DINNER FOR LONG.
Former Secretary Of Navy Welcomed
Back to Boston. 4

81 Boston, Mass, May 10.-Former Sec
rotary of the Navy Long RAJ welcomed
back to Boston yesterday afternoon at
a dinner given by the members of the
Massachusetts club. After the recep-
ton and dinner Mr.. Long referred in a
particularly happy vein to his service in
the navy department and to his inter-
esting experiences at Washington.
He. took advantage Of the opportunity
to pay tribute to the fidelity of Admiral
Sampson and to- argue in Justification
of the occupation of the Philippines,
making an appeal for public support Of
the administration. He also eulogized
the late President Mckinley. On the
Philippine situation he said in part:
"All war Is accompanied with violence
and with outrage, with cruelties and
with barbarities. Some of these cruel-
ties we have to accept and make no
complaint about. But there are cer-
tain methods of warfare that are le-
ultimate. The water gag is not. The
effort to lay waste a country and kill
every rerson over 10 years of age is
not. Such q thing is outrageous, and
ought to be stopped, and your president
has issued orders to stop It,"

Relief Measures at Now York.

New York, May 12.-Morris K. Jes-
sup will tomorrow call a special meeting
of the chamber of to be held
on Wednesday at 1880 o'clock, to take
such steps as may be necessary for the
relief of the survivors of the calamity
that has overwhelmed the French West
Indies.
Just what nature the aid rendered
will SUI has not yet been decided,
it is probable, 1t is said, that the work
of relief will largely assumed character
similar to that rendered by the cham
Der of commerce following the disaster
at Galveston, Tex, and that n work
will be confined to members OF the
chamber, with such business men as
may care to assist.
The steam yacht Aquilo, belonging
to William P. Emo of New York, is now
On her way, with her owner and a large
party Of guests, bound for Martinique
and st. Vincent to witness the volcanic
erupticns, having left this port on Sat-
urday afternoon. The indications are
that she will be followed by a number
of larger steam yachts belonging to
this port, including some OF those 10Y
out of commission.
At the New York Yacht Club yester-
day several Of the guests discussed the
feasibility of making the trip at once.
OF the big sea-going yachts capable of
making. the voyage that are now out
Of commission, it was believed work
would be commenced on more than one
today, to get them in readiness for a
trip to the West Indies.
Everybody who discussed the subject
expressed a desire to make the trip to
witness one of the most extraordinary
spectacles of recent times. Even should
the eruptions have ceased by the time
Martinique and st. Vincent have been
reached, the sights to be seen there
would, 1t was thought, well repay any
body for the trip.
The, Commercial Gable Company has
sert out the following notice:
I'VE are advised that the cable be-
tween Martinique and Paramaribo is
now working, and communication is
re-established with Martinique, via
Madeira, J!Teneriffe and Noromha."
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's central cable Office has received
the following notice:
"The cable is o. X: to Guadeloupe'
Cable to St. Vincent interrupted. Mes
sages go by first opportunity to Do

SHOCKS IN
Volcanic Disturbances Reported From
Aleutian Islands,

Aleutian Islands.
San Francisco, May 12.-The Alaska
Commercial company has received from
its agent at Unalaska, Aleutian islands,
a letter dated April 10, giving informa-
ton of volcanic disturbances in that
portion. The letter says:
"Unalaska has been shaken VI by
earthquakes lately, and on several oc-
casions the ground was covered with
fine ashes from some volcano. Reports
reach us from Unimak to the effect
that, with every westerly wind their
village is covered with some kind of
ashes. indicating that some western
volcano is in action"
Further particulars of the terrible
earthquake in Guatemala on April Is
were received here today in a letter
from E. K. Pearse, special agent of the
Kosmos Steamship line at Guatemala.
The letter, which is dated April "a, says
public subscriptions have been started
by the Guatemala government for the
relief of the homeless.
ut is feared says Mr.. Pearse, that
the loss of life was very large, but 1t
will be impossible to form any idea Of
the number of deaths until the ruins
shall have been cleared away. The city
Of Ocos has been almost knocked to
pieces, the coffee warehouses; agency
house, hotel, and other structures being
destroyed. It is impossible for me to
convey a clear idea of the true state of
affairs. There is hardly a coffee planta-
ton of any description thai has es-
capped. Machine houses are down, and
heavy losses hav ben incurred on
every side.
THE city of Quesaltenamo is being
practically abandoned, and it has been
necessary to end in thousands of In
dams from all parts with provisions,
as the survivors are really starving.
Several prominent Germans are
among the dead, the first including Os-
car Debane. Enric Hermann and Mrs.
Kildraar. Oscar Debans and Hermann
were wealthy and influential coffee
growers of Guatemala"
