PIERRE to Save Sufferers From Death. Special Dispatch to The Call TN ALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHING- TON, May 10.—With an un- selfishness and spontaneity that have impressed the rep- resentatives of foreign govern- ments in Washington the United States has taken measyres for the relief of the sufferers from the awful cataclysm which devastated Martinique. The cruiser Cincinnati has been ordered to proceed to the island without delay to investigate and report upon the situation and extend aid to the survivors. The ocean tug Potomac may now be on her way from the naval station at San Juan. The training ship Dixie has been ordered to prepare for sea and she will be sent to Fort de France should additional aid be required. The action of the administration was indorsed and supplemented by the Sen- ate to-day, which passed a bill appro- priating $100.000 for the relief of the dis- tressed of Martinique. This bill would have gone through the House with the| same impressive promptness that it re- ceived action in the Senate had .it not been for the officious and uncalled for objection of Representative Oscar W. Underwood, a parsimonious and narrow “statesman” from Alabama. Though suf- ficient official and unofficial information had been received showing the awfulness of the catastrophe Underwood expressed the opinion that Congress should await the receipt of ‘“‘official details,” and it will not be possible for the House to act taken up and passed. CONSULS ARE CABLED. This was an anxious day for the Gov- | ernment. The President is taking special | interest in the disaster, but the State De- | partment was unable to furnish him with | any information. Consul Ayme at Guade- | loupe suggested vesterday that he be per- mitted to proceed to Martinjque and See- | retary Hay cabled him permission this | morning. He is now on his way, having | sailed on the French man-of-war Suchet, | which is carrying supplies to thé destitute of the devastated island. 2 The department has made inquiries Consuls at other points in the West In- dies and within forty-cight hours.hopes to be advised of the extent of the dam- age wrought by the eruption. The State Department, having been notified late this afternoon that the situa- | tion in Santo Domingo was more orderly Assistant Seeretaty of State Hill called upon Secretary of the Navy Moody and | suggested, in the light of this informa- that the Cincinnati be directed to porceed to Martinique. Secretary Moody and Rear Admiral Taylor, Chief of the Burcau of Navigation, had been consid- ering the advisability of ordering the ves- sel to Martinique and carlier in the day bad indicated to Captain Yates Stirling, commandant of the naval station at San Juan, that he might dispatch the ocean tug Potomac to Fort de France. The or- ders cabled by Secretary Moody to Com- mander McLean, commanding the Cin- cinpati, read: “Proceed to Martinique. Render such assistance as possible. Use your discre- tion. Report by cable when practicable. Correspondents of American newspapers can go if you are wiiling.” DIXIE WILL SAIL. As more than one ship might be needed, Secretary Moody also telegraphed this message to the commandant of the New York navy a: “Order Dixie to prepare for sea as soon Report when she can be as practicable. ready.” Secretary Moody estimated to-day that the Cincinnati can coyer the 600 miles sep- arating Santo Demingo and Martinique within forty-eight hours. This would necesgitate the Cincinnati steaming at a constant speed of between twelve and thirteen knots per hour. As she has a maximum speed of mineteen knots per houf, it is apparent that she ean easily arrive at Martinique by Monday. This wiil give her time to take coal aboard at San Domingo or stop at some intervening point. In directing Commander McLean to use discretion. Secretary Moody has in mind the fate reported to have overtaken two relief steamers which were sunk while endeavoring to reach St. Pierre. The action of the Senate upon the bill for the relicf of sufferers of Martinique has earned for that body the warmest praise of officials and diplomats. ' Senator Fairbanks offered the bill which appro- priated $100,000 and authorjzed the Presi- dent of the United States to expend it in | the purchase of such “provisions, cloth- | ing. medicine and other necessaries as | he shall deem advisable and tender the | same in the name of the Government of | the United States to the Government of France for the relief of citizens who have suffered by the Jate disaster in the islands " The bill fur- ther authorizes the Secretary of War to use the necessary steamships belonging to the United States to carry its purpose into effect. Senator Fairbanks requested immediate consideration of thq measure, saying: NEED FOR RELIEF. “We are shocked by the intelligence | which comes to us of the great destruc- | tion of life and property on the island of | Nartinique and of the probable loss to both life and property in adjacent islands. In a1l history there seems to have been but one disaster of similar character which equals it. It would seem from the reports which have come to us that it is exceeded only by the destructfon of Pom- peil. It 15, indeed, to be hoped that later ADVERTISEMENTS.

I believe that in tendering our sympathy and assistance we shall but interbret the wishes and de- sires of the humane generous American people.” Sympathy was on the face of every Senator when Senator Fairbanks had con- cluded his remarks. No one rose to make any further statement and a vote was taken. The Senat; unanimously passed the bill. It was taken at once to the House. Then it was that Underwood temporarily deprived his State and the country of opportunity to spontaneously do a good deed. UNDERWOOD’S “CHARITY.” ‘““There isno occasion,” he said, “for a legislative spasm. The reports of the | situation of Martinique may be exagger- ated. Some officlal report should be re- ceived before action is taken.” Representative Parne of New York urged upon Underwood to withdraw his objection. Underwood persisted, however, and the bill, under the rules, had to go over without action until Monday. Un- derwood, who thus earned for himself unenviable hotorfety, hails from Birming- bam, Alabama, where he has posed as a charitable citizen. He was educated in Kentucky and Virginia and upon gradu- ation began the practice of law. He has been in Congress elght years. His con- duct to-day has sub‘ccted him to harsh criticism and one member was heard to observe that it was apparent that not- withstanding Underwood's professions, 'he certainly did not practice charity when be had an opportunity to do so. Tn spite of his objection it seemed | strange that he should vote immediately after the consideration of the Martinique | relfef bill was postponed for a measure appropriating money to print 5000 coples R AR PROMPTLY IN SENDING AID ARIS, May 10.~At a meeting of the PF‘rench Cabinet this morning * the Minister of Finance, M. Caillaux, was authorized to oxpend all the money necessary to succor the sufferers of the Martinique disaster. An official of the Colonial Office sailed from Brest for Martinigue this morning with half a mil- lion francs ($100.000) in cash. The Cabinet further decided to order the half-masting of flags over all public bulldings for three days, and the Minister of the Colonies, M. Decrals, was in- structed to telegrapli to the Government of Martinique the condolences of France. The Minister of Marine has recelved | the following undated dispatch from | Pointe-a-Pitre, island of Gaudeloupe, from the commander of the French crufs- er Suchet: “1 have obtained the following informa- tion of the events of yesterday: Ahom‘ 8 o'clock the volcano threw up a consid- | crable mass of smoke and earth. A whirl- wind of fire immediately followed. In- stantly the whole town of St. Plerre was in flamee, and the ships in the harbor were dismasted and burned. The shower of rocks lasted a quarter of an hour. I arrived at St. Plerre at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, saved a few persons from the ships. I saw no living creature in St. Pierre, to which it was impossible to pen- etrate. There were numerous corpscs near the quay.” A telegram from the Governor of the island_of Gaudeloupe contains the latest ed at the Colonifal Office. After announc- ing that the French cruiser Suchet ha4 thirty survivors on board, the Governor of Gaudeloupe says: “Everything tends to the belief that the Governor of the colony, M. L. Mouttet, DR.

A few private telegrams received here renew the hope that some of the inhabi- tants of St. Pierre escaped. The Bishop of Martinique sent a cable- gram from Fort de France, forwarded at 5:30 p. m. yesterday, announcing the safe- ty of Pastor King of 8t. Plerre, who caped the disaster and sought refuge at Morne Rouge. It is hoped that others fled. there. Cable meessages have begn received by the southern route. All uie northern ca- bles are interrupted. At least fifty families at Bordeaux are bereaved. Most of the business of St. Pierre was transacted through Bordeaux. The wife of Senator Knight has receiv- ed a cable dispatch from her husband, dated- Fort de France, Martinique, at 3 p. m. vesterday, saying: ‘“Well.
