of the plantations along the coast of the island of Jamaica have I been laid waste by a terrific hurricane which blew across the Caribbean sea yesterday. The violence was such that whole trees were uprooted, and the beach for miles is strewn with the wreckage of boats which were driven against the rocks. It is believed that the hurricane was much more violent at sea than in this vicinity, and the fear is expressed that a number of large vessels have been lost, together with many passengers. A sharp lookout is now being maintained along the coast, and reports are being awaited with considerable anxiety. As nearly as can be ascertained at this time, fully a score of deaths occurred on the island, and it is estimated that about twice that number were drowned in the small boats which were wrecked along the coast.

The death list may be still further increased when the reports from farther out at sea are received.

A conference was held yesterday etween Mayor Dan Driscoll and Assistant United States Attorney J. C. Brown for the purpose of discussing ways means lor having a government veterinary sent I hrough the interior in an effort to stamp out glanders, pernicious disease with which some of the lorscs of the camp appear to be afflicted. When City Physician H. J.

returned yesterday from a to the creeks and reported that an animal had been killed there Because it was suffering from gland- ers, the mayor instructed the chief of police to start an inspection of the animals in the livery barns of the town and to kill any found to be suffering from glanders. One animal was found and killed. The city has an ordinance that provides for the killing of animals suffering from contagious diseases und it is planned to enforce this to the letter so long ay there is trace of glanders in the district. But as the city's authority ceases when a barn outside of the city limits is reached, the work of thej municipality will be hampered greatly, unless a wntch can be kept at the roadhouses along the various trails leading in different directions from Fairbanks. A wire will be sent to the department at Washington, asking that government veterinary be sent North over the trail to examine the horses and barns along the way and to conduct a thorough examination of the animals in the Fairbanks district.

A reply is expected during the present week. City Physician McCallum has or-j dered that the barns of the city be whitewashed and then disinfected with bichloride of mercury solution, which, it is said, kills the germs of glanders. LONDON, Nov.
