KINGSTON IS ONLY.
CITY DAMAGED
Report From Holland Bay
Say Other Towns of ISL
and Were Not Injured
LEADING MEN KILLED

HOLLAND BAY, Jamaica, Jan. IL
Advices received from various parts OF
the island show that Kingston was
the only place damaged by the recent
earthquake. All the other towns or
Jamaica are in good condition. NO
further earthquake shocks have been
felt in Jamaica.
All reports agree that the entire
business section of Kingston has been
destroyed, mainly as the result or the
fire which started Immediately after
the earthquake. Port Antonio may be
said to be unharmed, though the poorly
built town hall was partly destroyed.
The Litchfield Hotel is unin5ured and
the clerks and employees of the estab-
lishment are safe
The destroyed section of Kingston
includes that portion of the town be-
tween East and West streets, from
Tower street to the water front All
the piers are down with the exception
of that of the Royal Mail Company
and that of the Government railway.
The Myrtle Bank Hotel, favorite
resort for Americans, was completely
of Nathan, Sherlock & Co. and the
other buildings in the vicinity were
consumed by the flames.
HARDLY A BUILDING LEFT
The Elder-Dempster Company's
steamer Port Kingston and the Ad-
miral Sampson, belonging to the
United Fruit Company, are safe in
Kingston harbor. The Port Kingston
is being used as a hospital. Light
ers of the United Fruit Company did
good work in rescuing people who
were pushed overheard from the whs ri
by the maddened crowds seeking shell
ter from the flames. About 700 were
saved in this way.
Hardly a building is left standing in
the entire city of Kingston, and every
one not demolished is uninhabftable.
Several prominent business men are
among the dead, including A. Nathan
and Charles Sherlock, the leading mer-
chants of the city, and many of the
clans.
The Government Railroad from King
ston to Port Antonio was not damaged
to any great extent.
ST. ANDREWS HOTEL BURNED
The Constant Springs Hotel. a spa
cious building in st. Andrews, six
miles from here, was destroyed, mainly
by fire.
Many distinguished persons were
stopping here, Including all the dele
gates to the West Indian Agricultural
conference, Wnlcn was 10 nave Helu lls
sessions at Kingston this week.
The Hotel Tichfield is said to be the
only prominent hotel which has not
sustained injuries
No Americans have been killed or
injured so far as known, but one re-
port says that eight American tourists
are among the missing. Many of the
natives are in danger of starvation
unless they receive immediate assist
ance.
That portion of the town of Port
Royal which sank two centuries ago is
again under water.

Supplies to Be Started
From New York Today

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE first cargo
of supplies to be sent from New York
in aid of the stricken people of Jamaica
will be shipped tomorrow. President
Cleveland Dodge of the New York State
branch of the National Red Cross was
authorized by the national organization
today to expend $4,000 in the purchase.
The Red Cross contributions will be
supplemented by a quantity of food,
medicine and other supplies gathered
by a committee of steamship and COM
mercial firms.
The Hamburg American, the United
Fruit Company and the Royal Mail

received a dispatch reporting the safety
of Alfred Austin of the Colonial Bank
at Kingston, whose fate had been in
doubt.
Reports from Austria and Switzer-
land show that seismic disturbances
occurred there on Monday at about the
same time as in Jamaica, indicating
widespread unrest of the earth's crust
That there is a general state of un-
rest in the earth. of which the Jamaica
disturbance was only one instance, is
the belief Of Professor Belar, the ia
nous seismologist and astronomer at
the Laibach Observatory. His instru-
ments registered the jamaican disturb
ance, but give other proofs of terres-
trial phenomena in the shape of shocks
elsewhere, hailstorms and rock falls.

West Indies are following
suit.
Should the reports of the
subsistence Of Kingston har-
Dor be confirmed a new peril
will be added, and further
dispatches on this subject
are awaited with the great
est anxiety.
According to further dis
patches received here from
Jamaica, dated Thursday,
the total list of dead at
Kingston is expected to ap-
proach 1000. Many bodies
in a state Of decomposition
or charred beyond recogni-
ton had to be buried.
Fortunately, the water
supply is holding out.
The American battle
ships Missouri and Indiana
have arrived in the harbor
Thirty-hve out of a total
of hfty-hve employees in a
tourist bureau were killed.
CHANNEL is CHANGED
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 by
from forty to sixty feet.
1t is reported that the
Hamburg American steam
er Prinz Waldemar, which
reached Kingston from New
York January 3, is ashore
at Plum Point.
A conservative estimate
of the casualties made by
the police of Kingston place
the number of killed at
1900. This estimate is likely
to be largely increased when
a thorough search is made
Of the wrecked buildings.
The treasury, on Harbor
street, is reported standing,
but the postofhce and court
house are in ruins. The
Government offices are un-
safe for occupation, the Gov
ernment House was badly
damaged, the Colonial Bank
was burned out and the
Nova Scotia Bank was a
heap of ruins.
The Roman Catholic Cathedral. the
parish church and the Scotch, Baptist
and Wesleyan chapels have disappeared
and the theater was destroyed.
At Port Royal one Of the batterie:
sank and a gunner was killed. The
ships in the harbOr were transformed
into hospitals.
The cabins of the steamer Port
Kingston were fun Of dead and dying
