ISLAND OF ST. VINCENT Is
VISITED BY FIERY DEATH

Kingston. Island Of ST. Vincent, B.
w l., Saturday, May 10, via
Castries. Island of St Lucia,
B. w. l., May 11.-After nu-
merous earthquakes, during the preced-
ing fortnight, accompanied by subter-
ranean noises in the direction of Sou
friere volcano. on the northwest part
of the island. a loud explosion from the
crater occurred Monday last. and the
water in the crater lake assembled in a
stupendous cloud Of steam and explod-
ed heavily.
The noises grew louder continually
until Wednesday morning. when the
old crater, three miles in circumfer-
ence. and the new crater formed by
the last eruption. belched smoke and
stones, forcing the residents of WALTZ
bou and Richmond valley, beneath the
volcano, TO flee to Chateau Belair for
refuge.
The thunderOus noises. which were
continually increasing. were heard In
neighboring islands, 200 miles away.
At midday the craters elected enor-
nous clouds of steamy vapor. rising
majestically eight miles high and ex-
panding into wonderful shapes, re-
sembling enormous caulihowers. gi-
gantic wheels and beautiful flower
crosswise with vivid flashes, with
lightning awning the beholder. The
mountain labored to rid itself Of a mass
Of molten lava, which later flowed
over in six streams down the side of
the volcano. and the greater noises fol-
lowing. united in one continuous roar
all evening. through the night to
Thursday morning. accompanied with
black rain, falling dust and favilla
scorial. attended with midnight dark
ness all Wednesday, creating fear and
anxious suspense.
On the morning Of Friday there was
a fresh eruption and elections of fiery
matter. more dust covering the island,
in some places two feet deep.
The crater is still active as this dis
patch is sent. and great loss OF life is
believed to have occurred. The lava
has destroyed several districts. with
their livestock, people are fleeing to
this town, streams are dried up and in
many places a food and water famine
is threatened. The government is feed
ing numbers Of sufferers from the out
break. General physical changes have
taken place in the neighborhood of the
SOufriere.

Several districts have not yet been
heard from, and the scene of the erup-
ton is unapprOachable. Every hour
brings sadder news. The nurses and
doctors are OverWOrked. 1t is impossi-
bic to give full details at present. As
a result Of the disaster on this island
all business has been suspended for
three days. The public mind is still UNI
settled, fearing further disaster.
Among the deaths are whole families
whose corpses are in several places,
still lying unburied. The dead win be
inferred in trenches.
Over 200 Deaths Reported.
Reports from the island OF St. Vim
cent say that up to the afternoon Of
Friday last over 200 deaths had oc-
CURED there owing to the volcanic out
break in that island Definite news,
however. is lacking.
Many estates were destroyed and
steam and ashes were belched forth
from Z in the morning until $50 at
night The eruption is now invisible
at Kingston. Huge dust clouds were
blown eastward. Great distress pre-
walls at st. Vincent, where there are
many injured persons. It is believed
that about 5000 persons have lost their
lives at St Vincent. The majority Of
the corpses are still unburied.
The British royal mail steamer Solent
has gone from Barbados to Marti-
nique with supplies and doctors. From
the island of Trinidad, the British
royal mail steamer Kenney has gone to
Fort de France. The British second
class cruiser Indefatigable is on her
way from Trinidad to ST. Vincent with
stores for the relief of the sufferers
there.
France (Martinique) is threatened.
Great tension prevails everywhere
throughout the West Indies.

an American cruiser to the island,

How Clancy Caught the Maltese Cat,

Professor William B. Scott Of Princeton,
who presided as toastmaster at the dinner
Of the American Philosophical society Of
Philadelphia recently. announced to the
hundred or more famous men who sat
around the tables that he occupied his
post 1nwillingly. and then. to prove his
point and show how little he Teiished the
position in which he was standing, he
told this story.
Tim and Clancy were walking through
the wilds Of New Jersey, bound for New
York when Tim spied a wildcat crouched
I'm the branches Of a tree near the road.
Clutching his companion by the arm, and
pointing eXcitedly TO the beast, he said:

did absolutely tumble. Clancy grabbed
her. When there came a moments lull
in the cyclone Of fur and Clancy ana

looking on from above, called down.
