Kansas City Times. New Or'eane. Sept. 18.—Port Ar- thur, Sabine City aud Winnie have been practically destroyed by a hur- ricane which swept the sea at Sabine and passing over the lake demolish- ed Port Arthur. The number of dead and wounded is difficult to as- certein. The te!egraph wires have been down since Sunday night, but the meager reports received along the line of the Soutiera Pacific would indicate the lors of life has been great and the destruction to property limited only to the value of the buildings ia the towns which have beea wiped away. The hurri- cane which swept the Texas-Louisi- ana coast blew up about 6 o'clock, and resulted in a tidal wave which was equally as damagivg as the wind This was the second tropical cy- clone which had devastated this sec tion. On October 12, 1886, Sabine City, located at Sabine Pass, was literally swept from the faca of the earth by a terrific tropical cyclone, which resulted ia a tidal wave. The loss of life in the wave of 1886 was fully 250 persons, the low, flat lands lef the coast being entirely inun- dated Sabine City is located at Sabine Pass, where the government jetties cane swept away the echooners and sbips which were at anchor.

He said that in the wreck of the hotel several men were reported killed, two ladies had their shoulders. broken and several men bad their lega broken. A Norwegian bark, he said, had been lost with all her crew. The shore is strewn with wreckage end lumber. W. C. Wylie and some: companions in an oyster sloop were- rescued by the life saving crew. At Winnie the information was given out tbat all of the houses had been blown away except two, and tbirty- three people killed. Those of U. A. Guy and Mr. Updefrove were the only houses that stood the tempest. The party visited a small restaurant and fruit stand and found that it had collapsed and killed three men. Two dead men and five or six wounded were found in the round house.
