St. Thomas, P. \V. I.?It is now estl- j

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.
Tile British schooner Ocean Traveler,
which arrived at Dominica, was opposite
St. Pierre. Site reported that when
site was about a mile off the const the
volcano of Mont Pelee exploded, and !
fire from it swept the whole town of J
St. Pierre, destroying the town and '

The Suchet was ordered to retnrn to I

and to forward details of the disaster1
to the French <loverinnent.
It is feared that the Governor of

Paris, Franco.?The Parisians have
scarcely realised the awfuluess of tlie
catastrophe at St. Pierre. 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.

InitU'ii?Dlicuverrd by Columbus.
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.

Now York City.?Paul Leicester Ford, |
the deformed author of "Janice Mere- |
litIi** atul "The Honorable l'eter Ster- i
ling." never conceived a climax in any j J
of the novels that have made him fa
moils so dramatic as that which has |
brought Ills eventful life to an abrupt
end. 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. The tragedy was tlie re- 1
suit of a tend growing out of tlie recent I
ceeentrielties of the father of both in"",
the father who had disinherited Maleolm
and who had given the lion's
share of his $'_\n?K),000 estate to the de- !
ion net! sun. Paul.
Mr. Ford was seated at his desk
working on tin* notes of a new novel, .
anil Miss i 1 :i 11 was also occupied in another
pari of the room, when Malcolm
Ford, who liad been admitted into the
house by a servant, entered tle> library.
Ik paid no attention to Miss llnii,
lint walked directly to his brother's j
desk. I'aul. looking tip, said: "Hood |
morning, Malcolm." 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.
She dashed through tlii? portieres ]
with a sereani of fright. Then she i
| heard Malcolm ealh "Miss llall. Miss i
j Halt: come hack?come hack and see |
I His* take my own life."
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.
Her screams for help had attracted j
| the servants, and one of tliein was rent
f<tr the family physician near-by, I>r.
| Barueh, who arrived live minutes after
the shooting. lie immediately examined
tlit* dying author upon the couch
and discovered I lint the bullet had cn!
tered the left breast, and had penetrated
one of the larger arteries, inflicting
a snrely fatal wound. 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?"

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.
Paul Ixdcester Ford was horn in

New York City.?The correspondent
)f the Tribune itt Cuba telegraphs the
irst statements of lTvshlent-eleet j
[*almn regarding the subjeejs whieh he |
will embody in his llrst message to ,
Congress and his treatment of Jhem. j
General I'alnia lias had many eonrerfiiees
vrlili men who know the country's
conditions thoroughly, and there
ire now few Cubans who know the
needs of the country better than he. ;
He said:
"1 am more convinced now than ever j
that Cuba needs a greater tariff roluction
from the United States than
L'ongress lias allowed. 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.
The agricultural and educational
ilepartnicnts arc to receive probably
the tirst and greatest attention."
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.
There is an understanding between
the Tresident-eleet and the United
States Government that ne naval or

A REBUKE FOR TILLMAN.
Democrat* I.eavn tlic Seriate Chamber
While He Ih Speahini;.
Washington, J). (3.?Senator Tillman
tvas treated to a severe and extra orSi
nary rebuke by the entire Democratic
Side of the Senate, with the single exception
of Senator Teller. The rebuke
was delivered in A dramatic manner,
and in the presence of a Senate crowd
Ju the galleries and on tlit- floor.
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.
Before Mr. Tillman Lad proceeded
very far with his speech the Demiera
tic Senators, almost in a hotly, left
the chamber. Senator Teller was the
only Democrat who remained. Every
seat in the Republican side was tcu
pled.
When Mr. Tillntan concluded P. ?
Democrats tiled in and took their
places. Mr. Burton, who rose to answer
Mr. Tillman, had hardly coin- 1
pletcd his tirst two sentences before
every Democrat was seated.
Inquiry among the Democratic Senators
developed the fact that their action
was taken to show their disgust
and disapproval at >lr. Tillman in
hi hip uc^iO question in a Cis- !
cussioii of Philippine affairs.

The old man said nothing. *1
