The inhabitants of both islands are
in need of clothing, water and provis-
ions. The relief boat distributed all
that it had; she took on a cargo of pro-
visions yesterday morning and proceed-
ed direct to Cheneri Nine hundred
dead bodies have been found floating
in the waters of Grand lake. At Hay
Caininda, a family of six were washed
to sea on a raft and washed back again
when the wind changed. The property
loss on both islands will be very heavy.
The loss of life at Cheneri Is not less
than 700, and may reach 1,000. Only
eighteen persons were killed on Grand
isle, though the destruction of property
there was great.
On Cheniere Caminda a climax of
horror was reached. Cheniere is one
of that group of islands which extend
along the lower coast, and to which
belong Grand isle, Tembalier and Lost
island. It was a station for fishing
boats. It contained one town —
Camindaville—of about 1,000 people,
the majority fishermen. On Sunday
evening there were 1,200 dwellings
within its limits; to-day twenty-five
only remain standing, and of these not
one is uninjured. The very ground
upon which they were built is torn and

a heap of oj'ster shells marks the spot
where it stood.

made an attempt on the life of Capt -Gen.
Martinez Campos by hurling two dyna-

accordance with the seuteuce of the
court martial before which he was tried.
During the past twenty-four hours

ed while singing an auarchist song.
He had refused to kneel when sentence
was pronounced, but he consented yes-
terday to sign a copy of his sentence,
at tlit same time exclaiming that it
was signing the death warrant of his
judges, feeling certain that his brother
anarchists would avenge his death by
killing those who had condemned him
to die. Priests throughout yesterday

As an evidence of the trickery of
the whole thing, it was given out at

priests, he was escorted by squad of

Paths have been obliterated and the re-
porter was obliged to scramble through
the bushes, mounting the accumulated
rubbish from ruined homes. Fields
had formerly existed in considerable
numbers along this portion of the
front, but they hart been blottert from
the face of the landscape. The plunts,
almost without exception, had been
blown from the beds, and those which
the gale had spared were dead and
yellow.
Fathers and mothers are burying
their sons and daughters and children
their dead parents. As many as ten
people are placed in one grave. Hun-
dreds of bodies arc still unburied.
Some are under the wrecked buildings,
others are floating on the bay of Ca-
minda. The brave little band of grave
diggers is exhausted. They have al-
ready buried in the rude graves on the
island U80 persons and their work is
not yet done. A ten-year-old son
helped to bury his aged father and his
elder sister in the same grave. There
was no weeping even for father or
brother. The gloom and horror of the
situation were too awful for tears.
In the house of Mr. L. Terrebonne
the grave diggers found his body and
that of his wife and six children. The
body of the husband and father was
lying on the kitchen floor. It was
buried about fifty yards from the
