"told me that the department had taken
three hundred and fifty bodies out to sea
and thrown them overboard. At last the
'authorities were driven to cremation,
right in the deserted streets of the ruined
city.
I was informed by the Hospital au
thorities that over twelve-hundred in
jured were under treatment, and it was
feared that they would lose at least four
hundred. Forty to fifty amputations a
day was the rule.
The entire main part of the city, over
a mile square, was entirely evacuated by
order of the governor, and all entrances
to it were guarded by soldiers, for several
days, while the work of excavation and
rescue of those imprisoned in the fallen
buildings and debris was going on. I
was passed, specially, the second day, in
a carriage, but was soon stopped by the
thickly spread bricks, mortar, timbers,
fallen electric poles, and other incum
brances. Even passage on foot was gen
erally difficult and hazardous, and often
impracticable.
The old race course and camp, enclos
ing some fifty acres, on the edge of the
city, was densely populated by refugees in
tents, shanties, vehicles, under the shade
of trees, and more frequently in the open
air. Many thousands were living there ;
old and young, of both sexes, aged and
infants. The city was a city of the dead,
and of those engaged in their extrication.
I drove to Constant Spring, about six
miles north, the main suburb of Kings
ton, and since the trolley was laid, con
siderably developed, largely by the
wealthier business and well-to-do fami
lies of Kingston, as well as by the visi
tors and officials from abroad. The
better residences were of brick, and every
one of these was made untenantable; the
majority of them ruined; many com
pletely thrown down.
A private family from the United
States, dear friends, who had leased a
fine brick residence and pen (farm) ad
joining, and who entertained us over
Christmas, were dispossessed, the shock
bringing down all interior walls and par
titions of brick and mortar, leaving the
exterior walls a shattered shell. The in
valid mother was literaly dug out of the
debris, not without injury. So far as I
could find, about every well-to-do family
was living in servants' quarters, and in
coach houses long, low buildings of
wood, or of the old Spanish construc
tion. The modem buildings stood fairly
well, much the best of any. The large
private residence of brick which I had
expected to enter in three days as a guest
was thrown down from roof to ground.
The little cheap rattled bamboo construc
tions, owned by the poor blacks, almost
universally escaped.
HOTEL GUESTS ON LAWN.
The Constant Spring Hotel was thor
oughly shaken up and abandoned. I saw
over 100 guests living out on the open
lawn, in tents, under shade, and often
under the open sky. Many of them were
invalids, and were exposed to slight
showers which added nothing to the
water supply, and only increased the
illness. Before I left, all had gone.
The mountain regions of the west and
east, while noting the shock, were not
substantially damaged.
As to the future of Jamaica, it is not
easy to predict ; so many of the leading
spirits have been taken away, the destruc
tion of property is so great, the terror of
it all is so depressing. The soil is still
wonderfully fertile ; the climate for the
tropics is unusually healthful, and, prob
ably, the island is safer than before for
many years. Earthquakes are not gotten
up to order over night. The conditions
generating them are slow ; decades, cen
turies even, being required for their de
velopment. My own apprehensions were for gen
eral severe sickness I will not use the
word pestilence owing to the severe
drought, the great penury of so many,
the after-results of so much shock, injury,
and illness. It is the severest loss of life
that has ever befallen Jamaica, and an
immense loss of property. And yet it is
encouraging to reflect that such catas
trophes are under laws ; that those laws
are servants, not masters; obeying His
will, which, though to mortal vision
shrouded in clouds and darkness, is not
only the strongest, but the wisest and
best ; that "righteousness and judgment
are still the habitations of His throne."

Sir. and Mrs. John llowler Iteturn
front midwinter Vacation.
John Bowler has returned from a mid
winter vacation passed at Pinehurst, N.
C, with enthusiastic ideas regarding what
the playing of golf or the shooting of
quail will profit anyone there, if there is
a wish for diversion from work.
He describes Pinehurst as the most
lovely spot in the sand belt of the Caroli
nas; a colony owing its existence to
Jame3 VV. Tufts of Boston, whose pur
chase for the family estate involves the
control of 35,000 acres.
Pinehurst, Mr. Bowler says, is not a
town, nor even a village, in the usual ac
ceptance of those terms. It is a private
property of the Tufts family, with 50 cot
tages and four hotels.
Mr. Bowler said he and Mrs. Bowler
left Pinehurst after a stay of nearly a
fortnight, with regret Worcester Tele
gram. The Chaffee Picture.
Everybody is glad to welcome the
coming of Mr. Albert II. Chaffee whose
annual Exhibitions of his work in Water
Colors and beautiful Sepias being special
pleasure to patrons of art. To those who
have travelled abroad, there are pleasant
reminders of beautiful spots and of Grand
Masterpieces. The Exhibition began at
The Holly Inn yesterday and will con
tinue through today closing at The Caro
lina Monday.
Sporting Notes.
Comiskey has received an offer for his
houseboat the White Sox and has decided
to sacrifice it for $50,000. As JoeCan
tillon would say, that sounds more like a
home run than a sacrifice.
