From Londen comes the following addi- side, 1 information: spatches received at the colonial office from the British authorities in the West Indies indicate, as a whole, that the earlier reports of the havoc wrought by the hurricane were not exaggerated. They show widespread devastation. Owing to the breakdown of the telegraph and telephone systems the real extent of the disaster is yet unknown, but financial aid is required to meet the distress. People are flocking into Kingston, St. Vincent, from all the country around for shelter ‘and food. Everywhere it appears that all the small buildfngs and many large ones were destroyed, and there is no doubt that the fatalities were numerous. Sir Cornelius Moloney, governor of the Windward Islands, cates that two vessels Were sunk and that the fate of many oth- €rs is unknown. Bardados and St. Vincent. The latest news from the West Indies, to the effect that the Islands of Barbados and St. Vincent have been Visited by a most dis- astrous hurricane, comes not in the nature of @ surprise, but as a verification of my prediction of some six weeks or so ago. The expected has happened. that is all. Hurrl- canes are always “in order” after the last week in July, end particularly dreaded in the month of September.

The imports amount in round numbers to about 36,000,000 and the exports to $5,- 000,000, The trade ts chiefly with the United States: and no reader of The Star need be told that the principal products of the island are sugar, molasses and rum. Barbados 1s but twenty-one miles long by fourteen broad, with an area of only 168 square miles, yet boasts a population of over 185,000, or about 1,114 to the square mile. When I was there last I was told “China wasn't in it” with Barbados; and as to the quality of the respective pop- ulations, why, there was no comparison! It is this superabund@ant population. that makes of the 'Badian negroes men vastly superior to the average of ‘their race; he just has to “hustle for a living.” and no mistake about {t. To be sure, there may be some malevelent Malthuslans who will see in the recent removal of several hun- dred of them by the last hurricane a prov- idential dispensation, which will not meot with the sanction of the Barbadian.

Like Rarbades, it carefully keeps i enues just 4 little below its expenc and its imports a Httle above its exports, each being a half a million dollars an: ually, It is a mountainous and forest- ad island, one of the most beautiful in that Stern chain known as the Wind- ward group. There are in St. Vincent what few other tslands hold out as an induce- ment to immigrants—large quantities of crown lands (4,000 acres)—which ean be ad from $5 to $1 per acre; ferti lands, i in the hills and mountains, but of producing any tropica) plant, such ag nutmeg, coffee, ovt, for which the island has a great reputation in the London markets.

And that same mountain has peiyed a part in seismic disturbance which has ‘iven it a world-wide reputation. In the year 18 hen our forefathers were so busily eagaged tn Aghting John Bull that they did not notice it, this mountain let off a volcanic eruption that shook the earth. According to the historian, “this eruption, which seemed to relleve a pres- sure upon the earth's crust, extending from Caracas to the Mlssissippl valley, was most astrous in its effecis, covering the whole with ashes, cinders, pumice and destroying many Hves and ruinisg estates. It lasted three days, com- mencing on or near that fatal day in 1812 When Caracas was destroyed. and 10,004 perished in a moment of time.” A most curious feature of this eruption Was that ashes from this volcano descended upon Harbados, ninety-five miles to the windward. The winds there are mostly the “trades” and blow from the east westerly or directly from Barbados to St. Vincent. Says the famous geographer, Elisee Reclus, in his book, ‘The Ocean,” quoting this fact to show the force of aerial currents: “On the first day of May, 1812, when the north- east trade wind was in all iTS force, enor- mous quantities of ashes obscured the at- mesph above the Island of Bagbados and covered the ground with a thick®layer. One would have supposed that they came from the volcanos of the Azores, which are to the northeast; nevertheless, they were cast up by the crater in St. Vincent, 100 miles to the west. It is therefore certain that the debris had been hurled by the The term wern out in all the regu the hurrica for a dole It may be ¢ force of the eruption above the moving sheet of the trade winds into an aerial river proceeding in a contrary direction.” Kingston the Capital. It is a glorious volcano, as I can affirm, having camped in a cave on its summit for @ week, when in search of new birds for the Smithsonian. I got the birds, and I got a fever, something ke that which has id out so many of our brave boys in Cuba and Porto Rico the past summer; and If it had not been for the kindness, the exceeding hospitality, of the residents of Kingston, the capital of St. Vincent, I should not probably be writing this ac- count of it, years after the event. For, though the doctors vted with each other to bring me about, and the Methodist minis- even came. to bestow the last consola- I did not begin to pick up until one of God's Samaritans took me down to his plantation and kept me for nearly two months. So I have a tender spot in my heart for the afflicted inhabitants of that Uful island, and certainly hope the re- of death and disaster have been ex- ated. The capital of St. Vincent, which is eighteen miles in length by eleven in breadth, Kingston, has a population of about 5,000, against 40,000 for the whole island, and is a well-built and very at- tractive town, lying between hills covered with forest and sugar cane, and a magnifi- cent bay. The governor's residence is in a fine bo- tanic rden, where, by the way, many horticultural experiments have been tried which have resulted to the benefit of hu- manity, notably the cultivation of the breadfruit, nutmeg and other exotic plants, The breadfruit was introduced here more than @ century ago, and about that time also the Caribs were subjugated and most of them removed to Honduras. A small remnant of this tribe of Indians yet Hives on the windward coast, engaged in culti- yating arrow root and other tropical crops. Mcst of the sugar lands are owned by an enterprising Scotchman, Mr. Alexander Porter, who of late has tried to improve the cultivation of the island and the condi- tion of his numerous sable tenants. But, like all the smaller islands of He West Indies, St. Vincent is in a most pitl- lace, ful condition, because, in the first the small number of whites 1s insufficient to make head against the constant atavism of the blacks; in the second, such elemental disturbances as the late hurrloane period- ically upset whatever. plans they may formulate for their mutual: improvement and advancement. Like all the other English islands of the ‘West Indies, also, it still possesses a rem- nant of the aristecratic, once dominant, class of noble Scotch and British ancestry, who cling to hospitality as an obligation, and esteem the stranger guest as a possi- ble entertaining of an angel unawares. ‘They are of the salt of the earth, and they have lost no particle of the primitive savor, & A. OBER. GROSVENOR TO VETERANS Ho Says That “War is Wer? and Defends the Administration. Geremeres= 2.5] Points Out Alleged Perfection of Pro- vision for the Comfort of the Soldiers, ey The joint reunion of the 46th Illinois and Stephenson county soldiers brought thou- sands to Freeport, Ill, -yesterday. Among the speakers were Col.“Dornblazer of the 46th; Capt. F. H. Marsh, Judge Crabtree, Gen. Byers of Wisconsin and Gen. Gros- venor. The sentiment prevailed that all of the Philippines should be retained. Gen. Grosvenor said, in part: ince the anrval meetirgs of the Grand Army of the Rerublic of 1S97 great events bave happeaed in the United States, events which will charge the map of the world and stamp upon the American character the elements of a great ccsmopolltan fac- ter. It would seem fitting and proper that We discuss the events of the past year, and consider them with reference to the his- tory of the Grand Army of the Republic and the soldiers of the war of 1861-5. I know that I am speaking to men of distin- guished magnanimity of character and gen- erosity of purpose, and hence I wi!l ven- ture to say there will be no men in the United States who will receive the return- ing soldiers of the Spanish war with grea? er evidences of comradeship than will the men who marched and fought from Bull Run to Appomattox. They will be recetv- ed in our homes and be given the front rank in our hearts’ affections. “The performances of the Union soidiers will not be discussed by men in comparison with the men of the Spanish war, except- ing only to show how imperfect were the provisions for our safety, our comfort and our efficiency, us compared with those of the army of today.” Without discussing the ethics of the con- troversy between the United States and Spain, Gen. Grosvenor defended the war as a righteous and holy one. After detailing the suddenness with which the beginning of hostilities came, and the great difficulties cenfronting the War and Navy Depart- ments in providing ammunition and sup- plies of subsisterce, he sai War is War. “In less than a hundred days about 225,- 000 men were mustered into the volunteer organizations of the United States, and the regular army was increased to about 60,000, making somewhere in the neighborhood of 275,006 men of all arms; and at the end of one hundred days every man of them was fully equipped for war. Go with me now to the camp of one of these regiments and see what they had. Arms of the best obtain- able character, probably not the Mauser, nor In ail cases the Krag-Jorgensen, but in every case an efficient weapon. Quarter- master supplies in quantities beyond the dream of possibility. Go to camp and see their tertage, their bedding, their cooking utensils and their rations and you will say what I say, that no one on earth was ever so well armed, so well clothed, so well ared for; and all this was done in a period of less than one hundred days.

This sim- ply shows that war is, war and that you cannot have a war in any other way. “As the last gun of Santiago boomed over the fever-stricken hills of western Cuba, the flag of Spain want down, never to rise again on the Antilles, and the war was over. ; “But sickness and death ‘held high car- nival, and now the test of the surgeon gen- eral’s department was made by a condition of things unparalleled in the history of the werld that we have known, and it is not strange to hear {t sald that there has been a lack of effictency shown In some places by the medical corps of the army. The American people wil! hold, first, that suffer- ing caused by the act of God, which could not be met by the ordirary foresight of man, shall not be charged up against our officers, but that the suffering of soldfers and the lack of care and attention to the sick, that could have been prevented by the utmost activity of the representatives of the government, shall be thoroughly invegti- gated, and all the facts mad> known, and those who have contributed by negligence of ovart act shall recelve the condemnation and punishment which a crime of this ter- rible character justly demands; but we shall not forget how weak we were in the begin- ning, and how the government was driven, as it was, to precipitate action, and how faithfully th> great departments of the government have accomplished the tremen- deus results to which I have referred.” a s Men have ent time jt is believed by bullets and wounds s reached the terrible WO men.

The Atlanta Constitution last night re- ceived the following speciai dispatch from its New York correspondent: “Capt. Evan P. Howell,who 4s at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, will cil on President Me- y Saturday in response to a telegram ence to his suggested appointment as a member of the commission to investi- gate the War Department. “Capt. Howell said: ‘If the commission is to have unrestricted power in the inves- tigation, and I am assured that its scope is to be unlimited, I will aecept appointment on the commission, and if I serve it wiil be with the understanding that [ wiil “hew to the line, iet the chips fall where they may.” “The country demands that 1f there has been any official neglect of duty in any of the branches of the War Department, the blame should be fixed so that those who are responsible be held accountable, and the innocent not suffer from the maladmin- istration of those guilty of any incompe- tency. “If I serve on the commission it will be solely for the purpose of going to the bot- tom of the whole situation. I am satisfied that nothing is further from the mind of the President than the encouragement of a “whitewash” report. I believe he wants the facts known, and, so far as I am con- cerned, they will be ascertained {f I serve. I am fully prepared to do justice to every official.” “Concerning the statement that it was beyond the authority of the commission to compel the attendance of persons or to re- quire papers which may be refused, Capt. Howell sala: “Phat, of course, amoynts to nothing. If a commission of this ¢haracter should request the attendance ofsany human be- ing connected with the:department, or the presentation of any paper,.and it was met with refusal, it would simply be an admis- sion of guilt which no éfficer would dare to make.

A New Discovery, but Not a Patent Medicine. Dr. Redwell relates an Interesting account of what he considers a remarkable cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. He srys: The patient was a man who had suf- fered to my knowledge for years with dyspepsia. Evorything he ate seemed to sour and create acid and gases in the stomach; he hed pains Uke rheumatism in the back, shoulder blades and mbs, fullness and “distress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart became affect- ed, causing palpitatior and sleeplessness at night. { gaye him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment I finally bought a fifty-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store and gave them to him. Almost immediate relief was given, and after he had used four boxes be was to all ap- pearances fully cured. There was no more acidity or sour watery ris- ings, no bloating after meals, the appetite was vigorous and he bas gained between 10 and 12 peunds in weight of solid, bealthy fiesh. Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tublets are adver- tized and sold in drug stores, yet I consider them @ most valuable addition to any physician's line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to children or invalids or in any con- ition of the stomach with perfect safety, being harmless and containing nothing but vegetable and fruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal. Without any question they are the safest, most effective cure for indigestion, biliousness, constt- pation and all derangements of the stomach, how- ever slight or severe. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich., and sold by drug- gists everywhere at fifty cents per package. Little book on stomach diseases mailed free.
