ST. VINCENT'S sOUFFRIERE.
American Scientists Still Investigate
ing the Famous Volcano.

JAMESTOWN, Island of st. Vincent, June
n.-Fleet Surgeon Isaac II. Anderson, of
the British Navy. and the scientific COM
mission appointed by the Royal Society to
investigate the volcanic disturbances ar
rived at Kingstown yesterday and left to-
day for Chateau Belair, intending to ascend
the Souffriere when possible.
The general feeling of anxiety here has
not abated. There has not been any big
eruptions since May 80. but the appearance
of this volcano is not reassuring. There are
frequent emissions of black steam.
The American scientists, Prof Edmond
o. Hovey, assistant curator of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History. New
York, and George c. Curtis, Of Harvard
University, made another ascent of the
Souffriere from the east. on Monday. They
heard the rumbling of boiling water in the
old crater when half a mile off, waited I'M
til the fog cleared, and found the south
east crater quiescent. The old ridge that
used to run from the saddle TO the bottom
of the crater remains. There is no water in
this crater. The Americans did not venture
to approach the old crater.
Professor Hovey says that apparently the
crater of the 1872 eruption took no part in
the recent outbreak, and so far as he and
Mr.. Curtis could see no streams of molten
rock, like those which issue from Mount
Vesuvius, have flowed, only superheated
steam, Old lava, ashes, ETC., having been
thrown out.
Many persons have returned TO Chateau
Belair and Georgetown for business but
they are very much troubled by the uncer-
tain appearance of the affected quarter.
A lake has formed at the base of the
mountain. Its banks are volcanic matter
which fell during the eruptions. Thick
clouds of steam arise from this place at
close intervals. The assures in other parts
of Wallibu still smoking
The relief works are progressing. The
government is now sheltering and feeding
1000 persons.
The United States collier Leonidas has
arrived with lumber for relief purposes. A
large number Of natives are now employed
and trade is Frightening generally. The
depressed planters welcome the rise of the
prices of arrow root in the British market.
In spite of the showery weather the heat
is oppressive.
Vessels arriving here report fall Of dust
at a great distance out at sea-.
The bark Jupiter from Cape Town, met
dust on the morning of May 8, when $50
miles south-southeast of st. Vincent.
One Of the chief objects of interest TO the
visitors to the crater was the mysterious
Souffriere bird, the myadestes sibilans (fy-
catching thrush), specimens OF which were
secured some years ago for the Smithson-
ian Institution at Washington. IT is feared
the remainder of these birds were de-
stroyed during the recent eruptions.

MANY LIVES IMPERILED
NARROW ESCAPES FROM A BURNING
NOVELTY LEATHER FACTORY.
One Girl So Badly Burned She May
Die and Other Persons Seri-
Ously Injured.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.-Fire to-day
destroyed the novelty leather factory of
H. NJ. Rosenblatt & Co, four-story brick
structure at Second and oxford streets,
and resulted in severe injuries to a dozen
persons. The John Moffet public school,
opposite the leather works, was damaged,
three dwelling houses adjoining the fac
tory were destroyed and nine others were
slightly damaged. The rapid spread of the
flames gave rise to rumors that num-
Der of the employees had met death in the
burning factory, but these reports proved
to Re erroneous. A member of the firm of
Rosenblatt & Co. tonight said all the en-
ployes had been accounted for.
There were many sensational and mar
row escapes, most of the 400 men and wom-
en- employed in the factory saving their
lives by leaping from the windows into
nets held by firemen. Katie Scheidell, aged
fifteen years, was carried down a ladder
by a policeman. She was badly burned
and her condition is reported as serious.
Others severely injured are: George He
bert. aged forty-seven. back injured: John
Snyder, aged twenty-five. shoulder dislo-
Gated and leg fractured; August Schoeter,
aged forty-nine, leg fractured; Samuel
Trankerman, aged twenty-five, burned
about body. Several others. including a
police sergeant and two firemen, suffered
severe decorations and were overcome by
heat and shock.
The fire originated in a small annex
known as the celluloid room. 1t is be-
lieved that sparks from crossed electric
wires fell into a quantity of celluloid. The
fire caused a panic among the employees,
especially those on the upper floors, and
for a time the widest excitement pre-
vailed. Firemen and policemen, however,
prevented the paEic-stricken workers from
leaping until the nets had been spread to
receive them.
Mr.. Rosenblatt estimates his loss at $780,
900, partly covered by insurance and the
loss on the other properties is estimated at

that Prussia would settle many German
Catholics as Protestants on lands which
