SCRANTON, Pa., May 10. Today, the arder of the executive "committee of the United Mlneworkers, made through Presi dent .Mitchell, to suspend -work At all an- thraclte mines Monday and to continue until the Hazleton convention, -which Is called for next "Wednesday, may decide he question finally. Is regarded as the ac tual strike condition which simply smoothed the way for the delegates to tct That the order to suspend work Monday will be followed hy the Mine-workers ia already an assured fact, for so eager are Ihe men in this region to follow their lead ers that this morning found a number of mines so handicapped by workmen re maining away that the force on hand was loo small for profitable work, and they cloEed down for the day. This Is the semi-monthly payday at the Delaware, Lackawanna & "Western mines In the Lackawanna Valley. The Delaware Be Hudson paid oft Thursday, and others of the big companies will disburse many thousands of dollars to their employes within the next half week, so with what the mlneworkers have been laying aside In preparation for this struggle with the operators, feeling that a strike was immi nent, they are not so poorly provided for as has been reported. There is a strong sentiment among the miners In this district that President Mitchell Is opposed to a strike, and that no matter how the operators may view It, the Mlneworkers Union can afford to refuse to engage in the conflict which, they say the operators are Inviting. On the Saturday preceding the Monday on which the IBM strike took place, the mine bosses worked among their personal friends in the ranks of tho miners to urge them against obeying the strike or der. Today, tho botsea are religiously holding aloof from their men. There Is absolutely no effort on the part of the operators, so far as is apparent here, to discourage a, strike. This, coupled with J the fact that the rank and file are firmly convinced that President Mitchell Is against a strike, will have a ptrong In fluence toward an antl-strlke vote at the meetings to bo held Monday afternoon. President Mlichell and committeemen of the three districts held a meeting this morning, but nothing was made public as to their deliberations. The committeemen left for their homes this afternoon. Pres ident Mitchell Is still here attending to his correspondence. He will leavo for Hazleton Tuesday afternoon. The works have laid off nearly all their coal crews snd efforts will be made to run the wash ers to supply coal for locomotives. Shnmolcln Men Will Strike. SHAMOKIN, Pa., May 10. "When bul letins were posted here announcing the action of the Scranton convention In or dering a cessation of work until the min ers could decide for themselves whether or not to strike, local members of the union, with few exceptions, said they would remain away from the mines. They are satisfied that President Mitchell did all in his power to obtain concessions for them. From present Indications, every colliery and waehery here will be tied up next week. A ew miners did not go to the operations today. Business men are discouraged. They think a strike is in evitable, and that the tie-up will be of such duration that many of them will be ruined. Vote for Permanent Strike. PITTSTON, Pa., May 10. It is em phatically stated by union leaders that the entire 15,090 mlneworkers of this section will support the organization. At the col lieries the superintendents were busy di recting the removal of mules. Very little coal was mined, the work being confined principally to clearing the chambers and preparing for the struggle which now ap pears certain. It Is authoritatively stated here today that the delegates to thfc Hazleton convention from this district will go Instructed to vote for a contin uance of the suspension. This was de cided late last night at secret meetings of the local unions. Assnnlts on Labor Union Men. SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. May 1C The lo cal branch of the American Federation of- Labor, at a meeting held last evening, resolved to cable the following dispatch to Samuel Gompers, president of the Am erican Federation: 'Mere than six assaults have been made upon Federatlonlbts within a week, seri ously wounding unprotected men. Protest to President Roosevelt" Strike JInr Be n Long One. POTTSVILLE, Pa.. May 10. The news that the miners will suspend work Mon day was received with consternation. It was the sentiment after President Mitch ell's failure at arbitration that a strike was Inevitable, and It Is feared It will be a longer one than that of two years ago. CONTENTS OF TODAY'S PAPER.

"The Island of Martinique, and especially the City of St. Pierre, is a beautiful place In which to be born and a pleasant place to die, but to live there Is attended by more dangers than is compensated for by Its attractions." Vincent de Messlmy, local representa tive of a French wholesale liquor house, who thus characterizes the jilace, which has been visited by such terrible disas ter, was born in 8t Pierre. All of his family, a sister, her daughter, two uncles and several cousins are there. Of their fate he knows nothing. His sister is Mrs. Joseph de Masslas. His uncles are Al phonso de Mlsslmy and M. Augraln, wealthy planters, and his cousins, Rob ert and Roger Augraln, and Jacques, Al bert and Marguerite de Mlsslmy, Until 18SS, when Mr. de Mlsslmy married a daughter of "William Gareaehe, of St. Louis, then American Consul to Martin ique, he remained in St. Pierre, but has visited there only once since. "Knowing the place as I do," be said, "I have little doubt that the disaster was Just as terrible as has been described, and my anxiety for the fate of my sis ter and other relatives la great. Thero have been several eruptions of Mount Pe lee, but never such a terrible catastrophe as that which Is being described in the papers. That is why I think the reports have not been exaggerated. Undoubtedly, when ashes began to fall days ago, people thought it would he unsafe to remain out of doors, and when the fatal eruption came were caught in thsir houses, victims of the false security engendered by pre vious comparatively harmless disturb ances." Lived In Exposed Section. STOCKTON. CaL, May 10. Mme Louise Louit, a teacher of French in this city, is prostrated over the news of the ter rible disaster at St. Pierre, Martinique, as her sister and family resided in that city. On learning of the volcanic erup tion, she swooned, and has been in a serious condition for hours, though at times she would discuss the terrible loss of life. Her sister, Mme. Gentile, her husband, two sons, George and Raoul, and two daughters, Alice and Anlas, are believed to have been Jellied, as she says they lived In a portion of the city where they would be greatly exposed to the molten lava which flowed down tho moun tain elde. ' Raoul Gentile was irated as one cf tho most brilliant lawyers and orators on the island, and has held many prominent po sitions of trust. For the past two years he has been one of the representatives from the Island to the French Chamber of Deputies. Ilia Sisters ut St. Pierre. GALVESTON, Tex.. May 10. A. Droul thel, who is a native of the town of Cas tries, Island of St. Lucia, and who is now a resident of this city, is much con cerned for the safety of his four sisters, who are residents of St. Pierre. Mr. Droultbel spent three years in school at St Pierre. He belleveB that If the dam age is as great as reported, it must have been caused by tho eruption of some fresh volcano nearer to the city than is Mount Pclee, accompanied by an earth quake. He cannot understand the re ported damage by fire to the shipping, as, he says, the boats are anchored a mile or more from the city. Survivors of the Boralms. NEW YORK, May 10.

In Martinique, had been In a state of erup tion since Saturday, May 3, throwing out ashes. The same day, violent thunder storms began here. Tuesday, a very heavy storm occurred, and loud detonations were heard. At noon came a rumor that lava was flowing from Mount Pelee, and that"300 lives had been lost at St. Pierre. All that day were heard here loud noises like tha discharge of heavy artillery far off. Jt Is not known that these noises were from the Martinique volcano. In the afternoon, the cable connections with Martinique all disappeared. A very heavy thunder storm then broke over Guadeloupe and lasted for a considerable time, and rumors were current Jthat the Souffrlere volcano. In Guadeloupe, was more active. The earth was trembling, and volcanic- rumblings were heard. News of the disaster In Martinique reached hero hy the French -yarship Su chet, Friday morning. Nearly every one here has relatives In Martinique, and in tense sorrow prevails. The first mate of tho Roralma thus de scribes the disaster at St. Pierre: "Between 6:30 and 7 o'clock In the morn ing on Thursday, without warning, there came a sort of whirlwind of steam, boil ing mud and fire, which suddenly swept the city and the roadstead. There were some 18 Vessels anchored lh the harbor. Including the Roralma, the French sail ing ship Tamaya, four larger sailing ships and others. All five vessels Immediately canted over and began to burn. The Tamaya was a bark from Nantes. Can- tain Maurice, and was on her way to -. "uikc-u-.irii.ic-. ah we Doais except tne Roralma sank Instantly and at the" same moment. "Every house ashore was utterly de stroyed and apparently burled under the ashes and burning lava. An officer "who was sent ashore penetrated but a short distance Into the city. He found only a few walls standing -and the streets liter ally paved with corpses. The Governor of the islands, who arrived only a few hours before the catastrophe, was killed. Both the English and American Consuls with their families were reported to have per ished. ItMs certain that no more than 40 out of 25,000 could have escaped." The cruiser Suchet was here yesterday, buying provisions for the survivors In the outlying districts. She sailed for Fort d& France last night with a large quantity i ml Biuree, wnicn were immediately put under military guard. Negroes are flock ing In vast numbers Into Fort de France from the surrounding country, demand ing food. A telegram from Fort de France says that hot mud and cinders have been falling all night throughout the island, and still continue doing great damage, and that when the final reports are re ceived It will be found that'many people have been killed or Injured In other parts of Martinique. The Quebec line steamship Korona ar rived at the Island of Dominica yesterday bringing a number of survivors from her sister ship, tho Roralma. The captain of. the Korona says the eruption at St. Pierre was apparently from a new crater, and that accompanying the eruntlon there seemed to be a tidal wave which over whelmed the shipping. A message from the Island of St. Vin cent says: "The Souffrlere has been, In a state of eruption for nine consecutive mornings. On Thursday morning the day broke with heavy thunder and lightning, which soon changed into a continuous tremendous roar. Vast columns of smoke rose over tho mountain, becoming denser and denser, and the scorla-llke hall, chang ing later to fine dust, fell upon all tho adjacent -estates, destroying a vast amount of property. At Chateau Belalr the ashes were two feet deep In the streets. In Kingston they were fully an Inch deep, and many large stones fell In the parks of Georgetown. The earth shook violently, and at 4 o'clock In the afternoon a midnight darkness spread over the country. "Thirty people are known to be killed, and the damage to property in the Wind ward district was very heavy. The storm roared about Souffrlere all night without cessation, but on the following morning It became intermittent and fainter." A report from Barbadoes says that on the 7th the sky was heavily overcast, the heat was excessive and there was a dis tant sound of thunder. Later, early In the afternoon, dense darkness set In, and a great quantity of vivid dust fell and continued falling until a late hour. No damage Is reported. FRENCH CRUISER IX THE HARBOR. Saw A'o Sign of Life In the Town of St. Pierre. PARIS, May ia The Minister of Marine has received the following undated dis patch from Polnt-a-Pltre, Island of Guad aloupe, from the commander of the French cruiser Suchet: "I have obtained the following informa tion of the events yesterday: "About 8 o'clock the volcano threw up a considerable mass of smoke and earth. A whirlwind of flre immediately followed. Instantly the whole town of St. Pierre was in flames, and the ships In the harbor were dismasted and burned. The shower of rocks lasted a quarter of an hour. I arrived at St. Pierre at 2 'o'clock In the afternoon, and saved a few persons from the ships. I saw no living creature In St. Pierre, to which It was Impossible to penetrate. There were numerous corpses near the quay." A telegram from the Governor of the Island of Guadeloupe contains the latest news of the Martinique cataclysm received at the Colonial Office. After announcing that the French cruiser Suchet had 20 sur vivors on board, the Governor of Guade loupe says: "Everything tends to the belief that the Governor of the colony, M. L'Mouttet, and Colonel Gerbault and their wives per ished with the population of St Pierre. I have ordered the prompt dispatch of pro visions from Polnte-a-PItre and Basset terre. The Suchet sails for Martinique this evening. All of the people and the supplies of Guadeloupe are at your dis posal ior relief." A never-ending procession of Inquirers whs have friends and relative? on the stricken island is arriving at the Ministry of the Colonies, which has telegraphed to every possible source for Information. The Bishop of Martinique sent a cable gram frpra'Fort do France, forwarded at 5:S0 P. M. yesterday, announcing the safety of Pastor King, of St. Pierre, who escaped the disaster and sought refuge at Mornerouge. It is hoped that others fled there. Cable messages have been received by the southern route. All the northern cables are interrupted. At least 60 fam ilies at Bordeaux are bereaved. Most of the business of St. Pierre wa3 transacted through Bordeaux. The Patrle says the wife of Senator Knight has received a cable dispatch from her husband, dated Fort de France,. Mar tinique, at 3 P. M. yesterday, saying! "WelL. Property safe." The cable dispatch also said that Mcrne Rouge was spared. Morne Rouge- is a beautiful resort situated between th City of St Pierre and the crater of Mount Pelee. The Minister of Marine. M. Delassen, has received the following from Fort de France, Martinique, under date of May 10. IP.ffi "Arrived a Fort de France with pro visions, passing close to St Pierre, Fire continues, volcano still emitting ashes with less density. "SUCHET." APPEARANCE OF THE CITY. Houses Seem to Have Disappeared as 12 Swallowed Up. - FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, May 10. The volcano 'o'f Mount Pelee, naar St Pierre, had shown since May 3 alarming symptoms,. . vomiting ashes - and' mud. I There was, however, little excitement, and few families left the place. Thursday, May 8. at about S o'clock in the morning, a terrible volcanic eruption occurred, the effect of wblch was felt all over the Island. At Fort de France stones fell weighing from seven to ten and even up to fifteen grammes. Thick clouds of ashes obscured the sun and filled the atmosphere. Panic seized tho population. The sea receded a distance of 25 metres and rushed back with great force, afterward resuming its normal level. The French cruiser left here, followed soon by all available steamers towing lighters and carrying rescuers and pro visions. Their returrf was awaited with great anxiety. An hour after they left a steamer arrived and announced that St. Pierre was overwhelmed; that the town was In flames, as well as the settlements along the shore; that the ships in the harr bor were on flre and the sea greatly dis turbed. ' The Suchet returned here about 6 o'clock In the evening, bringing 20 persons, who were frightfully burned. Nine of these succumbed while they were being taken to the hospital here. Night came on and the searchlights of the Suchet lighted up .the. wharves where the work of debarka tion was being carried on. It Is estimated that 30.000 persons per ished at St, Pterrev. ,A11 the roads leading out of the city are choked with dead bodies, according to "$he reports reaching here. A-.second rellet expedition was sent out and brought back some of the inhabitants of Corbet. They were crazed with terror and dying from hunger. The expedition succeeded In reaching St. Pierre, which Is reported to be entirely destroyed. The dead bodies found were entirely nude. Tho houses seem to have disappeared as if they had been "swallowed up In a great pit. Immense iron columns wore found twist ed and bent over In the direction of the sea. It is believed that M. L'Mouttet, the Governor of Martinique, Is among those who have perished. His wife went to St, Pierre the evening before the disaster. ERUPTION OF SOUFFRIERE. Particulars of the Catastrophe That Have Reached London. i LONDON, May 10. The following cable gram was received this morning at the Colonial Office from Governor Sir Mitchell Hodgson, of Barbadoes: . "The Souffrlere volcano, on St Vincent, B. W. L, erupted violently yesterday. Loud noises resembling artillery flre were heard at Barbadoes at 3 o'clock In the afternoon. At JT o'clock there came dark ness and thunder, accompanied by a strong downpour of dust which continued until night Barbadoes is covered several Inches deep with dust this morning. Have telegraphed Sir Robert B. Llewellyn, Gov ernor of the Windward Islands, offering him all assistance"." Another cablegram received from Ad ministrator Bell, of the Island of Domin ica, Is as follows: "A terrible volcanic eruption has oc curred at Martinique. Great distress pre vails there. I am sending provisions im mediately. All safe at Dominica." Thirty deaths are reported to have oc curred at the Island of St Vincent ac cording to a telegram received at the Colonial OfHce this morning from Gover nor Llewellyn, forwarded from St Lucia yesterday" evening. The Governor adds: "Information Incomplete. Eruption con tlnues. I am endeavoring to get back to St Vincent" Steele, Young & Co., of this city, own ers of the British steamer Roddam, which escaped from St. Pierre to St. Lucia, re ceived this morning the first news from their agents at St. Lucia, as follows: "Terrible volcanic eruption at Marti nique. Roddam returned. One anchor and chain slipped; Tarpaulins and running gear burned. Machinery Intact. Captain In hospital. Two mates, chief engineer and eight of crew dead. Ten In hospital. Second and third engineers aboard. Camp bell, supercargo, dead. Communication between here and Barbadoes Interrupted." Communication is still obtainable with the Island of Guadeloupe, French West indies, but the news Is congested, owing to the confusion prevailing in the cable system and the numerous official messages filed. The receipt of the first direct cable news from Martinique depends upon how long the French company wjll take In re pairing the cable to Fort-de-France, the capital of 'the Island, on which they are now working. Private dispatches received late this aft ernoon say that the eruption at Marti nique Is decidedly worse. The French Cable Company received cablegrams this morning announcing that the eruption, at Martinique continues, and that ships are afraid to go near the island. The latest messages Indicate that the number of deaths will be about 40,000. sev eral of the smaller Islands near Marti nique having also suffered. Between 8 In the morning and S In the evening of Tues day, May 8, St Pierre was a mass of fire, and there was also a volcanic eruption at St Vincent The Island of St. Thomas Is sending help. A ship which arrived Friday. May 9, at the Island of Dominica, British West In dies, and which was lying off St Pierre when the eruption commenced, reports that the noise was terrible. A huge cloud or nre appeared over the town and neigh borhood, giving the Inhabitants no chance to escape. Lloyd's agent at St. Lucia, B. W. I., cables that later news fully confirms the disaster at St Pierre. He says he cannot ascertain the names of the vessels which have been lost, but they Include one Ital ian bark and two steamers, one probably being the Grappler, the cable-ship belong ing to the West India & Panama Tele graph Company. The total loss of life Is estimated at 40,000. Lloyd's agent at St. Thomas, D. W.
