UNRECOGNIZABLE DEAD
Piled in Great Heaps at St. Pierre
Lava Still Flowing.

Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
Sunday May 11.-Several steamers in
Guiding the government steamer Rubis,
started from here, Saturday, for St.
Pierre 90 miles from this town. The
steamers had on board a government
delegate, a number of gendarmes, a de-
tachment of regular infantry and sew
eral priests. The vessels also carried a
quantity of firewood, petroleum and
quicxlime, for use in the cremation Of
bodies Of the victims of the terrible
volcanic outbreak of Thursday last.
Large quantities of disinfectants and
stocks of clothing for the refugees were
were also shipped to St. Pierre. The
refugees had. as a rule assembled at
lie Carbet and Case Pilote. (not far
from ST. Pierre), and, it is reported.
over 1000 of them have died since the
fearful stream of lava poured down
Mont Pelee.

$4,000 ARE HUNGRY.
Prompt Work imperative to Relieve the
Great Suffering.

Washington, May 12.-Sec. Hay has
received the following cablegram, dat
cd May II, from United States Consul
Ayme, at Guadeloupe, who went to
Fort de Franco. Martinique by in
structions from this government:
THE disaster is complete. The city
is wiped out Consul Prentis and his
family are dead. Governor says 10000
have perished: $4,000 are homeless and
hungry. He suggested that the Red
Cross be asked to send Goldfish. flour,
beans. rice, salt meats and biscuit as
quickly as possible. Visits of war yes
sells valuable
The navy department, Monday morn
ing, was informed of the departure of
the cruiser Cincinnati from San Do
mingo city for Martinique.
An important feature of Consul
Ayme's cablegram is the reference by
him to the governor as an authority
for the estimate of the loss of life. Pre-
ceding dispatches including the official
messages received at the French
colonial Office in Paris reported that
there was no doubt that Gov. Moutett
as well as Col. Dain. the military COM
marder at st. Pierre, had perished.

THREE THOUSAND CORPSEs
Found in Cathedral at St. Pierre Where
People Had Fled.

New York, May 12.-Successful at
tempts have been made to reach st.
Pierre, says a London dispatch to the
Tribune. Cabling from St Lucia, the
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
the town is a heap of ruins and dead
bodies are lying all around. Few ever
will be recognized, so great is the mu-
tilatiOn and distortion.
Search parties have found 5000
charred corpses on the site of the
cathedral. All appear to have been as
phyXiated at first. Not a soul was
found alive in the whole town.
Describing the destruction of the is
land city, the correspondent says that.
last Monday, Mont Pelee poured forth
a stream of molten lava 20 feet high
and half a mile wide. It's progress was
appalling. Rushing down the dry bed
of Riviere Blanche, it reached the sea.
The force of the impact was such that
the sea receded for 300 feet for miles
along the western coast. Loud detona-
tiOns followed at short, irregular inter-
walls. absolutely awe-inspiring and so
loud that they were heard 300 miles
away.
At night the volcano crater was a
mass of lurid flames. which shot high
up over the mountain, while all the
time the cannonading went on. 1t con-
tinued at intervals on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
On Thursday morning it was rela-
lively still St. Pierre was as usual
early astir and business was partly go
ing on about o'clock, when a stream
of boiling mud and fire suddenly swept
with incredible rapidity over the city
and roadstead. At once the town was
in a blaze. The fire seemed to run over
all. The ships We're instantly canted
over and began simultaneously to burn
and sink in the sea, which was then d
raging caudron. The whole destruc-
ton had taken place within less than
20 minutes of eruption.
