The terror-stricken inhabitants of the
Island of Martinique are still fleeing from
their vOlcano-threatened homes and seek

more distant island of Trinidad-all left

relief.

If May s and May IS. when its most fu-

ly active to still pour streams of lavs
into the sea and to cover st. Pierre with
fresh deposits of ashes.
That city is now as dead as Pompeii
Millions of tons of volcanic matter bury
its head and hide its ruins, and whether
the city will be rebuilt is matter OF
much doubt. Before the eruptions en-
tirely cease all traces Of the place may
be absolutely Obliterated and if a new
city is to be erected it will have to be
over the ruins of the old and over the
vast cemetery of its people. The city
is now like POmpeii, a place for the sci

habilitation can be effected. In the vi

broken into activity and lava streams
are flowing from them. In Kingstown
most of the refugees are crowded and are
being cared for. An official estimate Of
the dead places the number at LOO, with
500 badly burned or otherwise injured.
Some Of these latter cannot recover.

the interest OF Cuba TO have the litera-
ture circulated. and Thurber and the
Export Association had merely acted as
distributing agents in the United Ststes
1t has not been suggested that the
money which Gen. Wood paid TO the Ex.
porters' Association was used for any
dishonest purpose. hut he was an officer
of the administration and as such spent
public revenues. collected under the di-
rection of the War Department, TO fur
ther legislation which the administration
favored. The appropriation of $1,000 OF
5000 by the military government OF
Cuba 10 defray part of the expense OF
the literary campaign in favor OF reci
procity has met with criticism in many
quarters.

SPEEDING UP TRAINS.
Railroad Men Making Many Changes
in Their Schedules.

Railroad men are interested in watch
ing the development of the idea that in
creased speed on passenger trains is le-
ing called for by the public. Along with
the announcement of the 2O-hour trains
by the New York Central and Lake ShGre
comes the further announcement of fast
er trains than ever before for other sea-
tons of the country.
The new daily 20-hour flyer now in
service over the New York Central and
Lake Shore is known as the Twentieth
Century" train. and only passengers sor
Chicago and points west thereof are car
ried on the west-bound train. This truin
is Illuminated by both electric and

is the finest the Pullman Company can
furnish.

depression comes from the good crop re-
ports in coarse grains, which weakens
confidence in corn and oats and makes
sympathetic weakness in wheat. At .he
