After the First Shock the Flamee Sprang From the Wreckage to Carry on the Work of Destruction Hospitals are Filled With Victims. to disWashington. According and from Cuba, Santiago, patches D. W. I., the city of Kingston, the picturesque capital of the island of Jamaica, has been devastated by a violent earthquake. Details of the disaster are lacking, with the as direct communication stricken city has been cut off. The land lines had been reconstructed to within five miles of Kingston Tuesday evening, and from meager reports received through such channels aa were open, it was learned that many of the most important buildings have been destroyed and that there has been serious loss of life. So far as the reports indicate, the fatalities number less than one hundred, though the hospitals are filled with injured and the list of victima may be materially 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 felt for the safety of many persons who had recently arrived at the Jamaican re sorts. The first great shock was felt about 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon and flames immediately sprang from the wreckage to carry on the work of de struction. Tuesday afternoon the fire was still burning, although it was be lieved to be under control. The Myrtle Bank hotel, the princi pal hotel at Kingston, which probably sheltered the great bulk of visitors on the island, is reported destroyed. The. great military hospital was burned and forty soldiers are reported dead. Sir James Ferguson is said to have been instantly killed, but according to London reports no other Englishman. Canadian or American is believed to be missing. The extent of the destruction which has 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 largely to the imagination. The city is one of build ings, clustered along the shores of one of (he finest and most securely landlocked harbors in the West Indies The population, which numbers 50,000, is largely made up of native blacks. Many steamers carrying tourists to Jamaica were enroute to the island when the earthquake occurred, but it so happened that, according to sched ules, none of the ships from New York or Boston was in Kingston harbor Monday afternoon. low-lyin- g GOVERNOR URGES ECONOMY Utah's Chief Executive Delivers Message to Legislators.
