The colonial oll'ioo last night received colt tirmat ion of t ho terrible disaster which has overtaken Kingston, Jamaica, in a 1 1 i -j wt 1 1 -h frmn llarnar (irceriwnnd, M. P., sent from Holland, at the east end of the island. Th telegram says Kingston has been ruined by an earth'piake w hich (st'iirreil without warning Monday afternnnti nb 5 :'' n'clo k. A very great, numlier of buildings and dwellings were destmyeil eithiT by the cart litiake or by the enn seipient fire. 'J he military hosjiital was burned and 40 soldiers were rrfsirted to havo been killed, together with several jirniiiiiient cit izens and many other in habitants of the city. Sir James Fer guson is reported to have liecn killed instantly, but no other Englishmen, Canadians nr Americans were missing. The city is (jiiiet, but disciplined workers are needed. The governor of the oniony, Sir Alfred Jones, is direct ing affairs. Cp to this hour the foregoing is the most correct disjiatch regarding tho Kingston disaster that has Is-en receiv ed here. The absence nf details is ac counted for by the breakdown in cable communication, but. the announcement that no Englishmen, Canadians or Ameri'"arids are missing will greatly re assure the public concerning the fate of the unusual number of tourists and others who are spending the winter in Jamaica or who were attracted t here by the agricultural and cotton Conferences. REDUCbS SHED TO STOVEWOOD Residents ot Tacoma Are Even Cut ting Up Their Sidewalks. Tacoma, Jan. 10. "Coldest weather in ten years" is the official rejsirt on the cold snap in this section. Ther mometers in Tacoma registered less that H) almve zero, while lejxirts from Western Washington points jdace tho mercury as low as 2 altove. Water jjijs's throughout the city froze oespito precautions of householders. There ia much suffering from lack nf fuel. The less fortunate lsrrowed coal from neigh lxrs. As an instance of the extremity of the weather, a resident of E street, near Ninth, vainly endeavored to get fuel. The cold made him desrjerate, and tak ing a sharp axe he reduced his wood shed to stove-length fuel. He put in four hours choj'ping. Other rteople de molished fences and Imard walks in the vicinity of their residences. The High school has been closed, ow ing to cold and lack of fuel. Its reop ening is indefinite. The Northern Pa cific general offices are suffering from the lack of fuel, and little work is be ing done. The entire North End is without water. SNOW AN" FROST RULE, Railroads Blockaded bf Huge Drifts and Raging Blizzards, St. Paul, Jan. 1G. Cnusual cold weather prevails throughout the North west w ith no immediate relief in sight. Snow blocks the railroads and the tem perature has fallen many degrees. It is rep uted at the (ireat Northern gen eral nllice that the mercury registered 30 below zero this morning at I!rown- ing, Mont., and there is no jxiint lie tween (irand Forks and Sjxikane where the maximum temjxjrature is above 38 degrees below zero. Great Northern employes are battling against snow drifts which are 20 to 30 feet high. The greatest tie-up on the Great Northern line has occurred in the dis trict between P.rownimr and Cutbank, Mont., a distance of about 40 miles. In this district robiry plows are sent against the banks without result, and though jilows are kept going continual ly it is imjio.ssible to clear the tracks. The snowfall in the West is greater than has ever lieen known before. Be tween the Cascade and the Rocky mountains, where there is scarcely ever any snow, drifts are now piled seven feet high. The Great Northern line between Kenmare and Thief Iiiver Falls has been abandoned. Trains which connect with the Canadian Pa cific railroad trains at Moose Jaw have lieen delayed badly. On the lines where traffic is at all possible the trains are run with three and even four engines and jireeeded by rotary jdows, but even then have been delayed from one to three days.
