LIE GARRETT NOW IN DANGER
Gene Of Violent Volcanic Explosions Which
Arouse New Fears,
MOUNT PELEE THROWS OUT HOT clNOtRS
Letters from Martinique Indicate that
People Had Premonition of n
Disaster Four or Five
Days Before.

PARIS May ~2O.-Governor L'Huerre Of
Martinique has cabled to the colonial min
lister. NJ. DeCrais, announcing that Mount
Pelee continues to throw up immense
quantities Of cinders. which, owing to a
change in the direction Of the Wind. are
now covering the southern districts Of the
island.
Violent explosions have been heard at
LeCarbett. The governor further declared
there Is no danger OF an outbreak on the
part Of the population of the northern dis
tricts OF the island, as alleged, on account
Of the people being out OF work.
Interesting information OF the Mount Pelee
disaster is being obtained in letters which
are coming here from people in the island
Of Martinique.
One letter written during the afternoon
of May g., Says:
The population Of the mountain is flock
Ing to the city. Business is suspended, the
inhabitants are panfc-stricken and the fire.
men are sprinkling the streets and roofs,
to settle the ashes, which are filling the
air"
This and other letters seem to indicate
that evidences Of the impending disaster
were numerous FIVE days before 1t occurred.
1t is dihicult to understand how it was
that a general exodus of the population of
81. Pierre did not taxi place before May s.
Excursion Was Planned.
A St. Pierre paper Of May 8 announces
that an excursion arranged for the next
day to Mount Pelee had been postponed as
the crater was inaccessible, adding that
notice would be issued when the excursion
would take place.
Although Whitmonday is a public hol.

The advices received from Martinique
this morning indicate that the local au-
thorities are no longer anxious regarding
food and other supplies, which are now
reaching Fort De France in suficien,
quantities to meet all demands until the
arrival of the supply ships now on their
a to the island.
The correspondent OF the Associated Pres:
learns that the ministry OF the colonies
totally dlscredits the report OF the de-
structions OF St. Marie, Martinique, by fire
which has reached here, as today's dis.
patches do not mention the fact. which the,
certainly would have lone had the tow

The latest royal subscription is that Of
the former queen regent Of Spain, who
has given ten thousand frances for the
