Further Reports About the Eruption of
Mont Pelee-Gloom aud Anxiety Pre-

cred at Sea,

Berlin, September 5.-The report
brought by the Royal Mail steamer
Yare, which arrived here yesterday
evening from Martinique of the loss
of 1900 lives through the recent out
break of Monnt Pelee referred to the
deaths since Aug. 80 and not to the
loss of life reported from the reported
outbreak of Wednesday, Sept. 8.
The eruption of Mont Pelee on
Sept. 8 was not remarkable, but there
was a terrific explosion from the Sou
frere, on the island of st. Vincent,
Sept, 3. -s
The captain of the steamer Savan-
nah, now here, confirming the report
cabled to she Associated Press last
night that she ran into.
: DENSE CLOUDS OF DUST.
When 20 miles southwest of St.
Vincent at 2 O'Clock in the morning
of Wednesday, adds that absolute
darkness prevailed soon afterwards,
and that he changed his course to
due west in order to escape the ashes
which were falling thick. The first
officer could not see the captain two
feet away and only knew him by his
voice. They did not see the sun
until about 10 a. m. the same cay.
The steamer Yare further reports
that several more valuable planta-
tions were destroyed at the time of
the recent outbreak and adds that
the anxiety and detection of the sur
viviving population are general.
oUs CONSUL uL,AIARMED.
Chicago, Sept. 5.-'I am serious
ly alarmed at the news of the re-
newed activity of the Martinique and
st, vincent volcanoes" said Louis E.
Ayme, United States consul at Quad
eloupe, who is in Chicago on sick
leave. -..
"Should Mont Pelee blow its head
off the loss of life consequent upon
the production of great tidal wave
would be appalling. With pelee as
as centre, q chain Of islands ex-
tends worthwestwsrd, embracing a
population of some 100000.
almost without exception the
cities and villages are situated along
the coasts and bat slightly elevated
above the sea. A tidal wave 40 feet
high would probably destroy a half
million lives before it dashed against
the shores of Puerto Rico with its
million inhabitants.
''There is also apparently grave
danger that other long extinct volea-
noes may break out. The great Sou
friere of Guadaloupe has been active
for centuries, discharging vast col
umn of sulphur charged steam from
the sold summit crater. This may
have acted as a sort of safety valve,
but if, as reports seem to indicate,
the seismic forces are increasing in
tensity this volcano and others along
the line of seismic weakness marked
by the island chain may: be soon
rivalling Pelee."
