Sea EncrOnches From Ten Feet to
Two Miles.
Kingston, Island st. Vincent, May IT,
"A correspondent of the Associated Press
has just returned here from a visit. on
horseback, to the devastated district of
this island, during wrich he Travelled fifty
miles and penetrated to within five miles
of the Soufriere crater.
The ash-covered area of ST. Vincent
exceeds that of Martinique, which the
correspondent has also explored. The
most conservative estimate of the death
rate here now places the number at LOO.
About 1900 bodies have already been in
TERED
The entire northern part of the island is
covered with ashes to an average depth
of eighteen inches, varying from a thin
layer at Kingston to two feet or more at
Georgetown.
The crops are ruined; nothing green can
be seen; the streets of Georgetown are
numbered with heaps of ashes resembling
snowdrifts.
1t is estimated that the sea has en-
croached from ten feet to two miles along
the coast near Georgetown and that a
section of the north end of the island has
dropped into the sea. This is apparently
verified by the report of the French cable
ship Fourier Querter that soundings now
show seven fathoms, where before the
outbreak there were thirty-sX fathoms
of water.

de-France. Martinique, May II.
Last night great flashes of very
bright light were emitted from Mount
Pelee. They were visible from here.
Thick glowing red clouds, interspersed
with flashes of light are issuing from
the volcano this morning. Showers of
cinders, lasting for twenty minutes,
accompanied the activity. The people
in the districts Of Lo:rain, Marigot, St.
Marie and LA Trinite are panic-strick-
en-. The authorities are now waking up
to the fact that looting is being carried
on in an extensive scale at St. Pierre.
M. Vallin, who has been appointed by
cable general attorney for the firm of
Van Rcmondt, arrived from st. Pierre
last night. He says that on his arrival
there yesterday morning he found that
thieves had broken open the firms safe
and that bank notes were lying on the
ground all around. He had to call his
assistants to him for protection against
the hooters, who were closing in on him
to rob him. Eventually about forty of
the thieves were arrested and brought
here.

MUCH WORSE THAN REPORTED
INHABITANTS MUCH ALARMED AT
CONTINUOUS AGITATION of
CRATERs.
GREAT DtsTHuIloN PREVAILS
NEARLY TWO THOUSAND DEATHS
ON THE ISLAND HAVE BEEN
REPORTED.

Kingston, Island of st. Vincent, May
16.-Scientists VINO have come here
from the British Island of Trinidad
predict another volcanic eruption on
st Vincent within short time.
The damage done to st. Vincent by
the volcanic eruptions is now known to
be considerably greater than was at
first estimated. The present uneasiness
of the Inhabitants Of the island is in
creased by the continuous agitation of
the volcanic craters.
Friday morning, May 9, large stones
and volcanic dust fell in the neighbor-
hood Of Georgetown for two hours ter
rifying the people there. A cloud of hot
vapor then passed over that part. Two
eruptions Of levss magnitude that the
first occurred Saturday, May 10, and
from then until yesterday fire and
smoke has been ascending at intervals
from the craters. Owing to the great
heat it is still imLe ssible to approach
The Soufriere Volcano
from the leeward side. 1t is believed
that the Rabacci crater, in the Wind
ward district of the island, has also
erupted. From distance La Soufriere,
although less violent, still wears a cap
of dark clouds which is lumined every
now and then by flashes of red light.
Volcanic dust tell here again yesterday
but fortunately there have been also
several heavy rain showers which have
washed away the dust from the grass
and restoring verdure of the fields The
condition Of the atmosphere is also i'm
proving.
Owing to the destruction of several
estates the sugar and arrow root in
dustries of st. Vincent are seriously in
jured. Destitution prevails among the
1aboring classes, who are without
homes, without clothes and hungry.
Nearly two thousand deaths on this
island have been reported. Bodies have
been discovered in houses
I'm Lifelong Attitudes,
presenting gruesome spectacles. There
are decomposed bodies in many houses,
and, in order to guard against disease,
1t will probably be necessary for tbs
authorities to burn these dwellings
owing to the many difficulties in TIE

hand hundreds of bodies have not ct

Asawide areas of ground which forn-
erly produced foodstuff have beenyde-
vastated there is an abnormal denand
for breadstuffs and a CONSEQUENT
scarcity of food supplies. The prizes Of
food art advancing. The destruction of
the livestock of the island his also
caused a rise in the price of mat. A
British warship has arrived hee from
Trinidad, bringing provisions for the
relief Of sufferers.

CIVIL WAR WILL NOT BE AvERTED

Delegates From south Arrive With
Intent of Forming Government.
Port-au-Prince, Haiti, May 17.-There
were further disturbances here last
night. A mob attacked the palace, but
the rioters were fred on by the presi-
Dental guard and eventually dispersed.
Some of the attacking party were killed
or wounded, according to report. A
number OF delegates from the, southern
towns have arrived here with the IN
tention of forming another provisional
government. The revolutionists in the
North have rejected the overtures made
to them with the object of averting
civil war. They took this action after
raising loan Of $4,000, guaranteed by
the customs receipts of Cape Haitien
and Gonaives, the two ports in their
hands. The Northern army, conse-
quently, will soon begin Its march on
Port-au-Prince.

Dfxic's Cargo Euficient pr Urgent

Washington, May 16.-It IS stated at
the war department that che supplies
and stores shipped to Martinique and
St. Vincent on the cruise Dixie from
New York and on the ollier Sterling
from San Juan undou tedly will be
sufficient to meet the ugent needs Of
the suffering people forfully a month
to come. The present efforts of the
government officials he directed to
supplementing the fod supplies con-
tributed by the peopI SO as to make
them Immediately available and to de-
wise a system of distribution. Secre-
tary Root has authorized the officers of
the commissary department. at New
York to purchase ahy additional sup
plies that may be necessary to supple
ment those contributed by private per-
sons for shipmentito the scene Of the
disaster. Consequently private dona-
lions Of flour will be supplemented by
a proper supply o! yeast by the govern
supplies which rHuire other articles to
make them available for food.
The government already has expend-
ed little over 100000 Of the available
appropriation q 100000, and as much
of the balance as necessary will be
utilized. The administration antici-
pated the actin of congress in provid-
ing for the Immediate relief of the sit
uation with tie result that the Sterling
sailed from san Juan with supplies
within five hours from the time the ap-
preparation became available and the
Dixie sailed from New York with adj
ditional supplies in exactly twenty
nine hours after the president signed
the act making the appropriation.
These two vessels carry more than thir-
ty-six days rations for $4,000 people,
together with a proportionate amount
of clothing tentage, ETC..

Baptism of Fire Lays Half of St..
Vincent Waste.
Chicago. May 16;-A special to the
Record Herald, dated Fort-de- France, ISL
and Of Martinique, w. l., May IA, says:
st. Vincent has passed through verita-
bile baptism of fire and the results are
only less terrible than those that followed
the eruption Of Mount Pelee, destroying
the town of st. Pierre and its environs,
with their 10000 or 10000 inhabitants.
Mount Soufriere has been in activity
for nine days and its victims are num-
bered by the thousands. A line drawn
from Chateau Belaire to Georgetown
would divide the Island of st. Vincent into
halves. There Is probably no human be-
ing alive north of It.
Already 1000 bodies have been recov-
cred, and 1t is known that many hum
dreds lie buried under the ashes that are
mantled over the island. It Is conserva-
lively estimated that 1000 have been lost
since the first eruption on May q. This
includes most of the Carib Indians. which
means the practical extinction Of the race
that was found here by Columbus four
centuries ago.

BOGUS WAR THEIR AIM,
Secret Revolutionary Society III the
Philippines.


Philippines.
Manila, May IT. - The constabulary
has unearthed a secret revolutionary
society, similar to the Katipunan,
which was organized in the middle of
April. 1t was discovered through a
municipal official of Bulucan, who was
solicited for subscription to fund to
buy arms. The object of the society
was to create a 2emblance Of a revolu-
ton, and then demand that congress
grant independence to the Philippines.
The leaders have been arrested. The
members are obscure persons, who are
not known by Filipino politicians Or the
insurgents. The movement is believed
to have been suppressed.
Gen. Chaffee has concluded his ne
gotiations with the Moros in Mindanao.
He has also visited the Island Of Samar
and will return to Manila tomorrow.

score of revolver shots were fired last
night in the principal streets here. One
man was wounded by bullet in the

pounded, but there was no loss of life.
The shooting began at $3.50 p. m, and
ended at o'clock. Las turbas, meaning
"the mob" is political organization
which sometimes organizes attacks on
its political enemies. The federation
men had been notifying the authorities
daily that an attack on them by las
turbas was apprehended. Four men
were taken to the hospital after the
fighting and six arrests were made.

RAILROADS AND ALL SORTS OF
INDUSTRIES WOULD
SUFFER.

Hazleton, Pa, May 1.-THE anthra-
cite mineworkers in convention yester-
day, in order to win their strike, unan-
imously decided upon a plan that, if
carried into successful operation, would
practically tie UP the industries of the
country, paralyze business and incon-
venience the people throughout the
United States. 1t is their desire that a
special national convention of the Unit
ed Mineworkers of America be called
as soon as practicable for the purpose
Of endeavoring to have all the bitumin-
GUS mineworkers, both organized and
uEorganized, invol1 ed in the anthra-
cite miners struggle. This announce
ment was officially made at noon yes
terday by President Mitchell in a state
ment giving the result of the delibera-
tons of the delegates in convention. If
a special national convention is called
and the miners succeed in their object,
it would directly affect 449,000 men who
are employed in and about the coal
mires of the country. Coal would soon
become scarce and this would ultimate
ly result in the tying up of railroads
and all sorts Of industries that use
large quantities of the fuel. 1t is
doubted by some interested persons
here who are closely watching develop
ments that such
A StupendOus Movement
could be brought about for the reason
that the business interests of the coun-
try would not stand idly by and permit
such a plan to be put into effect. The
striking miners are enthusiastic over
the conventions action and most of
them can see only success in the prop
osition. An absolutely trustworthy
source is authority for the statement
that the special convention will be
called, probably at Indianapolis, in the
course of several weeks. According to
the rules of the United Mineworkers 4
petition signed by five mineworkers'
districts is necessary to call special
convention.

cretion of the national and district Of
ficers. What they will do cannot be
definitely learned, but it seems proba-
BILE that they will be permitted to re-
main at work for the present at least.
Notwithstanding that 145,00O men
have been idle for the last five days, no
disturbances of any kind have been re-
ported here. The region is extremely
quiet. The coal companies continue
their preparations for long struggle.
Attempt to Patch 1T Up.
Washington, May 1.-THE National
Civic Federation has under serious con-
sideration the means whereby it may
be helpful in bringing about a termi-
nation of the anthracite coal strike. A
tender of the good offices of the fedora
ton, with a suggestion Of arbitration
OF differences among other things, has
been discussed in tentative way, but
no definite conclusion has been reached,
and several DAYS will be permitted to
elapse before a determination will De

ambassador and dean of the diplomatic
corps in Washington, is critically ILL.,,
and there is every reason to believe
that his death is imminent. He is past
seventy years. and his advanced age
forbids the hope tina. he will rally from
his present attack. Lord Pauncefote's
chief ailment is rheumatic govt, which
has attacked his heart and other vital
organs This disease has laid him low
many times in the past seceral years,
but his vigorous constitution and pluck
always brought him back to a fair de-
gree of health. It is now considered
certain that death is matter of a few
days.

at Port Chalmette. La, and as the ex-
ecutive is the only branch Of the gov
erlment clothed by the constitution to
pass upon the application of laws Of
rutrality, as expressly affirmed very
recently by the Louisiana courts, it is
iot believed here that the Louisiana
State authorities will seek to make an
issue with the federal courts by UNDER
taking to do what the president himself
has not seen fit to do. It is presumed
that in due course the executives de-
cision will be communicated to the gov
ernor of louisiana who first brought

The London Mail Thinks a Cessation

London, May 1.-THE Daily Mail says
it understands that sufficient indica-
tions of the attitude Of the Boer lead
ers at vereeining have transpired to
justify the assertion that peace in
South Africa is absolutely assured. A
powerful factor in attaining this re-
suit, the paper says, has been the
British generosity in the matter Of
farm rebuilding, for which, 1t believes,
about E5,O0O,OO0 has been granted.
