Despotism blamed for Soufriere relief misery in St Vincent
In Kingstown The Sentry condemns the Soufriere victims' misery caused by a despotic governor.

Many afflicted suffer from malaria and hunger while relief funds sit unused. a $123.09 remittance to England is criticized as inadequate and misplaced. A push to bring Parliament attention is urged. Also: Parker White released on bond in Savannah after federal grand jury process.
