Fort de France, Martinique, May 26.â€"A little after five o‘clock this morning the heavens were black as soal and the atmosphere was stifling. There was a great cloud in the sky in ithe direction of Mont Pelee, from which incessant flashes of lightning were discharged. Ashes and stones rained heavily. The people were wild with fear, anticipating the fate of the residents of St. Pierre. They deâ€" serted their homes and with frenzied cries rushedl into the streets, making their way with ail speed to the water front to get boats to take them anywhere into the open sea to escape the impending danger. Many of them carried household e[â€" fects in their arms, while others ran about wringing their bhands and ceryâ€" ivg. There were many vessels in the harbor, but they would not send boats ashore. Mr. Ayme, the Conâ€" sul to Guadaloupe, boarded the cruiâ€" ser Cincinnati. A launch from the warship was at the dock waiting to take Americans aboard ol her. At six o‘clock the ashes and stones are falling. The Potomac took on board a numâ€" ber of people who had returned to their bomes in Carbet and Belfonâ€" taisne, vihages about five miles from 8t. Pierre. They were bungry and frifihtcnm ani they crowded dangerâ€" ously into the small boats that were seot to take them off. Lieut. MeCorâ€" mick supplied them with food. A few returnes to the shore when the erupâ€" tion subsidcd, but about 180 were brought to Fort de France. Lieut. MeCormick ordered that coffee and biscuits be distributed among those who decided to remain. The refugees say that the lightning and thunder and the shower of ashes apd stones were the most terrible they had {faced. They believe that livâ€" Ing in the villages in the vicinity of the mountain will henceforth be imâ€" possible, and that they must be enâ€" tirely deserted. More Killed and Wounded. Several persons were hurt toâ€"day by stones crashing through the roofs of their houses. All the water has been polluted by the lava. Beveral of the villagers are re ported to have been ktlled or drown ed, Among the refugees are several sripples. A mother with a baby three days old saw the Potomac and ran from her village to anotbher with a burle on her head and the baby in her arms to get aboard.

May 26.â€" Advices from Dominica are to the effect that at baltâ€"past five o‘clock this morning a curious fiery «loud, foating in the southwestern sky, was séen from that island. It was surrounded by a fleeecy white #ap, resembling highly polished silver, The phenomenon greatly alarmed the ropuhce, especially. as it was folâ€" owed by vivid flashes of lightning. A â€" despatch from â€" Guadaloupe states that detonations smmilar to those heard on May 7th, the day preceding the destructive eruption of Mont Pelee, were heard there between 5 and 6 o‘clock this mornâ€" ing.

Dense masses of black smoke were towering for several miles above the volcano, while streams of lava were pouring into the sea, causing steam to rise in great volumes, until the atmosphere jiooked as though a heavyy fog was prevailing. The outbreak lasted for some time, but gradually abated in violence. Then the Potomac returned and secured the remains of Mr. Prentis, which were transf’orred to the Cincinnati, which brought them to Fort de France. k Plenty of Provisions. Paris, May 26. â€"M. L‘Huerre, actâ€" ing Governor of Martinique, informs Colonial Minister Decrais that he has sufficient â€" provisions to last two months. He adds that sanitary conâ€" ditions are frightful. The overflowing river levels have rendered the houses uninhabitable by the accumulations of mud. Two thousand bodies have been cremated or covered with ashes to prevent the stench. Meanwhile tho British cruiser Indeâ€" fatigable, which had come from Fort de France, had run out five miles to sea. The Potomac kept blowing her whistle as a danger signal to hurry the landing party to the beach. The situation was momentarily becoming more dangerous, and orders were given to leave the casket on the beach, while the party hurriedly took to their boats and made for the Potomac. It is not known whether the Indeâ€" fatigable returned to St. Pierre to secure the remains of the British Consul. WHERE WAR 1G REAL HELL The American cruiser Cincinnati was in the roadstead. and her comâ€" mander ordered the Potomac to cruise along the shore and look out for refugees, which was done. Story Told Under Oath by a U. $ Corporal, Body of American Consul Was, Howâ€" ever, Brought Away. Fort de France, May 26.â€"The ex pedition which weot to St. Pierre yesterday to recover the remainsg of Mr. Prentis, the American Conâ€" sul, and his family, and the British Congul and his family was, it is beâ€" lieved, only saved from an appallâ€" ing disaster by the fact that _A strong south wind was blow ing, which carried the noxious vapors, smoke and ashes from Mont Pelee to the northward, away from the veesele â€" conveying â€" the expedition. As told in despatches of yesterday, the voleano broke out with renewâ€" ed fury after a party from the American navyy tug Potomac had landed to obtain the bodies of the Prentie family, which were found in the ruins of the Consulate a few days ago. Ensign Miller, of the Amâ€" erican cruiser Cincinnati, and Lieut. McCormick, commanding the Potoâ€" mac, were among those who landâ€" ed. The latter remarked upon the threatening appearance of the volcano, And between 11.30 and 12 o‘clock it began to throw off steam, emoke and ashes, while lightning played im the murky clouds about it. Washington, May 26. â€" S&pecific charges of indecent behavior, revoltâ€" ing cruelties and unneceâ€"sary slayiog by officers of the United States army in the Philippines were made yesterâ€" day betore the S:mate Committeo on the Philippines by exâ€"Corp.

Witness O‘Brien said that he had been present at Igbaras when the water cure was administered to the presidente of that town, and thon made a charge of a serious nature against the American officers thore. Senators Rawlins and Patterson objected to the testimony as mere heresay and urged that it should not go into the record,. ‘The witness was then asked i{ he could not give furâ€" ther proof of the correctness of his charge. D T 6. *‘There was," he said, " a Spanish woman in the townâ€"a woman of eduâ€" cationâ€"who was violated by the American officers." In resposse he related another inâ€" siance of disorderly conduct which, he said, had come under his observaâ€" tion. This occurred at San Joagquin. Among those present. the witness said, were Captain McDonald, Liocuâ€" tenant Plumer, of Company M, and Major Cook. The witness said these officers becam» intoxicated and while in that condition threw off all their clothes except their undershirts and their trousers and, catching the women about the waists, insisted on their waltzing with them, much to tha disgust of the women. O‘Brien then related the particuars of the capture‘of the town of Lo Nag, in the Province of Panay, by a deâ€" tachment from a company of which he wae a member. As the troops apâ€" proached the town they saw at a disâ€" tange a native boy on a caraboo, and one of the men fired a shot at him. but as his bullet failed to! hit its obâ€" jeet others also fired, himseif inâ€" cluded. ; "‘This ehooting," he proceed»d, "brought the people to their Aoors, and among those who came out was an old man, who was shot in the abâ€" domen and afterward died.

LAVA PoOUXEKDVD INTO sEA. $50,000 CONFLAGRATION. Sturgeon Falls despatch: Between 12 and 1‘ o‘clock toâ€"day Sturgeon Falls was visited by a conflagration which threatened to devastate large areas and seriously delay the exâ€" tensive construction operations now being rushed on the pulp milis. The fire was discovered by the workâ€" men on returning from dinner in the large wooden â€" structure built and operated for two years as a pulp mill. Owing to litigation over the property this mill was shut down and has not been operated for some time. The fire spread with lightning rapidity, and grave dan ger arose from the timber ‘n proxâ€" imity to the mill catching fire and carrying burning brands to other buildings, used as storehouses, freight sheds, etc. Hundreds of men were soon busy with the buckets, and the contractors" teams drew water in barrels from the river, and every effort was put forth to save the surâ€" rounding â€" buildings from â€" destrucâ€" tion. The powder house, near the burning mill, contained a _ large amount of dynamite, and Contracâ€" tor Lyall sent a force of men to bury the explosive. The residents were greatly alarmed at the proximity of the dynamite to the fire, as an exâ€" plosion would have wrecked the town. Prompt action, however, preâ€" vented this calamity. Sturgeon Falls Threatened With Disaster. THE OLD PULP MILL BURNED. The gcene when the fire was at its height was a memorable one. The mill was a blazing mass and the fire was making its way into the bush, where gangs of imen were fighting it back. The roofs of the large storeâ€" houses were lined with men, envelâ€" oped in a den:® canopy of emoke, pouring water on the blistering boards of the structures. Contracâ€" tors" tramways were burning, and men were risking their lives to save the porperty. By dint of hard work much of the contractors" plant was saved and construction â€" will proâ€" ceed with very little delay. The dramatic incident of the fire was the exodus of 100 Italians camped on the property. When the fire broke out they picked up their bedding, clothing and cooking utensils, and took the nearest trail for safety, never stopping until two miles from the mill. The Gamages are estimated at $50,000, which include buildings, maâ€" chinery and timber, covered by inâ€" surance. The Sturgeon Falls Pulp Company are heaviest losers. Peter Lyall & Sons, contractors, lose conâ€" giderable. Progress of Relief Work in St. Vincent. London, May 26.â€"The Governor.ol the Winawarsd Iâ€"lands, Sir Robert Llewelyn, cables from 8Bt.

A GREAT FRENGH SWINDLE Sharp Woman Gets .Advances of $12,000,000. rifles will be included in the obâ€" STORY OF MYTHICAL LEGACY. London, May 26.â€"Wh.le the newsâ€" papers of Paris and the whole world have published exbhaustive details of the extraordinary mystification of the Humbert case, by which a clever woman secured loans and advances of about $12,000,000 with practically no scecurity, very little attention has been given to the fact that a large sum was secured in London. 1 am in a position to state that Mme. Humbert secured one loan of $200,000 from _ financial instituâ€" tions and individuals in this city. She also raised $400,000 on a porâ€" tion of her jowels, and a wellâ€"known firm of pawnbrokers advanced $125,â€" 000 on other jewels. U Bhe secured, besides a large sum from a group of underwriters here, who were so convinced that her story was true, that they advanced her money to pay a number of her debts, receiving notes bearing a high rate of interest in weturn. The story of the now _ notorious Crawford milf.ons case is briefly this : About twenty years ago there died at Nice a Mr. Robert Henz Robert Crawford, who left to a lady, Therâ€" egse d‘Auriganac, his entire fortune, said to amount to about $20,000,â€" 000 She had nursed him during a long illness, and he had known intiâ€" mately in America and even conâ€" tracted serious obligations to a certain M. d‘Aurignac, her uncle. She married a M. Frederic Humbert, a former deputy and son of a Minisâ€" ter of Justice in the Freycinet Cabinet of 1882. Whei about to enter into her enâ€" ormous windfall, two Americans, Henry and Robert Crawford, proâ€" duced a will, under which Mr. Crawâ€" ford bequeathed his fortune to them and to Mme. Humbert‘s sister, on condition of their paying to Mme. Humbert an annuity. The case was disputed in the courts, and seemed destined never to end, each side winâ€" ning and losing alternately. A proâ€" found mystery enveloped the perâ€" sonality oT the brothers Crawford, and no trace could be found in New York of their domicile there. Then Mme. Humbert declared that she had 20,000,000 of securities sealed in a safe which she could not touch pending the decision of the courts. _On these securities she borrowed several millions at heavy rates, her advances obtained from banks and individuals in France alone amountâ€" iIng to $10,000,000. One creditor, a banker, committed suicide, and the Prime Minister, M. Waldeckâ€"Rousâ€" seau, who was his liquidator, in pleading described the alfair as a monster swindle, although one of the tribunals ordered the safe to be openâ€" ed, that its contchts might be veriâ€" lied. The result was that hardly anything of value was found in it, and Mme. Humber and her husband were discovered to have vanished also, reports saying that they had left France for America or for Lonâ€" don. t LoubetReceived Popular Ovation brom the Crowds. 1sirslo â€" e 0o, Ru si , M y 26. â€"Ta C"‘*r. 11 qactMé zce t daa Mb wine ag & +A a se d adil m.d the bouwager Uzsarluaa at tended i great review of troops toâ€"day. ‘Mis Majâ€"sty 6: norseback, and M.

Nlagara Kalls Man Recelved a shock of 60,000 Volts and Recovered. New York, May .‘Q.â€"George L. Brown, an electrician, %n the employ of the Niagara Falls Power Comâ€" pany, on Sunday received a shock of 60,000 volts. This is believed by electricians to be the strongest curâ€" rent ever taken by a man without fatal results. Brown took his 60,â€" 000 volts at a low periodicity which makes the performance unpreceâ€" dented. § Brown was leaning over a table to get a tool when his hand came withim half a foot of the new, transâ€" mission line, over which a current at 60,000 volts was racing. The current jumped through the interâ€" mediate space and struck Brown on the hand. He was hurled backward violently and thrown upon the ground. The 60,000 volts, or a very large part, passed through his body. At the end of fifteen minutes he recovered â€" consciousness. His hands were blistered, and the curâ€" rent had emerged through the toes of his shoes, burning in its passage al &mall hole in each shoe. He was taken home and toâ€"day feels ecarcely any result of his experience. SPAIN FEARS THE FRENCH A Pr3â€"English Demonstration is Forbidden. BULLS SLAUGHTERFOD BY NOBLES Madrid, May 26.â€"The Government has forbidden a demonstration of the proâ€"English Spaniards, which was planned in honor of the Duke of Connaught, the special represenâ€" tative of Great Britain at the corâ€" onaticon of King Alfonso, as a proâ€" test sogainst a Francoâ€"Spanish alâ€" liance. These proâ€"English Spaniards intended to have a parade to exâ€" press their sentiments. The Cabinet forbade it, as it was felt that the demonstration would be construed as an insult to the French Governâ€" ment. King Alfonso attended a royal bull light toâ€"day, at which 15,000 spectators, including the special enâ€" voys, members of the diplomatic corps, and great numbers of ladies were present. 7 The vast tmphitheatre where the fight was held was crowded with 15,000 spectatore. More than 200,â€" 000 people had made application for seats to witness to-da{y'l occurâ€" rence. An interesting feature of the bull fight was the revival of the old medieval custom _ under which the scions of noble families fought the bulls with lances from horseback. Three bulls were killed in this manner, while six others were despatched in the regular way with swords. The most reâ€" nowned bull fighters in Spain took part in toâ€"day‘s fight.

Smoke issued from the craters and fissures of the mounâ€" tain, and the atmosphere throughâ€" out the Island of St. Vincent was exâ€" ceedingly hot. While in the bright moonlight, the worshippers were reâ€" turning from church at 8.30 p. m., an alarming. luminous cloud suddenly ascended thirty to forty miles high, in the north of the island, and drifted eluggishly to the northeast.

There was also a flow of lava. On the next day (last Monâ€" day) the volcano was very active, ejecting streams of lava and showâ€" ers of dust. Chateau Belair is deâ€" serted, and Kingstown is crowded with refugees. It Je feared a new crater has opened in the Mamagqua Valley, which is nearer to kingeâ€" town than La Soufricre.
