A Wnn,nn Pilot.

Mrs. S. f. Ballard is a full-f1edged
pilot of a Mississippi river steamboat.
and has a license which entities her
to the performance of pilots duties.
She is the wife of Capt. S. E. Ballard,
owner of the pleasure steamer Lola.
which is making a trip South. Capt.
Ballard holds an engineers license,
and with a pilots license in the hands
of his wife, they are independent of
everything except low water, and as
the Lola only draws twenty-one inches,
they have not much fear from that
source. This is their second trip to
Southern climes by means of the river
and they find it very enjoyable way
to travel. The party consists of ten
people. and destination the White riv-
er. where they will visit friends, and
possibly go down the coast later.
Pilot John Mcbride of ST. Louis has
accompanied the party down from Msr-
seilles in order, as Mrs. Ballard said,
that she might not have to work too
hard at the wheel. The Lola is six
years old, having been built in Peoria
in 1895. She is neat little stern wheel
craft. eighty-fve feet over all, and 1876
feet beam, with comfortable and COM
.modious quarters for all on board.
Since she has been in his possession.
Capt. Ballard has rerrodeled the boat
adding upper berths in the manner of
sleeping cars.-Marine Journal.

KEPT THE MATTER SECRET.
Governor of Martinique Warned of I'm
pending Disaster. y

Governor of Martinique Warned of I'm.
pending Disaster.
New York, May ga Herald spe-
cial from Fort de France, Martinique,
says:
1t is now. known that the lives of
all in st. Pierre might have been saved
had it not been for the action of Gov
ernor Moutette. He had been given
official warning of the impending ca
t%astrophe.
That warning reached him several
days before the disaster of May 8. He
chose to disregard it, and even went
so far as to order that the warning
should be kept from the public.
Professor Landes of the University
of st. Pierre had been instructed by
Governor Moutette to make an inves.
tigation of aIont Pelee. At the immi.
nent risk of his life, Landes went to
the crater of the volcano. He found
that the forces at work were such as
to make an explosion certain.
Hurrying back to St. Pierre, he sent
a cipher dispatch to the governor in
which he gave warning that the vol
cano would not hold itself in check
much longer. He even went so far as
to predict the total destruction of the
city of st. Pierre not later than May 8
Instead of acting on the advice Of
Professor Landes, Governor Moutette
went to st. Pierre and tried to allay
the fears of it's inhabitants. He or
dered Professor Landes to say nothing
about the conclusions he had reached
Both lost their lives on May s.
The cipher message of warning sem
by Professor Landes is still in exist
Pnce, but is held secret by the govern
ment

New Area of Active VuIcanism

New Area of Active VuIcanism,
with hundreds of fumaroles or min.
iature volcanoes. The new crater is
now vomiting black, hot mud, which is
falling into the sea. Both craters, the
old and new, are active. Mushroom
shaped steam explosions constantly as.
cend from the old crater, while heavy,
ash-laden clouds float horizontally
from the new crater. The old. elects
steam, smoke, mud, pumice and lapilli
but no molten lava.
The salient topography of the re.
glon is unaltered. The destruction OF
st. Pierre vas due to the new crater.
The explosion had great superficial
force, acting in radial directions, as
is evidenced by the dismounting and
carrying for yards of the guns in the
battery on the hill south of St. Pierre
and the colonial statue of the Virgin
in the same locality and also by the
condition of the ruined houses in st.
Pierre.
According to the testimony of some
persons there was an accompanying
fame. Others think the incandescent
cinders and the force of their election
were sufficient to cause the destruc.
ton. This must be investigated. I am
now following the nature of this hill.
This is the first positive scientific
statement based on observed facts.
Professor Hill has now started on
horseback for the volcano. He will
study the whole affected area and
will try to get to both craters. He will
surely visit Morne Rouge and the slope
Of Mont Pelee. The undertaking is
very hazardous, as explosions may oc.
cur at any moment, as one did May 20.
Professor Hill knows the risk he takes,
but says the only way to discover ex-
actly what has happened is to go to the
crater itself, or as near it as possible.
He will be gone two days.
Fort de France is nearly deserted.
A new source of fright is fear that a
tidal wave may come. A wave eight
feet high would certainly destroy Fort
de France and probably cause enor.
mou loss of life.

Admiral Schley asks the President in
his appeal to set aside all the findings of
the majority of the court of inquiry and
substitutes in place of them the findings
of Admiral Dewey. That is his appeal
in nutshell. But he is specially insis.
tent that the findings Of Admiral Dewey
which made him the commander at San.
tago and gave him the credit of the VIC
tory shall be approved by the President.
Secretary Long disapproved that find.
ing on the ground that II was not includ-
ed in the precept and that testimony was
excluded by the court on the point in
volved in it. This Admiral Schley denies.
1t will be remembered, however, that Ad-
miral Sampson was not allowed to be
heard. II the question could be fairly
considered to be covered by the precept
then the court should have heard Samp-
son. This they refused to do. Hence a
