Fresh details of the disaster came
from various sources. According to
one report the whole city of Kingston
seemed to shriyel up, buildings crash
ed together and fell in a crushed mass
under the first shock. The business
streets at the time were well filled
with tourists and no doubt many of
them were caught in the falling brick
work and buried in the debris. Fire
broke out Immediately after the crash
at three separate points. The fire de-
partment station was wrecked, render
ing resistance to the flames impossible.
The confiagration continued unchecked
until Tuesday morning, by which time
the whole business quarter Of Kings
ton had been wiped out, the damaged
area comprising about a square mile.
All the large warehouses in the low
er part of the city We're consumed and
not a single house anywhere remained
unchanged, the majority being unfit
for habitation. A conservative esti-
mate of the casualties made by the po-
lice of Kingston places the number of
killed at 1900.
The treasury in HarbOr street was
standing, but the postoffice and court
houses were in ruins The government
offices were unsafe for occupation, gov
eminent house was badly damaged, the
Colonial Bank was burned out, the
Nova Scotia Bank was heap of ruins.
The Roman Catholic cathedral, the
Paris church and the Scotch. Wesley

ed and the theater was destregs].
At Port Royal, at the entrance of
Kingston harbor, one of the batteries
sank and a gunner was killed. The
ships in the harbor were transformed
into hospitals. The cabins of the
steamer Port Kingston were full of

CITY SINKING INTO THE SEA.
Bottom Falls Out of HarbOr and New
Peril Is Caused.


The city of Kingston, rocked by an
earthquake and almost destroyed by
fire, next seemed in imminent danger
of sinking into the sea altogether and
disappearing utterly from the face of
the earth.
With the number of dead still not
definitely known and estimates run
ming from 1000 to 500 and a property
loss reaching into millions. fresh alarm
was caused by dispatches from Port au
Prince, Haiti, which said that the bed
of the harbor was sinking and that it
was dangerous for ships to approach.
There are thousands of tourists in the
vicinity of Kingston and this news
from there caused widespread unrest.
The water along the front portion of
Kingston is said to be 100 feet deep in
many places and that other portions
of the shore are rapidly sinking. The
Plum point and Port Royal lighthouses
are both at the bottom of the harbor.
The navigation channel has materially
changed and in some places the depth
of the harbor has been altered from
forty to 100 feet. A circumstance that
tends to uphold the new danger is
dispatch from Holland Bay, saying
that the portion of the town of Port
Royal which sank 200 years ago is
again under water.

In contradiction of the widespread re-
ports in European capitals that Servia is
shaken with anti-dynastic plots threaten
ing King Peter with fate similar to
that of his predecessor, NJ. Pasios, presi-
dent of the council of ministers of Ser
via, has made a statement to the Asso-

personal relations of the ministers with
the King are cordial and sincere and that
all hands are devoted to the existing
