MILITARY HOSPITAL DESTROYED
Shock Was Without Any Warming
Occurred at HaIf-past Three Last
Monday Afternoon--lnforn1a-
tion Very Measre.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-The colonial Of
Ace tonight received confirmation ot
the terrible disaster which has over
taken Kingston, Jamaica, in dispat oh
from Hamar Greenwood, NJ. p, sent
from Holland at the east end of the
Island. The telegram says Kingston
has been ruined by an earthquake
which occurred without warning Mon
day afternoon at half past three. A
very great number OF buildings and
dwellings were destroyed either by
earthquake or consequent fire. The
military hospital was burned and for
ty soldiers are reported killed, togeth-
er with several prominent citizen ana
many other Of the inhabitants Of thc
city. Sir James Ferguson is reported
instantly killed, but no other English
men, Canadians or Americans afe
missing. The city is quiet, but disci
plined workers are needed. The gov
ernor of the colony, Sir Arthur Ale~-
ander Sweetenham, assisted by Sir Al
fred Jones is directing affairs.
Kingston, the picturesque capital of
the Island of Jamaica, has been devas-
tated by violent earthquake. Details
of the disaster are lacking, as direc.
communication with the stricken city
has been cut off. Land lines had been
constructed within five miles of thu
city Tuesday evening and from the
meagre reports received it has been
learned that many of the most import
ant building were destroyed and there
has been serious loss of life. King
ston and other points of interest on
the Island, are at this time of the
year thronged with tourists from both
America and England and the greatest
apprehension is felt for the safety Of
many persons who recently arrived.
The most distinguished of these was
party of British statesmen, agricul
tural experts and men of affairs, under
the leadership of Sir Alfred Jones,
Among these were Hall Caine, t.Ie
novelist, Viscount Montmorres, H. c..
Arnold Forster, and others of equal
prominence. The first shock occurred
at $3.50 Monday afternoon and fire i'm
mediately sprang from the wreckage.
Tuesday afternoon the fire was still
burning, although it is believed to be
under control. The city is one of low
lying buildings, clustered along the
shores of one of the finest and most
securely landlocked harbors in tie
West Indies. The population, which
numbers $4,000, is made up largely o.;
blacks.
