Providence, March 6.--Americans are to have a hand in the work of making Kingston. the partly ruined capital of Jamaica, greater and safer. This is one of the results of, the Brown University scientific expedition, headed by Professor Charles Wilson Brown, the well known geologist, which started for Jamaica as soon af- tetr the earthquake as plans could be perfected and which has just returned home loaded down with facts, figures and honors.
 This compliment paid to the Ameri- can expedition is regarded as the cli- max of the reaction following the Swettenham outbreak. The honor was entirely unsought by the visiting sci- entists. It was rather thrust upon them by those who were apparently glad of an opportunity to secure ex- pert opinion regarding a difficult sit- uation; and, besides, 1t reflected the popular sentiment which condemned Swettenham's action.
 While the expedition was conducting it's investigation into the cause and effect of the cataclysm, which was the most disastrous one experienced in that quakv region since the seventeenth century, when Port Royal was de- stroyed. the local government solicitor and others concerned In the drafting of new and more suitable highway and buildings laws in Kingston consulted with Professor Brown, who recom-

Cincinnati, March 16.--With the Ohio River rising here at the rate of about one-tenth of foot an hour. and the crest of the flood not yet passed, it is practically certain stage of sixty three feet will be reached. if not exa ceeded.
 Weather Forecast officer Bassler ex- pressed doubt today that the river would go quite to the January mark of s5.2. as he predicted yesterday. but said 1t would surely 50 to 63 feet. The river will continue to rise tonight ana tomorrow, and by Monday turn vii come The water has crippled a few street car lines which traverse the lower parts of this city, but no exten- sive damage has been reported.
 Up the river the situation is more serious This is especially true at Marietta and Portsmouth, where the crest of the flood Is passing. At Ma rietta two-thirds of the city is flooded and there is considerable suffering among the inhabitants. The people are in dire straits as nearly all the gro- ceries in the town have been Hooded. Flour is being delivered to the people on the hillsides, who are baking bread for those who have been driven from their homes.
 At Portsmouth, two leyees broke, let ting the water encroach on territory heretofore flooded. Two other levees have been weakened by the water sweeping through and will also go. Only one is considered safe that in the east end of the city. The breaking of these ieyees have compelled hum dreds of people to vacate their homes andsparalyzd manufacturing concerns.

of the havoc-playing waves, together with the comparatively small territo- " affected, indicates, the expert says. that the origin or "focus' of the earth quake was neither far distant from the island nor deep-seated. Probably 1t occurred two or three miles below the earth's surface.
 There is direct relation, says Pro- lessor Brown, between the depth of the seismic focus and the extent of the area affected. Therefore, the conclu- sion that in the Jamaican case the origin of the earthquake was not very deep-seated. In the case of the San Francisco earthquake 1t was much deeper, for the waves caused by 1t were felt throughout an area with q radius of 1000 miles. During the earthquake which wrecked Port Royal in 1892, not long after the British took possession of the Island. portion of the town, which is situated at tho western end of an elght-mile sandspit, sank Into the sea A similar depression, thAlgh less extensive, took place at Port Royal during the recent earthquake. The casemates of the British shore batteries were brought down to the waters edge, rendering them useless. As 3 result of this land drop. cocoanut trees that formerly graced green fields are now to be seen forlornly waving their plumes oyer the water hundred yards off shore.
 The high altitude of Kingston. which stands on Liguinea Plain. .ortunate'y tends to make 1t somewhat earthquake proof. Professor Brown reports that the greatest disturbance at Kingston was off shore or along the shore line.

 Pittsburg. March 15--After three days of business stagnation caused by a re- markably rapid rise in the Mononga- lfela, Allegheny and Ohio Rivers, which inundated more than ten square miles of this city. conditions have about as- stunned their normal trend. With the exception of 1owlands below the city. the water has subslded to It's natural course.
 The task of cleaning up the streets in the down town district was completed tonight. Large forces of men are clear ing the interiors of buildings and re- pairing them for resumption of bus mess Monday morning.
 Several mills and manufacturing es- tablishments began operations tonight. Within two or three days 1t Is thought all the mills will have resumed. The loss in the Pittsburg disrrict Is esti- mated at s10.000, 1000. Reports from up-river points increase the damage by the flood in Western Pennsylvania at least s50.000.
 The exact number of fatalities caused by the high water has not yet been ascertained. A score of persons are known to have met death in the flood. Today additional reports of many deaths were received by the cor oner from the surrounding towns However, the reports have not been verified.
