STRANGE SIGHTS NEAR
LA s0UFRIERE.
Rnbncca River Still n Stream of
Fire-Lnnd Has Spread Farther
senward-Mountnin Much Lover.

KINGSTON, ISLAND OF ST. VIM
CENT, Saturday, September 6.-The
sights in the windward district OF this
island, resulting from the eruption OF the
So,,friere volcano, September 3rd, are very
interesting. The Rabacca river even now
is stream Of fire quarter OF a mile
or more wide. The greater part OF the
Rahncca- estate is wrapped In vapor, ana
there are mimic eruptions everywhere.
The river bed is continuously throwing up
columns and dense clouds of steam, mud
and pebbles. The land has spread far
ther seward and is changing considera-
bly, the appearance OF the district from
what it was prior to September Bird. This
is probably caused by the ejecta that
flowed down the Slopes filling the sea
about the coast.
Fifty laborers, deceived by the appar-
ent quietude Of the volcano, We're work
ing within the fire zone Wednesday. at
the extreme north of the island, when
they suddenly saw evidence of an ap-
preaching disturbance of the mountain,
but were unable to leave the spot before
electric flashes and an outpour of gases
drove them to their shelter, where they.
remained, at the base Of the mountain
throughout the terrible night while fork
ed lightning darted in all directions
around them. The men miraculously es-
capped unhurt and arrived at Kingston
yesterday
VOLCANOES TOP BLOWN OFF.
The mountain is considerably lower
than before September Bird, and the ap
pearance of the summit has changed. A
large proportion had evidently been blown
off, and the hill has much more Jagged

.BLOOD-RED WATER
FOUND OFF#OUR COAST.
Ship Stenms Twenty-Five Miles Be-
fore Last of C1nret-CoIorcd Fluid
is Passed Through.

BALTIMORE, September s.-Captain
Delano. of the steamer Chesapeake.
which arrived to-day from New York,
brought evidence of queer phenomenon
he witnessed at sea. On Sunday. when
some miles southeast of Fenwick's island
lightsfip, the Chesapeake suddenly ran
into water that was blood-red. A layer Of
what happened to be lead-colored dust,
covered the surface Of the water for miles.
At first Captain Delano thought the
change in me waters color could be at
tributed to reflection or from the con-
tents of some debris or liquid thrown
overheard from q vessel.
Several hucketfuls were drawn up and
each was as deeply coiored as the sea
had appeared. Bottles were filled with
the water. What then puzzled the cap
tain was that the leaden-like dust that
covered the sea, and apparently floated
on the wine-colored waters. did not float.
but mixed with the water. and formed a
sediment at the bottom of the bottle.
The Chesapeake steamed twenty-five
miles before the last Of the claret-colored
water was passed through.

Sinking of n Haitian Gunbont.

WASHINGTON, September S.-As was
expected, Mr.. Powell. the United States
minister in Haiti. reported promptly to
the State Department the sinking of the
Haitien gunboat "Crete-a-Pierrot. by
the German gunboat Panther. The min
lister promised to make an extended re-
port by mail
The Navy Department also was in
formed Of the event in the following dis

German Sunboat Panther sunk Crete
a-Pierrot at Gonaives. 5 Crew escaped.
The Panther returned to Port-au-Prince.
AS matters stand. there is nothing to be
done by the State Department at this
iuncture. The officials have not changed
their view that the incident was one be-
tween the German and Haitien govern
ments and that it was not our business.
No American interests have been affect
ed unfavorably, in their judgment and
as the United States has not recognized
the revolutionsts in Haiti, there is no one
to make complaint to this government.
On the whole, it is felt that the ternina-

SMALL BOYS TO BLAME.
Fulton People Discount Reports OF q
Recent Disturbances

fuItOn ICODle D1SCOunt reports or u
Recent Disturbance.
Citizens of Fulton denied last night the
reports that appeared in the afternoon
papers concerning the alleged riotous be-
hayior in that section of the city last
week. They were very pronounced in
saying that the reports were greatly ex-
aggerated, and did not tell the true tale
of the disturbance which seems to have
been due to a number of small boys in
the neighborhood.
A number Of witnesses came forward
last night to say that there were no pis-
tol shots fired as reported. and the in
fiammatory reports about women scream
ing and calling for help are said to be the
result of disordered imagination on the
part Of certain excitable reporters.
After the Lamb meeting last night at
Donahoe's Hall, many of the best people
in Fulton were loud in their denunciation
Of the offending statements. They felt
that the reports did a great injustice to
that section Of the city, and they were
unanimous in asking that the statements
be corrected.
