The Lexington Dispatch I Wednesday, May 28,1902. The Doomed Island. Fort de France, Martinique, May 22 ?Today there is a general exodus of the entire island, and the belief is j freely expressed that it may be necessary to abandon it forever as the constant activity of Mount Pelee is makiDg life unsafe and vegetation almost impossible. Every departing vessel carries hundreds of terror stricken persons to safety, almost all of which are i j abandoning tneir nomes aim pubises- i sions in fche hurry to escape the doom which seems impending. In all the thousands who have departed from Fort de France, hundreds have fled to almost certain starvation in the mountains, and all those now departing are dependent on the charity of strangers, as there are few who have any fands. Every ship in the harbor today is crowded, and clustered about them are small boats filled with natives begging to be taken up. All about Mount Pelee for a radius of several miles the original surface of the earth is buried under millions of tons of lava and volcanic dust. Paris, May 22 ?Minister of Colo nies de Brais has called Governor S. Haerre at Fort de France, instructing him to make all possible arrangements for the embarkation of the inhabitants of Martinique in the oveDt of circumstances necessitating the evacuation* of that island. Fort de Franoe, May 22.?The United States training ship Dixie, which sailed from Brooklyn one week ago today with relief supplies, reached here today. Dixie leaves half her stores here and the remainder at St. Yincent, which was found sufficient for her. Castries, St. Lucis, B. W. I., May 23 ?Cut off by a sea of boiling lava, hundreds of persons, mostly pocr women and children, are penned in iv. :n rL a ???? blitJ Village ui vriauu mricic, ucai devastated St.Fierre, facing a terrible death. It is impossible to aid or reach the/ terrified prisoners aDd it now 6eems certain that all must perish. . The awful burst of lava from Mount Pelee on Monday and Tuesday hemmed the unfortunates in, who had returned home in the belief that the danger was over. The lava forms a & perfect mass of hot bubbling fluid all the way to the sea, and it means instant death to attempt to cross it. The unfortunates can be seen from the surrounding hills praying and pleading for deliverance. Besides death from the constantly spreading lava, the entire party faces starvation. Paris, May 23 ?The privy council of the colony has consulted the advisability of the total cr partial evacuation of the island, and it has unanimously decided that such action would not be justified at present. The steamer Campagnie of the TVqtibo-A flan tin no lino is Viprp is able to transport those desiring to go ts Guadaloupe. Twenty thousand inhabitants have engaged passaga to Versailles. A GUATEMALAN CITY WIPED OUT BY EARTHQUAKE. Hamburg, May 23.?A special dispatch to the Hamburg Boersenhalle from Guatemala says that the town of Quezaltenango has been wholly de stroyed by an earthquake, which lasted three-quarters of a minute. Business is entirely suspended in Guatemala, and a great part, of the ccffee crop there has been destroyed.

No ebock was felt here, as wa9 the case on April 18 last when an earthquake practically destroyed the town of Quezaltenango and resulted in the loss of many lives. It is possible that the Hamburg paper may have received mail adviceB referring to this earthquake. Washington, May 23 ?The earthquake reported in the Hamburg dispatch resulting in the destruction of the city of Qaealtenango, Guatemala, is identified here as that which really ocrnrred on the 18th of April, and which has been desmibed to some extent in the American newspapers. Information received here at the Gua temalan legation shows that the city was wholly destroyed and that San Marcos and several other towns were partially destroyed. The Guatemalan authorities decided to reconstruct the city of Quealtenango on a plain some distance from the site of the original place. Reports regarding the destruction of life are incomplete, but they indicate that at least several thousand persons were killed and that the property loss approximated $50,000,000 in the April earthquake. $100 Reward $100.

Washington, May 22 ?Secretary Root views with satisfaction the transference of responsible relations with Cuba from the department over which he presides to the department of State, but he anticipates a fierce attack from Democratic sources upon the administration of Cuba during the years of the United States government of intervention. It is reported here that the Democratic Congressional committee, convinced of the futility of attacks made by the minority in the Senate upon the conduct of the army in the Philippines, will turn its attentions at once to Cuba for ammunition for partizan use at home in the coming battle for the control of the house. Like a Drowned Man. "Five vears ago a disease the doc * o tors called dyspepsia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go," writes Geo. S. Marsh, well-known attorney of Nocona, Tex.

I felt an improvement at once and after a few bottles am sound and well."
