The olcano threatens further destruc- tion, and there are many who be lieve that an explosion even more serious than that of ten days ago will mark the culmination of the activity of Pelee. Ashes were spouted in great clouds from crater all day yesterday. The ex- | plosion began in the early morning, when a black column rose above Mont Pelee, accompanied by internal rumblings and a tremor of the earth that sent the seas back from the land in powerful waves. This column was first caught by a cur- ent of air that carried it northward. Then an upper current swept it back in the cpposite direction. hus it made an immense and well-formed letter T, the base of which rested in a cup of flames, the crest of the volcano from which it sprang. MANTLE OF DARKNESS. The wind veered and a mantle of dark- ness was swept westward across the is- | dand, enveloping Fort de France, upon which volcanic dust fell to a depth of more than an inch and a half. So heavy was the dust that filled the air that respi- ration became a labor, and a fear of suf- | focation came upon the inhabitants. Great alarm _continued for more than | four hours, and it was not until the cloud of ashes blew out to sea in the early even- ing that confidence was restored. All last night the summit of Mont Pelee had the appearance of a gigantic blast furnace at which a great force was working. Flames shot skyward in sheets that at times lighted up the entire island. For a few minutes the fires would drop back into the mouth of the crater, only to reissue with redoubled force. These flames continue to stream from the crater to-day, and with.so great force that they are visible from St. Marie, a village in the extreme north of the is- land. The atmosphere is full of dust, and the heat is terrific. Life on the island is all but unbearable, and the suffering of the refugees who continue to crowd into Fort de France is extreme. ROBBED AND BURNED. Rain fell here to-day for the first time in a_ fortnight. This long drought and the fact that the grass has been burled under a layer of ashes has made it par- 2 difficult to obtain fodder for the nd cattle, which are dying in ted numbers. Notwithstanding the rain the tempera- ture to-night is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a mark from which it has receded only during the fall of rain since early this morning. Despite ‘the precautions taken by the authorities looting continues in the north of the dsland, though it has. practically seen stopped in St. Plerre. In the country many houses have been robbed and burned. Soldiers have been sent out with instructions to take severe measures if but put a stop to the dis- order. In Fort de France supplies are being dealt out to the refugees by the authori- ties. A committee has been formed to inves- tigate all applications for relief, so that those unworthy shall not impose on the generous. ADMIT FEAR OF DEATH. Letters From People of St. Pierre Who Failed to Heed Warning. PARIS, May 19.—Martinique mails, for- warded just prior to the recent disaster, arrived here yesterday. One most inter- esting letter is from a young lady, who was among the victims. It was dated May 3. After describing the aspect of 8t. Plerre before dawn, the town being lit up with flames from the voicano, every- thing covered with ashes and the people greatly excited, yet not panic. stricken, she said: “My calmness astonishes ‘me. I am awaiting the event tranquilly. My only suffering is from the dust, which pen- etrates everywhere, even through closed windows and doors. We are all calm. Mamma is not a bit anxious. Edith alone is frightened. If death awaits us there will be 2 numerous company 1o leave the werld. Will it be by fire or asphyxiation? It will be what God wills. You will have our last thoughts. Tell brother Robert that we are still alive. This will, per- haps, be no longer true when this letter readhes you.” The Edith mentioned #as a lady visitor, who was among the rescyed. This and other letters inclosed samples of the ashes, which fell over the doomed town. The ashes are a bluish gray impalpable powder, resembling newly ground flour | and slightly smelling of suiphur. Another letter, written during the after- noon of May 3, says “The population of the neighborhood of the top of the mountain is flocking to the city. Business is suspended, the inhab- itants are panic stricken and the firemen are sprinkling the streets and roofs to settle the ashes, which are filling the air.” These and other letters seem to indicate that evidences of the impending disaster were numerous five days before it oc- curred. It is difficult to understand how it was that a general exodus of the population of St. Plerre did not take place before May 8. Still another letter says: ““St. Pierre presents an aspect unknown to the natives. It is a city sprinkled with gray snow, a winter scene without cold. The inhabitants of the neighborhood are abandoning their houses, villas and cot- tages and are flocking to the city. It is a curious pell-mell of women, children and barefooted peasants, big black fellows loaded with household goods. The air is oppressive; your nose burns. Are we go- ing to die asphyxiated?

WASHINGTON, May 19.—George R. Mosle, a sugar broker, testified before the Committee on Relations with Cuba to-day that Havemeyer was not interested in certain plantations in Cuba, as had been alleged. He said there was about 450,000 tons of sugar stored in Cuba now. The Cubans, he sald, believed concessions would be made and accepted the Platt amendment on that account. ‘When he asserted that the Cubans had discontinued work because many of the people did not have the money with which to go on Senator Teller asked: ““Will you tell me any firm in Cuba that has suspended operations and has not greund its crop?” “I cannot.” “No, nor anybody else,” remarked Tel- ler. 2 John Farr, a sugar dealer, contradicted statements made by Leavitt as to the countervailing duty, saying Cuba got all THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 20, 190%.

Indescribable Torture of Some St. Vincent Victims. KINGSTON, St. Vincent, Saturday, May 17.—The continued heat thrown out by the lava ‘prevents any one approaching the voleanic mountain. From the sea the es. tates of Wallibu and Richmond present a scene of desolution. They are bereft of vegetation, and all the buildings on them have been destroyed. No iving being is seen and no sound of any king is heard, Small jets of steam issue at in- tervals from various spots on the planta- tions as a warning to visitors, and the few courageous persons who have ap- proached the locality have found the earth there to be too hot to venture upon, The volcano was apparently quiet Thurs- day until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. At this hour a distinct discharge of steam occurred and a bulky white ‘cloud issued from the extreme right of the mountain, verifying the belief that a new crater had been formed on the windward side. It is presumed that La Soufriere will in the future remain active. The surtound- ing country will then be uninhabitable, The earth in that locality is covered with voleanic dust several feet in depth.

Oranges will not suffer, as the bulk of the crop already is shipped, but blooming fruit trees prob- ably were injured. Late planted graim wili suffer, as the winds have parched the sofl. An increase of irrigation is made necessary. Continued high north winds and sand storms are predicted for the next twenty-four hours. Neither the Southern Pacific nor the Santa Fe suffered damage from the blow. According to advices which reached the headquariers of both systems the wind was dving down to the eastward. In the of Newport beach it has been blowing a hurricane all day. The storm reached as far east as Yuma, on ths Southern Pacific, and Barstow on the Santa Fe. SAN JOSE, May 19.—The high wind which swept through Santa Clara Val- ley yesterday shook off much of the green fruit in the different orch- ards that received the heaviest part of the gale. The apricot crop suffered most, and cherries and prunes did not escape. However, as all of the varieties named, with the exception of prunes, are so plentiful as to require a liberal thin- ning the loss was probably more of an | advantage, as a rule, than a detriment. | Shade trees suffered somewhat, poplars | in particular losing many limbs owing to | the brittle nature of the branches.

There will be no sugar or arrowroot prgduced in the island this year. In the hospitals are now 140 pa- tients, all suffering from burns or from the effects of inhaling suffocating gases. Supplies are being given out daily to more than 4000 refugees. It is planned that Government loans will be made to such as are able to resume work upon estates and as soon as possible the island will be returned to a self-supporting state. It is not desired that charity be accepted to any greater extent than is absolutely re- quired. P e N SUSPENDS SUBSCRIPTIONS. President Thinks Enough Relief Has Been Supplied. WASHINGTON. May 19.—The following statement was given out at the White House to-day: “On Saturday, immediately on receiving Consul Ayme’s dispatch, the President directed the secretaries of War and Navy to inquire as to what was the direct con- dition of affairs at Martinique and St. Vincent. These reports will be made pub- | lic as soon as received.

The loss as a result of the volcanic eruption includes not only the present crops of the island, but cuitivation will be impeded for some years to come. Serious fears are entertained that an- other eruption will occur at the foot of the volcano, where steam is continually issuing from small fissures. The locality is cracked all over. The strange color and the great depth of the new inlet of the sea on the Wallibu estate imply that an eruption occurred there, and that a new crater has been formed which extends from the land into the sea. The sufferings of the afflicted demand more consideration than the loss of life. The torture of the victims was indescribable; many of them were literally roasted. A further shipment of medical appli- ances, food and bedding arrived here yes- terday. Three thousand of the affiicted are being housed and fed by the Govern- ment, and the distress on the island of St. Vincent must last for some months to come. A sad story is related by a lad of 14 years, who lived in a village called Over- land, which was demolished. His father, mother and nine brothers and sisters were killed by the burning eruption. The boy heard nothing of them and two days after the disaster he went to Overland in search of his family.
