Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 24. In
compliance with the request-" which
Implies the command of Sir James
Alexander Swettenham, Captain
General and Governor-In-Chief of
the British West Indian Island of
Jamaica, the American landing par
ties have been withdrawn from
Kingston, and Rear-Admiral C. H.
Davis with his relief fleet, consist
ing of the battleships Indiana and
Missouri and the gunboat Yankton,
has sailed away.
Swettenham had refused the tents
and offers of assistance made by the
Americans, and practically told them
that their kind offices were not
wanted.
The correspondent saw the Ameri
can officers just before they left.
They foel Insulted and Indignant be
cause of the refusal of their assist
ance, which they saw was highly ne
cessary to the relief of suffering.
The field hospital which the Amer
icans established last Tuesday, and
where scores have been attended,
has been removed, owing to the de
parture of the Americans. The other
hospitals are still overcrowded.
Indignation Over Governor's Action.
Much indignation Is manifest be
cause of the unsympathetic attitude
at Governer Swettenham. Intensify
ing dissatisfaction Is being expressed
by all classes over what is considered
Bie unwise refusal of American as
sistance. The situation was Improving, but
the Governor's strange action has
nade It worse.
The Americans say that. In com
parison, conditions here are much
worse than those resulting from the
San Francisco disaster. The hosni-
tals are running over, doctors and
nrses working without sleep.
Lady Swettenham and her sister
are serving as cooks In the hospitals.
The men from the American war
ibfps gave valuable assistance before
Aelr departure.
It was an abrupt and pal iful con
clusion which forced Use if upon
lear-Admiral Davis and hl.i mission

Governor Swettenham objected to

Admiral Davis was shocked and

Jovernor, Informing him that the In

at Immediate compliance with
loTernor Swettenhara's request was
only course consistent with the
Agiilty of the United States.
The friction between the Governor

Jval of the American war vessels,
-then the Governor objected to the

ko the firing for a new earth--jtake.
He also declared there was

Rear Admiral Davis, however,
nded parties of bluejackets, who
atrolled the streets, cleared the
brls, razed the ruins, attended
any of the wounded, and won the
Jghest praise from citizens and milt-
wry officers for excellent work.

HELD VP RELIEF SUPPLIES.
Kingston's Customs Rales Not Re
laxedBritish Cruiser Arrives.
St. Thomas, D. W. I., Jan. 24.
The cable ship Henry Holmes ar
rived off Plum Point, Kingston. Her
Captain reports that no pilot awaited
him. He waited until daylight
and then entered the harbor to
deliver the relief stores sent by tho
Danish Government. He had some
difficulty In landing these provisions
because of customs formalities.
According to tho Captain's mos
snge, the situation at Kingston has
not been exaggerated; It 1b simply
appalling. Hardly a house Is stand
ing. The city Is one mass of debris
and the stench from bodies being
burned on the steets Is awful.
The extreme point of Port Royal
has sunk 200 feet, and vessels ap
proaching It must exerlcse great cau
tion. The mind can scarcely grasp
the extent of the calamity. If rain
falls the misery will become Intense
and an epidemic most probably fol
low. The British cruiser Indefatigable
reached Kingston.
NEGROES AT WHITE HOUSE.
Six Among the Guess at the Recep
tion to the Judiciary.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 24. The
presence of six negroes at the recep
tion given by President and Mrs.
Roosevelt to the Judiciary caused
comment. Ordinarily it Is not re
markable for negroes to be present
at such official functions, as Invita
tions are frequently given to negros
connected with the Government, but
none was present at the diplomatic
reception two weeks ago and tho
cause was supposed to bo resentment
among negroes to the President's
course in dismissing the negro sol
diers. W. T. Vernon, Register of tho
Treasury, who Is a large and excep
tionally black negro, was at the ro
ceptlon with three negro women.
The identity of the other negroes
present could not be ascertained.

1,300 PERISH IX TIDAL WAVE.
Terrible Destruction Wrought on
Isle of Sliunlu.
Utrecht, Jan. 24. A desiatch
from the Governor of AtJeh to tho
Dutch Governor General states that
the tidal wave which devastated tho
Dutch East India Islands on January
12, caused 1,500 deaths on the Isl
and of Slmalu.
Severe earthquake shocks are be
ing felt daily on the Island.
Simalu, or Pulo Slmalu. the north
ernmost of the large Islands off the
west coast of Sumatra, Is about fifty-
three miles in length, and from four
to thirteen miles in breadth. It is
covered with vegetation and divided
by a chain of mountains, of which
Gunong Slbahu and Gunong Slblhan
attain a height of about three thou
sand feet. The latter mountain lies
about five miles from the coast,
abreast of Pulo Klllk, while Slbahu Is
situated at the narrow neck of the
island, opposite Tapak Bay.
There are no streams of anv im
portance on the Island, which is thick
ly populated. The inhabitants, esti
mated to number about 10,000, re
side principally in Bmall villages near
the coast Besides these about 600
Malays and Chinese have settled in
Slmalu.
Only the coast land is under cul
tivation. The intelor is wooded, but
there is comparatively little heavy
timber. Trade is confined to Padang
and other ports on the west coast of
Sumatra, and Is carried on chiefly hv
a system of tarter, the use of coins
having been introduced only recently.

HEAVY PROPERTY LOSS

Martial Law Prevails Business
Section Gone Fire Did the Great
est Damage People Received
Warning of Approaching Quake.
Holland Bay, Jamaica, Jan. 20.
Bo much confusion exists In King
ston that conflicting reports of the
damage done by the earthquake on
Monday are recolved. No two of the
couriers arriving to file cable de
spatches tell the same story. The
sub-telegraph station just outside
the city Is not in good working order
and hence nothing trustworthy
comeB from there.
According to the best advices re
ceived here the dead will number
from 100 to 300, and tho wounded
may reach 1,000. They are mostly
negroes. Although nearly every
house Is damaged to some extent by
the earthquake, most of the city was
spared from the fire. The water sup
ply was disarranged In places, but
not entirely cut off.
With the first shock many struct
ures In the poorer part of the city
went down, and fire started along
tho wharves where the wreckage of
the freight sheds offered Immediate
fuel. The clogging of the streets with
debris and the great confusion fol
lowing the shocks paralyzed the flro
department for a time and tho
flames along the waterfront had
galnod considerable headway before
it could bring to bear any effective
work.
Immediately after the first severe
shock the people rushed into the
streets. Succeeding shocks toppled
over weakened walls on many of
them. Rescue work began at once.
The General Hospital was not de
stroyed by the quake. Thither carts
and stretchers bore the wounded as
fast as they were rescued from the
wreckage.
Tho shock destroyed the ' Myrtle
Bank Hotel. The British military
station was destroyed and the camp
hospital for Invalided soldiers was
likewise wrecked entirely.
Sir James Fergusson Is the only
foreigner reported killed. No other
foreigners are missing.
One reason why the death list Is
not greater among the whites is be
cause there was practically a warn
ing of imminent danger. A tremen
dous wind storm arose and partial
darkness obscured the city and sub
urbs. This aroused the fears of thou
sands and all were on the alert when
the first shake began. The people ran
out of their homes, and when the se
vere quake came, which lasted four
or five minutes and were of sustain
ed Intensity, the whites were chiefly
out in the open.
The negroes, on the contrary, took
to cover to a great extent. The poor
er part of the city Is where the great
est loss of life occurred and the vic
tims were almost exclusively ne
groes. Along the water front and
the chief business streets several
whites were probably killed in the
collapse of buildings.
From messages received here it is
Judged that order ' was restored
quickly in the city. There are two
regiments of negro zouaves, officered
by white men, near the city. They
are regulars and highly trained. AH
those whe were not killed or Injured
were immediately at the service of
the Governor, and report has it that
they were thrown at once into the
city and did fine work in helping to
restore order. Some of them were
put at fighting the fire and others
were set to guard the banks and
other places where valuable property
was In danger.
