EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE DEVAS
TATE JAMAICAN CAPITAL.
FATALITIES ARE LESS THAN 100
Hospitals Are Filled With Injured and
List of Victims May Be Increased.!
Many of the Most Important Duild
Ings Destroyed.
New York, .Ian. 10. Kingston, tli
picturesque capltul of the Island o!
Jiunuiiu, has been devastated by a
violent earthquake.
Retails of the disaster arc lacking,
as direct communication with (tie
stricken city has boon cut otT. Tiie
land lines have been reconstructed to
within five miles of Kingston and frou.
meager report received through such
chammls a were open. It has been
learned that many of the most Import
ant buildings have been destroyed and
that there has been serious loss of
life.
So far as the reports Indicate. t!"'1
fatalities number less than 100, though
the hospitals are filled with injured,
and the list of victims may he mate
rially increased.
Kingston and the other points of In
terest of the Island are at this season
of the year thronged with tourists
from both America and England, and
the greatest apprehension is lolt for
the safety of many persons who had
recently arrived at the Jamaican re
sorts. The most distinguished of these
were members of a party of English
Mates me 11, agricultural experts and
men of affulrs, who under the Icadti
ship of Sir Alfred Jones, had arrived
In Kingston within the past few days
to attend an agricultural conference
there. Among those In tho .company
were Hall Calne, the novelist; Vis
count Montmorres, II. O. Arnold-Foi-Bier,
Sir Thomas II. Ungues, Str
Thomas Shauu and others or equui
praininnucp.
The first groat shock was Telt about
3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon ami
flames immediately sprung rroni tlie
wrecka;o to carry ou the work of ti -Btmctkwi.
At last reports the flro was
ptlll burning, although It was believed
to bn under control.
TI10 Myrtle Rank hotel, the principal
hotel at Kingston, which probably
sheltered tho great bulk of visitors
on the Island, Is reported destroyer.
Tho great military hospital was
burned and forty soldiers are reported
dead.
Sir James Fergusson Is said to have
been Instantly killed, hut according U.
, Loudon reports, no other Englishman,
Canadian or American Is believed to
be missing.
The extent of tho destruction which
has been wrought In Kingston, a city
which already bears the scars of a
number of disastrous visitations ot
fire, earthquake and eyclono In years
gone by, is still left largely to tho
imagination.
The city is one of low lying build
taps, clustered along the shores of
one of the finest and most sccurel.
land locked harbors in the West In
dies. The population, which numbers
50,000. Ib largely made up of native
blacks.
Many steamers carrying tourists to
Jamaica were en route to the Island
when the earthquake occurred, but It
so happened that, according to sched
ules, none of the ships from N
York or Boston was in Kingston har
bor Monday afternoon.

Minister of Finance Hopes to Be Able
to Avoid a Foreign Loan.
St. Petersburg. Jan. 10. The deficit
In tho budget of 1907 will, if tho ex
