 Catastrophe.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE INJURED.

HosDitals of Fort de France Unable to Take Care of the Living vte-

 De Evacuated.
 Point Pitre, Guadaloupe, Sept. B. The steamship Canada, from Marti- nique, brings news of the destruction of Morne Rouge, Carbet, Ajoupa Bouil- aon and Grand RIyiere by an eruption
 of Mont Pelee at 8 o'clock Saturday night.
 One thousand were killed, according
 to this report, and so many were in- tured that it has been necessary to
 convert Fort Saint Louis, at Fort de
 France. into temporary hospital to give them care.
 All dwellers in the mountains have
 left their homes and are herding into the towns. Starvation threatens. For several days there has been a constant fall of fine white ashes. The sky is at all times heavily overcast, and about the lower horizon there is a sug- gestion of fire. From the earth come deep rumblings, and the air is redolent | of sulphur. The more ignorant believe that the end of the world is at hand.
 Those few who possess greater spirit
 and will power are doing what they
 can to arouse the masses to save them
 selves. In several cases starving fami- lies have been found In houses which contained food ample for their needs,
 but which they were too frightened to prepare for themselves. Believed Death Inevitable.
 In other houses men and women have been discovered on their knees, await
 ing that death which they believed to
 be inevitable.
 More than 1000 sufferers are now
 being cared for in Fort de France, and
 it is believed that few of these can re- cover.
 The cruiser Souchet brought many in
 from Morne Rouge and reports that
 many others were left dead and that
 many more injured are yet to be brought in. Much anxiety exists regarding the
 safety of the cruiser that has not yet
 returned from the north side of the is- land, whither it was sent to give sue

 cured before. and they still continue. To add to the miseries of Martinique | tidal wave has swept the shore towns, rising sixty feet at Fort de

There was a startling series of detonations from La Soufriere, loud CT than any since the terrible eruption of May II. Each explosion shook the buildings of this town. The noises were terrific and gave the impression In every town and village of this is- land that the scene of disturbance was only about two miles away. During the period of intense anxiety which at- tended the detonations two luminous circles. like rainbows, appeared in the cloudless sky to the northwest. They were presumably the reflection of the flames in the crater of La Soufriere. Subsequently dense cloud of steam arose from the crater, but this soon dispersed. The weather now is fair.
