WABRHINGTON, Jan. 19—That the borrors of the earthquake and fire In Kingston, Jamaica, have been greatly underestimated is indicated by the re celpt of dispatches from the stricken city which have been delayed. These state that thousands lost their lives and that not for 250 years has Jamalcs experienced such a violent earthquake. The first hegvy shock was followed Ly Bfteen others of lesser lo- tensity. The streets of Kingston are wow picketed with Awerican guanls, Ad- miral Evans, at the request of the Brit Ish autherities. having lunded a num ber of marines from the battleships Missouri and Indlinn Six bondred bodies have been recov ered, and more are being constantly found. Dynaiiite is being employed to clear away the debris of shattered bulldings Because of their long linmuvity resi dents of the Island bad begun to bulld brick bouses, which crumple easily, and this acceunts for many of the deaths. Within an bour thousands of persons were made homeless, and hundreds were anduring agony from broken beads and limbs under the open sky. The city doctors were busy all night amputating limbs and dressing wounds, The werst cases were taken to the pub Hie hospital, where the staff of doctors attended to them but many expired before morning. The work of rescuing entombed peo- ple was continued Tuesday and Wed- nesday, and fully 400 corpses were re eovered, but many wore wers burned to ashes In the fire. Attemuptis at loot- ing were made by the rabble, but the military guards stationed at the prin- cipal corners succeeded in restoring or der. Efforts are being made by the gov- ernment to clear the debris from the streets, but the laborers are afrald of the ruins and of further shocks, and consequently slow progress is belug made. On Monday night ffteen distinct shocks were felt, but they did no dam- age. On Tuesday there were twenty shocks, and on Wednesday there were ten. A dispatch from Captain W. P. For- ward, the Hamburg-American agent at Kingston, says: “Pring Waldemar stranded at 2 this morning near Plam point. Merritt- Chapman wrecking steamer Premler gone {o her rescue.” Plum point is a lighthouse point about ten miles east of Klogston, whither the steamer was bound when she struck. The Prinz Waldemar left Port Limon the day of the earthquake. The shocks having destroyed the lights, the steamer presumably lost her way. It is stated by the Hamburg-Ameri- can officials that the passenger list is probably net large, as the steamer ex- pected to take on most of her passen- gers at Kiogston. The vessel was to have sailed direct frown Kiogsion to New York.

A Sautiago (Cuba) dispatch says that the steamer Tomas Brookes has ar- rived there from Kingston with seven. teen refugees. They paint a horrible picture of the catastrophe at the Ja- malean capital and confirm the reports of the destruction of the priacipal bulldings. The pilots do not dare to enter the harbor owing to the changes in the channel. The Machado cigar factory, in which many Cubans were at work, crumbled, and 120 of them were killed.

Dr. Thomas R. Slicer, the Unita- rian clergyman, whe, with the Iate company to discontinue its service to the poolroonms. Dr. Blicer’s comment was occasioned Jerome to a committee of the National Federation of Churches and Christian Workers when be said: “Mr. Belmont himself wouldn't go across the street to get to a track If there wasn't bet- ting, and neither would anybody else” “It should be made plain” sald Dr. Slicer, “that I am not antagonistic te Mr, Jerome.
