Washington, May 15.-The navy de-
partment has received number of
messages bearing on the Martinique
disaster. Lieutenant B. B. Mccormick,
commanding the Potomac, sent the fol-
lowing from Fort de France: "Inhab-
itants st. Pierre, sixteen vessels, total
ly destroyed. Surrounding villages I'M
inha bitable. Island covered with de.
struction. Ashes within five miles Of

lowing cablegram from Consul Ayme

to whether fresh water and supplies
are needed:

tive for $4,000 refugees. l have cabled
this to the governor of Porto Rico, an
swering his query as to what was

supplies. The Cincinnati is here"
Adjutant General Corbin has re-
ceived cablegram from San Juan,
Porto Rico. saying that the collier
Sterling will sail at once with supplies
for Martinique.
Members of the house appropriations
committee are averse to calling a spe-
cial meeting of the committee for the
purpose of considering an additional
appropriation for the relief of the peo-
pie of Martinique. They say that until
it is demonstrated that the amount al
ready appropriated is not sufficient to
meet the needs of the sufferers it would
be inadvisable to appropriate an addi-
tional amount in view of the wide
spread donations now being made and
the relief work that is being done to
succor the living and care for the
dead
Practically all of those who were
named by the president to serve on a
Martinique relief committee have wir
ed their acceptance and have indicated
willingness to enter heartily into the
work of raising and receiving contribu-
lions in aid Of the sufferers. Already
large amounts are reported as having
been received, and the president is
much gratified at the prompt response
to his appeal.
Major d. L. Brainard, commissary
of subsistence, U. s. A., purchasing
commissary, Army building, New York
city, is designated by the secretary of
war to take charge of any contribu-
lions that may be made by citizens of
New York and other cities for the suf-
ferers in the. French West Indies and
which the citizens committees may
wish forwarded through the war de-
partment. All stores should be turned
over to Major Brainard, who will pre-
pare the same for shipment, giving re-
ceipts and rendering account to the
commssary general Of subsistence of
all stores received and disposition
made.

Fargo, N. D., Feb. 17.-Fargo officials
are still laughing over the expressions
of Indignation by Agent Gates of the
Minnesota board Of charities when he was
here Saturday afternoon on the Ole Hell
| seth case. Helseth was arrested here after
arrival from Georgetown. He acted queer
ly and had a scheme to doctor frozen
horses and requested that special care
be taken Of several barrels of money he
had at the station. The insanity board
construed his case as harmless and dis
missed it.
Helseth claimed to be a resident of
Rothsay Mimi. and was assisted there
and left at the home Of relative, who
soon tired of the mans vagaries and
turned him over to the authorities at
Fergus Falls. They invoked the aid Of
Agent Gates and he certainly earned his
stipend Saturday by his denunc1ation of
the local officers who could not see the
advantage of caring for Minnesota man
with wheels, when the North Dakota in
stitution was SO overcroWded and Mime
sofa had so many eXcellently managed
establishments.
Agent Gates says that Helseth is a
North Dakotan because he worked on
farms in North Dakota some summers. An
acquaintance of Helseth says he was en-
ployed in North Dakota in the summer
months, but always returned to Mime
sofa for the winter and claimed that state
as his residence.
Agent Gates completely lost his temper
at the failure Of the local officials to take
the same view of the situation he had,
and threatened to invoke various and sun
dry laws ,...

the following letter among their mail:
They had no correspondence on the

testimonial of this great medicine that

never found it necessary to manufac-
ture or edit any testimonial. They have
never found it necessary by any trick
OF advertising to promote mythical
men in far off places to positions

any father would indulge his daughter,
but he realized that the case was differ

her eyes, the little girl tottered up the

One of Marie's five aunts is charged
with kidnapping the little girl. She is
being sought through a private detective
agency, but the course to be pursued in
the event of her apprehension has not yet
been determined by Mrs. Dryden or her
father, former member of the state
