LACK HOMES AND FOOD.
Conditions In jam aica as Result of
Hurricane Most Serious.

Conditions In jam nica as Result or
Hurricane Most Serious.
There are heartrending scenes all over
the eastern and northern portions of the
island of Jamaica. At Port Antonio
thousands of homeless and starving peo-
pie have sought shelter in the old prison
and the few other buildings which sur
vived the hurricane. Those who could
not be accommodated thus are covering
in the lee of ruined walls and disman-
tied piazzas. The railroad sheds and
waiting rooms are filled with women and
children. The merchants of the place
are feeding the hungry to the best of
their ability, but the majority are depend
ing upon green, unripe bananas knocked
down by the storm. The bananas are
boiled in kerosene tins over open fires
made from the debris of destroyed build
ings. This is their sole food supply, and
it will be exhausted in nine or ten days.
Similar conditions prevail at Annotata
bay, Buff bay, Orange bay, Port Maria,
Marchioneal Morant bay, Bowden and
other smaller seaports. In the interior
the distress is equally acute. Scarcely
Il peasants home is standing. Even the
dwellings of the planters, which are built
of substantial stone, have been unroofed
with few exceptions. The misery of the
peasants families is indescribable. Eff
forts are being made ut Kingston to re-
lieve the immediate wants OF some To-
calities by subscriptions of food and
clothing, but the local efforts at best are
totally inadequate. 1t is now estimated
that the loss on the island will reach

F. C. Norris, chairman of the board of supervisors. received a letter yes terday from Supervisor Jake Miller. who is at Long Beach with Hi Eldred and other Phoenix people. MT. Miller. who was not we'll when he left here. wrote that his head was getting better and Mir.

Norris said that the postscript knocked all the strength out of the letter proper.
 In order that the readers of The Re publican should not be bunkOed by these men or any other members of the Phoenix colony at Santa Monica The Republican last night made the follow ing telegraphic inquiry:

 Speaking of the Grand Canyon, MT Hardwick says it is the most wonder full thing he ever saw and he enjoyed his short visit there more than trip to the coast. Having lived in the southwest over thirty years, he can't understand how it is he has never gone to see it before. He says that when he goes east people ask him about the Grand Canyon and when he tells them he has rot seen it they doubt his residene in Arizona. So he made up his mind he would go and see it as ma tier of duty if nothing else. But Ike everybody else he came away dis | 1tftisfied. He couldn't see enough of it. livery time. he, looked at 1t he saw s0inething new and now he is going to visit the big gash in the earth every year till he gets acquainted with it.
 He says the reason Arizona people don't appreciate it is because it is SO close at home. While at the canyon he met ar Eaglishman who said he was
 visiting it for the seventh time and every time he comes he stays from ten
 10 twenty days and sees something new each morning when he gets up. He says he thinks every time he visits
 the canyon that he has seen enough to last him the rest of his life, but he goes back to England and gets to thinking about its wonders. Finally it gets the best of him and he packs up and makes another pilgrimage to Arizona. No body can describe it ana the impress sion 1t makes on one who first beholds
 it. All he can do is to look over the brink and utter the most expressive ex-
 cIamation in his vocabulary. then lapse into silent admiration.
