 Cigar Store
THE HORROR GROWS
Unidentified Buried al Kingston Wireless Message From Admiral Evans Arrived al Washing.
 ion This Morning.


 gram from Governor Swettenham of Jamaica, announcing that Sir James Fergusson's body had been found Tn the ruins of a cigar store and was subsequently buried and adding that no English officials were killed or in jured, was the only additional infor- nation received at the colonial office this morning. The dificulties in the way of communicating with Kings ton, the constantly growing lists of the dead and injured whites, the knowledge that many of the latter will be buried unidentified, and the reports of the threatened engulfment of the remains of the city, combine to increase the anxiety of their rela- tives and friends in this country who are besieging all the possible sources of information in quest of news. Even the big business firms operating with Kingston are unable to obtain replies to urgent requests for details. The cable companies. however, hope that to-day or tomorrow will see an i'm provement in their service. The Di- rect West India Cable cOmpany's steamer is due at Kingston to-day. As the break in the cable is located close to the shore no difiiculty Is anticipat- ed in restoring communication promptly. The oficials here estimate that relief steamers must be arriving at Kingston by now and rapid straightening out of the state of chaos is expected. The Mansion House fund for the relief of the Kingston earthquake sufferers is be- ing we'll supported. and. with the. American and other contributions there will be no lock of supplies or funds for immediate necessities.
 An undated dispatch from a mem- Der of Sir Alfred Jones party now at Kingston received this morning, says:
 "A ghastly procession of carts passing all day long to the cemetery conveyed there $50 victims who were buried in patches of twenty. It is believed that there are 400 more corpses among the wreckage. The body of Sir James Ferguson was buried January 16.
 There have been several further shocks since the great upheaval, but they were less violent. The negroes footed some shops, but on the whole fair order is being preserved. Fires are still burning"
 The war office has posted Il list of the killed and injured among the troops at Kingston, but 1t Is admit tedly incomplete and exclusive of the disaster at the camp hospital. where forty to fifty men of the West India regiment were killed. According to the casualties known at the time of sending on the dispatch. Major W. H. Hardyman and Lieutenant J. Lamont were the only two officers killed. Nine officers were injured. Among the European non-commissioned officers md their families there were seven deaths and four were injured, while thirteen native non-coInmlssioned of- ficers and men are dead or missing.
 A special dispatch from Jamaica. dated yesterday, gives the number of killed of the West India regiment as two officers and twenty-six men be- ing preserved. Fires are still burn- ing.
 The earl of Elgln. secretary of state fS the colonies cabled this morning to the relief committee in New York thanking them for their action. The colonial secretary also forwarded to Governor Swettenham's committee and to the New York committee re- quests for information regarding Ja- maica's requirements and the best point for landing supplies.
