CITY BURNED IN TEN MINUTES
BY AWFUL VOLCANIC FIRES

At lie Precheur, five miles north Of
ST. Pierre, canoes with men and wom-
en-, frantic to get away, begged for q
passage on the steamer.
The whole north end of the island
was covered with n silver-gray coating
of ashes, resembling dirty snow. Fur
swept over the steamer, but finally st.
Pierre was reached.
The city of st. Pierre stretched near
ly two miles along the water front, and
half mile back to cliff at the base
of the volcano. The houses of the rich
er French families were built Of stone.
The still smoking volcano lowered
above the ash-covered hills. The ruins
were burning in many places, and
frightful Odors of burned flesh filled
the air.
With great difficulty landing was
effected. Not one house was left In
tact. Viscid heaps of mud, of bright
er ashes. or piles of volcanic stones
were seen on every side. The streets
could hardly be traced. Here and
there, amid the ruins, were heaps of
corpses. Almost all the faces were
downward.
In one corner twenty-five bodies of
men, women and children were
mingled In one awful mass, arms and
legs protruding as the helpless beings
fell in the last struggles OF deaths ag-
ony. Through the middle Of the old
Place Bcrtin ran II tiny stream, the re-
mains of the river. Giant trees, with
roots upwards and scorched by fire,
were strewn in every direction. Huge
blocks and still hot stones were scat
tered about. From under one large
stone the arm of white woman pro-
truded. Most notable was the utter
silence, and the awful overpowering
stencil from the thousands OF dead.
Careful inspection showed that the
fiery stream which so completely de
stroyed st. Pierre must have been COM
posed of poisonous gases, which in
stantly suffocated every one who In
hailed them. and of other gases burn
Ing furiously, for nearly all the VIC
tins had their hands covering their
mouths or were In some other attitude
showing that they had sought relief
from suf ocation. All the bodies were
carbonized or roasted.
A. G. Austen. manager, of the Colo
NAL Bank Of Barbados, landed at st.
Pierre with n party from the British
royal mail steamer Solent. He found
the bank clock stopped at some min
utes before s o'clock. A horse and
buggy and policeman were In dead
group Mt the door.
At the request of s. A. McAllister,
United States consul nt Barbados.
Captain Davis and the Solent were
placed at his disposal by the Barba-
does government. The Solent arrived
at about the same time as the Assocint-
ed Press steamer, and brought to st.
Pierre the colonial secretary, two civil
doctors, two military officers, and DR..
W. l.. Augbinbaugh Of Washington, as
well as corporal and four hospital
orderlies. three trained nurses and
full field hospital outfit. The Barbados
government also sent 100 barrels OF
provisions. one ton of Ice and full
supply of medicine. These We're use
full, but the dead needed only quick
burial.

Fort De France, Martinique, May r.
1t now seems to be generally admit
ted that about 10000 persons lost their
lives as result of the outbreak of the
Mont Pelee volcano at st. Pierre on
Thursday last.
Careful Investigation by competent
government officials show that the ear
lier reports OF the Associated Press
We're accurate,
Briefly put, last Thursday morning
the city Of st. Pierre disappeared with
In ten minutes, in n whirllng vOmlt
from Mont Pelee; 10000 persons were
instantly and horribly killed, and vol
cano, whose ancient crater for more
than fifty years had been occupied by
quiet lake In which picnic parties
bathed, suddenly discharged n torrent
of fiery mud, which rolled toward the
sea, engulflng everything before it.
Then the last of cable communication
was broken, and the doomed city was
Isolated from the world.
The American consul at Guadaloupe,
Louis II. Ayme, has reached the desc
late spot whereSt. Pierre stood and con-
firms the awful story In all Its essen
tial details. From an interview with
Consul Ayme. who Is trained Ameri-
can newspaper man, correspondent
Of the Associated Press learned the fol-
lowing facts:
Thursday mchng the Inhabitants of
the city awOke to find heavy clouds
shrouding the Mont Pelee crater. All
day Wednesday horrid detonatlons had
been heard. These were echoed from
st. Thomas on the north to Barba-
does on the south. The canonadlng
ceased on Wednesday night, and fine
ashes fell like rain on st. Pierre. The
Inhabitants We're alarmed, but Cover
nor Mouttet, who had arrived ut st.
Pierre the evening before, did every
thing possible to allay the panic.
The British steamer Roraima reached
st. Pierre ON Thursday with ten pas
sengers, among whom were Mrs.
Stokes and her three children, and Mrs.
II. ]. Ince. They were watching the
rain OF ashes when, with a frightful
roar and terrific electric discharges, n
tornado of fire, mud and steam swept
down from the crater over the town
and bay, sweeping all before II and de-
stroylng the fleet Of vessels at anchor
of the shore. There the accounts Of
the catastrophe so far obtainable cease.
Thirty thousand corIises are strewn
about, buried in the ruins of st. Pierre,
or else floating, gnawed by sharks, in
the surrounding seas. Twenty-eight
charred, half-dead human beings were
brought here. Sixteen of them are al
ready dead, and only four of the whole
number are expected TO recover.
The Associated Press steamer, char
tered in Guadaloupe, neared Mar
Unique at 6:30 Sunday morning. The
island, with lofty hills, was hidden be-
hind huge veil OF violet or leaden-
colored haze. Enormous quantities of
the wreckage Of large and small ships
and houses strewed the surface of the
sea Huge trees and. TOO often, bodies,
with fiocks of seagulls soaring above
and hideous sharks fighting about
them, were floating here and there.
From behind the volcanic veil came
blasts OF hot wind, mingled with 9TH
ers ice cold.

A Queer Revenge.

On Tuesday of last week, Miss AL.
phonsa Laird married Mr.. Paul Noble
against the wishes of her father, Mr.
Samuel j. Laird, and on Tuesday of
this week he had writ issued against
his daughter. charging her with the
larceny of comb and brush and quilt,
which articles she took away when she
left home. AT the trial it was proven
that the comb and brush had been Civ
EN- to Mrs. Noble last Christmas, and
that the quilt was being made by her.
and she simply took away the uncom-
pleted parts. Squire Lankford. after
hearing the testimony, discharged Mrs.
Noble. Her husband then had peace
warrant sworn out against Mr.. Laird,
and he was put under bail to keep the
peace.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr..
and Mrs. Noble. who are both young
people. The parties are from st. Peter s
district. t.-SomerSet journal.
