LONDON, Jan. 17.-A dispatch from Sweetenham, governor of Jamaica, without date, is as follows:
 The evil effects have been con- fined almost entirely to the three par ishes of the island, Kingston, Port Royal and Standrew. The fire at Kingston has practically ceased, only coal rubbish now burning. The dis trict burned comprises a triangular area between the Parade Gardens, the sea, Duke street and Princess street. This triangle comprises about one thirtieth part of the town. The burned area is being cleared slowly, owing to the indisposition of the popu- lation to laobr, even at double wages. A few bodies are still covered with ruins. Burials up to noon today com prise 343. People admitted to the hospitals in Kingston, 40, excluding some sixty cases sent to the Spanish town

 Great assistance has been given by Sir Alfred Joes, who has converted the steamer Port Kingston into a tempo rary hospital, with doctors and fremen from Spanish town, and by the com manderS of the troops, who supplied men to assist in keeping order snd to patrol.
