SOUTH SEIS SWEPT IT HURRICANE Tahiti and all tho islands of tho Society group were swept by a tremendous tidal wave on tho nlg.it of 7th, and the tidal wave was followed by one of tho most disastrous hurricanes ever known in the South Seas. More than one hundred islands were devastated, the principal island, Tahiti, probably suffering less in to its importance than any of tho others, and about 28,000 persons were alloctcd by tho great disaster. There has been no such other tragedy in the South Seas during modern times, and it is improbablo that the historic devastation, similar in nature, of about 125 years ago was of such serious coiuoq.uenco. Tho water front of Papeete suffered terribly, being almost totally destroyed and houses swept two or three hundred yards uptown. Tho postofflco and tho harbor master's residenco wero entirely destroyed. The streets aro obstructed by broken houses, furniture, lumber and beddings. What was once a thriving town is now a barren wasto. If during tho day of February 8th a southeast gale had sprung up thcro would not have remained one stono upon another in the wholo town. In tho harbor of Papceto lios an island, called Motu-Uta. It is used as a powder deposit by tho Trench and also as a quarantine station, ono man alone living there, acting as a guardian of the powder. When tho sea roso to an enormous height and was washing tho houses and everything clso from tho island, this man thought to save his life, but when ho went to get the boat ho found it had been washed away. With a lantern he mado distress signals to tho shore, which wero duly noted by the people there. The French gunboat Zclco did not send a boat to him, but tho pilot of Papceto had to go and beg a boat of the commander of the gunboat. Tho pilot manned it and tried heroically thrco times to cot to tho poor man's assistance, but tho task was already hopeless ana tno lsiana guardian was doomed. Captain Lawless of tho Oceanic steamer Mariposa, which reached San Francisco from Tahiti on March 3d, said: "At Papceto tho waves wrecked tho houses along tho beach and for two hundred yards back. Tho merchants tuffercd great loss, but tho natives, who mostly livo near tho water front, lost all thoy had. Their all is very little at any "tlmo, but it is a great deal to them. Clothes of light material, prints and calicoes and money to buy nails, hinges and lumber would be a help. Food, too, I suppose, would bo in order. However, pooplo who know their condition will say that tho sutler ing will be greater in a month or two, as nearly all the food trees aro blown down. After loaving Tahiti to Kept a sharp lookout for derelicts. At daylight we sighted a schooner, which wo shaped our courso for. When sho came up we found a Jirew of excited men, who told us in vJohcmcnt language that tho islands ticra all swept away. They camo from some island east of Banjerva, probably Takarava, and wero bound to Tikahau for provisions." DETAILS OF DISASTER Tho Chronicle of JliircU 4, received yesterday, sajs. A hundred vears of calm in the South seas has been broken by tho ureatest liurricaao that oven tradition ' can record a storm of Mich magnitude that no man caa ostininto tho loss of lifo on tho ihaia of islands that forms the Society and T.iumotu groups, or which the city of 1'apiote, oa the northern coast of" Tahiti, is the inpitiil. Sinco the men of tho Tnglish Bounty mutinied there in 1790 there has been no event in tho history of Tahiti of such importune o us tho hurricane that laid wasto the fair isles on the 7th and 8th of last month.

Seventy-five buildings wore inundated nt Papeete, including tho American consulate nnd the Trench government building. The American consulate was the oldest building in Papeete, having been built in 1S3G.

Merchants and their clerks hurried to their stores when the storm broke, only to find that it was impossible to savo anything. The guardian of the arsenal, Toller Adams, was in tho water for mnny hours, and assisted in warning mnny persons who might otherwise have been drowned. The village of Tnronn, near tho arson il, was completely swept avvny. It consisted of mission buildings and homes of native converts of the reorganized Litter Day Saints' Mission, formerlv tinilir the direction of Captain Joseph 'lliirtnn of California. A settlement about an eighth of a mile distant, consisting of dwellings of several hundred Conk Islnndcrs, Hritish subjects, was entirely destroyed, but the inhabitants saved themselves bv taking to tho hills.
