who are idle this week will work next
week while another seven hundred will
rest, thus all Will be able to work half
the time until more cotton arrives or the

Facing Death BY Starvation.

Kingston, jamaica August 14.-There
are heartrendinR scenes all over the east
ern and northern portions of tho island
of jamaica At Port Antonio thousands
Of homeless and starving people haVe
sought shelter in the old prison and tpe
few other buildings which survived the
hurricane. Those who could not be mus
accommodated are covering IN the Ire
of ruined walls and dismantled piazzas
The railroad sheds and waiting rooms az
filled with women and children. The
merchants of the place are feeding the
hungry to the best OF their ability. but
the majority are depending upon green
unrIpe bananas, knocked down by the
storm.
Similar conditions prevailed at Annota'a
bav. Buff bay, Orange bay. Port Maria.
Manchionoal, Morant bay, Bowden ana
other smaller sea ports
In the interior the distress Is equally
acute Scarcely a peasants nome Is
standing.
The homes where the peasants families
were living have been literally blown
away and they are contriving rude shei-
ters from fallen trees, PALM boughs and
banana leaves Owing to the continued
unsettled weather with occasional tor
rental rains, these shelters afford practi-
cally no protection.
Efforts are being made at Kingston
to relieve the immediate wants of some
| localities by subscriptions of food and
| clothing, but the efforts inadequate.
| Unless immediate shipments of food
stuffs come from America, deaths by
starvation are inevitable.
The local hospitals in the wind-swept
districts are crowded with the injured
and the death list is increasing. One man
was beheaded at Port Antonio by fly
