AMUSEMENTS. Two more opportunities remain to witness the performance of the many clever people with Ward and Vokes in “The Governors’’ at English’s. There is probably no comedian in the country who can approach little Johnny Page in his grotesque acrobatic comedy business, while Louise Montrose, Margaret Daly Vokes, John Keefe and the others in this company are happily endowed with personalities that make them entertaining every moment they are on the stage. "On the Wabash” played to standing room at the Park last night and is making a big week's record at that house. Half a dozen theater parties were there to witness this cleverly renamed play by Mr. Arthur. The engagement will ciose with performances this afternoon and evening. "The Victorian Cross’’ will follow Monday for three days. Several bits of new “business” have been Incorporated in the closing burletta of the Broadway Burlesquers, which closes at the Empire to-night. Ed F. Rush’s Bonton Burlesquers will open Monday afternoon, with Fern Melrose as the principal feature. Broadhurst's "What Happened to Jones” will be seen at English’s the last two days of next week with practically the same company that played it here last year, including George Boniface, jr., Anna Belmont, Kathryn Osterman and others. CITY NEWS NOTES. James M. Smith, a house painter, while at work at No. 608 Sutherland street, yesterday, fell from a ladder to the sidewalk below and suffered a fracture of the left thigh bone. The Dispensnry ambulance removed him to the City Hospital. At the services for Battery A at the Central Christian Church to-morrow morning the following patriotic songs will be rendered by the choir: "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” "Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “Just Before the Battle Mother.” The Roberts Park M.

A CAMPAIGN OF SNEERS e LOCAL DEMOCR ACY INAUGURATED IT AT TOMLINSON HALL LAST NIGHT. e Kern’s anil Burke’s Flings at the War Department—Bailey, of Teiux, a Speaker. e Democrats of this county opened their campaign with a meeting at Tomlinson Hall last night, where addresses were made by Joseph W. Bailey, a Texan congressman, and John W. Kern and Frank B. Burke, of Indianapolis. While the prophesy of the Sentinel in yesterday’s issue was not realized, when it said “The Democratic campaign in Marion county will be opened this evening at Tomlinson Hall with a monster meeting,” the crowd was a little larger than that which attended the opening of the Republican campaign a week ago, when the public mind was divided with the excitement of the state fair, returning soldiers and other things to divert attention from politics. Last night there might have been two thousand people in the hall the first hour. The lower floor was pretty well filled up and there was a sprinkling of people in the balcony, with none in the gallery. When Mr. Bailey, of Texas, finished, a thousand people remained in their seats. Negative criticism of the administration’s management of the war by the first two speakers was the order. The last, Mr. Bailey, put in most of his time discussing the silver question, although he repudiated his own war record. John W. Kern, while disclaiming any intention of making charges of cruelty and neglect of the soldiers, in an indirect way rehashed every charge that has been made in a sarcastic tone of voice, that seemed to satisfy the passions of his hearers, judging by the demonstrations that greeted his remarks. Through an hour of monetary discussion by both Mr. Burke and Mr. Bailey, there was but little enthusiasm- The crowd seemed to be in a tolerant rather than an enthusiastic mood when the issues of 1896 were revamped. Anything on the war that was hitter and denunciatory of the administration seemed to suit their taste. There were few incidents of moment. About 8 o’clock there was considerable applause when the three speakers, led by Mayor Taggart, J. B. Bell, county chairman, S. E. Morss, Leon O. Bailey and State Chairman Parks M. Martin, filed upon the stage and took seats under a large picture of Hendricks hanging above the speaker’s stand. Bryan’s picture was half concealed in the folds of the flags draped from the stage, as was that of Matthews. Large pictures of Thomas Taggart and John W. Kern—the latter in a frame of gold—were suspended on the balconies, while Gray occupied the rear balcony. The same flags and banners that were used at the Battery A reception last week were still in place. The audience seemed in a chilly frame of mind, but the appearance of the party was the signal for applause and cheering, which subsided as County Chairman Bell rapped for order and presented John W. Kern as the permanent chairman of the meeting.

WHAT MR. KERN SAID. Mr. Kern plunged in without many preliminaries. * “One week ago,” he began, “the ‘keynote’ was sounded by the Republicans from this platform. The Democratic party has passed beyond the day of ‘keynotes.’ The ‘keynote’ was sounded at Chicago two years ago. It was keynote enough for that campaign to rally 600,000 unpurchasable American, voters. It will be the keynote this campaign, and, at the next, will lead American Democrats on to victory. The Democratic party felicitates itself and the country on the apparent conclusion of the war. It rejoices in the triumph of the American army, and holds out the chaplet wreath of glory for every American boy that imperiled his life that American honor might be vindicated. When the news was flashed out that that magnificent American ordered the first shot fired at Manila,—l refer to Admiral George Dewey—the Democracy, without the loss of a single moment, shouted that it was the Democratic idea that it was an American victory, and no one stopped to discover to what party the victors belonged. When the news of Schley's wonderful achievement came it was reported that the chairman of the Republican committee had. in the midst of the rejoicing 1 of the people, when the Nation had lifted itself out of a partisan spirit, that chairman is reported to have said: ‘That victory is going to help the Republican party.’ Republican leaders were wondering how many assessors and constaoles they were going to get out of Schley s victory. After our hoys stormed San Juan and planted the stars and stripes over the Spanish guns. Republican leaders of Indiana were speculating on how many squires and county recorders they were goto get out of the bided of American soldiers. God pity such patriotism! It is not Democratic patriotism. When the state convention met the Democrats of Indiana had no criticism of the conduct of the wac by the administration, because the party scorned to put a straw in the way. There has been no undue criticism of the adminlstration at any time. I am not here to criticise, now that the war is over,” said the speaker. Then he proceeded to rehash all the charges that have been made, including the exploded nightmares of an Indiana chaplain, whose interview—now much talked of—did not conform with letters written over his own signature. REHASHING SENTINEL'S CHARGES. “I don't know,” said Mr. Kern, “whether charges of incompetency of quartermaster generals, paymasters, the medical ment and commissary departments are true or not. I was not there, but the private soldiers were there and they know whether they are true. What I object to is the effort of certain Republican candidates to stifle the voice of free speech. I protest against the imprisonment of Private Kerr at the fair grounds because he exercised the right of petition, a right which is not denied to the convict in the penitentiary. I don’t know whether the hardtack was full of worms, but if it was the contractor who was paid to supply good bread should be punished. I don't know whether the canned goods was so bad as to cause the stomach to revolt. The private soldier knows. Let him testify, and let no thieving contractor raise the cry of patriotism and hide behind the star-spangled banner. I don’t know that horse doctors were appointed ” Mr. Kern was interrupted by prolonged cheers. “I don't know whether horse doctors were appointed to take charge of the health of fever-burned boys in blue at Chiekamauga, but if horse doctors were appointed it is no crime to ascertain how many horse doctors were appointed and who appointed them and why they were appointed. ‘We will investigate,’ they say. It seems to me that a judicious use of the telegraph wires twenty-four hours could settle that question. It is not difficult to learn whether on the transport Roumanian 25 cents was charged for a lump of ice, and lemons were held up to fever-burned boys and offered for 25 cents each. I should think that it would not be difficult to learn if these things are true and then, if they are true, the I™! 1 men should be taken out and shot. The Democratic party makes no charges.” Mr. Kern went on to say that he had one grievous fault to find. Two years ago the Republicans said that the government ought to scorn to pay any dollar except the best dollar, a gold dollar, in settlement of its debts. "Now I understand that this party when It came to pay stricken and wounded soldiers, paid in dishonest monanr. in 50-cent dollars, in dollars they repudiated Were soldiers given the option as to the kind of money they would accept? No. But the bondholders are. The soldiers accepted without a murmur and went away happy. We shall Insist that the bondholders who sold bad canned beef and wormy hardtack shall he content with the same kind of money paid those who fought the battles of the Republic.” MR. BURKE TALKS SILVER. Frank Burke was then Introduced by Mr. Kern. "Political campaigns,” said Mr. Burke, “are for the discussion of political principles. There were no political principles that separated the American people in the last war. They stood shoulder to shoulder and when they advanced toward rifles in the hands of Spanish soldiers the question was not asked whether they stood for free silver or sound money, for protection or free

trade. So far as the management of the war and the declarations of the Democratic party concerning it at this time are concerned it is like the congregation of worshipers down in the State from which my friend Bailey comes, who placed a placard in the church, reading: ’Plpase don’t shoot the organist. He is doing the best he can.’ We assume the Democratic party assumes that the administration has done the best that it could.” There was a ring of contemptuous irony in his voice that appealed to the audience, which seemed to relish any insinuations against the honesty of the administration in its war policy. Mr. Burke, with this insinuation, dismissed the war question and took up a discussion of the Republican declaration on the monetary question, which he characterized as being a larceny of Populistic ideas and beliefs. He said that it was not important to voters whether the name of their representative in Congress be Overstreet or Bailey or Kern or Burke, but it was important for them to know what they represent. Overstreet, he said, stood for the monetary measure *n Congress introduced by the representative at the request of the monetary conference, the nondescript body that came “no one knew 7 from where.” The Republican party, he said, must stand sponsor for that bill. He devoted considerable time to discussing the provisions of the measure. "The opener of the Republican campaign,” said he. "reminded me of the nursery rhyme: ‘Little Jackie Horner, sitting in a corner, eating a Christmas pie. put in his thumb and pulled out—what a great man is McKinley!’ We don’t know whether he is a great man or a small man. ‘He is doing the best he can.’ But we do want to know what policy shall be adopted toward the Philippines. Porto Rico, Cuba and the other islands.” The platform of the Democrats, he stated, declared that the people of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and independent. “That don’t mean an American protectorate,” said he. He read from the Declaration of Independence, and recited the history of the revolution to prove w T hat “free and independent” meant, and contended that nothing that took away from the people of the islands the right to govern themselves was to be considered. He protested against taking these islands and making them “subservient to the political pirates who. under the guise of protection to American labor, have almost pauperized the people. Why not, at the next election, say to these pirates and buccaneers, ‘Stand aside and • let the flag of Cuba take its place among the flags of nations?’ That is what the Democratic party means when it says that the people are and of right ought to be free and independent.” He ridiculed the Republican idea of reform in primary election laws, declaring that the election commissioners, James A. Mount and “one Claypool.” had arrogated judicial authority to themselves w T hen they refused to allow the names of the Democratic candidates for Appellate judgeships to go on the ballots, failing to tell his audience that there is no vacancy. He asked if they favored a supplemental section to the Australian ballot law that, when “Bill Flynn and Commodore Higgins have had their differences down in the Fifteenth ward, and one has been seated in the convention,” that would permit James A. Mount and “James” H. Claypool—he meant Jefferson H. Claypool—to say that their nominations were invalid? He sneered at Senator Fairbanks's reference in his speech to the glories of the Republican party and his reference to the Democratic party as one of negation. The Democratic party, Mr. Burke declared, had been one that had stood for right and principle. He cast an insult at the negro voters. “It has never,” he declared in passionate grandiloquence, “felt it necessary to confer the elective franchise upon four million freedmen that it might perpetuate itself in penver.” BAILEY CONTRADICTS HIS RECORD. Representative Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, was the last speaker of the night. He finally got a chance to be heard. Kern, Taggart and the others had grown awfully restless before he wound up, pulling out w-atches and otherwise trying to inform him it was “time.” Taggart retired up the stage to gossip with Joseph T. Fanning. Mr. Bailey had a personality that was a reminder of W. J. Bryan, although different in many respects. He has a magnetic way about him that draws an audience,, but there was not the chance to play to the galleries last night that is so often afforded and always seized when he is in Congress. He spoke of the fact that as Northern men and Southern become aejuainted many prejudices are wiped out. “All that American people need to love each other,” he said, “is simply that they shall know each other.” This sentiment was applauded becomingly. He, like Mr. Kern, disclaimed any intentions of criticism. When the bottom of investigation is reached, he said, and it is shown who was responsible for suffering, “whoever else was responsible, no part of that responsibility can attach to the Democratic party. We gave every dollar asked.. Your representative said in the Washington paper last Sunday that everything was done by the Republicans and all the opposition came from the Democrats. We did not vote against any appropriations. We passed a bill appropriating $50,000,000 with unusual unanimity. We voted to suspend the operations of the law requiring bids to be received and contracts let to the cheapest bidders. We authorized the President to take the money and buy with it in open markets—not the cheapest, but the best, for the best was none too good for soldiers wearing the uniforms of the United States. If they did not buy the best, the crime is theirs and the honor is ours.” ' Mr. Bailey’s own record in Congress was not as he pictured it. The Congressional Record of April 4, 1898. Page 3897. shows that on that occasion he said: "I simply desire to call the attention of the House to the fact that on several occasions within the last thirty days this House has been called upon to vote appropriations and permission to meet extraordinary cases, and yet this House is not in the possession of any fact which warrants it in supposing that the executive department believes that any extraordinary emergency is upon the country. Only a short time ago we were compelled to vote to place $50,000,000 under the absolute direction of the President of the United States. I do not hesitate to declare that if a Democratic President had asked a Democratic House for the absolute control of $50,000,000 I w T ould have denied it. I would have said to him: ‘Send in your estimated and let Congress judge whetlier the money of the people ought to be expended or not.’ ” Laying aside the war question Mr. Bailey said that after the war is over and its issues past, the question that was before the people in the last campaign would again he presented for their consideration. “It will he the paramount question,” said he. “There is no question that the next convention will readopt tthe platform and replace its standard in the hands of the matchless leader of that campaign, and those who fought us then will try to redeem their fault.” All of which was duly applauded. Mr. Bailey extended an invitation to the gold-standard Democrats of two years ago to return. “We invite them hack,” said he. “We will not kill the fatted calf nor give them the best robe, but we will let them come hack without asking them where they have been these two years past. I am willing to let them come back home and bang up their hats in the Democratic household.” (Cheers.) Mr. Bailey spent an hour in a discussion of the silver issue, advancing hut few if any new ideas, although some of his illustrations seemed to catch the crow T d. A good many were heard to remark, after his speech was ended, that “he’s better than Bryan.”

Independent Sliver Democrats. The Independent Silver Democracy met on the South Side last night, and the meeting was well attended. This organization is composed of active Silver Democratic workers, who. in self-defense, feel they cannot support the present “gold-bug” county ticket as dictated by T. Taggart and approved by Sterling Holt, J. L. Keaoh, John R. VV llson and others. This movement is the result of dissatisfaction among the Democratic voters of the South Side, who have felt “the sting of gold-bug prosperity,” as they call it. A committee of five was appointed to investigate the record of the county candidates during the campaign of For a AVoodrnflT Place nnrglnry. Detectives Thornton and Weible yesterday arrested Charles Alexander on the burglary charge. Alexander lives at 1712 South Linden street. It is claimed he burglarized the house of E. M. Campbell, in Woodruff Place. A number of articles were taken from the Campbell residence, and the detectives found part of the goods at Alexander’s house. U. E. Henry, of Seymour. Released. IT. E. Henry, of Seymour, who was convicted some time ago, in the Federal Court, of raising one-dollar bills to tens, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of SIOO. was yesterday ordered released under the poor-convict law, he having completed his term and being unable to pay the fine imposed. Blnmt’a Condition Improves. W. A. Blume, the murderer of Grace Harvey, is gradually growing stronger under the care of the City Hospital physicians, end the doctors were last night of the opinion that he is in a fair way to recover from Ids self-inflicted wounds.

THREE STATES FOR LAW INDIANA, OHIO AND KENTUCKY WILL TOLERATE NO PRIZE FIGHTS. Governor Mount, as a Precaution, Asks Permission to Use Federal Volunteer Troops. a The promoters of the “Kid” McCoy Corbett prize fight have, according to several reports, finally selected the soil of Indiana as desirable ground on which to pull off the social event which is interesting all flstiana. Yesterday C. E. Wilson, acting for Governor Mount, received a telegram sent by a paper in Cincinnati stating that an effort would be made to effect a meeting between McCoy and Corbett at a point about thirty minutes’ ride from Cincinnati. It was not known whether this meant Indiana. Kentucky cr Ohio territory, but the inference was that it would be this State. The telegram further asked what steps the Governor would take in event it was decided to make the attempt in this State. Secretary Wilson said in reply that under no circumstances would the fight be permitted to occur in this State. It is supposed that the promoters of the fight thought to arrange the matter with some local official in one of the smaller counties in the southern part of the State in the belief that the state officers would be powerless to interfere on account of there *>eing no militia at present on which the State could call. This contingency Secretary Wilson also promptly provided for by sending a telegram to the War Department at Washington asking permission in case of emergency for the State to call out the three infantry companies in this city and the one in Frankfort belonging to the One-hundred-and-flfty-eighth Regiment, in addition to the Twenty-seventh Battery, if necessary, in order to break up the unlawful assemblage in this State. The Governor has decided that, even if the State has to reorganize the National Guard on the spot, the means shall be at hand for preventing the fight taking place in this State. The telegram sent from the Governor’s office was as follows: “There will be no prize fight in Indiana if I can prevent it. If local authority is not sufficient the resources of the State will be drawn upon for ample force to suppress lawlessness and drive out the intruders if anything of the kind is undertaken. The persons so engaged will be treated as criminals from the time they cross the border line. Prize fighting is a disgrace to our boasted civilization, and ought not to be tolerated anywhere. It certainly will not be tolerated in Indiana while I am Governor. “JAMES A. MOUNT.” Governor Bradley, of Kentucky, on hearing the rumor that attempts are being made to have the Corbett-McCoy fight in Kentucky, near Cincinnati, issued a proclamation yesterday warning all persons not to attend the same, and directing the peace officers of the State to take steps to suppress the fight if attempted in Kentucky. Governor Bushnell, of Ohio, said when questioned: “The fight will not take place within the Ohio radii indicated or any other place in Ohio.”

FIVE DIVORCE COMPLAINTS. Mrs. Henning: Tells What Drink Did for Her Home. Among five divorce suits filed yesterday was that of Theresa A. Hennir.g against Albert R. Henning, in which unusual cruelty is alleged. The two were married in March, 1891. Two children were born to them—Selma, who is now six years old, and Pauline, who is tw r o years old. Mrs. Henning charges that her husband has been an habitual drunkard, and that he has been twice in the workhouse. When he was drunk, she in her complaint, he was abusive and dangerous. She returned to her mother several times, she says, and each time her husband would win her back to him by promises of reformation. “He was a good workman, and only bad when drunk,’’ the complaint relates. The last time she returned to him was Sept. 19. That night, she claims, he came home drunk. She was in bed with one of her children. Her husband entered the bedroom, it is alleged, and . threw a lighted lamp on the bed. The lamp broke to pieces, and Mrs. Henning saved herself and the child by running from the room. Her husband told her that he wished they both might have been burned to death, Mrs. Henning says. She asks for a divorce and SI,OOO alimony. John W. Justus, a traveling salesman, asks that he be divorced from his wife because she left his home and went to Chicago, refusing all his requests to return, and he is “unable to get her back.” Laura B. Gibson and Thomas F. Gibson w r ere married and lived together from May to August, 1896. Mrs. Gibson claims her husband deserted her then, and she asks that the bonds of matrimony be severed. Laura C. Kaylor, in a plea for divorce from Albert J. Kaylor, alleges desertion and inhuman treatment. After living with her husband. Thomas H. Butler, thirty-two years, Kate Butler has filed a suit for divorce from him. She claims he has failed to make reasonable provision for his family during the last two years. K. of P. “Refreshments’* Sait. S. D. Pierson, cigar dealer, has secured a judgment for $59 in Justice Walpole’s court against A. O. Royse, Sam V. Perrott and a young man named Newman. It is claimed they bought cigars on credit from Pierson to stock their stands at the Knights of Pythias camp ground. The cost of the cigars was $132, but the men returned s7l worth of the goods. Perrott insisted he had not been in partnership with the other two men. hut he testified on the witness stand that he had advertised dissolution of partnership in a newspaper, so nis plea was lost. Pierson alleged in his complaint that the three defendants were selling liquor at their stands. It is said that John Rauch sold the defendants SSOO worth of cigars, also on credit, and that he will bring ‘•ult against them for the value of the numoer of cigars which were not afterward :e----turned to him. Newman and Perrott were present at the trial, but Royse was not. It is said that he has left the city. After Order of Eqnlty Assets. Frank Iten and wife, John Jenkins and wife, Thomas H. Gage and Walter Campbell yesterday afternoon filed claims against the Order of Equity, insolvent, which will, if allowed, consume all of the assets of the company, amounting to $2,000. They claim that the warrants for their money had been drawn, but had not' been collected when the order went under. For this reason they assert that they should have preference over the other creditors Kissel Will Have to Pay. After dragging through the Justice courts of this city and Irvington, the case of the entertainment committee of the recent Knights of Pythias encampment against Fred Kissel, the proprietor of a roadhouse north of the city, was finally decided in the court of Justice Resin B. Hammond, of Cumberland, yesterday, by the committee being awarded judgment for SIOO. Kissel refused to pay the claim. Six Months for Slekinger. Judge McCray yesterday sentenced Hubert Sickinger to six months in Jail on a charge cf assaulting Bertha Shoffhauser. He was also charged with kidnaping, but be was not tried for this offense. It is claimed that Siek'nger assaulted the girl while they were on their way to Indianapolis in a w r agon. They went to St. Louis afterward. Fish I.aw Violator Fined. Fish Commissioner Newffiouse received a telegram yesterday saying that Albert Caldwell had been fined at Martinsville. Caldwell was arrested by the fish commissioner on a charge of dynamiting White river for fish. Louis Jones’s Sentence.

The woman was arrested by Patrolmen Hoffbauer and Warren at her own request. Yesterday afternoon she telephoned for the police and when they arrived she asked them to take her to the police station. She said she realized her mind was not right, and she feared she would do some violent act unless restrained. The woman is anxious to be sent away where she can have the proper treatment for her mental trouble. Her husband says her mind is clouded only at intervals. At times she is perfectly rational.

DEVASTATED BY STORM FURTHER DETAILS OF HURRICANE HAVOC IN THE WEST INDIES. Great Destruction of Property and Lonn of Life ou the Inland* of St. Vincent, Lucia and Barbadoes. ■ 1 KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 23.—Ma1l advices which reached here to-day brought melancholy relief to the suspense experienced regarding the full extent of the hurricane disaster at the islands of St. Vincent, St. Lucia and the Barbadoes, showing that the first accounts were not exaggerated. At St. Vincent about three hundred lives have been lost, not counting the loss of life suffered through the destruction of shipping. The coast is strewn with the wrecks of vessels, many of which were from Barbadoes. The storm raged from 10 o’clock in the mornii g (Sunday, Sept. 11,) until 2 o’clock in the afternoon, completely wrecking the island. At the capital (Kingston) fully two hundred houses were demolished, while the suburbs (Coxheath and Montebello) were obliterated. Among the principal buildings destroyed are the Anglican and Catholic churches, the fine new hospital and Fort Charlotte. All the other public buildings were more or less injured. Cloudbursts from the mountains swept much of the ruins into the sea, as well as several dead and injured persons. Throughout the island the destruction was on a wholesale scale, nearly all the estates and buildings being razed and cultivation being obliterated. The following towns or villages were destroyed: Roseplace, Grande Sable, Arnosval, Mount Pleasant, Argyle, Wallibabo, BarroUullio, Layon and Buccament, and the second city (Georgetown) was considerably damaged. No approximate estimate of the pecuniary damage done has been reached, but the island is practically ruined. St. Lucia suffered mostly from rain and landslides, the deluge lasting ten hours. Cul de Sac and Rousseau valleys, the centers of cane and cocoa cultivation, were converted into lakes and partly filled with debris from the mountains, which ruined the crops, while many plantations elsewhere were wrecked. Serious damage was sustained, especially at Mornetabao, which precipitated an avalanche three miles long, covering the valley to the width of a mile, and overwhelming Ruby and a couple of other estates. Similar avalanches partly destroyed the Diamond, Pearl and San Jocques plantations. The city of Castries suffered somewhat, chiefly from a tidal wave which swept over half the town and wrecked a portion of Bay street. Thirteen lives were lost. The full extent of the damage has not been computed, but it is incomparably less than at St. Vincent. The hurricane struck the Island of Barbadoes on the night of the 10th. completely wrecking its flat, exposed surface and sweeping away ten thousand houses, whl’e damaging thousands more. This left thre- 1 - quarters of the inhabitants homeless. Over one hundred people were killed, so far as known. The city of Bridgetown was partially destroyed and the suburbs, at St. Michael and Belleville, were demolished. All the shipping was wrecked or blown out to sea. In the country the desolation is awful, owing to the destruction of the food crops on which the population depended. While all the parishes suffered the greatest distress is in St. Michael, Christ Church and St. Philip. All sugar estates are damaged and many of them are completely wrecked. But, while the cultivation of cane has suffered considerably, the cane has not been totally ruined, as at first reported, the damage not exceeding one-fifth of the cane. The total estimated damage, besides the loss from the cane crop and provisions, is about $1,500,000 at Barbadoes. Among the incidents at Barbadoes was the narrow escape of Governor Hay and his son from a building, which collapsed, burying them in the ruins. They escaped with insignificant bruises. The house was the Governor’s temporary residence while the government palace was being repaired.
