London, May 25.-The visit of Prince
Henry of Prussia to Dublin and his re-
fusal to receive a deputation of Germans
created rumpus, it is said which shows
no signs of abating. The address of the
Germans included the signatures of Count
Won Stoberg and two well known German
artists, while the professor of German at
Trinity college, Dublin, acted as chair
man.
One of the members of the delegation Is
quoted as saying:
zone would naturally have expected
that, as in New York, one of the first
thoughts of the prince and his captains
would have been to shake hands with
countrymen domiciled in Ireland"
The Irish Times, the government organ,
expresses the hope that some satisfactory
explanation will be forthcoming, for con
the face of it the princes treatment of his
fellow countrymen compares very unfavor
ably with the almost undignifed atfabil-
ity he displayed during his visit to the

Fort de France, Island of Martinique
May 2S (Monday) Mont Pelee is again
in eruption. Huge, inky black clouds are
rolling over Fort de France in great
masses, in which there are peculiarly vivid
lightning flashes. The inhabitants are
now focking into the great square of the
town. If the demonstration increases a
panic is imminent. A heavy surf has been
beating on the shore for the last two hours
and an enormous, grayish yellow cloud,
at a great height, is dimly visible in the
direction of Mont Pelee. The night is in
tensely dark and the stars are only faint
ly visible. Fort de France is in no dan
ger from the volcano, but there is consid-
cradle apprehension of a panic in the
night time should the grayish yellow
cloud reach here and ashes and stones
begin to fall. There are no noises from
the volcano at present.
Roseau, Island of Dominica, B. w. L.,
May 2S.--During the whole of Monday
night ashes from the volcano on the isl
and of Martinique fell here in greater
quantity than has been experienced since
