PEOPLE FLED
 MAD WITH TERROR.

The terror-stricken inhabitants rushed for the hills in their night clothing, screaming, shouting and wailing, mad with terror. The Rlis- sono family escaped to St. Tura in a small steamer. Thirty-five persons, mostly women and children, arrived here in the forenoon of the 9th and furnished the above details. The men remained at Martinique.
 The same afternoon, later, tele- graphic communication was inter- rupted with both the islands of Mar unique and St. Vincent.
 During the afternoon of the 8th the British steamer Roddam, which had left St. Lucia at midnight on the 7th for Martinique, crawled slowly into the Castries harbor, unrecognizable, gray with ashes, her rigging disman- tied and sheets and awnings hanging about, torn and scared.
 Captain Whatter reported that, hay ing just cast anchor off St. Pierre at 8 a. m. in fine weather, succeeding an awful thunderstorm during the night, he was talking to the ships agent, Jos. Plissono, who was in boat along side, when he saw tremendous cloud of smoke and glowing cinders rushing with terrific rapidity over the town and port, completely, in an instant, enveloping the former in a sheet of flame and raining fire on board. The agent had just time to climb on board when his boat disappeared.

THE FIRST MATE
 OF THE ROSAIMA DESCRIBES
 THE ST. PIERRE DISASTER.

Point-a-Pitre, Gaudeloupe, Saturday Morning May 10.-The first mate of the Roraima thus describes the disaster at St. Pierre:
 Between 6:9O and o'clock in the morn- ing Thursday. without warning, there came a sort of whirlwind of steam. boil ing mud and fire which suddenly swept the city and the roadsted. There were some eighteen vessels anchored in the harbor, including the Roraima, the French sailing ship Tamayia, four larger sailing ships and five others. All five vessels immediately canted over and be- gan to burn The Tamayia was a bark from Nantes, Captain Maurice, and was on her way to Point-a-Pitre All the boats except the Roraima sank instantly and at the same moment.
 "Eyery house ashore was utterly de- stroyed and apparently burned under the ashes and burning lava. An officer who was sent ashore penetrated but short distance into the city. He found only a few walls standing and the streets lit- orally paved with corpses. The governor of the island. who had arrived only few hours before the catastrophe, was Killed. Both the English and American consuls with their families was reported to have
  forty out of the above 25,OOo could have escaped"
 The cruiser Suchet was here yesterday buying provisions for the survivors in the outlying districts. She sailed for Port De France last night with a large quantity of stores which was immediately put under military guards. Negroes are flocking in vast numbers into Port De France from the surrounding country de- manding food.
 A telegram from Fort De France says that hot mud and cinders have been fall ing all night, and still continue, and Is suits are received it will be found that many people have been killed or injured in other parts of Martinique.
 The Quebec line steamer Korona arrived at the Island of Dominica yesterday, bringing a number of survivors from her sister ship the Roraima The captain of the Korona says that the eruption at St. Peters was apparently from a new crater, and that accompanying the eruption there seemed to be a tidal wave. which overwhelmed the shipping.

 eruption for nine consecutive mornings. On Thursday morning the day broke with heavy thunder and lightning which soon changed into continuous tremendous roar. Vast columns of smoke rose over the mountain, becoming denser and denser, and the scorish-like hail, changing later to fine dust, fell upon all the adjacent estates, destroying a vast amount of property.

 canic mountain, some ten miles north of St. Pierre, the commer- cial capital of Martinique, is the noun tain which made a faint show of erup- tion fifty years ago. On May last 1t began to throw out clouds of dense smoke. At midnight the same day noises, lighted the sky over an im- mense area, causing widespread ter TOT. May 4 hot ashes covered the whole city quarter of St. Pierre an inch thick and made Mont Pelee in- visible. At noon May stream of burning lava rushed 4400 feet down the mountain side, following the dry bed of a torrent and reaching the sea, five miles from the mountain, in three minutes.
 In it's rush the fiery flood swept from its path plantations, buildings, factories, cattle and human beings over breadth of about half a mile.
 At the rear of the mouth of the Riviera Blanche stood the large Cue rin sugar factory one of the finest in the island. It is now completely en- tombed in lava. The tall chimney alone is visible. One hundred and fifty persons are estimated to have perished there, including the owners.
 AS the lava rushed into the sea the latter receded three hundred feet all along the west coast. Returning with greater strength, big wave covered the whole sea front of St. Piere, but caused little damage ashore or afioat. Terrible detonations heard hundreds of miles north followed at short irreg- ular intervals and continued at night. In the intense darkness the electric light failed but the town was lighted up by lurid flames from the noun tain.

SEAMEN ARE
 ScoRCHED TO DEATH.

Several of the crew of the Roddam were quickly scorched to death. By superhuman efforts, having steam up, the cable was slipped and the steamer backed away from the shore, and nine hours later managed to reach Castries. Ten of the Roddam's men were lying dead, contorted and burned out of human semblance, among the black cinders winch covered the ships deck to depth of six inches. Two more of the crew have since died. Two of the survivors of the crew were loud in their praise of the heroic conduct of the captain in steering their yes sel with his own hands, which were badly burned by the rain of fire which kept falling on the ship for miles after she got under way
 Beyond burns all over his body, the captain Is safe, as Is also the ships aqent, though he is badly scorched. Mir. PIssono is believed here to be the sole survivor of the 10000 inhabitants of the town, and all the shipping in the port has been utterly destroyed.

LAND DECORATIONS FOLLOW
 THE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS.

Pointe-a-Pitre May 10-The morn ing of May Guadeloupe learned that the Mont Pelee volcano, In Martinique, had been in a state of eruption since Sat urday, May 3. throwing out ashes The same day violent thunderstorms began here Tuesday a very heavy storm oc- cured and loud detonations were heard At noon came a rumor that lava was flowing from Mont Pelee and that 300 lives had been lost at St. Pierre. All that day were heard loud noises like the discharge of heavy artillery far off. It Is known that these noises were from the Martinique volcano.
 In the afternoon the cable connections with Martinique all disappeared. A very heavy thunderstorm then broke over Guadeloupe and lasted for considerable time and rumors were current that the Soufrirre volcano In Guadeloupe was more active The earth was trembling as Basse Terre and volcano rumblings were heard
 News of the disaster in Martinique reached here by the French warship Suchet Friday morning. Nearly every one here has relatives in Martinique and intense sorrow prevails. All the stores are closed and the flags are flying at half-mast The mountains of Guadel- oupe are shrouded in thick clouds and frequent heavy storms continue. The people are on edge with anxiety, fearing that La Soufrirre has become active. A light earthquake shock or a slight in- crease In the usual smoking of La Sou frirre would precipitate a panic here. It is believed, however, that there Is no local 1anger.
