Charles Ray and Professor E ]. Dali
ley got in dispute in Medins saloon
at Butte City. last Saturday evening
regarding the disappearance OF some
dancing shoes, Daley intimating that
Ray had taken them. Ray resented
Dailey's remarks by hitting him over
the eye with his fist. Nothing more
occurred until late in the evening,
near midnight, when Daley, it is al
legged, walked up to Ray and struck
him back of the neck. Tie men
clinched. and while they struggled on
the sidewalk the knife was plunged
into Rays leg. They got up and we're
separated, but Ray did not realize
that he was cut. The blood flowed
profusely, however. and he became
too weak too walk. Ray was taken
to hospital and Daley to jail Sun
day morning the attending physician
said that Ray had a very slim chance
for recovery. He was SO weak from
loss of blood and the shock was s.
great that it is not believed he car
live.
Daley is well known in this CITY

GOVERNOR OF MARTINIQUE RE
PORTED TO HAVE SURVIVED.

Washington, May 12.-secretary
Hay has received the following cable
gram, dated May II, from Consul
Ayme, at Guadeloupe, who went to
Fort de France, Martinique, by in
structions from this government:
s'The disaster is complete. The city
wiped out.
Consul Prentiss and his family are
dead. Governor says 80, 600 have per-
ished, so, 900 are homeless and hun
cry. He suggests that the Red Cross
be asked to send Goldfish, -four, beans,
rice, salt meats and biscuits as quick
" as possible. Visits of war vessels
valuable. -
An important feature of Consul
Ayme's cablegram is the reference by
him to the governor as an authority
for the estimate of the loss of life.
Preceding dispatches, including the
official messages received at the French
colonial Office in Paris, reported that
there was no doubt that Gov. Mouttet,
as well as Col. Dain, the military
commander at St. Pierre, had perish
ed.

effected. Not one house was left
intact. Viscid heaps of mud, of
brighter ashes or piles of volcano
stones, were seen on every side The
streets could hardly be traced. Here
and there amid the ruins we're heaps of
corpses. Almost all the faces were
downward.
In ore corner % bodies of men,
women and children were mingled in
one awful mass, arms and legs protrud-
ing as the hapless beings fell in the
last struggles of deaths agony.
Through the middle of the old Place
Berein ran tiny stream, the remains
of the river Gayave. Great trees, with
roots upward and scorched by fire,
were strewn in every direction. Huge
blocks and still hot stones we're scat
tered about. From under one large
stone the arm of a white woman pro-
truded Most notable was the utter
silence and the awful, overpowering
stencil from the thousands of dead.
DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION.
Careful inspection showed that the
fiery stream which so completely de-
stroyed st. Pierre must have been
composed of poisonous gases, which
instantly suffocated every one who in
haled them, and of other gases burn
ing furiously, for nearly all the VIC
tins bad their hands covering their
mouths or were in some other attitude,
showing that they had sought relief
from sufoction. All the bodies are
carbonized or roasted.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1902-05-14

Pierre has ceased to exist, and that
the American consul and his family
have perished. He is Informed that
80, 600 people have lost their lives, and
that so, 900 are homeless and hungry !;
that there is urgent need Of all kinds
of provisions, and the visit Of vessels
for the work Of supply and rescue is
imperatively required.
The government of France, while
expressing their thanks for the marks
of sympathy which have reached them
from America, informs Us that Fort de
T rance and the entire island Of Mar
Unique are still threatened. They,
therefore, request that, for the pur-
pose of rescuing the people who are IN
such deadly peril and threatened with
starvation, the government OF the
United States may send as soon as
possible the means of Transporting
them from the stricken island. The
island of st. Vincent, and perhaps
others in that region, are also serious
ly menaced by the calamity which has
taken so appalling form in Mar
Unique.
I have directed the departments of
the treasury, of war and of the navy
to take such measures for the relief
of these stricken people as lies within
the executive discretion, and I earnest
ly commend this case Of unexampled
disaster to the generous consideration
of congress. For this purpose l rec
ommend that an appropriation OF
$500, 600 be made, to be Immediately
available. Theodore Roosevelt,
