himself in favor Of Gen. Firmin, who is
the head Of the revolutionary forces in

The northern revolutionsts have seized
the customs houses of Cape Haitien, Port

this action have been entered by the nat
ional bank and the diplomatic corps.
A severe engagement between the
northern revolutionists and the southern

expected tomorrow or the day after.
A steamer from Kingston, Jamaica, Is
expected, bringing number of Ha1tiens
who have been in exile. Among them are

GOVERNOR LLEWELLYN'S REPORT
State of Affairs at St. Vincent Worse
Than Described.

State of Affairs at st. Vincent Worse
Than Described.
." London, May 14-The governor Of the
Windward islands, Sir Robert Llewellyn,
telegraphs to the colonial Office from the
Island OF St. Vincent, under date of Tues
day, May 49,, as follows:
II arrived here yesterday and found
the state of affairs much worse than had
been stated The administrators report
shows that the country on the east coast
between Robin Rock and Georgetown, was
apparently struck and devastated in
manner similar to that which destroyed
St. Pierre, and I fear that practically all
living things in that radius were killed.
Probably 1, 500 persons lost their lives. The
ayers and owners of the estates. with their
families have been killed, "A thousand
bodies have hean found and buried. One
hundred and sixty persons are in the hos
pital at Georgetown. Probably only SIX OF
this number will recover.
..The details of the disaster are too har-
rowing for description I got at St. Lucia
a. coasting steamer which is running up
and down the Leeward coast with water
and provisions. Twenty-Five hundred per-
sons received relief.
IT have asked for medical officers from
Trinidad and Grenada. All the neighbor-
ing British colonies are assisting gener-
ougIy. Every effort is being made to Crap
pie with the awful calamity. IT,
..Au the beet sugar estates in the Car1n
country are devastated and the cattle are
dead. The eruption continues but is ap-
parently moderating. Anxiety is still felt
All the officers and residents are cooper
atine with me. The ladies are making
clothing .u F.,
Sir Frederic M Hodgson, the governor
of Barbados, forwarded to the colonial
| Office to-day the report OF the. colonial
secretary who has just returned from
visit to St. Pierre, Martinique. 1t con-
| firms the worst accounts Of the disaster,
! The secretary compares the ignited mat
ter which destroyed everything within an
| area of ten miles long by six wide, to
| burning sealing wax. He adds, significant
| " that the services of doctors are not
| REQUIRED, as there are no wounded per-
sons. III. -..

we can. greatly benefit" said he. Any
satisfaction. which he had derived from
his gifts arose, from the fact that. he had
induced individuals and communities to
give.
IT think it will be found he added,
chat far from being a pnilanthropist /
am engaged in making the best bargains
of my life:s For instance, when New York
had been given over a million pounds for
seventy-two libraries L succeeded in get

furnish sites and maintain these libraries
forever. Her investment Il hope this

herr is greater than mine. This is not
philanthropy. 1t is a clever stroke OF
business. I am open to propositions OF
similar character from cities in any part
of the English speaking world
Mr. Carnegie gave numerous instances
of how through the inventive genius of
Great Britain her "giant child America
owes her present position adding that
all the English could ever learn from
America never could be compared with
what America had received from England
Dealing with international relations Mr.
Carnegie said he rejoiced to say that
never in his day had the American people
and government been SO lovingly inclined
towards the old home as at present, and
never had the patriotism of the race, the
coming force in international affairs, re-
vealed itself so clearly. He concluded with
saving that the possibility of the Eng
lish- speaking peoples killing each other
on the plea of civilized warfare was ban
ished, and that in the event of a differ
ence, mo government, on either side Of
| the Atlantic could resist the offer of the
other of arbitration and it. can scarcely
| be believed that a serious quarrel car
| ever arise when that offer will not BIZ
made by one or the other" ..-s-

New York. May 14.-1n dispatch from
it's correspondent on the island of st. Vim
cent. B. W. l., the Herald says:
Admonitory rumblings and earthquakes
IN the vicinity Of Soufriere began two
weeks ago.
On Monday, May 5, the lake in the old
crater became greatly disturbed. On
Tuesday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
mount ain began series of volcanic eff
forts.
Several earthquakes accompanied these
terrible noises and detonations succeeded
quickly. At Z o'clock in the evening an
immense column Of steam issued from the
crater and lasted until midnight.
Terrific explosions followed on Wednes-
day morning, and at o'clock there was
another sudden violent escape of steam.
This ascended for three hours, when other
material was elected.
| At noon three craters appeared to open
and begin to vomit lava. Six streams at
once ran down the sides Of the mountains,
making an awful scene.
The mountain 1abored heavily for half
| an hour afte the appearance Of the lava,
Fire flashed around the edges Of the era
tiers, and there were tremendous detona-
tions in succession, rapidly merging into
| continuous roar.
This lasted through Wednesday night
and until Friday morning. The thunder
| ings OF. the volcano were heard through
out the Caribbean sea.
The eruption began Wednesday. huge
cloud in dark and dense column, charged
with volcanic matter. rose to height OF
eight miles from the mountain top. Dark
ness like midnight descended and the sui
phurous air was laden with fine dust.
1 A brief rain followed rain of ashes
and stones. There were bright flashes
j numerous and marvelously rapid. These
with laundering. the mountain shocks, the
earthquakes roar, the lava and. falling
4 stones. created a scene OF horror.
i Large areas Of cultiva ion have been
j buried beneath the voseanic matter. OR

Castries, Island Of st. Lucia, Tuesday,
May 1S.-The soufriere volcano on island
OF st. Vincent is still in d estructive
eruption. The terrific cannonade can be
heard hundred miles away. The reports
are followed by columns Of smoke, rising
miles in the air. Immense balls of COL
ored fire also issue from the crater.
Lightning is playing fercely in the upper
sky and the whole northern part of the
island is one mass of travelling flame.
It is impossible to reach the burning
district by land or sea, and there are no
means of estimating the destruction
wrought to life and property.
Kingstown, the capital of st. Vincent is
still safe, though showers Of ashes and

It has just been officially reported that
there were 1000 dead up to yesterday at

>-.~- the Deal.

The projected hardware trust has gone
bump, even before its organization, and
chances now favor the abandonment Of the
plan. It is said that this development
was caused by the refusal of Janney,
Semple, Hill & Co., of Minneapolis; the
Marshall-Wells Hardware company of Du-
luth, and the Simmons Hardware company
of St. Louis, to enter the combine. Their
determination to withdraw was announced
at a meeting held in New York city last
Monday and which was attended by rep
.resentatives of all the firms involved. The
Hardware Trade prints long article this
week devoted to the trust, and predicts
disaster for the scheme, which, it is now
said, has been frustrated by the three
firms named.
The New York meeting at which the
death kne1l of the trust was ounded was
we'll attended. Up to that time there
had been no hirat of trouble, although
the consolidation proposition, without
having definitely pledged themselves in
it's favor
The reason for the stand taken at the
meeting has not been divulged. T. B

the reasons of the firm were private anc
declined to go into them. Mr.. jaime!
himself did not go to New York, the flrn
being represented by Horace NJ. Hill.
