Rear Admiral Davis Sends Message
From Kingston.

From Kingston.
Guantanamo, Cuba, Jan. 19.-Rear
Admiral Davis. who went to Kingston,
jamaica, with the American warships,
has sent wireless report to Rear Ad-
miral Evans at Guantanamo. His dis
patch follows:
Missouri and Indiana anchored at
Kingston at $3.50 a. m. Kingston al
most totally destroyed. -Four hundred
killed; about 500 in hospital. City
now quiet. There were plenty OF
doctors, but short dressings. Have
supplied all could spare"
Rear Admiral Evans first heard OF
the disaster on Tuesday night by
means of an intercepted wireless dis
patch and prepared to send ships to
the scene. Wednesday night he re-
ceived a cable dispatch from Governor
Magoon asking him to send medical
supplies. The torpedo boat Whipple
started instantly at a speed OF TWEEN
ty-flve knots, carrying all the surgical
supplies the fleet could spare. The
battleships Missouri and Indiana fol-
lowed and both are now in Kingston
harbor, but are unable to communi-
cate by wireless with Admiral Evans
owing to an intervening mountain.
Communication, however, is main
tanned through the steamer Colon,
which is lying off the port.
Rear Admiral Evans sent the battle
ships because he knew no English
troops were In Kingston and he feared
lOoting by the negroes there.

Ing, the heavy rains continuing. Sec

message asking that sixty tents be
sent at once for the use of those
driven from their homes. The levee

the United States in the federal cir
cult court in which the members OF
the board of education, the superin-
tendent of schools and all Of the prin-
cipals of the various primary and
grammar schools of San Francisco are
made defendants.

alleges the execution of the treaty
with Japan in 1895, which provides

of residence and travel the subjects
Of each party to the treaty shall enjoy
in the territories of the other "the
same privileges, liberties and rights

People Of Kingston Had Built Many
Brick Houses.


/ London. Jan. ia special dispatch
from Kingston says:
The recent earthquake was more
serious than any which had occurred
In Jamaica for ESQ years. The first
shock was followed by fifteen minor
shocks. The wooden structures stood
well. but the brick houses collapsed
within radius Of six miles. The i'm
munity of 250 years led the Jamaicans
to forget that they were, within the
earthquake zone and they had been
building brick houses. But for this
probably there would have been no
loss OF life.
The defenses at Port Royal were de-
stroyed and the palisades broken
through. Black mud Is coming to the
surface, The conduct Of all classes
Is admirable, but 1t Is hoped that the
British cruiser Indefatigable will soon
arrive here with marines.

To Set Out Big Apple Orchard.

Rev. w. s. Hawkes. Of Caldwell and
sons, Charles #. and F. W., are In
Council and while here will organ
ize a fruit growers association, says
a Council, Ida, correspondent. The
gentlemen will purchase land here
and put out large apple orchards and
many ranchers have already signi-
fled their willingness to plant from
20 to 40 acres Of apples. Practical
ly all the trees which will be plant
ed will be standard winter apples and
fully 500 acres Of new orchards will
be started in Council valley this fall
and next spring.
The high prices prevailing for first
grade fruit, and the fact that at least
80 per cent Of the apples raised here
are "firsts," has caused ranchers in
this valley to be stung by the orchard
bug and it seems to be a good sting
for them.
