Fort de France, Island of Martin
ique, May 14.-The United States gov
eminent tug Potomac has left here for
the Island of st. Vincent, where condi-
tions are reported to be worse. La
Soufriere, on St. Vincent, was in full
eruption May 10. A stream of stone
and mud half mile wide was then is
suing from the volcano. Stones two
inches in diameter fell IL miles away.
At Kingstown, the capital of the ISL
and, the ashes were two inches deep.
Seven hundred dead were reported
Sunday, May II. It is estimated that
the total number of deaths on st. Vim
cent reaches 1000. Most Of the seven
estates on the island have been
burned to ashes and it Is authentic
ally reported that two earthquakes
have occurred there. It is believed
the submarine cables at st. Vincent
have been broken by the disturbance.
The present volcanic eruption on st.
Vincent Is the first since 1872.

TO PREVENT DISEASE.
Burial Parties at St. Pierre Working
Night and Day.

- - -S 80 &. !
Burial Parties at st. Pierre Working
Night and Day. q
New York, May 13.-Relief parties
have ventured into the streets of St.
Pierre, says q Castries (St. Lucia)
dispatch to The Herald. It was not
expected that survivors would be
found and so there has been no disap-
pointment at the mournful reports
that have been returned.
: Piles of dead in the vicinity of the
site of the cathedral tell a story of an
attempt to find shelter in the great
structure of worship. Men and women,
panic stricken at the cataclysm, turn.
ed in the moment of their despair to
the cathedral and were apparently
overcome before they could reach it's
doors.
So far the search has been ,hindered
by the fires that are still raging and
the investigators are in great danger.
From the positions Of the bodies the
opinion is formed that many were
overcome almost before they realized
the extent of the peril. Many of the
bodies are in lifelike positions, as
though death had come with, breath,
as, indeed, may have been the case.
Steps have been taken to prevent
disease from resulting from the disas-
ter. Burial parties are working night
and day, but it is impossible that the
dead can be cared for as their friends
would wish.
Military rule is established in the
town to prevent vandals from work
ing. Such property as has not been
destroyed will be protected. One of
the great misfortunes arises from the
fact that the storehouses of provisions
have been swept out of existence.
The dearth Of provisions Is begin.
ming to- be felt throughout the island.
Numerous families are completely
ruined and even shelterless, while the
means at the disposal of the authori-
ties are much too inadequate to cope
with the distress.

The Wearing af Amnlefa,

Who wore the first amulet it would
be impossible to say, but the adoption
of talisman to ward off evil is of
very ancient origin.
Phylacteries. the Greek word for am.
ulets, were worn by the Israelites, to
which allusion is made in the Scrip
lures. These phylacteries were mar
row strips Of parchment on which
were written passages from the Old
Testament. A strip was placed in a
small leather box and bound to the
left elbow by narrow strap. There
was smaller phylactery for the fore
head, the box for which was about an
inch square,
The word amulet Is of Arabic origin
and Implies thing suspended. ANU

stone, found in the desert of Arabia,
was worn as talismin against en-.

pended it around the neck. 1t was q

searching for it being midnight.
