devoted labors had secured. From this po-

REFUGEES IN BOSTON
MORE DENUNCIATIoN OF SWEET
TENHAM By TRAVELLERS.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON. Mass. January 2S-The steam
ship Admiral Dewey of the United Fruit
Company's line. docxed this morning after
boisterous passage from Kingston and
Port Antonio. Jamaica. with about forty
FIVE passengers, mostly refugees from the
stricken island. in her cabins. Some Of the
refugees lost everything they had, including
their clothes. in the earthquake at Kingston
and came home on transportation issued to
them by the United States vice consul, Mr..
Orrett. The Kingston refugees wore cloth
Ing which had been loaned or given to
them, and the garments for the most part
did not fit.
Nearly. all the passengers on the Dewey
were American citizens The things they
had to say about Governor Swettenham OF
Jamaica and his treatment of Admiral
Davis of the American navy, whose sailors
and officers were ordered away from the
noble relief work they were doing in Kings
ton, were sufficient to modify the tempera-
ture of the northwest wind which swept
across the harbor around quarantine. Gov
ernor Swettenham was roasted to turn by
all passengers on board. and everything in
the line of condemnation that could be
thought of was said about him.
In addition to the indignation the pas
sengers Of the Dewey felt in regard to Gov.
SWettenham some of them had bruises,
and none of them had quite recovered from
the scare they got in a storm the steam
ship encountered Saturday night while off
HatteraS.
Business Is Demoralized.
The Dewey brought a big cargo of ba-
nanas and other tropical fruits equal to the
shipments usual at this time Of year. The
passengers said the fruit crop had not been
affected by the earthquake, but that all
other kinds Of business in the vicinity of
Kingston were demoralized, and some of
them did not think they would pick up
again for many years to what they had
been in the past, because most Of the busi-
ness men there who weren't killed outright
were ruined by the earthquake and could
not start up again, and others who might
find the means to go into business in the
old ruined city haven't sufficient confidence
in the stability Of the earth there to invest
any money in it,
A. w. Eaton, writer of Hartford, Conn,
who had been reported in this country
as killed in the earthquake, said 1t
is believed in Jamaica that not less
than 5000 lives were lost outright in the
earthquake and that about 5000 more will
die. Mr. Eaton said that the surgeons there
had told him that 80 per cent of the injured,
who were operated upon principally for am
putations, would die. There were. in round
numbers, 5000 Of these major operations.
Mr. Eaton also said that he heard Of a
number Of Americans having been killed
by the earthquake, but it was impossible to
get their names.

the Commissioners at a public hearing to-
day regarding a recent decision Of the Dis
trict fire marshal to the effect that the
knights of Columbus Hall must erect fire
escapes to conform with the new fire es-

law. Pending the decision the license for
the hall has been held up. and Mr.. Harring-
ton appealed 10 the Commissioners to

WORK OF G. 8. HANKS.
Senate Asks Interstate Commission for
Information.

Information.
Senator Culberson secured the adoption
of the following resolution by the Senate
today:
whereas, according to press accounts,
Charles 8. Hanks, in a recent address de-
livered before the Boston chamber Of COM
merce. said among other things:
e" Since last June I have been at work
in Washington at the interstate commerce
commission. and have spent several thou
sand dollars of the good money OF the
United States in clerical services to show
that the freight and passenger rates of
this country can be reduced 10 per cent
without affecting the dividends on the stock
Of any railroad or the wages of any en-
ployes. In connection with this work GER
tain other facts have come to my attention
which may interest you
Therefore, be it Resolved, that the
interstate commerce commission be, and
Is hereby, directed:
First. To inform the Senate whether
said Charles s. Hanks is employed In any
capacity in connection with said commits
sion, and. II so, in what capacity, by
whom employed and from what appro-
Second To send to the Senate a full
statement Of the facts found by said
Hanks. which show or tend to show that
the freight and passenger rates can be
reduced as stated by him in said address. -
Senator Aldrich suggested that the names
of all the employees engaged In this work
be called for. He said his impression was
that Mr.. Hanks was not employed by the
commission, but either by the Department
of Justice or the Department of Commerce
and Labor, and he believed the proper way
to get the Information was by calling on
the President.
The statement of Mr.. Hanks was regard
ed by Mr. Hale as quite remarkable" es-
pecially about the expenditure of money,
and he wished the resolution divided so that
a report on that portion could be available
at once He suggested that a report on
the matter of rates would take the commits
sion an indefinite time and no response to
the resolution would likely be made at the
present session.
AS Mr.. Culberson urged that the meas
ure go through as he had drafted it, that
action was taken.
Mr.. Hanks has been employed at the in.
terstate commerce commission on a special
line of work, but beyond that the commits
sion was not inclined to discuss the matter
today.

twenty have applied for re-enlistment.
Each Of these men has asserted his entire
innocence Of wrongdoing in connection with
the Brownsville affair and his willingness
to meet any reasonable test to prove that
assertion. These applications have been
pending nearly two months. but 1t is only
within the past few days that any Of them
have been seriously considered by the on
cials Of the War Department.
Each Case on It's Merits.
It has now been decided to examine sepa-
rately each Of the candidates. and take ac-
ton on each case on its merits.
To that end. instructions have been given

ders-and Maj. L. e. Goodier, judge advo-
cate Of the Department of the Gulf at At
lanta, has been ordered to Fort Sill, Okla
homa territory, to take the testimony OF
about q dozen OF the discharged soldiers
