QUAKE HAS SLAIN 1,000 JAMAICANS

Ninety Thousand Victims Are Homeless and Destitute. LOSSTO KINGSTON $10,000,000 This Is the Latest and Comes by the Way of St. Thomas, Danish West Indies. Official Reports Give a Much Smaller Fatality Record, but They Are Meagre and Give No De* tails of the Catastrophe. St. Thomas, I). W. 1., Jan. 17.—Reports received here from Jamaica say it is estimated that 1,000 persons have been killed by the earthquake and lire and that 90,000 persons are homeless. The damage to Kingston alone Is placed at fully $10,000,000. Paints a Terrible Picture. Advices received here from Jamaica declare that all people have been warm'd to keep away from Kingston. The stench there is described as aw-

fill. There is no fishier for animais and famine is imminent Money Is useless. Tin* banks have been burned, but the vaults are supposed to be safe. The misery on all sides in indescribable. Kieh and poor alike are homeless. Provisions of all kinds are urgently needed. It is impossible to say win re anybody can be found. Many Dead in the Wreckage. The loss of life is very great, but the exact numbets are not yet known, the'dead being buried under smouldering ruins. I'he mercantile community Buffered most severely, warehouses falling upon them. Many professlonal men are dead or injured. The negroes are looting. Ghastly scenes are being witnessed. All the shops have been lestroyed, ami all the buildings in and around Kingston are in ruins. V< ry few of them are safe to live in. The governor and ills party are safe. It is reported that an extinct volcano in the parish of Portland is showing signs of activity, but this Ims not been verified. No news has yet been received from other parts of the island of Jamaica, communication being very dlfh'iilty.

NOT SO SENSATIONAL Official Reports Meagre, and Disasder Made Less Terrible. I.ondon. Jan. 17.—Very few messages. and these meager and lacking in detail, have been received direct from Jamaica to give additional infoi mation of the devastation and death wrought by the earthquake that ravaged Kingston on Monday afternoon. Sucli intelligence ns has come through, however, shoiys the situation to be apparently more serious than was outlined In the first otlicial reports received nt tlie colonial oilice in I.ondon from the governor of the West Indian island, Sir AlexanderSwcttenlmm, and Hiiinnr Greenwood, M. I’. These con firmed the report printed in these dis patches yesterday. Tlie devastation would appear to have been confined to the vicinity of Kingston, ouedispatch giving ten miles as the radius of damage.' Tlie rest of the island. Including Port Antonio, does not seem to have suffered severely. Tlie estimates of dead range from 100 to hut witli the exception of Sir Janies I’ergtisson and half a dozen other white men, there is no mention of fatalities to foreigners. The tourists from the United States who were at Kingston at the time, estimated at about 2,000 persons, it would seem are stife. The estimates of persons injured are as varied as of the dead, and range from a few hundreds to thousands. A large majority of tin 1 50.000 population of Kingston Is black, and it is probable that nearly nil the casualties were mong these people. It is reported that about forty black soldiers were burned to death In a military hospital near the city. Looting and disorder, including raids on rum-shops by tlie blacks, followed tlie catastrophe, lint prompt repressive measures restored order. Panic prevails, however, especially as the earth shocks continued Tuesday and yesterday,and great numbers of the city’s population have fled to the neighboring countryside.

FOOD SUPPLY IS THE NEED

Official and Private Reporta Are Not in Harmony. Food supplies are beginning to be urgently needed, and the demand on medical supplies lias exhausted the stock in hand. The Are that followed the disaster, it was reported, was confined to that section of the city bordering on the water front The flames were supposed to have been checked, but a later dispatch Indicates that they may have again broken out The shipping in the harbor is said to have escaped undamaged, and the members of the party of Sir Alfred Jones are safe on board the steamer Port Kingston. The United States navy department has sent the battleships Missouri and Indiana from Guantanamo, Cuba, to Kingston to render all the aid possible. Any reliable estimate or the property damage is Impossible. It Is reported that the business section is In ruins, and that a large bank building and a big hotel have been destroyed, while other messages say that almost all the houses of the Jamaican capital have been destroyed, and those In a radius of ten miles damaged. Governor Swettenham’s report says the fire was confined to one-sixteenth of the city, among the wharves and warehouses. The very much more serious aspect of the situation given by private and special messages received from Jamaica has not been confirmed by official reports. Some of the messages emanating from Jamaica are without date, and It Is thus impossible to tell whether they refer to the panic of the first hours and give exaggerated reports of casualties, or are sent at a time when greater calm prevailed and actual estimates of the situation had been made. King Edward, through the Earl of Elgin, secretary of state for the colonies, has telegraphed to Governor Swettenham, as follows: “I am commanded by the king to request 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 Ilves, and the deep sympathy of their majesties with the sufferers and relations of those killed.”

Terror Reigns at Kingston. New York, Jan. 17. —The shores of the hnrboi of Kingston are sinking 'and there is terror lest the city slip into the sea, accoidlng to a private dispatch recehcd by a large mercantile house here from Port an Prince, Hayti. Tlu* bed of the harbor is said to be sinking. and the water in many places is now 100 feet deep. Every wharf not destroyed by lire is said to have sunk into the sea or to have been rendered worthless.

SWITCHMAN LEFT THE SWITCH OPEN

Ri-sult Is a Rad Smash-Up and a Dead Engineer and Baggageman—Man Missing. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. IG.—Two trainmen are known to be dead, another trainman is believed to be dead, a fourth is probably fatally injured and several passengers were slightly injured in a wreck at Waldron, Mo., twelve miles from Leavenworth, Kan., caused by a head-on collision between Kock Island passenger train No. 26 and a freight train. The dead: Engineer James Meof the freight train; Baggageman Charles dlart, of Kansas City, Engineer King, of the passenger train, of Kansas City, is missing and believed to be burled under the wreckage. The freight train had orders to wait for the passenger at Waldron, but the switchman there had left the switch open and the passenger, running at full speed, crushed into the freight train. Both engines were demolished ami two of the passenger coaches, the baggage ear and smoker were derailed and ditched. The other coaches were badly jarred.

Mine Disaster in Indiana.

Clinton, Ind.,Jan. 15.—At least seven men are dead and a score burned and maimed as a result of a gas and powder explosion in mine No. 7, near this city, early in the day. Joe Joseph, Ed Wolfe, John Herman Harman Drehemer. aged 45: Anton Hotorik, Joe Pohoda, John Gregor are the known dead, ami it is believed several others must have perished? Six inujred meu have been taken out, and only a small section of tlie wrecked passages lias yet been searched.

Says Railroads Are “Swamped."

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. IG.—President James J. Hill of the Great Northern, in n letter to Governor Johnson, frankly admits that the railroads of the United States have passed the limit of their ability to handle the freight business of the country. He admits that the railroads are “swamped,” and unless radical measures are adopted quickly the present enormous freight blockade will become greater.

A Riddle. A houseful, a yardful, But you can't catch a cupful. (Answer—Smoke.) —Washington Poet

MIDNIGHT ASSASSINS

What the President Calls the Men . Who “Shot Up” Brownsville, Tex. SENDS IN SOME MORE PROOF ) Declares It Absolutely Conclusive of Their Guilt Admits One Error in His Judgment on the Case, and Revokes That Part —Reception in the Senate. Washington, Jan. 15. President Roosevelt, In a special message sent to the senate, revoked part of his now famous ordetudischarging three companies of negro soldiers in the army scandal at Brownsville, Tex. He restores to all the right to obtain “civil employment under the’ government.” He refuses, however, ever to permit the negroes in question to re-enllst in the army or enter the navy. But he says if any disgraced man clears himself of culpability in or knowledge of the Brownsville crimes he will deal with such man’s case on Its merits as the facts warrant. Calls Them “Midnight Assassins.” President Roosevelt declares there Is no power that can review his acl In dismissing the negro soldiers. He calls the disgraced troops ’“midnight assassins,” and says “there Is no doubt of my constitutional and legal power" In discharging them without honor. He admits that the revoked part of his order was invalid. With the message Roosevelt sent bullets and shells aud special reports showing, he asserts, that the fatal firing in Brownsville is Indubtiality fastened on ten to twenty of the negro soldiers, and that the others discharged must have had guilty knowledge of the crime, but shielded their comrades.

Senators Listen Attentively. The message, accompaiied by a box neatly wrapped and tied with red tape containing cartridges and shells as exhibits in tlie case, was read immediately after its receipt by the senate, and was attentively listened to. The exhibit was not opened, however, but remained on the desk of the vice president. At the conclusion of the reading Foraker requested that It lie printed with the accompanying exhibits. Lodge expressed a desire that the message and evidence be printed in the record, commenting that there was no way so successfully to conceal information as to print it as a document, but he recognized that In the present Instance the exhibits were too long.

DOES NOT SATISFY FORAKER Message Fails, He Says, to Meet What He Is After. After the message had been read Foraker, saying he was not going to make a speech “but a few remarks,” observed that the testimony amounted to a great deal—“ For the president tells us it is conclusive. But it does not remove the objection I have had from the beginning of this proceeding. What I have been trying to contend for. and I hope I will ire successful, is to secure hearing for the men charged witli this serious crime. This testimony has been taken as the other was, behind closed doors, without anyliody representing tlie men. That is the reason I shall not desist, notwithstanding what tlie president has said as to the character of it, from pressing for an investigation of the subject where especially the men who are charged with the crimes of murder, perjury and conspiracy can be heard.” Tlie speeehmaking on the subject then began and continued until 5:30 o’clock. Mallory, indorsing tlie action of the president, held that the president might have gone too far in preenting tlie re-enlistment of tlie soldiers involved, but otherwise he approved the president’s order of discharge. Clay followed, and the debate was given a lively turn by Tillman’s interruptions. Clay said the people of Georgia heartily indorsed tlie president’s action. Bacon followed witli what he said was a precedent for the Brownsville order in the discharge of a company of South Carolina National Guardsmen by Tillman when he was governor. This Involved Tillman again in the debate. Spooner was In the midst of a constitutional discussion of the authority of the president in the case when adjournment was taken. Spooner holds that when the president exercises his powers ns commander-in-chlef of the army the senate has no Jurisdiction to review his actions. He also contended that congress lias no power to legislate specifically to restore the soldiers discharged In the present case, declarIjig that review enn only lie had by Impeachment proceedings, which must originate in the house of representatives. ,

Boundary Dispute Settled.

New Orleans, Ln., Jan. 15.—The Picayune says: The dispute which has existed several years between Nicaragua and Honduras ns to the boundary line on the north lias been settled. Tills question was left to the king of Spain as referee and on Dec. 25 he rendered his decision, giving to Honduras all that was claimed by President Manuel Ronlla and more in addition. The Interests of an Amerrnn company headed by Mr. Dietrich, »f Pittsburg, the statement continues, ire seriously affected.

THAT TEXAS BAILEY TANGLE

There Is Much Talk, So Far the Developments Are Irot Very . Decisive. Austin, Tex., Jan. 18.—An address by United States Senator Bailey, the postponement of a concurrent resolution providing for his re-election on Jan. 22, were two features of the legislative entertainment going on here. A resolution was adopted Inviting Senator Bailey to address the house, and he appeared and in a passionate speech denied In toto the authenticity or the reliability of the documents in the possession of Attorney General Davidson connecting him in any manner with the Waters-Pierce Oil company. In response to an invitation from the special advisory committee of the senate, to the effect thatif any one wanted to prefercharges and summon witneses In the Bailey Investigation, it was willing to accept notice aud summon the same, Representative Cock gave notice that he preferred the charges against Senator Bailey as outlined in tne house resolution demanding an investigation, and desired that Senator Bailey be summoned as the principal witness.

Lugansk, Russia, Jan. 18.—A large number of prisoners, having secured arms, made an attempt to break Jail.
