According to official advices but twenty persons out of 25,000 survive from nature’s destruction of the city of St. Plerre. The administration is in ignor- ance of the effect of the earthquake upon other sections of the island, which had a population of 165,000. turbances are apprehended and fears are entertained that some of the American possessions, including St. Thomas and St. Johns, which are practically the property of the United States, may be affected. Secretary Hay recelved this afternoon the following from Consul Ayme, sta- tioned at Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadaloupe: “POINTE-A-PITRE, May 9.—To Secre- tary of State, Washington: At 7 a. m., on the 8th inst., a storm of steam, mud and fire enveloped the city of St. Plerre and community. Not more than twenty persons escaped with their lives. Eight- een vessels were burned and sunk with all on board, including four American vessels and a steamer from Quebec, named Roraima. The United States Con- sul and family are reported among the victims. A war vessel has'come to Gua- daloupe for provisions and will leave at 5 o'clock to-morrow. AYME, Consul.” Appeals were recelved by the State De- partment from persons living in New York, who have relatives and interests in Martinique, that warships be immediately dispatched to the island to render assist- ance.

Naval officers say, however, that as Martinique is fertile, therq@ will probably be no need for food supplies, though money will be useful for the re- erection of homes and the purchase of clothing for the people. Thomas T. Prentiss was Consul, and Amedee Testart Vice Consul at St. Plerre. Prentiss was born in Michigan and was appointed into the consular service from Massachusetts. Testart was born and appointed Vice Consul from Louisiana. Prentiss is about 60 years of age. He en- tered the consular service in 1871, when he was appointed Consul at the Sey- chelles Islands. He was appointed Con- sul at Mauritius on March 29, 1880, and re- tired in 18%4. He was appointed Consul at Rouen, France, on January 11, 1900, and in May of the same year he was transferred to Batavia, and six months later was sent to Martinique. Testart entered the service in 1898. Sl L RELATIVES LIVE IN DOOMED CITY Mme. Louise Louit of Stock- ton Prostrated by News of Disaster. T TOCKTON, May 9.—The news of the terrible catastrophe on the Island of Martinique came as a severe blow to Mme. Louise Loult, a teacher of French, who resides at the Budd House. Mme. Louit is prostrated by the news. Her sister and children lived at St. Pierre. The madame has little hope for her relatives, as they lived in a greatly exposed portion of the city. Her sister, Mme. Gentile, with her husband, two Further seismic dis- | sons named George and Raoul, and two daughters, Alice and Anals, have resided in St. Plerre for many years. Raoul is a distinguished lawyer and brilllant ora- tor, while his father has held high posi- tions In various capacities. Mme. Louit also has another sister, Mme. Fortier, who has a number of children living at Trinidad. She spent some time in St. Pierre and does not think the people ever entertained any great fear of the volca- no. The earthquakes in and around the | island, however, are very powerful and destructive, being felt as severely on the water as on the land. This island has been visited by calamities such as earth- quakes, drought, insurrection, yellow fe- ver, fire, cyclones and floods many times, and at last the supposedly peaceful vol- cano breaks forth. Mme. Loult says ow- ing to these misfortunes the people of the island have become so poor that it is al- most impossible for them to ledve the is- land and seek homes elsewhere. MILNE TELLS OF EXPLOSIONS Highest Authority in the World Gwes Some Startling Facts. HICAGO, May 9.—Professor Milne, the highest authority in the world on voleanic explosions, classifies the eruptions into two grades— those that build up very slowly and those that destroy most rapidly. Eruptions that build up mountains are periodical wellings-over of lava and com- paratively harmless, but in the building up, in which may occur a perlod of cen. turies, natural volcanic vents are closed up and gases and blazing fires accumu- late beneath that must eventually find the air. Soqner or later they must burst forth and terrible disasters of the second class take place. It is the same cause that makes a boiler burst. The greatest volcanic explosion ever known was that of Krakatoa, an island in the Straits of Sunda, between Jave and Sumatra. The eruption began on May 30, 1883, but the great explosion did not come until August 2. Flames from the crater could be seen forty miles dis- tant. The crashing explosion which fol- lowed the flames set in motion air waves that traveled around the earth four times one way and three times the other. Every self-recording barometer in the world was disturbed seven times by that blow-up. These waves travefed at the rate of 700 miles per hour. The noise of this eruption was heard at Borneo, 1160 miles distant. Tt was felt in Burmah, 1478 miles distant. It was felt in Perth, West Aus- tralia, 1902 miles away. The explosion was heard over a sound zone covering one-thirteenth of the earth's surface. Sea waves were created by the explo- sion, which destroyed all the towns and villages on the shores of Java and Suma- tra bordering the strait, all vessels and shipping there and 36,380 Iives, raised a tidal wave at Merak 135 feet high, cov- ered 5000 square miles of the ocean with laya dust several inches thick, submerged an fisland six miles square and 700 feet high to a depth of 150 fathoms and cre- ated two new islands. Professor Milne was asked: “Is it likely that there are volcanoes in the world at present that have been quiet for a long time, but will one day or an- other become active?” “It is almost certain there are.” “Some in Europe? “Many in Euron ‘Some in the United States?” ‘Undoubtedly. sty g Anxiety for the Consul. BOSTON, May 9.—Much anxiety is felt by relatives of Thomas Prentiss, Consul at St. Plerre, in Melrose, his native place. He is married and has two daughters, May and Christine. Miss Alice Frey, his sister-in-law, this morning received a let- ter from him In which he mentioned the signs of actlvity on Mont Pelee and the apprehension all had of danger. The let- ter was written April 25, and mention was made of the schooner Anna J. Morsé of Portland, which had just arrived, and on which he was planning to have his fam- ily leave if things looked threatening. Miss Frey belleves that the Prentiss fam- ily may have gone to Fort du France ere this and she expects a cablegram from them. Miss May was her father's secre- tary and Miss Christine was about 14 years of age. Late Shipping Intelligence. ARRIVED. Friday, May 9.

Discusses Scenes of His Play and Tells What There Is in Store for the Villian. HEATER-GOERS of this city will, in all probability, have an opportu- nity of seeing that sterling actor, Robert Fitzsimmons, tread the stage at the Central Theater before the close of this month. Negotiations were practically closed last evening between this past master of hooks and jabs and Messrs. Belasco and Thall, and within a few weeks “‘Lanky Bob" will be electrity- ing audie: ces by nis acting in “The Hon- If you leave it to the ex-champion boxer of the world this play gives him every chance to display his versatility as an actor.

A Mr. Bolse of Honofulu was introduced as a representative of the Iolanl Hoa& Club. He sald he came here empowere: to arrange shell races ‘between repre- sentatives of this city and Honolulu. He stated that upon investigation he found that the oarsmen on this coast usad skiffs and barges instead of shells. He said he hoped, however, that at some future time créws of this city might visit Honolulu and test their prowess against the members of his club. Secretary E. J. Lynch was instructed to send notices to the clubs notifying them of the regatta and instructing their men to make their entries in time. EAST CHESTER HANDICAP IS CAPTURED BY OHNET The Chestnut Son Conrad Beats | of the severest critics in the land. As the honest blacksmith he puts such stai as James J. Corbett, Terry McGovern and Jimmy Britt in eclipse. The gentleman wno usually plays the part of the villain at the Central would petter go into active training, as “Lanky Bob’ is an enthusiast, and when his lines call upon him to smite the destroyer of his happiness he lands no love tap, but swings as if the object of his righteous wrath was an opponent in the ring. It is sometimes necessary for Bob to throw the same villain through a window, and he gently lifts the actor and hurls him through with becoming grace. During the progress of the play, A Mr. Fitzsimmons is called upon to rescue the leading lady, who Is locked in a room. Not possessing a key, he loudly exclaims, “I always carry my key with me.” Sul ng the action to the words, he swings his freckled fist against the door and shatters it. It may not be generally known, but it is a fact, Bob is possessed ‘of a melodious voice. During the play he gives the audience a sample of his vocal powers, and, according to the self- same Bob, the audience usually yells for more. There is a gymnasium scene, and the challenger of Jeffries gives the spectato! an idea of what he can do with a punc ing bag. He always ends the scene by sending the inflated sphere from its platform with a well-directed smash. The spectators see a genuine prizefight with the aid of a plcture machine. It is supposed to be a vision, but they watch the Australian boxer send Gustavus Ruh- lin into the land of dreams.

SACRAMENTO, May 9.—The fate of the spring race meeting to be held under the auspices of the Capital City Turf Club at Agricultural Park next week is in the hands of Mayor Clark. Twelve or fourteen carloads of horses have becn brought here. It is conceded That unless poois are aliowed to be sold, the meet will be so unprofitable as not to justify the effort.
