LONDON. May 15.-At dinner of
the West Indian club held in London
the Hon. Arthur POnsonby declared
that in view Of the generosity shown
by President Roosevelt and the Ameri-
ran people toward the Martinique suf-
ferers the people of Great Britain
should not be behindhand in emulating
President ROosevelt's example and help
their own countrymen on the island of
Ut. Vincent. Sir Arthur said he feared,
however, that the fashion of donating
funds for the sllccor of the victims Of
The disaster on the French island set
by King Edward might lead English
men to overlook their suffering kins-
men at st. Vincent.
G. 7. Cox, the administrator of the
Island of st. Kits, in the Leeward
group, spoke in the same strain as had
Sir Arthur Ponsonby. Mr. Cox said:
American philanthropy showers up
On Martinique, yet no one in England
has any idea how severely the inhabit-
ants of the island of st. Vincent suffer-
not only from loss Of life, but from tire
loss of their trade, which in normal
times IL carried OH on the hand to
mouth basis
Mr.. Cox, who is on leave in England,
expressed on behalf of the British ad.
minstrators of West Indian islands the
deepest sympathy for both the French
End British sufferers from the volcanic
eruptions.
Upon all sides bitter comparisons be-
tween the British governments lack of
teton inregard to the sufferers in the
West Indies and the prompt material
response Of the United States to the
emergency are being made.

When the bill was first presented
it was simply $50 for plate of the
new Rockford water tower. The
picture was to be used in the annual
report. Mr.. Boughman thought
this rather high figure for a picture
of that size and held up the bill.
Yesterday it was explained that
the picture was by Robert Shaw, the
well-known artist, and the cost of
the plate included the original sketch
by Mr.. Shaw. The bill was then
approved.
Members of City Council when
they heard of the matter las night
objected to the bill, but as the bill

They thought an ordinary photo.

kingstown, with its 5000 inhabit-
ants, is still safe, but there is a rain OF
ashes falling, and the air Is full of sul-
phurous fumes. The people are panic
stricken.
Refugees from all parts of the island
are cr0wding into the capital and clam
oring for means of escape. They have
heard of the wiplng out of st. Pierre.
and they are in constant fear that Il
final outbllrst of the grim monster
mountain will oyerwhelm them.
"A tremendous cannonading is going
on all the time. The noise of the erup-
ttons of In Soufrere is so great that it
is difficult at times to hear anything at
all In kingstown. Far out at sea the
explosions of the mountain warn mer-
chant ships away from the island.
Those who approach close enough see
with each outburst of sound Il tremen-

Great balls of fire are shot miles into
the air with each explosion. In the
darkness of night caused by the dense
cloud of smoke and ashes the spectacle
is magnificent but fearful. 1t is like a
giant Roman candle shooting cOntinu-
Ously.
Between the firing of the fire balls
there come flashes of winding flames
which run down the side of the noun
tain and sweep out landward and sea-
ward. These flames are caused by the
belched out gases which are ienited
and burn as they sweep onward. In

not what has become of their friends

the island and who are constantly ex.
pcctiIg to be themselves buried or
burned to death are now in danger of
starvation. The food supply is limited.
and it is reported that unless urgent

spoken in its favor.

car came from Wilmington to tes-
tify in the case of Miss Florence
Yeatman of Fairville, against DR..

Now Miss Yeatman brings suit
for damages, claiming that she was
i'll and disabled as the result of Dr.
Pyle's visit to her home where the
affair occurred. DIR. Pyle's friends
and patients, among whom are
some of the best known people in
Wilmington, have rallied around
him, and a large number of them
came to town this morning to tes-
tify. They found, however, that
line fence case had the right of way
and would delay the proceedings
somewhat.

ADJUSTMENTS. A
DUMONT'S MINSTRELS,

At the Opera House on Saturday
evening the attraction will be Du-
mOnts Minstrels, and the members
of the company have prepared a
special program for this city. The
reason for this is that many Will
mingtonians visit them in their
cozy Eleventh Street Opera House,
and the minstrels desire to please
the patrons who will no doubt also
attend the performance here. The
company will give its famous bur-
lesque on the visit of Prince Henrv's
to this country, and all the old fav-
orites will be on the bill. The min
strels are too well-known to the peO-
pie Of Wilmington to need any i'll
PRODUCTION or comment. The house
should he crowded for theattractiou
