THE JAMAICA DISASTER.

An earthquake, followed by fire,
partly destroyed Kingston, a city of
$4,000 inhabitants, and capital of the
island of Jamaica. Many persons were
killed and injured, among the dead,
according to report, being Sir James
Ferguson and 40 soldiers. Many
American and English tourists are in
Jamaica, the latter including a party
of distinguished statesmen and agri-
cultural experts. Direct communica-
tion with Kingston was cut off.
Direct dispatches from Kingston
say that thousands of persons were
killed by the earthquake and the place
is in ruins. The bed of the harbor
is sinking, two lighthouses have dis
appeared and the city is believed to
be slipping into the sea. Famine and
pestilence threaten the survivors and
the need of help is urgent. The house
of representatives passed an emer
gency relief bill.
Rear Admiral Evans landed a force
of American marines at Kingston and
they picketed the ruined city. The
cable agent cabled that no Americans
had been reported killed or injured
Rear Admiral Davis mission of
mercy to stricken Kingston came to
an abrupt and painful conclusion in
consequence of Gov. Swettenham's OBJ
lection to the presence of American
sailors engaged in the work of clear
ing the streets, guarding property and
succoring the wounded and sick, cul
minating in sarcastic and insulting
letter to the admiral peremptorily re-
questing him to reembark all parties
which had been landed. Admiral
Davis promptly sailed away with his
three vessels.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1907-01-24


ors to Jamaica have been leaving the
island as fast as they are able to Sc
cure passage. This thinning out of
the population tends to relieve the
anxiety of the authorities by reducing
the number of mouths to feed.
Among others killed are DR.. Savage,
a prominent medical man and coun-
cillor of the city of Birmingham,
Eng; Mr. Machado, tobacco export
er, and Isaac S. Brandon, a merchant.
Grateful to Admiral Evans.
The Daily Mail and other newspa-
pers pay tribute of gratitude to the
splendid and prompt help given by
Admiral Evans at Kingston, and the
Mail asks regretfully why there was
not a British warship on hand to rem
der this service.
More Details of Disaster.
Kingston, Jamaica.-The awful de-
vastation caused by the earthquake
becomes more apparent as time
passes.
Without warning the earth began to
shake and tremble at $3.50 Monday
afternoon The shocks, which came
from the westward, lasted exactly SO
seconds. The whole city rocked like
a ship in choppy sea. and buildings
reeled and fell eastward. A dense
cloud of dust rose and enveloped
Kingston in semi-darkness. The
shocks were most destructive along
the harbor front, where entire streets
were leveled. Crowds of frightened,
shrieking people streamed northwards
towards the race course, hundreds
with heads and bodies cut and bruised,
covered with blood Those who es-
capped with slight injury reported that
large numbers of persons were buried
under the fallen stores and tene-
mentS.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
AS the dust lifted pillars of smoke
arose in Harbor street, near the par
ish church, and shortly afterwards
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1907-01-24

Missouri and Indiana and the gunboat
Yankton would sail that afternoon.
To press representatives Admiral
Davis said that immediate compliance
with Gov. Swettenham's request was
the only course consistent with the
dignity of the United States.
Objected to Salute.
The friction between the governor
and the admiral began with the ar
rival of the American warships, when
the governor objected to the firing of
a salute in his honor on the ground
that the citizens might mistake the
firing for new earthquake. He also
declared there was no necessity for
American aid-that this government
was fully able to preserve order, tend
the wounded and succor the homeless.
Rear Admiral Davis, however, land
ed parties of blue jackets, who pa
trolled the streets, cleared the debris,
RACED ruins, attended many of the
wounded and won the highest praise
from citizens and military officers for
excellent work.
FFODdDIy OOO OCdOs
The total number of known dead is
about $50; and it is believed there are
at least $50 persons who have not
been accounted for.
Food is coming into the city from
the country districts, but famine is
greatly feared.
The filthy conditions of the camps
on the parade grounds and race
course, where thousands of persons
are huddled under improvised tents
rooted over and sheathed with palm
leaves, causes grave apprehension of
an outbreak of typhoid fever.
At present there is a most urgent
need for tents for several thousand
persons, but the government is not
supplied with these and is not making
endeavors to obtain them. Rain is
now threatening, and if it should come
It will involve untold suffering on the
homeless thousands.
No Americans Killed.
Notwithstanding state department
was furnished Friday with copies of
cabled reports that the Western
Union has received from it's agent in
Havana regarding the Kingston earth
quake. In one of these reports it was
stated that the latest information
from Kingston was that no American
was killed or seriously injured up to
seven o'clock January II.
The report further stated that it
was estimated that the number of

SURELY WINS THE PALM.
One Mean Man Who Outdoes Some
Others.

Many stories have been told OF
mean men, such as he who used
wart for collar-button and he whose
birthday gift to his son consisted in
washing the windows so that the
lad might watch the cars go by.
This man, however, seems to have
won the palm:
There was an extremely mean man
in New Hampshire, who was the pro-
prietor of a hotel BY his direction
rules were posted in the hostelry for
bidding almost every conceivable priv
ilege to those not guests of the place.
There was absolutely no chance for
the casual loafer to get newspapers,
pen, ink, stationery, etc. There We're

The only wharves left are those of
the Hamburg-American, the Direct
Mail and the Royal Mail Steamship
companies. All the lumber yards and
stocks have been destroyed.
Many painful sights were witnessed
as rescues were being made. and
when dead bodies were being extracat-
ed from the ruins. A number of me-
groes, trying to escape through open
windows, became damned therein by
falling timbers and were either killed
outright or burned to death.
Bodies of the dead are being trans
ported by lighter across the harbor
to the Palisades and buried we'll away
from the city.
Many Flee to Ships.
Immediately after the first shock
there was mad rush of refugees to
the sea front, and 700 persons were
rescued by being taken on board YES

Since the fateful Monday the visit
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1907-01-24

People rushed wildly about, follow
ing the first earth tremor, which
lasted several minutes, and succeed
ing shocks, which came quickly but
which were of lesser force, added to
the terror The crash of topping
houses added to the general fright
and it was some time before the peo-
pie recovered and set to work to
rescue the unfortunates who had been
caught in collapsed buildings.
The general hospital was not seri-
ously damaged by the earthquake and
there the injured were taken as fast
as they were recovered.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA
Covered with Yellow Sores-GreW
Worse-Parents Discouraged-CU
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and q
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called it.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right.
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. 8 said it was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
a week One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one Of
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 3. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. l saw one of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so I went and purchased
set of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. OF course it could not
restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time / am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

Kingston had fire which destroyed
property to the value of $2,500,000,
and in 1843 another fire caused dam

the island in 1915. The whole island
was destroyed, hundreds of houses
were washed away, vessels were
wrecked and about 1000 persons
were drowned.
In August, 1880, a cyclone passed
over the eastern half of Jamaica, de-
stroying nearly all the wharves in the
harbor Of Kingston and also caused

flames shot into the sky. 1t was then
perceived that fire would complete the
work of the earthquake. In half an
hour the flames were spreading from
block to block in the business sec
tions. The fire department was una
BILE to stay the confiagration owing to
the inadequate supply of water, the
earthquake having broken the mains.
Fortunately northeast wind was
blowing at the time which confined
the confiagration to the south portion
of the city. The fire ragged all night
and ultimately spent its force Tues
day forenoon.
The buildings in the upper portion
of the city were uninhabitable and the
residents sought refuge in the public
parks or on lawns adjoining the
wrecked homes.

dead would reach 1000. These re-
ports were furnished the state depart

Western Union, upon it's request for

patches and being overwhelmed by
inquiries from persons in this country
