DaIy's Theatre.

"San Toy" is drawing large audiences
to Days Theatre and possesses all the
vital public interest that would surround
it We're it being presented for the first
time in New York, instead of for the
third time. The explanation of this cir
cumstance is that it is an extraordinarily
meritorious piece and is played by an
unusually talented company. Marie Gel
este, Minnie Ashley and Elgie Bowen
attract much attention and George K.
Fornesque and Samuel Collins have
scored strong in the comedy roles of the
mandarin and Lii" The costumes and
the scenery are especially attractive for
their brilliancy of color and artistic

Later particulars from the scene of the
West Indian catastrophe do not lessen
the estimate of the loss of life, and it is
still believed that &C, 900 persons persisted
on Martinique.
The captain of the st. Thomas relief
boat, on its return to Jan Juan, Porto
Rico, from Martinique, stated that he
was unable to approach the island.
Apparently the whole island was in
flames and covered with ashes. No sign
of life was visible. Seven steamers and
80 sailing vessels were in the harbor of
st. Pierre when the flames descended
on the doomed city. They were all
destroyed. 1t has developed that the
catastrophe in Martinique occurred on
the worst possible day, namely, the day
of the arrival of the French and the
departure of the English mail steamers.

the commander of the boat does not be.
lieve there is living thing on that part
of the island today.
The cable company, by the use OF the
marvellous testing apparatus at their
command, determined yesterday that
the cable was broken about fifteen miles
north and fifteen miles south of the
island of Martinique. This means that
there has been disturbance on the ocean
bottom embracing at least seventy-fve
miles wide. There may have been great
disasters at sea because of this upheaval
of the bottom of the ocean. for one OF
the ships that has arrived in port reports
currents that spun her around like top,
and also tells of sailing through wreckage'
to the north of Martinique.
Forty Thousand Dead.
The latest estimate of the loss of life is
10000. This includes entire island.
The inhabitants of the various islands
where the volcanoes are in operation are
fleeing to other points, and one steamer
reported all the refugees on board it can
carry.

from present advices, the entire popula-
ton of the city, some $4,000, were
burned to death or buried alive in the
lava that was sent from the crater.
Eighteen ships that were at anchor in
the harbor, including four steamers,
among them the Quebec Steamship
Company's steamer Roraima, and the
cable repair steamship Grappler, were
destroyed with all on board.
The British steamer Roddam rode out

Washington, May 10.-With pomp
and circumstance exceeding that of any
naval officer in this country, in recent
years at least, the remains of William
T. Sampson, rear admiral in the United
States navy, were laid at rest. Every
department of the national government
was represented. The military and
naval features of the ceremonies were
brilliant and impressive. They were
conducted under direction of Rear Adj

Henry George, the adjutant general.
The funeral escort was composed of
the light battery of the United States
artillery, commanded by Capt. Foote

cadets from Annapolis. 247 strong, a

KILLED BY HIS BROTHER
Novelist Paul Leicester Ford Shot
at His Home in New York.
Brother Suicides.

New York, May 9.-Paul Leicester
Ford, the novelist, was shot and killed
yesterday by his brother, Malcolm Web
ster F ord, writer and athlete, who imme-
diately sent bullet into his own breast,
dying instantly. The shooting occurred
at 10 20 a. m, in the handsome new
mansion which Paul Leicester Ford had
built at 81 East Seventy-seventh street,
and had occupied for about year.
The cause Of the tragedy can only be
surmised, but is believed to have been
on account of quarrel of long standing
about money matters.
