W. 1., Sept 2.— has been" learned from the gendarmes of the Island of Martinique that 1,060 per sons, were killed and 1,500 injured dur ing the last eruptions of Mont Pelee." According to an official account the eruption of Aug. SO was one of the most severe that has been experienced. Morne Rouge and a great part of AJoupa Bouillon were destroyed.

An Earlier Report. PARIS, Sept. —The Havas Agency bas received an undated dispatch from Port de France, island of Martinique, announcing that about one thousand persons were killed and that several hundred were Injured as the result of a violent eruption of Mont Pelee on Saturday, Aug. 80, which destroyed Morne Rouge and Ajoupa Bouillon, two Villages near Mont Pelee. T The dispatch confirms the report that the village of Le Carbet was damaged by a tidal wave, which was also felt at Fort de France, where the people •were panic stricken. • The French cruisers Suchet and fl_age are embarking people in the northern part of Martinique. La Soufriere Active. KINGSTON, St. Vincent, B. W. L, Bunday, Aug. 81.— remarkable vol canic phenomenon occurred here be tween 9 and 10 o'clock last night. There was a startling series of detonations from La Soufriere, louder than any since the terrible eruption of May 11. Each explosion shook the buildings of • this town. 7 The noises were terrific and gave the impression in every town and village of this island that the scene "of disturbance was only about two miles away. During the period of In tense anxiety which attended the de tonations two luminous circles, like rainbows, appeared in the cloudless sky to the northwest. They were pre sumably the reflection of the flames in the crater of La Soufriere. Subse quently a dense cloud of steam arose from the crater, but this soon dis r persed. - The weather today Is fair. Grave Fears for Martinique. Telegraphic reports have been re ceived here from the Islands of Grenada, Trinidad and Barbados say ing loud detonations were heard at these places between 9 and 10 o'clock of last night. These explosions were similar to those heard when Mont Pe lee, on Martinique, and La Soufriere were previously in eruption. The peo ple of Grenada were greatly alarmed at the detonations. They were the loudest which have been heard there. This phenomenon was not attended by serious results on St. Vincent, but fears are entertained here for people j on the island of Martinique, as Mont Pelee is known to be still terribly agi tated, two eruptions having occurred there in the last six days. The first eruption was seen Aug. 21 by passen gers on the French steamer Dahome. This vessel narrowly escaped destruc tion while passing near St. Pierre. fc Telegraphic communication with the Islands north of here has been Inter rupted since July 18. The cable re pair steamer Newington is working to repair the cable, but owing to bad weather and the great depth of water, her efforts have not been successful. It" is is Impossible to say definitely When the cable will be restored. CARDINAL GIBBONS IS QUITE ILL Has An Attack of Kidney Trouble and May Have to Submit to An Operation. BALTIMORE, Md., Sept.

Mr. Clement showed great strength in the large cities, his home town, Rut land, giving him a majority 0f^1,214. out of a total vote of 1,859. The re turns show that Gen. McCullough did not begin to hold' the Republican vote, Clement getting' his strength from this defection, to' which was added, it is claimed, about - one-half of the total Democratic. strength in the state. The Prohibitionist vote was, heavy for that party. 7 As a majority vote ls required to elect, the choice of governor and lieutenant governor is thrown into the general assembly, which convenes on the first Wednesday in October. The election will go down in: history as the most interesting ever known in the Green Mountain state, there hav ing been a spiritedT contest from the time the conventions were held ' until the last ballots were deposited- this afternoon.
