St. Thomas, P. \V. I.?It is now estl- j mated tJiat 40,000 person perished as a l result of tlie volcanic eruption in the I Island of Martinique. The French cruiser Suehet arrived at Point-a-Pitre, Island of Guadeloupe. I French West Indies, from Fort de France. Martiniipte, bringing several refugees. She confirmed the report that the town of St. Pierre was entirely destroyed by a volcanic eruption. It is supposed that lit" neighboring parishes were laid waste. The commander of tlie Suehet reported that the entire town of St. Pierre was wrapped in flames. lie endeavored to save abont thirty persons, all more or less burned, front the vessels in the "harbor. Ilie officers went nshoiv in small boats seeking for survivors, but were unable to penetrate iato the town. They saw heaps of bodies upon j the wharves, and it is believed that j not a single person in St. Pierre at the ! moment of the catastrophe escaped. M. I*. Mouttet, the Governor of the. colony, his wife, and his staff colonel, were in St. Pierre, and probably perished. 'Hie extent of the catastrophe cannot be imagined.

The only sign of grief yet visible is the halfmasted flag over the Ministry of the Colonies. Heyond reproducing the cahlo dispatches received by the Government. , the evening papers either refrained from commenting on the disaster, or con lined themselves to printing histories of ancient and modern similar events. The morning newspapers did not do much hotter. The Figaro followed the Cable dispatches with a geological history of tlie Island of Martinique, and speculated whether the catastrophe was m?h- n> .111 dup'tim or an r;iniM|ii:iKi' or to both, winding up with the statement that "it is uot Prr.nee alone. hyt humanity as a whole, that Is nlunged hi mourning, as such calamities ? all i tip the foeting of solidarity uniting ' all who think and feel." The Matin said the disaster is one oi the most frightful cntastrophies r? eonled. and that one must go hack :o I'ontpeil to find ti cataclysm of such u ahituitons nature. London. -All the newspapers here oS- ' press the utmost horror over the Mav- i ttnlque catastrophe, whieli, they say, tor its suddenness and magnitude is only comparable with that ->f Pompeii. ;ind they extend deep sympathy to tlic Ftvneh hint loo. It is possible that more lives were Inst in the destruction of St. Pierre than when Pompeii and llereukinoum ' were destroyed. An actual comparison is not possible, because thr various authorities are unable to do more than gnoss at the figures in regard to tin destruction of the ancient elt.i<!s. The population of Pompeii at the time of its destruction lias tn't'ii given | at from 20,000 to ."0.000; but according to Fiorrclli. the <?enoral Superintend- 1 vnt of 1 ."ho excavations, Pompeii had j 110 more than 120,000 inhabitants In its 1 earlier days, ami no more than 12,000 at the time of its destruction. The number -of lives lost tit Ilerettlaileum is believed to have been considerably less than at Pompeii. rrofcxior Milne'* Theory. London.?Professor John Milne, the seismologist, in an Interview published in the Dally Express, declares that his seismic instruments have recorded no disturbance, and that they would almost inevitably have done so had serious earthquakes occurred. Professor Milne's theory is t'liat Mount Pelee has "blown its head off." owing to the infiltration of water through the roeks until it reached the molten material beneath, forming steam of tremendous pressure until something had to give way.

Tlte Island of Martinique belongs to I lie group known as the Lesser Antilles, In the West Indies. It lies thirty-three nines south of I>< inlnlca nntl tweutyIwo miles north of Saint Lucia. It In fort.v-throc miles long by from twebre j Jo twenty broad, and lias an area variously estimated at from 1130 to :>S(} square miles, four-fifths of which is I volcanic. The island was discovered | by Columbus 011 his fourth voyage, on | June 15. 15trj. St. Pierre. the capital of the Island j of Mnrtinhiue and tlie birthplace of ' the Empress Jom* thine, is ten miles ; square, with a population of 25.IMMI people. It is on the northwest coast of the island, being one of the largest 1 towns of the French group. It is well built 011 a narrow strip of land lying along the beach cf a semi-circular bay and overhang by cliffs which approach tic.' shore. There is an interesting old Catholic college In the town, of historical importance. While there are few manufacturing establishments in the town, the people of St. Pierre are prosperous. T1k? harbor was the stopping place of vessels of all nations, it being good, although much exposed. The anchorage is exceptionally well adapted for vessels of more than average I draught. Though not unlike other na- i tives of the Lesser Antilles and tropi- 1 cnl climates in their habits and meth- i otls, the inhabitants of St. Pierre were industrious. The chief popular amuse- . meat in tIn* capital of Martinique was , dancing ami driving. The Island of Martinique contains several extinct volcanoes, the highest point being Mont Pelee. with an niti- I tilde of 14'?0 feet. MANY KILLED BY EARTHQUAKES.

In the library of his home, surrounded by the books he loved, he was shot to death by Ids brother. Malcolm j Webster Ford, a tall, stalwart man, j scarcely less famous for his athletic achievements than was Paul for his j writings. He fore he had fallen from the chair where lie sat when the shot was tired Paul saw his brother slioot liituself and j fall lifeless.

Miss 11 all did not hoar Malcolm return the salutation, ! hot she did hear hint say: "I am at the end of my rope. I want you to " Miss Hall did not hear the conclusion of the sentence. They then engaged | hi a whispered conversation of a few miuuies. The last words that Miss Hall heard ' came from Paul. They were: "Xo; 1 J cannot." Miss Hnll heard a step back of her. 1 and saw Malcolm hack away and raise his arm. Then she heard the report of j ' a revolver. Miss llall leaped front iter chair and looked around in an agony j i f fear. She saw Malcolm standing, i tall and erect, within two 1'eet of the j [ t iiiur wnoro ram fr.nl was crouched.

Hooking through the curtains Miss Hall, with hlanelied eyes, watched him J dclihcratcly raise a revolver to his left [ breast, and, with his face turned to- j ward the window, press his linger on 1 the trigger. She heard rather than saw the body of the athlete as it swung around toward her and dropped henv- j lly to the Hour. Miss Hall then reached the chair just as Paul Ford was about slipping from the seal to the floor. 'Put- | ting her two amis around the frail body sli\* half lifted and half led him | to a couch that stood on the other wide j of her desk.

I >r. Ba- | rucli administered a stimulant, under which Mr. Ford regained conscious- | ness, and asked: "How am I, Doctor?" The doctor made no response. Mr. Ford looked irp at 1dm again, with a feeble smile, and asked once more: "How am I, Doctor? How am 1?" lie read ids fate in the face of the physician, for. with a strong effort to keep up, he said: "1 will try to die bravely. How am I now, .Doctor?"

With the assistance of j tin* women servants the doctor carried | tin* body of the novelist into an ail- | joining apartment 21 ml placed it on a bed. I)r. P.nrueh had an exciting quarter' of an hour between trying to retain life In the feeble body of Paul Ford and to prevent the servants from advising Mrs. Ford of the tragedy that had roblK'd her of her husband. He succeeded in retaining life in the body of Paul Ford for fifteen minucs. He was leaning over the dwarfed figure when the eml came. I>r. Kusenbtirg, who also had been summoned, bad made an examination of the body of Malcolm Ford. He had been shot in precisely the same spot , as had his brother, whom lie had imir- \ ilered, and his death was almost instantaneous. The physicians proceeded to the | apartments of Mrs. Ford, who is short- 1 ly to become a mother. They learned ; that Mrs. Ford had demanded of one of the servants the cause of the noise I and confusion down stairs, and had 1 been tohl that Mr. Ford had been shot. The physicians found her hysterical and in urgent need of their skill. So critical was her condition that neither physician dared leave the room for four hours after the tragedy occurred.

It is absolutely necessary to the welfare of the conn try that we should have a reasonable reduction, not only on sugar and tobacco, but on all Cuban products." General I'alnia regrets that the tariff question has not been finally settled, for on Its disposition, lie thinks, depends the terms for a commercial treaty between the two countries. lie was anxious thai a ratification of this treaty should he one of the tirst acts jf the new government, and lie is creatly disappointed over the delay, lit* added: i iim, i n imi 11 uiuiersioou, as it is extremely important tluu it should lu\ that <ivir government will grant ujual rights to all. These rights will be guaranteed to every resident of ouba, regardless of religion, rare or nationality. This will he one of our cariinal principles, and we expect everyone to assist in work of reconstruction.

Tlie l'resldeut-* lect has studied the system in vogue In tlie Department of Agriculture at Washington, aud as fails possible will use it as a pattern. The Government intends to distribute seeds and in other ways to foster this industry, for from agriculture must lie derived the bulk <of the revenues. The raising of cattle will receive attention. General Talma hopes in four fears this will Ue restored to the condition in which it was before the war. There are to be no War or Navy Ministers, as in the United {states. The Treasury Department will have charge if the revenue cutters and also of the small coast patrol boats. Coast artillery and the rural guards are to 1 e the inly military forces in Cuba. The latter force, which ddes police duty, will be increased. The question of tlie pnymi'iit of the Cuban Army is to Tie deferred until lite country lias some surplus in the treasury. For the present American l-urrcncy and Spanish silver will continue in circulation, with*1 he American dollar as a standard of value. Other industries, such as rubber aud rot ton, arc to lie encouraged. Economy is to lie the keynote of General Talma's policy.

Senator McComas having made an onslaught during the Philippine debate on J lie South's manner oi' handling the negro question, Mr. Tillman was provoked to answer him in one of his characteristic speeches.
