mud and fire descended on the city and
the roadstead The land heaved and
swelled and terrible CONFUSION seized
the sea. The waters rose in a huge
threatening mass as though they would
engulf the. island Then darkness grew
dense and the pitiful scene was hidden
from view.
The first rescue parties TO reach St.
Pierre arrived there on Sunday They
found desolation and ruin and death. On
the wharves, on the streets, in the houses,
the churches, the marts, death was ev-
erywhere. Even in the waters of the
harbor bodies were floating, with sharks
giutted with their feast on human flesh,
swimming playfully around.
Throughout the city the searchers
found no living ching. nor a single house
that escaped the fury of the volcanic
CONFUSION. And, 20 escape pestilence,
the bodies Of the dead are being cremated
day and night. To facilitate combustion
and to destroy as far as possible the
sickeniug odor Of human flesh, the funeral
pyres are kept constantly soaked in coal
tar and petroleum.
The number of people who persisted out
side of St Pierre is still coajectural. The
town Of lie Precheur, onlg short dis
lance from St Pierre, escaped destruc-
ton. and its 5000 people, making their
way to the seacoast. were taken off in
vessels and conveyed to Fert de France.
Over a large area the eruption worked
destruction Rivers ovesfiowed their
banks and spread over the surrounding
country. Hollows were elevated and
hills depressed, and the conhguration of
the country was changed. In making re-
pairs to the cable near st. Pierre, the
French cable ship Pouyer Quertier found
it sunk in 1900 meters of water, where
as. formerly. it was only 200 meters be-
low the surface-a difference Of nearly
5000 feet.

Agricultural Department to Ply Lady

The Department of Agriculture is pre-

country with its natural enemy, the lady

Assistant Botanist Marlatt has returned
from the Orient, where he sought the
original home OF the dreaded scale. Far

where European plants had not pene-
trated. ne found the scales and also the
ladybugs which kept the scales in sub
lection and permitted the native plants
to flourish.
Mr. Marlatt started home with good
supply of these ladybugs but only six
teen survived on arrival in this country,
and fourteen of those subsequently died.
The two remaining, however, were nurs-
ed carefully by the government, with a,
view to fighting the scale in the same
manner as in China. There now are fifty
of them, requiring the constant gathering

to be exterminated from this country, ex-

had been ratified by the people elections
were held and Tomas Estrada Palma
was elected President Of the new repub-
