RAISES WATER LEVEL.
Mont Peiee Is Not Yet on Retired
List.

ST THOMAS, d. w. l., June IL
In the course Of tire eruption Of Mont
Pelee which occurred on June 6. the
sea rose about q inches at Fort de
France and then fell again. The rise
OF the water did not cause any dam
age.
The French cable repair ship Pou-
yer Quertler was directly opposite
the lower crater Of the mountain on
June 6 graphing for a cable five
miles off shore, when dense black
clouds shot down from the volcano iu
the direction of the sea This phe-
nomen was similar TO that Of May s.,
but the clouds moved in another d.
rection. The Pouyer Quertier fed
from the spot at full speed and the
clouds followed the steamer about one
mile astern. The vessels decks were
covered deep with ashes, mud and
stones. which rained from a huge
cloud that had shot up 10 a great
height from the top of the crater.
Ashes from this cloud fell upon the
island of st. Lucia A few persons
who were in boats between LIE Pre-
cheur and Carbet near St. Pierre lost
their lives in the eruption on June 8.
