UNCLE SAM ACTS QUICKLY
Supply Ships Laden With Food are
Sent to Sufferers on Stricken
Island of Jamaica.

Official news of the disaster at
Kingston, Jamaica, reached Washing
ton slowly Wednesday. The frst re-
port did not come to hand until we'll
along in the afternoon. when dis
patch was received at the state de-
partment, dated: Jamaica, S:S1 p. M,
January 16," and signed American
Consul" stating that Kingston had
been destroyed and hundreds Of lives
lost and that food was badly wanted
The signature to this dispatch was
misleading, for the consul is absent on
leave from his post. It was assumed
at the department that the vice and
deputy consul, William II. Orrett, at
Kingston, had sent the dispatch, A
reference in the cablegram to the
freproof safe Is understood to convey
assurance of the safety of the con-
sular records and papers.
However, the dispatch was regarded
as warranting the taking of instant
measures of relief. Indeed, the navy
department had been in advance in
this matter, for through Captain Beeh-
Ter, the officer in charge Of the naval
station at Key West, wireless COM
munication was early established be-
tween the navy department and Ad-
miral Evans, commanding the Atlantic
feet at Guantanamo, Cuba, and when
Secretary Root later indicated the de-
STABILITY of sending warships at once
TO the distressed island 1t turned out
that Admiral Evans had anticipated in
struetions and had started on a tor
pedo boat destroyer, the swlftest yes
sci in the American fleet, for Kings
ton, ordering two battleships to fol
low as soon as they could.
The appeal for food supplies direct
ed attention to tho fact that under
ordinary conditions none Of the gov
eminent supplies could be used for
outside relief save by special authority
of congress.
That fact, however, did not pre-
vent Secretary Metcalf from ordering
two supply ships with full cargoes of
food at once to jamaica, leaving Tor
later decision the question as TO how
the supplies are to be given to
the needy inhabitants.

DEATH STALKS
TN KINGSTON
Later Dispatches Report 1000 Kill
ed in Quake and Fire horror.
GREAT HORDES HOMELESS
Wreckage of City Being Looted by
HeartlsSs GhouIs Property Loss on
Island Placed at Ten Millions.

Reports received Wednesday in st.
Thomas, Danish West Indies, FROM
Jamaica, say it is estimated that
one thousand persons have been killed
by the earthquake and fire and that
ninety thousand pesrons are homeless.
The damage to Kingston alone is
placed at fully $1O,0O0,00O The ne
groes are looting and CHASTITY scenes
are being witnessed. The misery is
understandable.
Very few messages, and these mea-
ger and lacking in detail, wore re-
ceived direct from jamaica Wednes-
day, to give additional Information OF
the devastation and death wrought by
the earthquake that rayaged Kinston
on Monday afternoon Such intelli-
gence as has come through, however,
shows the situation to be apparently
more serious than was outlined in the
first reports received.
A large majority Of the fifty thou
sand population of Kingston are black
and it is probable that the majority
of the casualties we're among these
people. 1t is reported that about two
score Of black soldiers were burned
to death in military hospital near
the city.
Looting and disorder including
raids on rum shops by the blacks, fol-
lowed the catastrophe, but prompt re-
pressiye measures restored order.
Panic prevails, however, especially
as the earth shocks continued Tues
day and Wednesday and great NUM-
bers OF the city's population have fed
to the neighboring country side. Food
supplies are beginning to be urgently
needed and the demand on medical
supplies has exhausted the stock on
hand.
The fires that followed the disaster,
1t was reported, were confined TO that
section of the city bordering on the
water front. The flames were sup
posed to have been checked, but
later dispatch indicates that they may
have again broken out.
The navy department has sent the
battleships Missouri and Indiana
from Guantanamo, Cuba, to Kingston,
to render all the aid possible.
Any reliable estimate Of the proper
ty damage is impossible It is report
ed the business section is in ruins and
that large bank building and big
hotel have been destroyed, while
other messages say that almost the
whole of the houses of the jamaican
capital have been destroyed and those
in radius of ten miles damaged.
The very much more serious aspect
of the situation given by the messages
received from Jamaica itself have not
been confirmed by official reports.
Some of the messages emanating
from Jamaica are without date and il
is thus impossible to tell whether they
refer to the panic Of the first hours.

DREADED TO EAT.

How many persons dread to eat their
