These people are not destitute but are terrified. They want only one thing and that is to be taken far away. They say, God is angry and will de stroy the island with fire before it sinks under the sea, The consuls here and the officers of the war vessels in the harbor are way laid by persons crazed with fear and begging to be carried away. The weather is now calm and beau tiful, but the mountain is veiled in vol canic clouds, which often assume a very threatening aspect and occasional rumblings are heard. Some heavy and very welcome rain fell this morning. The United States steamer Dixie, Captain Berry, from New York, arrived today, after quick and safe passage. Her passengers include nmny world famous scientists. Prof. Robert T. Hill, Government Geologist; Prof. C. E. Bor chegrevink, the antartic explorer; Messrs. George Curtis and George Kee nan and a number of magazine writers and correspondents are also among the number to arrive. The Dixie ibegan landing here enormous cargoes of sup plies early and the store house on the shore soon became congested. The United States steamer Potomac went to inspect St. Pierre, with the vwiumanaers or ine iwar vessels now here. With the greatest difficulty the party succeeded in making a landing. The effects of the outburst yesterday. were tremendous. The huere towers of the cathedral were hurled to the earth. The bombardment of volcano stones is not sufficient to account for this and all evidences point to the passage of a furious blast of blazing gas, travelling at an enormous stpeed and with .incal culable force. The deposit of bould ers, ashes and angular stones is enor mous. Not a human, being saw what happened at St. Pierre yesterday morn- ng. Fort de France Js overwhelmed. Thissecond eruption was many times more violent than that which first affected St. Pierre and swept its people from the earth. Nor has all volcanic activity ceased. Vast columns 61 smoke and gas still pour from the great cra tex; and new fissures' jfctave opened on Cfi&' .'f&wntoiri $sfte-iira are vomiting yellow whirlwinds which rush now from One point and now from another. Boil ing mud is also thrown out at times in torrents that reach the sea and pro duce small tidal waves. From a sombre, silent city of death and desolation, St. Pierre has become a hideous amphithater of fiery, roaring destruction. The people are convinced that God is angry with the island and means to scourge it with fire and then sink it in the sea. Utter and unreasoning fear possesses all souls. Even Port de France is believed to be unsafe. The presence of the relief ships, however, is helpful to the population who say The American makes safety." The Potomac could not arraroach close to St. Pierre. The Dixie will sail tomorrow for St. Vincent, but the other vessels will remain. The scientistts who have arrived will IIOOH AN, PUGILIST, DYING IN BOSTON Boston, May 22. Tommy Noonam (white) the pugilist, is dying in the city hospital (tonight.
