BY William Peters, American Con
sui at St. Lucia
''St. Lucia, May 10.-The destruc-
tion of St. Pierre is complete. The
upper end of the island is nearly |
all under ashes. The southern |
part of Martinique is safe, so far
as the destruction of cities is con-
cerned, bat all vegetation is de-
stroyed.
people and stock are perishing
for water. Rivers are blocked with !
ashes. Food is scarce and fam
inc cannot be escaped. The crater
of La Sufriere, on st. Vincent, is in
full eruption. The eruption is
visible fifty miles away. Steamers
report thick ashes 200 miles from
the island. 1t is impossible to ap-
proach the shore. The loss Of life
must be enormous, but detailed in
formation is at this time impossible.
Cable communications to st. Vim
cent are destroyed. Every effort
is being made to reach the island,
and there is great fear that some Of
those making the heroic attempt
will be lost.
"Forty thousand people perished
on Martinique, including the
Governor and his wife, and many
other notables. The entire popula-
tion of st. Pierre and practically
all of the residents in nearby viii
leges are among the victims. All
the shipping in the harbor, EXCEPT
the steamer Roddam, was destroyed
with nearly all the crews. The
Roddam reached here. Her cap
tain is badly burned. Practically
her whole crew is either dead or
badly hurt"
Eruption Still Continues.
London, May 1O.-Private dis
patches received late this afternoon
from the West Indies say the erup.
ton at Martinique is decidedly
worse.
The French Cable company re-
ceived cablegrams this morning
announcing that the eruption at
Martinique continues and that
ships are afraid to go near the
island.
The latest messages indicate that
the number Of deaths will be about
forty thousand,
Several of the smaller islands
hear Martinique have also suffered.
Lloyd's agent at St. Lucia, B.
w. l., cables that later news fully
confirms the disaster at st. Pierre.
He says he cannot ascertain the
names Of the vessels which have
been lost, but they include one Ital-
ian barque and two steamers, one
probably being the Grappler, the
cable ship belonging to the West
Indies and Panama Telegraph com
pany.
Lloyd's agent at st. Thomas, D.
w. l., cables that st. Pierre has
been totally destroyed by FIRE, and
that all the inhabitants perished.
All the vessels in the harbor
were lost. These include the
Grappler. The steamer Rorai-
ma, belonging to the Quebec Steam
ship company, took fire In the port
and became a total loss. All on
board the Roraima perished.
Consul Prentiss a Victim.
TT. De France, Martinique, May
1O.-The Governor of Martinique,
N. L. Mouttel, who started for St.
Pierre the day before, has not been
heard from and is thought to have
perished. His staff colonel and
wife were with him.
Senator Knight, president Of the
general council, must also be dead,

EIGHTEEN SHIPS in THE HARBOR DESTROYED
Graphic Description Of the Eruption of Mt.
Pelee May 8.

as well as the United States consul,
t. T. Prentiss, and all the other
foreign consuls.
The wiping out of the city was
accomplished in few minutes.
Destruction Was Swift.
After week of rumbling in the
interior Of the volcano, followed by
showers Of lava dust Wednesday,
the molten lava hurst out suddenly
at o'clock yesterday morning.
st. Pierre was destroyed and all
of its inhabitants killed almost in
twinkling. Those who saw the
eruption from the sea say that
masses Of FIRE fell from the sky.
Although st. Pierreis only fifteen
miles distant from here, it Is impos
sible to approach it on shore. Hot
ashes and ruins block all approach.
The telegraph line to the city is de-
strored.
Search for Survivors.
Every available vessel has been
sent to the harbor of st. Pierre to
rescue survivors, if any there be.
The French cruiser Suchet, which
was here during the night and
brousht the first definite story of
the disaster, has gone to Guadel-
ouPe for provisions, and will reach
st. Pierre harbor tomorrow morn
ing.
1t is thought that the residents of
adjoining districts not overwhelmed
who were dependent on the city for
their food supplies, will be N dan
ger of starvation unless help soon
reaches them.
Saw the Eruption.
The commander of the Suchet re-
ported that he saw the eruption and
went in as clase to St. Pierre as he
dared. He rescued about thirty
persons from vessels in the harbor,
eight of them from the Quebec
Steamer Roraima, which exploded
and sank after it had been set on
fire by the lava. All Of the rescued
persons are burned, some of them
terribly.
A number of the officers of the
Suchet were sent ashore in small
boats, bvt they were unable to PEN
citrate the town. They saw heaps
of bodies UPON the wharves, but
they did not see a single living be-
ing. They report that not single
vessel in the harbor escaped.
Not One Escaped.
The commander of the Suchet be-
lieves that not a single person in
Hierre at the moment of the out
burst escaped that the enllore town
is destroyed, ane that probably
many Of the surrounding parishes
are devastated.
Heap of Ruins.
Fort De France, Island OF Mar
Unique, May 11.-Advices received
here today from the vicinity of st.
Pierre (ten miles from here) con.
tain further details Of the volcanic
upheaval, which resulted in the ut
ter destruction of the town and the
death of nearly all of its inhabi-
tants.
The latest reports received here
show that lava continues to pour
down the slopes of the mountain,
slowly engul6ng the whole north
side of the island, while fresh Gre
vases are continually opening.
The $50 survivors who were
brought here yesterday from the
vicinity of st. Pierre by the French
cable repair ship, Pouyer Guertier,
came from the town ole Precheur,
where, surrounded on all sides by
wing lava, they were nearly

mentarily to be engulfed.
The work Of relief is progressing

possible, but, in anticipation of dis
turbances, the treasury building
and the warehouses are guarded
by troops.

turbances, the treasury building

Wearing Its Smoke Cap,
The crater at Mt. Pelee has been
wearing it's "smoke cap" since the
third of May; but there was nothing
until last Monday to indicate that
there would be the slightest change.
On that day stream of lava shot
through the top of the crater and
spread into the valley, overwhelm-
ing the Guerin Sugar Works and
killing D people aud the son of the
proprietor.
A commission was appointed by
the Governor to investigate the oIt-
break and it returned a reassuring
report on Wednesday evening. But
about o'clock on Thursday morn
ing a shower of fire rushed down
on st. Pierre and the coast from lie
Carbet, which had population of
5000 to lie Precheur, which had a
population of 1900, burning up
everything in its path.
The commander of the Suchet,
conducted a search at st. Pierre
yesterday. The captain reports
that the town is now a mere heap
of smoking ruins, under which the
victims of the catastrophe are
buried. The Suchet was able to
convey some Of the inhabitants of
lie Precheur to Fort de France,
but could not zach the northermost
part of the island, on account of the
dense rain of ashes.
The captain of the Suchet farther
reported that the Mont Pelee volca-
no still had a threatning aspect
yesterday evening. Subterranean
rumblings were still heard; flashes
of flame frequently belched from the
volcano, and stones were thrown
out with immense force. There is
no doubt that Gov. Mouttet and the
commander of the troops at st.
Pierre, Col. Dain, are dead.
Other dispatches confirm the re-
ports that the American and Brit
ish consuls and their families per-
ished.
The Stricken Island.
Martinique is an island 43 miles
long and not half as wide. 1t has
an area of $50 square miles and had |
a population of 100000, mostly ne
groes. Mt. Pelee is 4,3OO ft. high
and its last eruption was in 1851.
Thomas I. Prentiss was the con-
sui and Amedie Testarte vice con-
sui at st. Pierre. Mr.. Prentiss |
was born in Michigan and appoint
ed into the consular service from
Massachusetts.
Great Disasters in History.
History records few if any disas-
ters equal to the St, Pierre catas-
trophe. The most destructive erup- |
tion of the famous Mt. Etna was in
1893, when the city of Catona was
overwhelmed and $4,000 people per-
ished in the ruins. In 1888 Hecla,
in Iceland, destroyed twenty villa
ges and 1900 people. In 1915 Tom
boro, in Sumbawa, had an eruption
and'only 20 of the l2,OOOinhabitants
escaped. The destruction Of Pom

We hear a great deal about common
sense of its value and its Importance.
Now, in order to form an idea Of 1t,
we ought to get definition of it. What
then is common sense? 1t is to think

ly and properly; we see then that
common sense is not as common as It's
name would imply. How few people
think justly and properly. To think
justly and properly one must have ac-

Nor are we glad only that the war is
at an end. We are glad, also, and in
no less degree, because we are nov al
bowed to resume our proper work of
civilization. We do not lay down our
burden. We do not disguise from our
selves the fact that we have now to
begin anew labor uninterrupted by the
seif-seeking of men misled by ignorance
and inhibition. IT is malencholy to re-
feet that but for the usurpation of

It observes that the concilhation OF

Can 1t be possible that William Jen-

often TO accept another nomination, or
is it for fear that it might deprive him
of a larger and more noted defeat.
Perhaps he feels about the governor

asked If ne would not wear his dia-
mond stud to the banquet, and said he
feared the napkin would hide It. Won
