From Mr.. Kelsey's record we find he left

EVERY MESSAGE FROM JAMAICA
BRINGS FRESH DETAILS OF
AWFUL DISASTER.
THOUSANDS Of LIVES LOST
URGENT NEED OF SUPPLIES
ENGLAND AND AMERICA PLAN
TO SEND AID.

Kingston, the beautiful capital Of
the Island of Jamaica, was devastated
by an earthquake Monday afternoon
Jan. IA. Fire quickly followed the
shock and practically completed the
work Of destruction.
In its disastrous effects, both to life
and property, the disaster is as great
as the calamity of San Francisco and
Valparaiso.
The destruction of all cable com
munication made it impossible to get
accurate details of the disaster for
several days, but as reports come in
they add to the awful horror of the
calamity.
Estimates Of the loss of life place

sand, among whom are many persons
OF prominence in the community.
The property loss is variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to 25,OoO,-
600.

gy. Kingston Is receiving supplies as
far as possible from the island of ia.
maica itself. The American warships
in the harbor have put on shore all
the foodstuffs and medical supplies
they could spare, and the Jamaican
authorities have taken charge of the
distribution of all provisions in the
city.
Relief on Big Scale.
In addition, relief is being hurried
from outside quarters. The senate
yesterday passed bill authorizing re.
lief for the stricken island; the peopls
of the British island of Trinidad have
sent a first installment of relief; H.
M. S. Indefatigable has left Port of
Spain, Trinidad, with provisions.
clothing and other supple for the
stricken people; the French govern
ment has started a cruiser from the
island of Martinique with supplies for
Kingston; the Mansion House fund in
London is growing rapidly and the
British authorities are perfecting the
details of relief on large scale, and
in addition various other steamers are
either on their way or about to start
for Kingston with food. clothing and
medicines aboard.
Rumor Of Tidal Wave.
The report that tidal wave had
devastated the southern shore Of ia,
maica had not been confirmed up to a
very late hour. Gable communica-
ton with the island has been partially
retored, but, even so, messages from
Jamaica are coming through very
slowly
The total estimate of deaths remain
at about 1000.
Great relief was afforded last night
to all those who have American
friends in Jamaica by a statement re-
ceived from the Office of the cable
company at Kingston that up to z
o'clock Thursday evening no Amerl
cans had been reported killed or SO
verely wounded by the earthquake.
List Of Victims Growing.

seven charred, broken and mutilated
bodies have been taken from the
smoldering ruins of Passenger Train
No. on the Big Four, which was de-
stroyed by the explosion of a carload
OF powder as it passed a freight train
at Sanford, Ind, nine miles west of
here Saturday night. The number of
injured will total at least thirty-five.
The cause of the disaster has not
been fully explained, as several theo-
ries are advanced.
Shock Felt Thirty Miles.
The shock was felt for thirty miles,
many believing it to be an earthquake.
The three coaches of the passenger
train were filed. The entire train, in.
GLIDING the engine, was blown from
the track, the coaches demolished, the
engine hurled fifty feet and the pas
sengers either blown to pieces, con-
sumed by fire or rescued in a more
or'less injured condition.
At least thirty-hve injured, some ia
tally, are at the hospital.
Death List Not Complete.
The full extent of the disaster was
revealed at daylight Sunday morning.
but the death list will not be complete
until workmen now clearing the de-
bris have finished their task.
According to trainmen on the
freight the explosion of the powder
was caused by the conclusion made
by the passing passenger train. An
other theory is that gas escaping from
an oil pipe line nearby entered the car
containing the powder and a spark
from the passing engine ignited the
gas.
Train Hurled to Pieces.
The belief was expressed by one or
two persons that the disaster was due
to the act of tramp or an intoxicated
person, who may have fired a shot
into the car. Cars were literally hurl-
ed to pieces by the terrible force OF
the explosion. Two passenger coaches
and one baggage coach were consum-
ed by fire which broke out In the
wreckage. The freight train which
was hauling the car of powder was
demolished. Not home in Sanford
escaped damage. Fire broke out in the
wreckage, and before the eyes of the
citizens, who rushed from their homes.
many were burned to death before
aid could be rendered them.

The shipping in the harbor is safe.
There have been number of other
shocks since the first disastrous one,
and the repetitions keep the people in
state Of panic.
Death List May Reach 1900.
The number of dead is placed vari-
ously at from 500 to 1900. and the
number of injured runs into the thou
