Banana Plantations Ruined,
Villages Swept Away, Many
Lives Lost and Vessels
Wrecked.
Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 12, The
effect of the hurricano upon tho Island
of Jamaica was greater than at first
believed. The property loss Is esti
mated at $10,000,000.
Port Antonio, on tho north coast.
was completely overwhelmed. Only
six houses were left standing there.
The United Fruit Company's wharves,
offices, hotel nnd plantations were ut
terly demolished. Five of tho com
pany's steamers, Including tho Simon
Dunols, Alfred Dunols and Brighton,
wore driven ashore, but arc lying In
easy positions. Port Maria, nnothor
town on the north coast, also suffered
similarly. Tho coast Is strewn with
wreckage of local sailing vessels.
It Is feared that the loss of life has
been heavy, 30 fatalities having nl-'
ready been reported, principally
among seamen.
Villages Are Wiped Out.
Tho entire eastern end of the Island
has been entirely devastated. Vil
lages havo been wiped out, nnd publlo
buildings and churches destroyed.
Thousands of the peasantry wero ron
dcred homeless nnd destitute, and arc
wandering -about seoking food and
shelter,
The destruction of tho banana plan
tatlons has been complete, and the
fruit trade is paralyzed for tho next
12 months. Hundreds of prosperous
fruitgrowers have been brought tp
bankruptcy nnd ruin.
The western end of tho Island, which
It was at first supposed had escaped,
also suffered considerably. Now
bannna plantations planted there
wero partially destroyed, and tho or
ange and coffee crops wore also In

Renewal of the Storm Feared.
The Norwoglan steamer Salvatoro
dl Giorgy was driven nshoro at An
notta Day, and lies In a dnngorous po
sition. Several sailing vessels woro
wrecked on the north side. It Is still

fears that there may bo a ronownl of
the storm. Thousands of houses In
Kingston ware damaged, .the wharvoa
were batterd and sovoral coasting
vessels were sunk In tho harbor.
Trade is practically at a standstill.
The southeastern portion of tho
Island has beon practically denudod
of its crops, tho rivers aro flooding,
and many men wero carried out to sea
and drowned. Considering tho dam
age to prqperty during the hurricano,
the loss of life was comparatively
small, though the present ostlmato la
that the doath list will roach 60. Hun
dreds of persons wero Injured, and
there were numerous hairbreadth oe
capes.

At the Same Time Condemns

Example Set by His '
Class.
Ghautauqua, N. Y., Aug.. 13. D. M.
Parry, president of tho National As
sociation of Manufacturers, today
ninde an address beforo tho conferonco
6n'"Mob Spirit in America," in which
he again bitterly assailed organized la
bpft. Ho said In this country In past
years thero has beon mobs of differ
ent kinds, but tho most dangerous ot
all Is the mob ot organized labor. No
man can object to nny kind of associa
tion of labor, or other organizations,
for. lawful and bonellclont purposes,
but organized labor, as conducted to
day, stands convicted by Ita own lead
ers ns a lawless organization. It seeks
by physical force to ovorrldo individ
ual rights, Is continually railing
against tho laws, denouncing tho
courts nnd public officials, and ful
fills all the requirements of tho defini
tion of mobocracy. Unllko lynching
bees, It Is a vlgllanco comraltteo and
n standing mob, under fair dlsclpllno
by Its olllcers, and ready upon occa
sion to commit overt acts of outrage
am) destruction, wnlch are tho truo
outward manifestations ot mob spirit.
It declares, in effect, Its will is supe
rior to customs, traditions, govern
ment regulations, and oven tho consti
tution of tho country. It assorts tho
individual has no inherent rights that
caiuyn uo taken from him, and. there
fore, has a right to say no man shall
work, no Industry run without Its
consent. In Its attempt to compol
recognition of Its pretensions, organ
ized labor relies not on reason, but
upon coercion, Intimidation and the
bludgeon. In Its continual Impeach
moms against tho law. constant an
peals to tho baser passions, it Is doing
moro thnn nny other agency to Incul
cate mob spirit, Hnd oncourngo unfurl
Ing tho rod flag of annrchy. Aftet
quoting different uttornnces of labor
leaders, and criticizing, ho contlnued:
"Tho nntlon has lost millions of dol
lars by organized Idlonoss, nnd tho
worklngmon pay millions to agitators,
who give, them nothing but trouble- In
