The city of St. Pierre of the island of
Martinique, one of the French islands of
thea Windward group of the West Indies,
was completely destroyed by the eruption
of the volcano, Mont Pelee, last Thurs.
day. Some of the Inhabitants of the city
had left, as the volcano had been showing
signs of activity for some days, but most
of the people were in the city, and not
one who remained escaped from destruc-
ton. The loss of life in the city and sur
rounding territory, it is estimated, will
fully reach 10000. The Soufriere VOL
cano on the island of St. Vincent, in the
same group, was also in full eruption last
week, and it is said has caused loss of
nearly 2,0OO lives.
