Kingston, jamaica, October 25:-lf anything the
recently reported dissatisfaction in the island OF 81
Vincent at the naugurated by the local peo
pie, the United States, Great Britain and the West
Indies after the first eruption, has increased rather
than diminished Official statements Notwithstanding
the people not pleased The relief funds were
large but administration of them has left untouched
great part of the population. Hulkng negroes, who
Will not work, have been fed on luxures, while the
honest Industrious class has gone hungry and naked
Better class OF people have suffered for want of help
Their condition has been much worse than that OF
the negroes.
1T is quite certain" said prominent citizen in St.
Vincent the other day that the intention of the sub
scrbers to the fund to relieve the wants Of every
one, matter to what class he might belong Some
of the foodstus specially selected by the donors
in the United States for the relief Of the sick and
OF those accustomed to good fare Large quantities Of
these articles were shipped away by the government
to Barbados and Trinidad and being bought there by
British merchants re-mported here, and in some
cases sold to the sufferers for whom they were original
ly intended"
There have been erected a large number Of tiny
huts for the houseess which in violation Of the
rules of health and unfit for human habitaton. They
are described Square boxes. eight feet by eight
feet and eight feet high, with one door and window in
each"
The local critic says that the sight of the packing
cases stuck about the land produces angry amuse
ment, succeeded Immediately by feeling Of dis
gust that vile Interpretation Of the donors in
tentions should have been made"
The government is also denounced for delaying the
settlement of the people the land, and for per-
hitting gross overcrowding in the relief camps which
has led in some cases to disease and death.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the secretary for the colonies,
has been made aware of these complaints and has
directed official of British Guiana to go to St Vim
cent and inquire into the system of relief distribution
No charges of theft brought against the officials
but It is contended that they have been guilty of
bunders, springng from Indifference to the common
people and to lay advices,
French offcialdom is also lying under imputation
as to the management OF the relief funds in Martinique
and there theft is charged as well laundering.

KING AND QUEEN ON PARADE
Long Delayed Coronation Exercises Took Place
in London
MUCH CONFUSION AT GUILD HALL.
The Prineesses and other Royalty Were Hustled
About, While the Prince Of Wales Was Almost
Lost In the Crowd.

London, October 25.-Ting Edward and Queen Alex
andra started the royal progress toward the city
shortly after noon today in somewhat dull weather.
The rain however kept off, and the temperature was
sufficiently mild to make the day enjoyable. Outside
Buckingham palace, which naturally one Of the
greatest centers of attraction, great crowd had
been waiting hours watching the arrivals and de-
partures and the forming up of the procession.
The brilliancy Of the latter greatly detracted
from by the fact that all the troops cloaked The
only touch Of color was from the lance pennants of
the ancers the helmets of the heavy cavalry

panorama in Green park and the historic Mall were
well filled with spectators whose cheering announced
TO the essprvileged public the starting of the state
carriage with their majeses The procession formed
up outside the gate and had already moved OF when
the first carriages containing royal personages and
members of the household emerged therefrom. The
veteran duke of Cambridge. who in carriage with
Princess Victoria, came in for slight cheering but
Lord Roberts and his staff passed almost unnotced.
There was somewhat tedious interval before the
appearance of their ma1esties, who drew forth the
first real cheers of the day they passed through
the of blue jackets from the hrstclass cruiser
Terrible lining each side of the main entrance to the
palace The king wore field marshals uniform with

queen had straw-coored toque and fur col

we'll and continuously bowed their acknowledgements
OF the warm welcome extended to them. The kings

and the troops made a brilliant display in striking
contrast with the general lack of color peryadng the
pageant.

there was nowhere great crush of people, with the
exception of open space like Trafalgar square, where
the city council presented the king with an address OF
welcome and where the Boer generals Botha Dewet
and De la Rey, prominent among the spectators
and at the city boundary Temple Bar where the lord
mayor sheri6s and other city officials welcomed his
majesty and presented him with the oty's sword
At the Mansion house most of the procession
stopped their majestles being accompanied from that
place only by the sovereigns escort and the prince
of Wales the duke of Connaught and other princes

rived without any extraordinary incident.
Owing to the kings carriage being the last some
confusion at the entrance of the Guild hall in
an endeavor to empty the carriages quickly and avoid
keeping his majesty waiting Several of the prncesses
were rather unceremonously deposited on the side.

The Arrangement Between Chile, Colombia and Eoua-

The Nrrangement betWeen OhTe, Colombia ana EoWa'
dor Is Said to Be an Intrigue.
New York October 25r-In reference to the secret
treaties, just made public, between Chile, Colombia
and Ecuador La Prenza publishes editorial saying
that Chile endeavored to gain influence over Colombia
and Ecuador to provoke difficulties with Peru cables
the Herald correspondent at Buenos Ayres Argentina
This occurred while conflict with Argentina seemed
inevitable.
"Chie's proposal was meant to intimidate Peru and
to induce the two republics to declare war; with
the object of preventing Perus interfering with the
Argentine conflict"
La Prenza declares that the concession to transport
troops and the ishmus had for its object the
provoking of interference by the United States be-
cause Chile knew perfectly well that the American
government would not approve of that concession.
La Prenzas editorial adds. The whole matter is an
intrigue, calculated to disturb the peace and the
United States have right to ask for an explanation
Other papers comment the matter in the same
strain.
