Kingstown, St. Vincent, May 17.-In the absence of symptoms of further eruptions of the volcano of soufriere the inhab- itants of St. Vincent are gradually be- coming settled.
 Most horrifying details of the condition of the Carib country, where thousands of cattle and human corpses lay in state of decomposition for several days during the agitation. are revealed Although the number of deaths in the island due to the disaster is estimated, judging from the missing inhabitants, at 2O0O, up to the night of May 13 only 126S bodies had been buried.
 The undiscovered bodies are probably covered with lava. In a small shop which was opened three days after the erup- tion eighty-seven corpses were discov- cred, and not one of them was recogniza- ble In the dwelling house of the mana

SOUFRIERE QUIET AND
 PEOPLE ARE NOT AFRAID

ger of one of the estates thirty corpses were found in a similar condition, and other sickening discoveries have been made.
 Towards evening yesterday, there was a slight convulsion, followed by small cAscharge of smoke, but this caused no alarm. The weather is fine and the ex- citement is abatlng. The bed of lava in the windward district is still hot. The abyss, 15OO feet deep and 200 feet wide which existed between Langley Park and Rabacci is filled with lava.
 A curious circumstance connected with the eruption is that the earthquakes wee not general, notwithstanding the small ness of the island. Although attended with smaller loss of life, the eruption of La Soufriere was not less violent than that of Mont Pelee, in the island of Mar unique.
 The area covered by lava here comprises sixteen square miles.

Mahon's Conundrun1,

From the Washington Post
 "Thad" Mahon went to the Capitol early yesterday morning and retired to the rear of the hall.
 Have you heard why they sent that conductor on the street railway to St. Elizabeth's?" he inquired intensely, as he settled down into an upholstered seat, where there was a group of col leagues.
 Mo-" came a chorus of exclama- tions. What was that for?"
 He was caught throwing money around the street and they thought there must be something wrong with him." chuckled the Pennsylvanian, tickled that he had so prompt a bite.
 As MT. Mahon is badly addicted to that kind of conundrums, he has added this one to his repertoire.

Summer Homes in the Mountains.

Undoubtedly the most inyigorating and healthful region in which to spend the heated term is among the resorts along the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in the Mountains of the Vir- ginias. These resorts vary in attitude from 1900 to 2500 feet, and are celebrated for grand and picturesque surroundings, variety of mineral waters, and an exhil- erating climate with mildly warm days and cool, refreshing nights, producing an energy and buoyancy which bespeaks health and promotes enjoyment There are over 300 Summer Homes in the noun tains and on the Seashore reached by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, varying in rates and character to suit those of very moderate means, who seek rest only, and those also who desire gaiety and social life.

1t is a republic with which our own

mon aspirations. Cuba must always be
peculiarly related TO Us IN International
politics She must in internal affairs be
TO a degree part of our political sys-

relations with US economically. She must
be. in a sense. part of our economic sys-

attitude toward as which we think wisest
both for her and for US In return, we
must be prepared to put her in an eco
monte position as regards our tariff sys-
TEN which win give her some measure
Of the prosperity which we enjoy. We
can not in my judgment avoid taking
this attitude if We are 10 perseyere in
the course which we have outlined for

four years: and, therefore. I believe that
il is only matter of time-and, I trust.

NE HATES CLEVELAND
Henry Watterson DenOunces
ExPreSident in Bitter Terms.
CANNOT UNITE DEMOCRATS
Characterize8 Him as ArtfuII
Selfish, Ignorant and Vulgar
CANNOT UNITE DEMOCRATS

Louisville. August 22-In reply TO the
charge that if Henry watterson is intent
on uniting the Democratic party. his stti-
tude toward Grover Cleveland and David
3. Hin is hard to explain. the editor Of
the courier-Journal in an editorial says:
IN his recent manifestation Of polit-
zeal activity Mr. Cleveland may have
been a disinterested man. If he was, he
made a serious mistake in supposing he
could contribute 10 Democratic harmony
But we do not think he was disinter-
ested man. no the contrary, il is our
opinion mat he never drew an unseliish
breath in all his life; that he goes out
after all there is in sight, or ne does not
90 out at all; that he blocked the way
Of all sound money Democrats in 1896
and that, hoping for a nomination then,
he would not reappear upon the scene
if he did not hope for it now; and that
all his pretentious posing as retired
sage and patriot IS but the crafty spec
tacular performance Of man who has
been-like his younger prototype, Theo-
dore Roosevelt candidate for office
ever since he came of age.
we detest him, not because of any
thing he ever did or said to US, but for
what we have seen him do and heard
him say to others. He is an artful, sell
fish, ignorant and vulgar professional pol
itician, having had amazing good for
tune and being possessed of rare skill
in the pursuit of his own ambition and
desires. His temperance upon the scene
at this time could have no other pur-
pose than to help himself in some form
or other. IT could have no other effect
than TO infame and divide.
NO real Democrat can regard Mr..
Cleveland other than as marplot and
wrecker. Between him and Bryan we
would support Bryan ten times over; be-
tween him and Roosevelt we would sup
port Roosevelt. Of course, the suggestion
OF his candidacy is a kind of absurdity.
But not in his opinion, nor in the opin-
ion of the wealthy nincompoops behind
him. He means business, and they mean
business-and their business is destruc-
ton TO Democracy.
THAT he and Hill came together meant
merely that each expected to get the bet
ter of the other They are d pair of pro-
fessional politicians, naught else. 1t was
an unlucBy occasion to Hill, who did
have something to lose. But, as a matter
Of fact, Cleveland has always outplayee
Hill.
Harmony should not be looked for in
that direction Real harmony lies else
where Mr.. Cleveland. if he be for once
in his life a disinterested man. can only
muddle things. But if he be out for de
stuff as is his habit and character, he
yet has the capacity to kick the mud in
the faces of all who follow him. Hence
we draw the lire on him
