LATE TELEGRÄMS.
The Cyclone in Jamaicà,. August 16.-Sixty fatalities occurred duz- ing the recent cyclone in Jamaica. The damage by the oyclone is estimated at £3,000,000.
August 17.-The King has sent a mes. sage of regret at the disastrous effect of the recent hurricane in Jamaica, and expressed warm sympathy with the victims.
The authorities in Jamaica have promptly initiated a relief fund.. There are thousands of persons threatened with starvation during the next few days, and outside holp is ur- gently required.
The Duke of Devonshire and the Colonies.
London, August 21.-Ata banquet to the Chamber of Commerce delegates at Montreal, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, quoting some of the remarks made by the Duke of Devonshire at the meeting of the Empire: League on the 20th July, said, If the Colonies, though prepared to give an equi- valeut for any concession Great Britain grants, must also surrender some of their political rights, let us go no further, for we have already come to the parting of the ways. It would be a most evil thing if any Colonies consented to surrender any of their Legislative independence, and Canada would not willingly consent, even for the maintenance of the Empire."
