DISASTER
Visits Kingston, Jamaica, on
Teu esday-One Thousand
Dead, 90, 600 Homeless
A Ten Million Dollar Loss.

Dispatches from st. Thomas, d.
w. L., on Wednesday state that 200
persons were killed by the earth
quake at Kingston, Jamaica, on Tues
day and that 10000 persons are
homeless. The property loss in the
city alone will reach $l0,000,0O0.
All people have been warned to
keep away from Kingston. The
stencil there is described as awful.
There is no fodder for animals and
famine is imminent. Money is USE
less. The banks have been burned
but the vaults are supposed to be
safe. The misery on all sides is in
describable. Rich and poor alike
are homeless. Provisions of all
kinds are urgently needed. 1t is i'm
possible to say where anybody can
be found. Sir James Ferguson, vice
chairman of the Royal Mail Steam
ship Company, is among the killed.
The loss of life is very great, but the
exact numbers are not yet known.
The dead are buried under shoulder
ing ruins. The mercantile commu-
nifty suffered most severely, ware
houses falling upon them. Many
professional men are dead or injured.
The negroes are looting. CHASTITY
scenes are being witnessed. All the
shops have been destroyed and all
the buildings, in and around Kings
ton are in ruins. Very few of them
are safe to live in
Kingston is the capital of the is
land of Jamaica, and the principal
seaport and commercial city of that
island. 1t is situated on the south
coast and on the north side of fine
harbor. The latter is a locked
basin available for the largest ships
and is enclosed on the south by
long tongue of land at the extremity
of which is Port Royal. The popu-
lation of Kingston is about $4,000.
The city is laid out with regular
and wide streets, and the better class
of houses are neatly built with wide
verandas, and surrounded by hand
some gardens. Street cars run to the
suburbs, and two lines Of railroad
connect the city with the northern
and eastern parts of the island.
Kingston has botanical garden,
library, museum, hospital and var
ious other public buildings, and is
the seat of an Anglican bishopric.
The harbor of Kingston is consid-
cred to be one of the finest in the
world, and is protected by forts.
There is naval arsenal at Port
Royal.
Nearly all the trade of the colony
of Jamaica centers at Kingston.
Kingston and the commercial house
es of that city have extensive rela-
tions with southern Cuba and Cen
trail America, as we'll as the United
States and Europe. The exports are
mainly rum, coffee, dye woods and
fruits. The streets of Kingston run
at right angles to the sea.

B0NAPARTE WILL RETIRE
His Usefulness in the Cabinet
Said to Have Ended,

New York, Aug. 21.-The Journal Of
Commerce publishes a story regarding
the possible retirement Of Attorney
General Bonaparte from the cabinet
1t says:
according to important interests

tration the usefulness of Attorney Gen.
eral Bonaparte as a member of the
presidents cabinet has eliminated 1t
is not expected that immediate retire
ment will result, for such action might
be construed as sign of weakening
in the presidents antitrust policy, a
construction particularly distasteful to
Mr.. Roosevelt since not the slightest
justification exists for it. But there Is
no question, according to the excellent
information obtained, that the presi-
dent is not only not in sympathy with
the recent f1ippant and undignified at
titude and the at least doubtful legal
procedure displayed by the attorney
general, but in all respects opposed to
them
The attorney generals policy, the
Journal Of Commerce says it is under
stood, Is condemned by all the presi-
dents most trusted advisers and, it
adds, there is excellent reason to be-
neve some important changes in the
cabinet would constitute a protest
against executive endorsement of Mr.,
Bonaparte's programme Secretary
Root, for instance, the paper declares,
Is known to have expressed strong
criticism of it, while Assistant Secre-
tary Of State Robert Bacon is also en-
tirely out Of sympathy with the attor-
ney generals policy.
1t is not expected, it Ia stated, that
any official consideration will be given
Che current strained situation until the
president returns to Washington from
Oyster Bay.
