More than a score of soldiers from the
United States recruiting station in Co
Iumbus. Ohio, went on wild rampage in
what is known as the wholesale district
end caused great havoc by hurting stones,
bricks and sticks through the windows OF
stores saloons and resorts. Upon learn
ing of the depredations committed by the
men, Major Glenn. the commanding officer
at the barracks, sent out a detail of 2OC
soldiers, and thirty of the alleged ma
RAIDERS were rounded ~ and placed in
the guardhouse at the post. Major Glenn
promised the police that adequate punish
ment would be melted out to all offenders.
The action of the soldiers was the result,
1T is said, of a cutting ARRAY which oc-
Cured in Locust alley resort, in which
soldier was worsted by a negro and eject
ed from the place. The following night
the soldier visited the vicinity with
crowd of his comrades with the avowed
purpose, it is said, of wreaking vengeance
upon the negro. Being unable to find
the man concerned in the assault, it is
said the soldiers started in the work OF
destruction. Congregating in front of
grocery store, the soldiers hurled rocks
and sticks through the doors and win
dows. Eight patrons who were in the
place were showered with these missiles.

Kingston Disaster as Bad nv that ut
San Francisco.
The disaster at Kingston, Jamaica,
seems to have been as great as the
calamities at San Francisco and Val
paraiso. The number of dead will
never be definitely known, and the
property loss is likely to reach S25,O0O,-
600. The whole town was left in ru-
ms and hundreds of dead bodies were
taken from the debris. Many bodies
in state of decomposition or charred
beyond recognition had to be burned.
Realizing the possibility of famine,
the people made attempts to loot. The
military, however, at once took pos
session of the foodstuffs. Detachments
of troops with fixed bayonets were
placed on guard. They were concen-
trated in a central position. No one
was allowed to pass through the ruin
ed sections of the city.
Famine and pestilence threatened TO
add their horrors to the situation at

poor was fruit The stencil from de-
caying bodies scattered through the de-
bris threatened an epidemic, and the
few doctors in Kingston, although
working night and day, were unable to
cope with the threatened plague. The
ships in the harbor were crowded With
injured people, and corpses lay in the
streets until thrown into trenches or
burned.
Kingston was overwhelmed by the
earthquake. All the houses within a
radius of ten miles were damaged and
nearly every house in the city was de-
stroyed. Fire broke out after the earth
quake and completed the ruin. The
business section of Kingston is a heap

Fresh details of the disaster came
rom various sources According TO
one report the whole city of Kingston
seemed to shrivel up buildings crash
I'd together and fell in crushed mass
under the first shock The business
streets at the time were well filed
with tourists and no doubt many Of
them were caught in the falling brick
work and buried in the debris. Fire
broke out Immediately after the crash
at three separate points The fire de-
partment station was wrecked, render
ing resistance to the flames impossible.
The confiagration continued unchecked
until Tuesday morning. by which time
the whole business quarter of Kings
ton had been wiped out, the damaged
area comprising about a square mile.
Ali the large warehouses in the low
er part of the city were consumed and
not single house anywhere remained
unchanged, the majority being unfit
for habitation. A conservative esti-
mate of the casualties made by the po-
lice of Kingston places the number of
killed at 1900
The treasury in Harbor street was
standing. but the postoffice and court
houses were in ruins. The government
offices were unsafe for occupation, gov
eminent house was badly damaged the
Colonial Bank was burned out, the
Nova Scotia Bank was heap Of ruins
The Roman Catholic cathedral. the
Paris church and the Scotch, Wesley

At Port Royal, at the entrance of
Kingston harbor, one of the batteries
sank and a gunner was killed. The
ships in the harbor were transformed
into hospitals. The cabins of the
steamer Port Kingston were full of
dead and dying.

President Sends Naval supply ships
TO Kingston, Jamaica.
Without waiting for Congress to enact
the necessary authority President Roose-
Welt dispatched two shiploads of food TO
kingston. The supply ships Celtic and
Glacier, heavily loaded with food for the
Atlantic fleet, the former at Guantanamo,
Cuba, only twelve hours away, and the
latter, in New York, were all ready to
sail. As soon as the news came that
fGmine threatened the survivors OF the
earthquake at the Jamaican capital, the
President, through Secretary of the Navy
Metcalf, ordered the two vessels to sail
at once. The Glacier has on board 4OO,-
600 pounds of fresh beef, 100000 pounds
Of flour, an equal amount of fresh yege-
tables, and a great amount of coffee, can
ned meats and vegetables. and many 9TH
er articles of food. The Celtic has on
board more than 10000 pounds of -four,
10000 pounds of sated beef, $4,000

B. T. TIIIMAN. At the very Degln-
ming of his address Senator Tillman,
launching into personalities, drew satir-
ical picture of the Senate as a minstrel
show. In the character of Pitchfork Ben
he characterized himself as one of the
end men in the show. while opposite him.
at the other end. was playing Senator
Spooner, ''iuggler of international repu-
tation," who also sang bass, alto, So
prano or tenor and was superb in any
role" The minstrel circle between he
peopled with other Senator's who have
spoken on the negro affair.
After completing this picture the Sen
ator suddenly became serious and with
frenzied and fervid oratory repeated re-
marks he had previously made on the sub
ject of lynching negroes.
He prefaced his defense of lynching
with this declaration 1T is but my ma
ture to be blunt and outspoken and |
have never taught my tongue the art of
double dealing, and if there is an vice in
man | abhor more than any other il is
hypocrisy
Mr. Spooner followed and denied that
he held malice toward Mr.. Tillman and
thought his colleague would regret his
words when he saw them in print.
Senator Carmack of Tennessee said
that in all of his experience in the Senate
he had never heard speech so studiously
offensive as that of Mr.. Tillman. He re-
ferred to the fact that he had been in
cluded in the South Carolina Senator's
criticism, saying that Mr.. Tillman's

1T is with no feeling of resentment
say with respect to some men that it is
their misfortune rather than their fault
that they do not know how to speak the
language of courtesy and good breeding, I"

CITY SINKING INTO THE SEA.
Bottom Falls out of IIarbor and New
Peril Is Caused.

Peril Is Caused.
The city of Kingston, rocked by an
earthquake and almost destroyed by
tire, next seemed in imminent danger
of sinking into the sea altogether and
disappearing utterly from the face of
the earth.
With the number of dead still not
definitely known and estimates run
ming from 1000 to 1,500 and a property
loss reaching into millions, fresh alarm
was caused by dispatches from Port au
Prince, Haiti, which said that the bed
of the harbor was sinking and that it
was dangerous for ships to approach.
There are thousands of tourists in the
vicinity of Kingston and This news
from there caused widespread unrest.
The water along the front portion Of
Kingston is said to be 100 feet deep in
many places and that other portions
of the shore are rapidly sinking. The
Plum point and Port Royal lighthouses
are both at the bottom of the harbor.
The navigation channel has materially
changed and in some places the depth
of the harbor has been altered from
forty to 100 feet. A circumstance that
tends to uphold the new danger is a
dispatch from Holland Bay, saying
that the portion of the town of Port
Royal which sank 200 years ago is
again under water.
The news from Havana regarding
the huge tidal wave that inundated the
entire coast near Ja1haicas capital and
changed the jamaican coast line, fol-
lowing closely upon the heels of the
cumulative details of the earthquake
and fire, caused the most profound in
terest in Washington official circles.
Naval officials were stirred. Secretary
Metcalf expressed himself as greatly
shocked at the advices from Jamaica.
Officials of the government have been
inquiring into the minute details of
the topography of the stricken city and
the adjacent coast. Dotted with sugar
estates and country residences, the

the Liguanea mountains. The coast
line reported to be sinking into the sea
presents some of the outlines of

ing the turtles back.
From the sea level on all sides ridges
in series rise toward the central range
of mountains. On the plantations in
some portions of the coast there are
extensive irrigation works The hurri-
cane of November, 1899. wrought great
havoc with the plantations, but these
have since been replanted and eX-
tended. The trend of trade all along
the coast for some years has been to-
ward the United States.

INDICTMENTS FOR LAND FRAUDS

Salt Lake Attorney and Mining Man
Included in Grand Jury List.
Men &C prominence in the business and
professional world are indicted by the
federal grand jury, which made its re-
port in Salt Lake City. The names are
being kept secret until service is secured.
Two men who were served with indict-
ments are Z. W.. Senior, one of the lead
ing land attorneys of the West and Don
G. Robbins, a well-known mining man.
They are charged with conspiracy in ac-
curing coal lands from the government
1t is alleged that they endeavored to ille-
gally secure title to valuable coal areas
The alleged offense consisted of filing on
land, claiming it to be for their own use
and benefit, when in reality it was for the
purpose of tuSaing it over to coal com
pany. 1t is rumored that indictments
were found in connection with the lumber
combine of the Northwest.

that the officials of the Interior Depart
ment conceal the state of affairs from the
President. The reservation schools are
badly oyercrowded, he asserts. as the
