apparently extinct crater, was
showing signs of activity. This volcano

PEOPLE OF ST. VINCENT ALSO
THROWN INTO ANOTHER
PANIC.

Fort-de-France, Martinique. May %. .
The Inhabitants Of the entire island
are panic-stricken as a result of the
latest eruption Of Mount Pelee, which
occurred Monday, and which was more
violent than that which destroyed ST.
Pierre.
People are focking to Fort-de-France
and their one desire is to get away
from the island, which they believe to
be doomed.
The latest eruption of Mount Pelee,
which broke out at 5 o'clock Monday
morning, was ten times as violent as
that which destroyed st. Pierre. Col
ossal columns of volcanic matter were
elected from the volcano, which rained
huge, red-hot boulders many feet in
diameter on the ruins of st. Pierre and
the country near it from an enormous
elevation and with fearful velocity. The
volcanic clouds advanced until they
reached Fort-de- France. The spectacle
was appalling and beyond description.
the whole population of Fort-de-France
was thrown into a frenzy of panic,
during which soldiers, police. men and
women, all terrified, frantic. weeping
and praying, rushed through the
streets, while overhead the glowing,
fiery clouds rolled relentlessly and

steam launch of the United States
cruiser Cincinnati took some refugees
to the French cruiser Suchet. and near
ly a hundred persons sought safety on
the Cincinnati and on the United States
special steamer Potomas. At 10 O'Clock
the Potomac went to investigate mat
tiers. and all reports agree that Lieut.
Benjamin B. Mccormick, the COM
mander of the steamer. did great work
He went in close to st. Pierre and
found that city had been bombarded
with enormous stones from the vol
cano, and that the ruins left standing
after the first great disaster had been
rearly RACED Millions of tons of ashes
then covered the ruined city.
Further south smaller stones had de-
stroyed the houses of the brave viii
layers who had stuck to their homes
Mccormick took on board the Potomac
1870 refugees, the Oldest of whom was
seventy years and the youngest three
days old. The lieutenant fed them and
brought the party to Fort de- France
So far as known no lives were lost In
the latest eruption. This work Of res
cue was difficult and dangerous.
