here today on board the steamer Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, which sailed from the
stricken city on Thursday afternoon last,
the third day after the earthquake all
are unanimous in condemning what they
termed the Inactivity and utter inet-
ficiency" of the English authorities ON
the island during the first days following
the disaster. For three days, or up to
the day the Prinz Eitel sailed, they said
there was no semblance of order, and
nothing definite done in the matter of re-
lieving the sufferings of many of the
wounded.
1t was asserted that men and women
who sought shelter on board the British
steamship Port Kingston, which was
chartered for Sir Alfred Jones' party
from England. were put ashore, and that
the plea of the American refugees that
women of their party be allowed at least
the privilege of sleeping on the open
decks of the Port Kingston was refused
with great incivility."
The injured who had been taken on
beard the same steamer for an asylum
were put ashore the day following the
earthquake, Tuesday, and were left ON
the railway wharf until cared for by the
American naval authorities on Thursday.

great relief the arrival of the American
squadron brought to the terror stricken
people, AID were amazed to hear of the
