York, is due at Frederiksted at q o'clock on
Tuesday morning.

We are sorry TO Have. TO record Chat tho
we'll known "great house" at BUIoab's Minde,
near this town. was almost entirely DESTROY
ed by FIRE on Wednesday forenoon. The fire
was first discovered in a room which the
uccupan had left closed, and, before any
thing could be done, had spread to several
others. There is good reason to believe that
1t was purely accidental, possibly originating
from a coal-pot supposed to have been left
With Are in 1t.
The entire building, except the large for
mer ball room and some small rooms sepa.
rated by a heavy stone wall from the matt
building, has been destroyed.
The buildings at Bulow's Minde, of which
the one above mentioned was the chief,
formed many years ago the residence of the
Governor of the island, General Schdlten,
who is reported to have erected them. They
were afterwards owned by DR.. Knudsen,
the1 by Mr.. Dam, from whom they were
bought by a company, of which the late
Mr.. Frank Armstrong was a prominent
member, to be fitted up as a hotel and
sanatarium. Later they came into the pos-
session of Mr.. Armstrong, whose family still
owns them.
Now that fuller information has COME to hand
1t has become possible to state approximately
where the recent cyclone entered the Car
ibbean, and to gather the scattered facts
into q fairly complete story. From the COR
rected statement about the experience of the
So. Bar6adian it appears that the storm
centre was about 300 miles (perhaps rather
more) northeast of st. Thomas on Thursday
night, into which position it had com from
northwest, as shown here by the barom-
eter and the changes of the Wind,
1t was then moving ~southwards, and not
till Saturday night had it turned towards
the southwest and entered the Caribbean.
From the st. Christopher Advertiser Of the
10th, for a copy Of which we are indebted
to Mr.. John LightbOurn, we learn, as will be
seen in another column, that the storm had
been felt very severely in st. Barts; up to
the present it is the only island from which
has come news of buildings having been
blown down. It seems therefore that the
centre passed over or very near to st. Barts.
From the account given of the Wind changes
at St. Kits it ia plain that the wind
there veered from northwest through west
and south. This was exactly opposite to
what happened in st. Croix, and shows that
while we were on the northwest eide OF the
storm st. kits was on the southeast. Anti
qua was also on the southeast side, but much
farther away from the centre than st. Kits.

Their away, to' ~tundtely for had the storm centre
turned more rapidly in its track we might
have suffered, say as badly as ST. Barts ap-
pears 10 have suffered. We have yet TO hear
from the islands Near to st. Barts, namely
st. Martins and Anguilla, also from Saba and
st. Eustatius, between which or very near to
the latter, the centre, after leaving st. Barts,
seems to have passed.
