The scenes around the residence where the remains were found are "worse than those of St. Pierre Itself. In the latter place ithe victims were mostly covered with ashes amd debrds. Near Carbet the correspondent of the Sun who accompanied the Italian consul sw 500 "bodies Immensely distended in an advance stage of decomposition, Nearly all were face downward . Those found ia the ruins of ithe dwelling's rwere badly charred. The body of a womam was found near a stream to which she evidently had fled in the hope of saving herself from the fiery flood. A large heap of bodies, apparently servants, were found in one spot. Another resi dence close by, partly sheltered by a hill on the St. Pierre side, escape! un touched. The windows are gome but the contents are unscathed. The only living thing seen in this district was an ox as thin "as ta skeleton. While the body of the, consul's daughter was being remoived the animal went to the beach, drank of the sea water and returned to the hillside. The correspondent went on 'foot from 5arbet ito St. Pierre. On the road tfie remains of a man and horse were pass ed.

The administrator's reports show that the country on the east coast, between Robin Rock and Georgetown, was apparently struck and devastated in a manner similar to that which destroyed St. Pierre, and I fear that practically all li-vflng beings in that radius were killed. Prolbably 1600 persons lost their lives. The ex act number will never be known. Man agers and' owners of the estates with their families and several of he better class of people have (been killed. A thousand - bodies have been found and iburied. One hundred (and sixty persons are-in the hospital at Georgetown. The details of the disaster are too harrow ing for description.

DWELLS ON IMPORTANCE OF ESTABLISHING THE NATIONAL APPALACHIAN FOREST RESERVE Washington, May 14. The senate to day temporarily sidetracked the Phil ippines civil government bill and dis- cussed the fortifications appropriation 4 bill. Several senators attacked the feasibility of the disappearing gun car riage. Penrose considered it sheer folly to expend money on the disappearing carriage until conclusive tests as to its utility had been made. Proctor pointed out that it was only used in modified form in England. Warren, who favored the disappear ing carriage, said England should not be taken as a criterion, as she was as far (behind in warfare as she was in the march of industrial (progress. The bill was finally laid aside and the senate adjourned. . . Early in the session a further con ference on the omnifbus claims bill was requested iby the house and new eon, ferres appointed.
