Another Trenit'mloiis Explosion From tlio Wicked Mountain Adds to a Teople's I'anic.

.Thrilling Situation of ISxplorer Kennan and i'lot. Mill of (ieufcTapliical Society.

Fort DeFrance, Island of Martinique. May 29.—A tremendous explosion ol very black smoke from Mont Pelee at 8:45 o'clock yesterday morning accentuated the tear entertained for the safety of George Kennan, the American author, who with a land party has been examining the northern part ot the island. The governor of Martinique, M. J/Hnerre, was at once seen "with the object of arranging a rescue party to proceed by land in connection with the voyage along the coast of the United States cruised Cincinnati, should such steps appear necessary. At about II o'clock, however, Fordi nan Clero, a wealthy landed proprietor of Martinique, arrived he/e and announced that .Mr. Kennan and hisparty were safe on a plantation at the north of the island.

Prof. Robert T. I Till, United States government geologist and head of the expedition sent to Martinique by the National Geographical Society, wlir left Fort DeFrance Monday on horse back for the volcano, returned here yesterday. He was completely worn out by the trip. Prof. Hill heard the explosion while on his way into Fort DeFrance. and he says a cloud of vblack smoke at a great aeight waf drifting slowly to the southeast.

Speaking personally of his expedition to Mont Pelee, Prof. Hill said: "My attempt, to examine the crater ol 31ont Pelee has been futile. I succeeded. however, in getting very close to Morne Rouge. At 7 o'clock Monday night 1 witnessed from a point near the rnins of St. Pierre a frightful .^.explosion from Mont Pelee and noted '•the accompanying phenomena. While '.these eruptions continue no sane man should attempt to ascend to the crater of the volcano. Following the detonations from the mountain gigantic mushroom-shaped columns of smoke and cinders ascended into the clear, 'starlit sky and then spread in a vast black sheet, to the south and directly over my head. Through this sheet, which extended ^distance of 10 miles from the crater, vivid and awful light-•/.•'ning-like bolts flashed with alarming frequency. They followed distinct paths of ignition but were different from lightning in tfiat the bolts were horizontal and not perpendicular.

This is indisputable evidence of the explosive oxidation of the gases after they left the crater. This is a most important observation and explains, in part, the awful catastrophe. This phenomena is entirely new in volcanic history. "I took many photographs, but do not hesitate to acknowledge that 1 was terrified. But I was not the only person so frightened. Two newspaper correspondents who were close to Morne Rouge some hours before me became scared, ran three miles down the mountain and hastened into Fort DeFrance. "The people on the north end of the island are terrified and are fleeing with their cattle and effects. I spent

Tuesday night in a house at Deux Choux with a crowd of 200 frightened refugees. "Nearly all the phenomena of these •volcanic outbreaks are new to science, and many of them have not yet been explained. The volcano is still intensely active, and 1 cannot make any predictions as to what it will do."

Ihi-t Carried Fifty Miles. St. Johns, Island of Antigue, B. W. I., May L'!.—The British steamer Fontabelle, from New York for various West Indian ports, has arrived here and reports having passed St. Pierre, Martinique, during the afternoon of May 27, when vast columns of smoke and flashes from Mont Pelee were visible 40 miles away. Dust fell on the steamer when 50 miles from the island. The Fontabelle had previously landed relief supplies at. Fort DeFrance.

Thiol Black

Rosseau. Island of Do.-ninica. May 2ft.— Tiio British steamer Savan from London for Barbadoes and West Indian ports, la^ ariivel here. She passed Mo::t Pe.ee, Island of Martinique, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, when a thick, black smoke was arising from the volcano and the officers ot the Savan believed from the great quanfity of dust which fell on the steamer that another eruption had occurred.

Clini'Sfil Willi Mnrtlcr. Tiffin. O., May 29.—Luther Hershey a dairyman who it is alleged was as vaulted by Colonel Albert M. Brewer a prominent citizen of this city, Tuesday night, died at his home here yes terday. Brewer has been arrested, charged with murder. It is said thp.t the fight occurred in a saloon and thai Urewer struck Hershey on the head with a bottle. Colonel Brewer was on ex-Governor Bunnell's staff and is well known throughout the state.

BANNA'S ltALiLY CRY

A Vo r: IN SKi HT

Senate Will Settle l'iiilippinc Bill On Tuesday. Washington, May 2!.—An agreement was reached in the senate, yesterday by which a final vote on the pending Philippine government bill and all amendments will be taken next Tuesday at 4 p. m. Pending the vote the senate will meet at 11 o'clock each day except Friday, when the senate will not sit, it being Memorial Day. On Monday and Tuesday the debate will be under the 15-minute rule.

The house spent the day debating the bill to increase the subsidiary coinage by coining the silver bullion in the treasury and to recoin standard silver dollars as the public necessities may require. The limit of subsidiary coinage is now $100.i0(i.0()0. The bill inciv,ases this to an indefinite amount in the discretion of the secretary of the treasury. .The bill aroused the op position of the Democrats, who claim ed it was only a step in the directior of the complete striking down of tlu silver dollar. The debate drifted into a general discussion of the silver question. Very little interest was shown and Mr. Cochran twice made the point that no quorum was present.

Detroit .Murder Trial.

Detroit, Mich.. May 29.—A jury was secured yesterday to try William M. Jones on the charge of murdering Geo. M. Hey wood, in whose home he roomed. The taking of evidence began this morning. Mrs. Hey wood, who has admitted her intimacy with Jones, is expected to furnish some of the strongest links in the circumstantial evidence the police have against Jones.

South African Unnairement. London. May 29.—A dispatch from Pretoria reports that 200 Boers have surrendered at Frankfort in the Or ange River Colony. A statement was issued by a news agency yesterday that Lord Kitchener will become adjutant general to the forces instead of taking command of the Indian army as previously reported.

Will Not Talk I'oliLies.

Washington, May 29.—The president will not make any distinctly political speeches during the coming campaign. He will respond to invitations to address the people at various places as President McKinley did, and while these will have a bearing on the campaign, they will not be entirely political in character.

Held to Answer.

St. Louis, May 29.—Councilman Louis Rchnell and Charles L. Gerahty, a member of the St. Louis house of delegates, were arrested last night on bench warrants from the grand jury charging them with malfeasance in office. Both men were released on $2,000 bonds each.
