AWFUL CONDITIONS ON MAR
UNIQUE AND ST. VINCENT.
Devastated Islands Where Death Is
Regnant and Pestilence Threatens
Air Polluted by Unburied Dead
Mount Pelee Still Menaces.

Like fitful monsters the volcanic noun
tains of Mount Pelee and La Soufriere
still threaten the islands of Martinique
and St. Vincent and the surrounding
seas. The terrific energy exerted the
week before last, when st. Pierre was
wiped out of existence and the northern
half of the island of ST. Vincent was
turned into. calcined ruin, has ceased;
but the volcanoes still are active inter-
mittently, now belching forth torrents Of
ashes, now sending only clouds of smoke
and ylpor into the air, but at all times
dreadful, black, ugly and menacing.
St. Piarre at times rests beneath a
pail of smoke and sulphurous, impalpa-
BILE ashes. The air is hot and sitting and
the workers amid the ruins of palaces and
huts look toward the volcano nervously,
fearing each moment that another cy-
clone of fire may shoot from the mouth
of the crater, to blast, incinerate and de-
stroy. Several times the searchers have
been driven from the rains by sudden
