The report brought by tho royal
mull steamer Ynreer which has arrived
at Castries, Island of St. Lucia, II, W.
I., of the loss of L',000 lives through the
recent outbreak of Mont Pelpe, referred
to tlie deaths since Aug. 30, and not to
the loss of life resulting from the re
ported outbreak of Wednesday, Sept. 3.
The state department has received
the following cablegram from United
States Consul Jekyl at Fort de France,
relative to the latest eruplfous of Mont
l'elce:
"Two violent eruptions of Mont
Pclee, Aug. 30, destroyed village of
Mornc Uouge, Ajoupa lloulllon, devas
tating area Including Parnassu Mournc,
Carbot Mournc, Ilallatll llourdon
Heights. Estimated 1,. ',00 killed; many
Injured."
Ills generally believed that the Isl
and of Martinique Is doomed to total
destruction, aud the fear Is that when
the catastrophe comrs, Uuadelope will
be visited by nn all-destructive tidal
wave. lluslness Is absolutely at a
standstill. Few shops are open, and If
It were not for the elTorts of a small
number of the more valiant souls, hun
dreds would starve to death here, be
cause of their fear of a more terrible
death.
Details that have been received dur
ing the last two days, prove that the
eruption on Mont Pclee of August 30
was far more violent than any of the
earlier explosions.
As tlie eruptions continue, the mouth
of Mont Pelee grows In size. Ills now
of enormous proportions. Morne La
croix, one of the peaks that reared sky
ward from the south side of Pelee, has
fullen bodily Into the crater and has
been completely swallowed. There
seems to be a side pressure In the cra
ter and the burning chasm widens per
ceptibly every day.
Clouds no more hung about the crest
of Mont Pelee. The terrific heat seems
to drive everything away. The column
of flame and smoke rears directly into
the heavens so that its top Is lost tn
sight. In the darkuess of the night it
has tlie appearance of a stream of mol
ten irou, stundlng fixed between
heaven and earth. From Morne Cape
the relief troops were compelled to
make a quick retreat, although they
succeeded In taking out u few wound
ed. Tho entire country nearly to Fort
de France Is buried uuder it deep cover
of ushes. This lias made it almost im
possible to find tho bodies of those who
havo perished while fleeing to the sea
toast. Constnntlnc Cnrru, one of the few
who succeeded In escaping from Morne
llougc after tho explosion, found refuge
off the steamer Hsk. She was with
twelve others In her house when Pelee
gave Its first warning of the disaster
which it was about to pour upon the
upon the village. She said that tlie
first explosion destroyed many houses.
She wns hurled with great force,
against the wall of the room In which
was sitting. On recovering from tho
bhnck, she run outside, and there saw
three sepernte tougiiesof lire sweeping
down fiom the mouth of tlie volcano.
The earlh shook with so great vlolencu
that she could not retain her feet.
She wus blinded by tho glare of tlie
flumes. The heal wus so terrific thut
her flesh was bllsteied. She awaited
the death she believed to be Inevitable.
Fortunately the flames swept to onu
side of her und she wns saved.
At (irande An si- the tide swept 300
feet in shore, destroying many houses
und drowning scores of Inhabitants.
