HAD ROUGH EXPERIENCE.
Capt McDowell's Description Of Con-
ditions at Martinique.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PORTSMOUTH, Va, June 2.-Fresh from
the scene of the great volcanic disaster at
Martinique the United States naval collier
Sterling has arrived. She was the first YES
sci dispatched by this government to the
relief of the stricken sufferers and she ar
rived there in time to witness the second
eruption of the Goth.
Captain Mcdowell gives a graphic descrip-
ton of the eruption he witnessed. His ship,
thirteen miles from the mountain, was en-
veloped in cloud of volcanic dust. This
sifted about the decks in such volume as to
make it necessary to sweep it off. Then it
began raining hot mud, which burned every
thing it touched.
The deck was kept clear of this rain as
best IL could be, and then came the hot
stones. The captain took up anchor and
prepared to move just as the bombardment
from the volcano ceased.
The inhabitants of Fort de France off
which the Sterling was anchored, are in q
state of frenzy the captain says. They do
not know at what moment they may be
swallowed up by an earthquake, swept
away by a tidal wave or blotted out of ex-
istence by another eruption of Mont Pelee
The fear of another tidal wave similar to
that which engulfed the shipping at ST.
Pierre on the occasion of the destruction Of
that city is felt by all the masters Of ships
in the waters adjacent to the island.

Visible Pulse Beats.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
''It is not such an uncommon thing" said
a physician. ito find a person whose pulse
beats can be plainly seen. and yet sup
pose there are but few persons outside Of
the profession who1 realize the fact. In
most person}Ss bsat of the pulse cannot
be perceived but the mere fact that the
beating is pegceptibie does not mean that
the pulse isn ethep2than normal I have
come across a number Of cases where the
throbbing iiR the wrist could be plainly
seen, and yefthe persons rarely gave evil
dence of abriermalityt in Temperatures They
were rarelyf feverish; and were in a good
physical condition generally. Pulses of this
kind from this tView which is based upon
actual observations of cases, do not indi-
cate anything more than an abnormal phys-
ical condition in the formation Of the wrist
veins 1 havefmet with one case which was
possibly a little extraordinary, in that it
was palmer and much more distinct than
any I had eyer seen before 1t could al
most be heard. The artery would rise to
a point almHst as large as the ball of the
little finger OF child, and would change
from the white OF the skin to a blood pur-
pie with each beat Of the pulse. I found
1t easy to count the pulse beats without
touching the patients wrist I could see
them plainly enough to keep the record
and In order not to err In my calculation, I
tested it in several ways and found I was
correct and that there was no mistake in
my counting with the naked eye

RESULT IN DOUBT.
No One Willing 10 Talk Regarding
Tabor TROUBLES.

The tipe li9at of two weeks of the truce
or suspensioH of lockout agreed upon by
the Master Builders Association and the
officials of the building section of the Cen
trail Labor Un1pn will expire this evening at
o'clock. What steps viii be taken by the
former organization with reference to the
strike situation cannot be ascertained.
1t was stated by Secretary Spier of the
Master Buildess'Association this afternoon
that his association. would hold a meeting
this evening at Its quarters in the Corcoran
building. but Ne ref6Sed to give out any in
formation asHp whaz action will be taken.
He stated tha SO fassas he knew no confer
ences have befh held between the labor off,
Gals and the Master Builders Association,
and that the situation was practically the
same today as 1t was when the supervision
or lockout. was granted. Despite the fact
that no official statements can be obtained
1t is thought the. labor leaders will confer
with the builders at the meeting this even
ing.
Today marks the ninth week of the
plumbers strike. and from indications it
Is ne nearer settlement at this time than
1t was the day 1t was instituted. The mem
bers of the Master Plumbers Association
declare that they have their shops full of
Workmen and have absolutely no need for
any more labor. The striking jourueymen
discredit this statement, and notwithstand-
ing the long period of time the strikers
have been idle they are unusually cheerful,
and express great confidence as to the
outcome.

JAPAN's BIG BATTLEsHIP.
Believed to Be the Most Perfect Fight
ing Vessel Afloat. :.

From the Scientific American.
The new japanese battleship Mikasa the
largest and, as many believe, the most per-
feet battlesh1p in existence is a mighty
affair. Like all the new battleships. of the
Japanese navy. she was built In an Eng
fish yard, having recently been ttrned out
by the shipbuilding firm at Barrow A sis
ter ship, the Asahi, was built at Clyde
bank; the Shikishima a battleshp of about
1850 tons displacement, was built on the
Thames; the Hatsuse, of 1900 tons, at
Elswick and the Fuju and Yashma, each
Of 1920 tons. were built. respectively, on
the Thames and by the ElSwick firm. All
of these fine ships are of eighteen knots
speed or over, the Full Yashima and the
Tatsuse having made over nineteen knots
on trial. The displacement Of the Mikasa
Is 1920 tons
One Of the best features of this big YES
sci Is the very complete way in which she
is armored, particularly in respect to the
protection afforded to the secondary bat
terry Unlike the vessels of the English
navy and the English-built japanese bat
tleships Full and Yashima the Mikasa has
her secondary battery protected by a con-
tinuous wall of side armor, a system OF
protection which We have always favored
in our own navy. This affords completely
inclosed battery, and through the unpro-
tected stretches Of the sides of the ship
lying between armored easements. The
Delt at the water line IS from 1Ouf
to nine inches thick. Above that her lower
deck is cuirassed by nine-inch plating
with fourteen inch. fore and aft bulkheads
Her casemated battery is covered with six
inch armor, her barbettes with fourteen
inches below and eight inches over the
guns, while she has in addition an armored
deck which on the slopes is no less than
four inches in thickness. So the Mikasa
may well be said to be clad In "cap-a- pied
armor
Her armament is not less imposing. con-
sisting as it does of four long twelve-inch
guns fourteen six-inch and twenty three
| inch quick firing cannon, twelve light rapid
| fire guns and four submerged torpedo
! tubes. Nor must the formidable ram be
| forgotten, which is strengthened and stiff
ened-as is the case in the later English
| battleships-by the side armor being
| brought down so as to cover 1t entirely fol-
some way back In short, there will be nc
| bigger or more powerful fighting ship ir
far eastern waters than the Mikasa wher
she arrives at her destination.

CHARGED WITH HEINoUs CRIME
Isaac Laws, Colored, Held for Action
of Grand jury.

Isaac Laws colored, twenty-seven years
old, of 1923 18th street northwest, was held
for the action of the grand jury, after hav-
ing had preliminary hearing before Judge
kfmball in the Police Court today, charged
with heinous offense. Laws will have to
remain in Jail until his case is called in the
upper court, unless he can furnish s., 900
real estate security for his appearance.
The new code provides death sentence If
recommended by jury for any one con-
Victed of the offense with which Laws is
charged. Bessie Walton, nne-year- old
coiored girl. who resides with her mother
at 1880 10TH street northwest, next door to
Laws was the complainant. The evidence
was to the effect that Laws visited the
Walton house Wednesday afternoon last
when the little girl was alone and that he
assaulted her
The affair was not reported to the police
until yesterday, and a short time later the
defendant was arrested by Sergeant Judge
and Policeman Emerson, and Coffin, and, it
is said, he admitted the charge to be true.

quest, placed under arrest this morning by

Call for Sartorial Truth In Art.

From the Tailor and Cutter.
A very large proportion OF the pictures Sc
lected by the Royal Academy this ytar are
portraits. But with a very few exceptions.
the sartorial portions of these are very ais
appointing. Either the artist has not the
ability to see the details Of commonplace
clothes. or else in his hurry and rush he
libels the tailor's handiwork, representing
the coats he makes twisting, squirting
snake-like garments. or else covering a por-
ton of canvas with a smudge OF color. ana
as it is in the place where the coat and
vest should be, expects the public to ac-
cept 1t as such. This is not truth, il is not
art and we hope that English artists will
wake up to the possibilities OF their calling
ere il is too late.
