Fort De France, Island Of Marti-
nique, May 14.-Words fail to describe
the present situation at st. Pierre. A
small detachment of French troops is
making efforts to inter the dead, al
though the government seems to be
strikingly unconcerned as to what is
done in this direction. The looting of
the dead has begun already. While
coming to Fort De France the United
States tug Potomac picked up a boat
containing five colored and one white
man, whose pockets were filed with
coin and jewelry, the latter evidently
stripped from the fingers of the dead.
Lieutenant B. B. Mccormick, the COM
mander of the Potomac, arrested these
men and turned them over to the COM
mander Of the French cruiser Suchet
for punishment. The Potomac brought
a ton of supplies to Martinique, con-
sisting in part of Goldfish and -four.
This city is already filled with thou
sands of refugees from the north end
of the island, and more are constantly
coming in. The terror has now taken
a new form. There is imminent dan
ger of starvation before help can get
here. Provisions are needed imme-
diately for 100000 people. A shipload
of lime is also needed at ST. Pierre for
sanitary purposes. The stencil there
from the dead bodies is overpower-
ing.

Circular of Students
Delaware College, Newark. Del.
May 49, 1902.
My Dear Sir: Having just learned
that the faculty has mailed TO you an in.
accurate account Of the proceedings
which took place at Delaware College
today, we hasten TO acquaint you with
the facts.
The resolutions sent to the faculty by
the student body are reported correctly.
A member of the Freshman Glass. nm.
popular among his classmates, was given
a shower bath-a mild form of hazine
practiced in this institution-by members
Of his own class, and in no way injured.
On account of the unfortunate student
being brother Of a member of the fac
ulty, five students have been suspended.
Furthermore, the student body would
not uphold cheating in any form. and the
were from hazing simply, as
is shown by the fact that one student
who was not in the examination. was
suspended.
We consider the punishment unjust:
and at a mass meeting OF the student
body today it was unanimously decided
that we remain away from all college cx-
erciscs until those unjustly suspended
are properly rcinstatcd.
We earnestly urge parents not TO COM
pei their sons 10 return TO their duties
until the matter is satisfactorily settled,
as they would lose the respect of their
fellow-students by SO doing.
