PPOKAXE, Jan. 16. — A water compe
tition and tlie rights of roast cities ngr
ur«»d largely In the defense of the
transcontinental linos at the rate hear
ing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission this afternoon.
S*»th Mann of San Francisco intro
duced H. E. D. Jackson of the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company to show
that it can carry freight from New
York to Fan Francisco in twenty-five
days, thereby equaling the average time
of the railroads and that the rate was
-0 to Ggl per cent cheaper. He ad
mitted that no rate schedules were
maintained, the price varying with dif
ferent customers and depending largely
upon conditions. He said the comple
tion of arrangements for transferring
freight and hauling It across the Isth
mus of Tehauntepec rendered this sav
ing of time possible.
Commissioner Prouty, In reply to a
suggestion from Mann that he would
have more testimony to introduce In
behalf of the coast jobbers at subse
quent hearings on the same issue at
Denver and San Francisco, asked point
b!fM>.k:
"What reason is there for continuing
this hearing at the coast cities? Can't
we grt all the testimony here?" Mann
replied: "\San Francisco merchants had
not been apprised of the nature and
importance of the test case instituted
l>y Spokane in time to complete their
defense."
J. G. Woodward, general traffic man
nfr»-r of the Northern Pacific testified
today in behalf of the defense and ad
mitted on cross examination that It
wan the railroad's policy to haul all
freight across the Cascades. 400 miles
beyond Spokane, to be distributed back
within 100 miles of Spokane and even
over In Idaho and Montana at better
rates than Spokane merchants could
obtain.
Commissioner Prouty questioned the
common sense of this method, but
Woodward upheld it as practicable. He
recounted the history of the rate fight
and said from 1893 to 1698 there \u25a0was a
freight war during which the rate was
reduced to 30 cents per 100 from New
York to San Francisco, which caused
the roads during that time to route
their shipments as much as practicable
away from San Francisco and develop
the northern ports.

Continued from Page 1, Column 7
in twenty-four hours after the arrival
in this city of Mrs. Kendall and the
nurse with the body of the deceased,
another nurse from San Francisco ar
rived and registered at a local hotel.
The second nurse made an appoint
ment with the one who accompanied
the remains and they were in consul
tation. The authorities sent persons
to interview them, but they declined
to give any information desired.
The fact that the second nurse fol
lowed the first so closely, that they
held a conference and then that both
declined to talk, leads those who are
investigating ; the matter to believe
that the second nurse was hurried
here with instructions to warn the
first nurse not to give out any infor
mation which she might possess
about the case.
A motive for foul play is not lack
ing, according to the authorities. It
is pointed out that Kendall, who was
the body-guard of Francis J. Heney,
was also a most active agent in the
prosecutions which bid fair to send
several of San Francisco's prominent
men to prison.
Oscar J. Kendall died at the Lane
Hospital on Thursday, January 10,
after an illness of a few days- His
death was ascribed to spinal menin
gitis, which followed a severe cold
and an attack of pneumonia. No re
port was made here other than that
Kendall died from natural causes.

Situation in Ruined City
Said to Be One of Horror
Advices From St. Thomas Declare Stench Is
Awful and Misery Is Indescribable
ST. •\u25a0 THOMAS, D. W. 1., Jan. 16.— Reports received here from Jamaica say that it is esti
mated that 1000 persons have been killed by, the, earthquake and fire, and that 90,000 persons are
homeless. The damage to Kingston alone is placed at fully $10,000,000.
Advices received from Jamaica are that all people have been warned to keep away, from King
ston. The stench is described as awful. Money, i s useless. . The banks have been burned, but the
vaults are supposed to be safe. The misery on all sides is indescribable. Rich and poor alike are
homeless.- Provisions of all kinds are urgently heeded.
Sir James Ferguson, vice chairmanof the Royal Mail Steamship Company, is among the killed.
The dead are being buried under the smoldering, ruins.. People in the mercantile community suffered
most severely, warehouses falling on them. Many men arc dead or injured. The negroes are loot-
Ing. Ghastly scenes are being wit
nessed. All the shops have been de
stroyed and all the buildings In and
around Kingston are In ruins. Very
few of them are safe to live in.
The Governor and his party are safe.
It is reported that an extinct vol
cano in the parish of Portland is show
ing signs of activity, but this has not
been verified. No news has yet been
received from other parts of the island
of Jamaica. Communication is dif
fl.cult.
Great Anxiety Is
Felt in London
LONDON. Pan. 18.— -The brief dispatch
received here tonight from Kingston
direct, declaring that 100 persons had
been killed In the earthquake on Mon
day, leaves the country apparently to
renewed suspense as to the fate of
Jamaica's capital. Earlier reports. In
cluding Government dispatches, had
tended to minimize the worst features
of the first messages received, and"al
though there is an inclination still to
credit these official accounts In the ab
sence of confirmation of the latter re
ports, the relief felt this afternoon
tends to give place to despondency at
the possibility that the worst fears
will be realized when the full accounts
of the disaster come to hand.
Two things stand out of the general
gloom and bring Intense satisfaction
to the British public. The first is the
fact confirmed tonight In a dispatch
from Sir Alfred Jones himself that the
Jones party is safe. The second Is
found in the prompt and active steps
taken by the American Government to
Investigate the real condition and af
ford the necessary succor to the unfor
tunate city.
Special appreciation is felt at Secre
tary Metcalf's decision to act without
waiting for Congressional sanction.
All possible steps are being taken here,
but his generous action is neverthe
less appreciated.
The King and the Queen and also
the Premier. Sir Henry Campbell-Ban
nerman, have hastened to add to the
expressions of the country's sympathy
and are arranging to hold meetings to
express their sympathy and afford re
lief to the victims.
Up to a late hour tonight the Colonial
office had no further news to communi
cate and the public finds satisfaction
In the belief that the casualties among
the English residents in the Islands
have been few. At the time of the
writing of this dispatch, however, a
dispatch has been received from Sir
Alfred Jones, addressed to Elder, Demp
ster & Co., which confirms the worst
fears. The message is as follows:
"Kingston was overwhelmed by an
earthquake Monday afternoon at 3:30.
All the houses within a radius of ten
miles have been damaged and almost
all the city is destroyed. Fire broke
out after the earthquake and com
pleted the destruction. It is esti
mated that 100 persons have been
killed and 1000 injured. The public
offices and hospitals are in ruins.
Among the killed are Sir James Fergu
son, many prominent merchants and
professional men and many natives.
There are no fatalities at the vjbnstant
Springs Hotel. The business quarter
of Kingston is now smoldering ashes.
We are thankful that our party is all
right."
The message from Sir Alfred Is
practically identical with other mes
sages received from Kingston, Includ
ing one from a correspondent of the
Standard who is with the Jones"party,
with the exception that all the others
give the death list as "several hun
dred," while a dispatch of a similar
purport received by the direct West
Indian Cable Company says the loss of
life was "heavy," and adds that Port
Antonio was not badly damaged.
At the present time, therefore, it Is
quite impossible to form a reliable idea
of the number of lives lost, from the
information available.
King Edward,- through the Earl of
Elgin, Secretary of State for the Colo
nials, telegraphed to Sir Alex. Swetten
ham, Governor of Jamaica,; as follows:
"I am commanded by the King to re
quest you to express to the Inhabitants
of Kingston the horror with which his
Majesty and the Queen have learned
of the terrible catastrophe which has
befallen the town, with the loss of so
many lives, pnd the deep sympathy of
their Majesties with the sufferers and
the relations of those killed."
The Earl of Elgin and Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman also have . tele
graphed to the Governor of Jamaica
assurances of the Government's sym
pathy.
At a meeting of Jamaican proprietors
held In London tonight, at which Sir
Neville Lubbock, chairman of the West
Indian committee, presided, resolutions
of sympathy were adopted.
At the Adelphl Theater tonight, dur
ing the performance of "The Bond
man," Hall Calne came before the cur
tain and announced the safety of Sir
Alfred Jones' party. He said also that
the Lord Mayor of London. Sir W. Tre
lomar, would probably open a relief
fund tomorrow, and expressed, the hope
that the mimic representation of the
desolation of an earthquake In "The
Bondman" would open the purse strings
of the audience. Personal messages
were received here during the day an
nouncing the safety of Lord and Lady
Dudley, Lord Mountmorris, Henniker
Heaton, M. P.. and others.
It transpires that the Hall Came
mentioned as being among the party of
visitors at r Kingston Is William Hall
Calne, brother of the novelist. \u25a0
The West Indian and Panama Cable
Company's office at Bull Bay cable.sta
tion states 'that between- Bull Bay and
Kingston there la not a safe house.
Ruin and desolation are everywhere. .
John Armstrong, an official of one
of the largest establishments In Ja
maica, Informed the Associated Press
today that the latest advices he : had
received foreshadowed the r. disaster
owing to the unusual meteorological
conditions and the phenomenal drop in
temperature..
The ; telegram ; which was sent by
Governor Swettenham Is undated, but
Is presumed to have been sent on Mon
day. The text is as follows:
"Severe • earthquake shocks this
afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock,
causing considerable damage to houses
at Kingston. It was followed by a flre
which continues, though it is confined
to about one-slxteonth part of the
town containing wharves and ware
houses.* The camp hospital was de
i stroyed and thirty men were killed.
There were no officers among them.
Major Headyman was seriously In
jured. The town hospital' is crowded
with 300 Injured. The fire Is decreas-.
ing. The Myrtle' Bank Hotel has been
destroyed and also the cable office. The
conference delegates and , the members
of Sir Alfred Jones' expedition are be
lieved to be uninjured and are now on
board the Port ' Kingston. In the har
bor numbers, were; killed or ; wounded,
but the figures have not .been, ascer
tained. Light 'shocks -continue.".-- ->\u0084
The Colonial-Bank of Kingston was
burned.. The vaults with the books and
cash are safe and the members of the
staff uninjured. .?\u25a0' . *
The Colonial Office has Instructed
the Government authorities in Jamaica
to take all necessary steps to relieve
the distress and the Admiralty has or
dered the cruiser Brilliant, now at Ber
mude, <and the cruiser Indefatigable,
at Trinidad, to proceed to Jamaica and
assist In the relief work.
The flre Insurance policies In Jamaica
affected through British companies are
said to aggregate about 17,500,000. All
are guarded .by an earthquake clause
and a; leading manager today said the
companies' would not recognize any lia
bility for damages caused by the earth
quake. '
The following cablegram has been
received from a press representative
who accompanied Sir Alfred Jones and
party to .Jamaica:
"Flre broke out again tonight. The
negroes are. looting the rum shops. At
least ' 500 persons^ have been killed.
There,- are 'weird and terrible scenes.
Forty-five Invalid" soldiers were burned
to death, in 'the "military hospital. ,Sev

Kingston Temblor
Than Here
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.— The Weath
er Bureau today issued the following
bulletin: v
'The earthquake recorded at the
Weather Bureau on Monday afternoon
is undoubtedly a record of an earth
quake that Ms reported to have destroy
ed Kingston at the same hour.
"Judging from the. magnitude of the
motion recorded at Washington, we
regard the present disturbance as of
relatively slight intensity as compared
with • other ' great earthquakes, as, for
example those of San Francisco, . Val
paraiso and the great earthquake re
ported In the Indian: Ocean October i:
The amplitude of the motion .at Wash
ington in the present case. was distinct
ly less than In each'of; the. other.; great
earthquakes, and we: may therefore
conclude that the violence of , the mo
tion at Kingston was also less."

Metcalf Sends Supplies to
Jamaica at Once
Two Shiploads Are on Way to Sufferers
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.— The appeal
for food^ supplies for the Kingston
earthquake sufferers directed attention
to the fact that under ordinary condi
tions none of the Government supplies
could be used for outside relief save
by special authority of Congress. That
fact, however, did not prevent Secre
tary ' Metcalf from ordering two sup
ply, ships, with full cargoes of food, to
Jamaica at once, leaving for tomorrow
the question as to how supplies are to
be legally given -to the needy Inhabi
tants.
The War Department up to the close
of business had not acted upon the ap
plication for food, but it is assumed
that in anticipation of the . passage of
the necessary legislation by Congress
it will at least take care to get sup
plies ready -for the distributing agen
cies. There are stores of food at San
Juan, Porto Rico, and at Havana that
might be used for emergencies, leav
ing the department to draw later upon
the large stocks at New York.
Secretary. Metcalf wired Admiral
Evans at Guantanamo today to send
one or '\u25a0 more ships to Jamaica, as he
may deem desirable.
Captain Beeler, at Key "West, has in
formed the Navy Department that he
has received a wireless dispatch from
Guantanamo. stating that Admiral
Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet,
