1t Was Brought Yesterday by the
British Steamer Roddam.
I. Thomas, West Indies, May s.-The
town of st. Pierre, Island of Martinique,
with population of upward of $4,000 was
totally destroyed by volcanic disturb
ance of Mt. Pelee.
1t is believed that thousands were killed
In the upheaval that attended the erup-
ton. One report is that nearly all the
inhabitants of the city of st. Pierre, which
Is the commercial center and largest city
of the French West Indies. were killed.
All the shipping in the bay on which
St. Pierre was built was destroyed. -
The Quebec Steamship company IS
steamship Roraime is lost with all on
board. She left New York on April 26
for st. Thomas. She left here on May 2
two days later. The British steamship
Roddam, which was in port was partially
wrecked. The Roddam, Captain Free
man, which left ST. Lucia Wednesday for
Martinique, returned there yesterday
bringing report that St. Pierre has been
totally destroyed and that all the ship
ping in the port has also been destroyed.
The Roddanl's captain was seriously
burned and seventeen Of her crew are
dead.
ST. Pierre was the largest town Of the Island
of Martinique, French possession in the
Lesser Antilles group. lying between the two
British isles Dominica and St. Lucas. Mart
Unique is the birthplace of Empress Josephine,
wife of Napoleon.
The city of st. Pierre was the principal port
of the island. Its population was $4,000. It
was situated the west coast, near the
northern extremity of the isle. -~~.--
The town was built on low land and sani-
tary conditions were not of the best. On
higher ground. distance from the har-
Der, the wealthiest people lived. These
charming hill residences, enlbowered in the
luxurious Indian trees and flowers, presented
a picturesque view.
The botonical garden at ST. Pierre was the
most extensive ard complete of any in the
West Indies.
The area of the island is 3s1 square miles,
Mt Pelee is near the northern end Of the
isle and is 4, 430 feet high. The last eruption
occurred in 1851 Other mountain peaks are
evidently ancient and extinct volcanoes, to
which Martinique owes it's existence.
The density of the urban population on the
island can be better appreciated when it is
know that while the greater portion of Mart
Unique is heavily wooded and uninhabited the
island Is still one Of the most densely popu-
lated places in the world, averaging AGA to tho
square mile.
The production Of sugar and rum are tho
only notable industries of the people. About
50 per cent Of the population of 177,000 are
negroes and Asies ic coolies.
