FORT DE FRANCE, MART1NIQUE,
Thursday, May 22.?At 5 o"clock this af
tcrnoon the sky was clear and the popu
lation was calm; but dcspitc this favor
abie chango in the situation, many fam
ihes left Fort de France by the irrench
Stcaniers Vorsailles and tlie Ville de
Tangcs for tho Island of Trinidad and
for Caycnne. French Guiana. Tliis, with
the 1,200 persons who have gone to the
Island of Guadaloupe, and many others
who have sougftt refugc at St- Lu'cia and
othcr islands, has lesscned -ie popula
tion considerably. Bcsides theso some
2,000 people have left for the southern
parts of tno Island of Martinlque, where
3,000 refugecs have now assemblcd.
This desertion of Fort de France has re
sulted in tho disorganizatlon of many
trades. A numbcr of bakers have been
eompcllcd to ch>se their storcs, owing to
the fac.t that their cmploycs are among
Ihose who have ffed.
MONT FELEE ASSUR1NG.
The LFrcnch cruiscr Tage, having Ad
miral Servari on board", arrived here
this evening. She reported that Mont
Pclee now prescnls a more rcassuring
aspect. Tho clouds of smoke leaving the
ciatcr mingle with the clouds in the sky,
and do not have the threatcning aspect
?which they formerly prcsentcd. A ncw
ciator has formed in tho vicinlty of
Ajoupa Bouillon.
Tho Unitcd States steamcr Potomac
made her usual trip to St Picrro to-day
?with another party of scientists. She
found tho condltions there unchansed
'from yesterday. The top of tho tnnun
1ain was clearly visiblo for a conslder
nble time. Captain McLcan. of the
-TJnitod Statcs cruiscr Cincinnati, who has
carefuly obserbed Mont Pelce, agrccs
with othcr experts in reporting that a
jiew crater has been formed below the
old ono. In the ncw crater there is a
great cindcr conc, mnro than a hundred
feet high, from which steam and vol
canio matter is constantly pouring.
MAY BE MORE VIOLENT.
It is now tho unanimous opinion of the
ecientists that this is an csplosive voi?
canic, no rcal lava or moya roek ma
ter'al having been emlttcd, only mud,
Eteam, ga.sscs and fragmcnts of the old
crater beds. The scientists comparc the
imoimtain's outthrow to the steam of a
boilcr in which the pressurc rises to
bursting point. and they think it popsible
that a more vinlent outbrcak may occur.
The scientists remnrk tbat the cxplosions
have occurred progrcssively at lonfror
intervals. and that they have also been
progrPFsivcly more violcnt Thus there
has been tliree light eruptions of ashes.
On May 5th there was an ovorfiow of
jnud. which caused the dostruction of the
tJelne Ouerin: on May Sth there was
the outburst which deptroyed St. Pierre.
and on May 20th or nflcr an intcrval of
twelve days, the last tremendous out
burr.t occurred. A new period of rest is
now on and one of two things may hap
pcn. The prcssure may be confined for
a still longcr period. and then cxplode
wilh still greater violence, sprcadi:nr <'? -
Ftruction over a vast area. and the -,!-????>

HOLD CAUCU5 SOON.
Members of the Council to Nominate
City Officials.
The forty-seven members of the City
Ccrhcil elected on Thursday and the nine
hold-over Aloermen all of whom _ are
Democrats; will holG a caucus withta. a
Week or tcn days to decide upon a llst
?f city officials to be elected in July, This
is the customary method of quieting the
robul! ehergy of a large number of would
e public servants. whose activity flnds
V^re-ion in numherless demands upon
the time and attention of the members of
* h new Council at the most inoppor
Muie "ea?on. when these gentlemen are
t'neditating upon the legislation of large
Icope and^import which awaits the con
<ideration of that body.
vTw if anv. of the larger ofhcials will
have ^pposit'ion. The City Engineer. the
? P rintendents of the water works and
the gas works and other officials of this
crade will bc re-elected as a matter of
foVmaiity. No one thinks for? a? ntoment
of suggesting a rival candidate. The
s:.me thing is true of the gas inspector
the city clerk, the sergeant-at-arms and
the clerk of Council eommlttces. The
re-elcction of the gentlemen who have
i lied these posltions with efficiency and
c-.tire satisfaction has all along been re
gai-ded as a foregone conclusion. Some
of the smaller posltions are much sought
<\>r. and tbere is quite a list of them.
There will be few changes in the person
nel of the City Hall force/ however.
The total vote cast in the city for City
Sergrant, the only general rity ofilce in
?which the Democratic npminee had op
position, was 3,254, of which Mr. Smith
received 3,043, or over ninaty-three per
cent., and Mr. Redmond 211, or over six
ptr cent. Mr. Redmond took his defeat
pilosophically, and heartily congratulated
Mr. Smith upon his rc-election. Mayor
Taylor was much pleased with the fact
that he led the ticket of the general city
officials.
Tho ballots have all been turned over
(o the clerk of the Hustings Court, prop
erly sealed and certified to. They will
be officially counted by the Board of Can

THEY IN OUT
The Jefferson" Ward Democrats
Are for Proclama?
tion.
_The 'mass-meeting of the citizans of
Jefferson Ward at Old Market Hall last
nlght to consider and pass upon tho
question of proclaiming or submitting the
Constitution was poorly attended. Some
thfrty-five or forty men were present
when Mr. Gecrge W. Harton, of the City
Democratic Committee, called the meet
ing to order. Mr. Morgan R, Milis was
elected chairman. He introduced Mr.
James AV. Gordon, one of the members
of the convention from Richmond.
Mr. Gordon, in an informal apeech cf
half an hour. very ciearly and satisfac
torily set forth the provfsions and
changes proposed in the new Constitution
in ihe government of cities and in the
requirements for the (enjoyment of the
electric franchise. After Mr. Gordon had
taken his seat Chairman Mills stated that
Mr. A. C. Braxton, of the convention,
had been invited to address tho meating,
but had sent his regrets becausa of a
previous ermagement.
The matter next before the meeting,
Chairman Mills stated, was an expres
sion by vote on the question of proclama
tion or submission. Mr. J. A. Harrison
moved that the sense of the meeting was
that the Constitution should be pro
claimed. Captain John A. Curtis was op
posed to proelamatton. As he ws.s from
Marshall AVard, however, he decliried to
take a prominent part in the discussion.
Mr. J. L. Botto was also opposed to proc
lamation. He moved as a substitute that
the sense of the meeting was that tlie
Constitution should bo submitted. The
viva voce vole that followed was not re
garded as conclusive. The point was
raised that several voted who were not
residents of the ward. Chairman Milis
then asked that those voting raise their
hands.
Before this voto was taken there was
another flow of oratory.
Mi. Frauk Murphy desired to set forth
that he was a submissionist. but Chair
man Mills quieted him with a vigorously
worded reminder that he was a Repub
lican and that Democrats were running
that meeting. Mr. J. F. Don Leavy was
also a submissionist, but did not give
his views at length. Chairman Mills fa
vove'd proclamation. The twenty-five per
cc-nt. tax reduction clause- pleased him.
The vote was then taken. The sub
m.ssioriists claimod that ten men held up
their hand for submission to only seven
for proclamation. Chairman Mills, how?
ever, prefaced his labors as officlal count
cr with the announcement that he was
only going to count Jefferson Ward resi?
dents, and concluded then with the an?
nouncement that the vote was a tie?
seven to seven. Then the vote was taken
over again, but with the same result
Tt was ciearly up to Chairman Mills, but
he was equai to the occasion, and with
some hesitation and reluctance cast the,
dociding vote for proclamation, which thus
won out by .1 vole of cight to seven, and
tho meeting adjourned.
"AnyhowT Wo skinned Clay AVard to
Jeath." said Chairman Mills, as the
meeting broke up. "They had fourteen
mc-n present and we had forty.*'
Mr. Gordon's talk brought out the views
cf one or two of thp gentlemen present.
Aldcrman Beck, of Jackson AVard. thought
:he Constitution should have provided for
a Bmaller nnmber of snlaried members
of the Conncil. Mr. Frank Murphy was
of the snmo niin.I on this point. A gen
tlcman just in frbnt of Mr. Gordon gave
repeated indications that the matter of
the support of negro schools by white
tax payers rested rather heavily upon
his mind. Mr. Beck and one> or two oth
ors called attention to the recent Demo?
cratic unnnimity in Jackson AArard as an.
r.rgument that the negroes are not in it
at this time, and that no franchise change
is demnnded. Mr. Gordon. however.
?*eered clear of all the pitfalls that were
set for him. and pave a valuable and in
teresting explanation of some of the
provisions of the new Constitution,
which Jefferson AVard would have been
fortunate to have heard at a more largely
attended meeting.
