Then employed Jose Miguel Oomei aa manager of bio sugar es-late. The Government openly perse-" cuted Oomes, sending troops and artillery to coerce' people near the estate to refuse to deal with Gomes or SUvelra. The result was the dismissal of Gomel, who went to New York.

Then SUvelra began other negotiations, arid when the Insurgent leaders took the field he sup- plied them with funds. The Government learned of Sllvelra's complicity and had prepared, to arrest him when he purchased freedom by the ostensible gift of COO horses and the betrayal of QuenUn Banderos.

10 the atmosphere here waa thickly charged with fine vol canic ashes, equaling In density any ob served during the worst eruptions ot Mont Pelee, in which, apparently, la strongly i It is feared that a new disaster Tnaa overtaken Martinique. The French Cable Company did not receive a single message from that island and the United Statea and HaUl Telegraph and Cable Company was also without news. The eruption ot Mount Pelee In May, 1902, waa the moat terrible disaster so far aa loss of life waa concerned. In 're cent years; Pelee had long been Known as an occasionally active volcano. On April 25.

1902, an eruption began, andthough the people of the City of St. Pierre, at the toot of tbe volcano, became greatly alarmed, only a few of them fled. Indeed, the French authorlUea did every thing they could to prevent an exodus from the city, and In some cases the troops forcibly prevented the Inhabitants from getting away. At o'clock In the morning of May 8 the City of fit. Pierre was at 80,000 persona losing their Uvea The details ef tho disaster will never be known, for no one In the city proper escaped except a negro criminal who waa confined tn a cell beneath the ground.

Such details as are available came from the crewa of one a two shlpa In tho harbor which succeeded in escaping. It was not lava which destroyed St. Pierre. According to the best accounts, a black of explosive superheated steam, charged with glowing Incandescent particles, descended on the city, The phenomena In connection with the disaster are regarded aa among kho most extraordinary tn the history ot volcanic erup tions, The magnetic disturbance waa transmitted to the antipodal region of the cArth two minutes after disaster. while the noise of the eruption was heard plainly at Maracalbo, Venesuela, 800 miles PeKe continued active, and on' Aug.

SO another explosion almost identical with that of May 8 destroyed Mornt Rouge and other places, causing the lose of between 2.U00 and 2,500 Uvea Since that date the volcano has been more or less active con tinuously, discharging vast quantities of lapllU and ashes. y. Scientists who examined the of victims at BU Pierre were, struck with the resemblance be ween their attitudes and condition and the-' human remains (casts) recovered from, Pompeii, and It Is believed that, the destruction ot the two cities was caused In the same manner; Martinique ia mostly of volcanlo origin, Mount Peee being tho highest point; of tho Island. Earthquakes are ot frequent occurrence. The capital otui Island la Fort-de-France, which escaped damage In 1902, though tor weeks the Inhabitants were In great alarm.

St. Plerye waa about five miles frona Mount Pelee and Fert-de- ranee la about fifteen miles from the volcano. At the time of the eruption of 1002 phe nomena similar to those recorded In yes terday's dispatchea were reported from Guadeloupe, the Danish West Indies, and elsewhere. At the same time the Soufrl ere volcanoes In Guadeloupe and St, Vin cent were very active. EARTHQUAKE IN NEW MEXICO.
