aged q years, a native of Martinique,
and was Il prisoner in the dungeon Of
st. Pierre when the Inflated city was

Boston Feb. 24.-There are plenty OF
funds available in this city to relieve
the distress of Joseph Siberace. the
survivor of the st. Pierre disaster,
who arrived in New York, today, in
destitute condition.
Shortly after the catastrophe, the
citizens of Boston contributed over
$25,00e for the benefit of the survivors
very small portion of this fund has
been used from the fact that there was
scarcely. any one left to succor. 1t is
not likely that the custodians of the
fund will turn over to Siberace the
whole or any part of it, although it is
proahle that every effort will be made
to relieve his distress.
