PORT ANTONIO, Jamaica. Jan. 16.
~HNingsten, the picturesque capital of
the island of Jamaica, has been devas
tated by a viclent earthquake, and all
direct communication with the strick-
en city has been cut off.
The land and telegraph lines which
bad been thrown down have been re-
constructed to within five les of
Kingston, and from meager . | tx re-
ceived through these channe.. it has
been learned that many of the mest
important buildings bave been destroy-
od and that there has been serious loss
of life
Kingston has been ruined by the
earthquake, and a very great number
of bLullding= and dwellings were de
stroyed either by the eiriliguake or by
the consequent fire
The city is qulet
workers are ueeded,
The governor of the colony, Sir Alex-
ander SweMenham, assisted by Sir Al
fred Jones, Is directing affairs
The reports indicate that the fatal
ties number less than 100, though the
hospitals are fSlied with injured, and
the list of victims may be materially
increased.
The frst great shock was felt about
830 o'clock In the afternoon on Mon-
day and as in the San Francisco and
Valparaiso disasters, flames Immed!
ately sprung from the wreckage to
carry on the work of destruction, and
al last reports the fire was stil} burn-
ing. although it was believed to be
under control.
The Myrtle Bank hotel, the principal
hotel at Kingston, which probably
sheltered the great bulk of visitors on
the island, Is reported destroyed. The
military hospital was burned, and for-
ty soldiers are reported dead.
Bir James Ferguson Is said to have
been instantly killed, but so far as re
ported no other Englishman, Canadian
or American Is belleved to be missing.
The extent of the destruction which
bas been wrought In Kingston, a city
which already bears the scars of a
number of disastrous visitations of fire,
earthquake and cyclone in years gone
by, is still left Jargely to the Imagina-
tion. The city Is one of low lylng
buildings, clustered along the shores
of one of the finest and most securely
but disciplined
land locked harbors In the West Indies.
The population, which numbers 50.-
000, “is largely made up of native
blacks.
Many steamers carrying tourists to
Jamalta were en route fo the island
when the earthquake occurred, but no
disasters to any of them are reported.
Kingston and the other points of in.
terest of the island are =f this season
of the year thronged with fourists from
America amd Eoglaud, and the
greatest apprehension is felt for the
safety of many persons who had re
cently srrivedmt the Jamnican resorts.
The most distinguished of these were

affairs, who, under the leadership of

passengers on board, avhich gave her a
total passenger list of more than 100

Cablegrams giving the first direct
account of the disaster were sent from
the cable station at Holland Bay,
which Is located in the swampy section
of the sland near Port Antonio.

The flames apparently have been

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. —Secretary
of State Elihu Root was the principal
=peaker at the frat session of the for
eign commerce conxention and was ac
corded an ovation, his remarks fre
quently belog interrupted by prolonged
applause and cheers. He gave a re
sume of the trade relations of the
United States practically with the en-
tire world and what was needed to
secure greater commercial advantages
for this country. Incidentally he touch
ed upon the tariff and sald, speaking
for himself alone, that he favored the
policy of maximum and minimum rates
To this view, he said, the country was
advancing, and for that matter the
whole world was advancing He sald
our reiations continually grow more
reasonable, more sensible and kindly
with Europe, “with our vigorous and
growing neighbor to the north, with
our rapidly advancing and developing
neighbors to the south and with the
nations that face us on the other side
of the Pacific” Little occasions for
controversy, he sald, little causes of Ir
ritation aud little incidents of conflict-
log Interest continually arise as they
do among friends and neighbors in the
same town, but the general trend of
international relation was toward mu-
tual self respect, mutual consideration
aud substantial good understandisg.
Becretary Root then entered into an
exhaustive discussion of the resources
of the Latin American republics and
made a plea for closer trade relations
with them. These republics, he sald.
were now on a stable basis and were
in a position to give protection to
American enterprise and property,
The comstruction of the Pan-Ameri-
can raliroad, Secretary Root prophe-
sled, would be an accomplished fact
before the lapse of many years, so
that It would be possible for passen.
fers and merchandise to travel from
Maine to.Buenos Ayres. He sald fur
ther that one of the objects of the Rio
conference last summer was to further
the interest of the bullding of that
road apd that It had bad its effect. He
severely criticised the steamship serv-
Ice between this country and the South
American ports and declared that sub
sidles alone, to meet the cheaper wages
and living expenses of foreign steam-
ship lines, could bring about a proper
American merchant maripe. He sald
it was A smd commentary that dls
patches from the state department to
South America, as a rule, were for
warded via Europe, so poor was the
service direct.
As to the smaller countries about the
Caribbean, nnd particularly the West
Indian countries, Secretary Root sald
they had Lad a bard time, the condl-
tions belog such that at times It was
difficult for them to maintain a stable
government, cursed as they were by
frequent revolution. “Poor Cuba,” he
exclaimed, “with her wonderful climate
and richness of soll, has suffered. We
have done the best we could to help
her, and we wean to go on doing the
best we can to belp her.”
Continuing, he mald that the attitude
of the United States toward these coun-
tries could be put lu three sentences:
“First, we don't want to take them
ourselves; second, we don't want any
foreign nation to take them for them-
selves, and, third, we want to belp
them, and we will."
There was, be sald, much talk about
annexing Cuba, but, sald he, ‘never so
long as the people of Cuba do uot thel-
selves give up the effort to govern
themselves”

But in the end, when the pleader sat |
in tears, Justice Truax decided Russell
was still insane and remanded him fo

Court Justice Almet F. Jenks, Kussell!

This was to sustain Russell's conten
tion that the court records had been

former Governor Odell, to keep him In|

His Inauguration was a simple cere-
mony, there lelng a programme In-
chling only praver, the administra-
tio of oath and then, as the cannon
boomed the gubernatorial salute of
keventeen guns, the deliverance of an

representing the military, municipal
and civic branches of the state life
The ceremonies began with a prayer
by the Rev. Dr. J. Gray Bolton of
Philadelphia, a personal friend of the
Incoming governor. The certificate of

sionlog of Edwin 8S. Stuart as the
twenly-seventh governor of Peunsyl

Iu the matter of the controversy over
