Kingston, Nov. 22 ? A dost mot
ive tidal wave swept across the
Caribbean sea yesterday afternoon
and piled the huge waves upon the
southwestern coast of Jamaica for
a distance of fifty tulles. The list
of lives lost Is appalling. Hug*
waves rolled Into the harbor At
Kingston but as It Is well protect*!
by a natural breakwater but llttlt
damage was done to the city.
For mile* along the southern
coast nothing Is left of the hun
dreds of coast villages and fishing
stations. Shipping h.?s received en
ormous damage and the destruction
to property is incalculable. It is
one of the worst disasters that haa
ever happened in Ihe West IndiM.
The impulse of the wave was felt
along the coasts of Haiti, Cuba and
the lesser Antilles.

IUwaon, Nov. 12 ? Charlrjr Merrl-i
field, one of the owners of the VI
dette; Sid Harrington, pilot and
manager, and Hill Harrington, pur
ser, who mushed In from Indian,
say that Joseph \V. Movie, manager
of the Canadian-Klondike company.
Is deserving of much credit for mak
iug the fight which be did to get
the machinery from WhitehoiKe to
Dawson for his two mammoth new
dredges this fall. They say that,
having gotten the material where it
can be picked up and conveyed to
the site of construction, both dred
kcs will be ready for operation,
they understand, by spring, thus
meaning the expenditure of $1R0.
000 or so in the Klondike camp by
'he company this winter. Other
w ise It would not have been spent
here until another season. The
??arlier starting of the dredges also
means work for operating crews
and the swelling of the Yukon gold
output months ahead of what other
wise would have been the case.
Merrifield and the Harrington
l>oys and others who wore along the
river say that Hoyle Is the man
with the right kind of staff to
jump in and take the bull by the
horns when there is an emergency;
and that his splendid fight to get
the goods through Is a victory of
Importance not only for Hoyle but
also for the camp. The material on
the barge nt Indian is so near the
city it can be freighted here with
little additional expense over the
cost of hauling It from Dawson, for
(here will be no more loading and
unloading necessary than had the
dredge landed on the Dawson front.
The difference will be a few hours'
longer haul on the sleighs.
