Further Details of the Terrible
l)esl ruction by the Volcano
Mont l'elee.
Fort de France, Island of Martinique,May
11.-Advices received
f here today from the vicinity of
St. Pierre (ten miles from here),
contained further details of the
terrible volcanic upheaval which
resulted in the utter destruction
of that town and the death of
nearly all its inhabitants.
The crater of Mont Pelee has
been wearing its "smoke cap"
since May 3, but there was nothhing
uutil last Monday to indicate
that there was the slightest
danger. On that day a stream
of boiling lava burst through the
top of the crater and plunged into
the valley of the River Blanche,
overwhelming the Cxuerin sugar
works, and killing 23 working
people and the sou of the proprie
tor.
A commission was appointed
by the governor to investigate the
outbreak and it returned a reassuring
report of Wednesday eve
ning. But about 8 o'clock on
Thursday morning a shower ol
lire rushed upon St. Pierre and
the coast from Le Carbet, which
had a population of G,000, to Be
Precheur, which had a population
of 4,000, burning up everything
in its path.
. The heat in the vicinity of St.
Pierre was so intense and the
stream of llowing lava was so
unremitting that it was impossible
to approach the town during the
earlv part of the day. As evening
approached the French cruiser
Suehet, after a heroic battle
\wlh the heat, ^allocation and
siilpher fumes, succeeded in making
a dash toward the shore,
nearing the lapd enough for her
to tifke oil the "Survivors of the
disaster, all ol' whom were horribly
burned ayd mutilated.
St. Pierre at that time was an
absolute smoking waste, concealing
30,000 corpses, whoso rapid

The inhabitants of Fort de
France were panic stricken the
morning of the disaster when the
sky suddenly blackened until it
was as dark as at midnight. The
sea shrank back 300 yards and
| hot rain began to fall whiie grav*

down on the town. This lasted
about 15 minutes.

brought here yesterday from the

The latest reports received

whole north side of the island,

Peace Reigns at Clemson.
; The trustees of Clemson Col- ,
lege met last week and investi- j
gated the trouble there that led j
to t he suspension of young Thorn- j
well, followed by the leading of }
the vSophomoro class and the (
threatened departure ot about j
400 more of the students. The
results of this investigation,
stated succinctly, are these :
Cadet Thornwell has been reinstated.
The sophomore class
will be allowed to return and re- ,
sume their studies, on the condi- ^
tion that they will be ready to
stand their examination in September
for entrance to the junior
class. The charges which were
preferred by tbe committee of
students against President Hartzog
were withdrawn. President ]
Hart/.og has tendered his resig- t
nation, to take effect at the pleas
ure of the trustees. The rosig- J
nation will not be considered or y
acted 011 until the regular meet- j
ing of the board in June, at com- s
niencement.
President Ilartzog's resigna- "
tion was placed in the hands of
the board several days ago. lie
said he tendered it so the trustees 1
might not feel any embarrassment
or hesitancy on his account '1
in making the most rigid and
thorough investigation. f
