lowing suggestion in regard to the
situation at Martinique:
1T has occurred to this bureau that
the refugees from the Island OF Mar
Unique may suffer from want of good
water. Naturally the surface water
will be strongly impregnated with
sulphur. and thus be unsuitable for
drinking purposes.
There is a good water barge az
Key West, with capacity of $4,000
gallons. ready for immediate use.
There also is one at Norfolk, capable
of 400, 900 gallons ready for immediate
use. These may be towed to what
ever locality selected for a camp for
the refugees at once. They can be r.
filed at Kingston, Jamaica, or Capc
Haytien, Hayti, where there Is an
abundance of good water"
. Secretary Moody has Admiral Brad
ford's suggestion under favorable
consideration. and the secretary will
, act on it to-day, in case other means
to serve the same end have not ap'
peared in the meantime.
