WORSE THAN CYCLONE OF 1906 Millions of Dollars’ Worth of Property Destroyed—Waters Runs High in Gulf of Mexico and Tidal Peril is Great. Havana, Oct. 18—A cyclone has struck the island of Cuba and its ve- locity is appalling. Beyond doubt it is more serious than the hurricane of 1906, which cost many lives and dam- age to the amount of millions of dol- lars. The custom house warehouses are flooded and the roof of the main building has been blown away. The National observatory reports that the disturbance is only beginning and will | last probably 24 hours. A heavy loss of life and great prop- erty damage is reported. Wire com- munication with the interior is cut off and the situation outside this city is in doubt. The town of Batabano is eaid to be under water to a depth of many feet. A large number of lives have been lost there, according to re- ports. Scores of Boats Wrecked. The sugar cane crop is thought to have suffered severely. The gale came from the south-southwest, with ter- rible violence. Rain fell in torrents throughout the night, but it let up at daybreak, though the wind held as strong as ever. All traffic in this city and in the harbor was suspended. Scores of lighters and other small craft have been wrecked. All vessels | in the port are double anchored. The WHERE I$ WALTER WELLMAN? PREARRANGED CALL “Ww” NO ANSWER. GETS Dirigible Airship “America” Probably Far Out Over Atlantic. New York, Oct. 18.—Over the waste of the Atlantic, in a position which can only be broadly approximated as somewhere off the coast of New Eng- land or Nova Scotia, Walter Well man’s airship, America, is in all prob- ability persuing its lonely flight in the general direction of the northern steamship line whose Ultima Thule is the British isles. In the absence of any direct word from the air navigators, or of any Positive information whatever since Sunday noon as to their fate, the most reasonable conjecture in the minds of their friends and supporters is that they are stjjl pofnting toward their goal. It is the natural conten- tion that lack of definite news by no means detracts from the hopeful out- look and that the failure to receive a message implies merely that either no steamship has come within the America’s wireless radius or that she is conserving her electrical resources for a supreme struggle against ob stacles to come. Near Sable Island. As nearly as can be computed, the great balloon, if it has met no unto- ward accident, ought to be in the neighborhood of Sable island, with Cape Race 350 mfiles away, as the next and last stage in the voyage be. fore the final turn across the open seas. The widespread interest in the voy- age finds its most striking expression | in the tireless efforts of incoming steamers to get into wireless touch. All day a procession of liners ap- proaohing the western coast have sent out the pre-arranged call, “W,” but Republican nominee for state senator, 52rd legislative district of Minnesota. | no answering sound reached them. |! Comforting news was the assurance | that fair weather has ruled since Sun-| day along the north Atlantic steamer | | steamers are under steam. The Ward line steamer Saratoga, which was due to sail Saturday, remained storm- bound.

GRAND RAPIDS eT PTAC AVAVAVAVI TAL Aaa Te AR RARER ae a Battleship Maine Relics Lest. The sea before noon had swept the customs house sheds for a distance of a half mile and was carrying off mer- chandise valued at hundreds of thou- sands of dollars. The gale unroofed the main customs warehouse and other contents of the building were drench- ed. This building contains the most valuable goods in the harbor. The coal hoists of the Havana Coal Com- pany at Casa Blanca, aeross the har- bor and a mile from Morro Castle, have been wrecked. Casa Blanca 1s flooded and the resi- dents are taking refuge in the hills behind the town. A number of sailing eraft are dragging their anchors and are in imminent danger of being blown out to sea. The dredge which has been working alongside the wreck of the battleship Maine broke from her | moorings and has been carried out to sea. The dredge has on board the foremast, chains and other relics from the American warship. All communi- cations with outside points have been hepelessly severed. to Bee Tide Peril on Gulf Coast. Key West, Oct. 18—A gale of 45 miles an hour, accompanied by a fall- ing barometer and high tides, indi- cated that the West Indian hurricane which was loitering about the Gulf of Mexico has taken a sudden turn and is moving back in a northeasterly di- rection. High tides are reported all along the eastern gulf coast. Walker Menaced by Fire. Walker, Minn., Oct. 18—Walker has been fighting forest fires continually since Saturday night and the situa- tion became so tense that bells were rung and whistles were blown to get out the population to fight the flames. The fire was less than one mile from sewn. It was three-quarters of a mile (a width and was famned by the wind tn the direction of the milling district. The entire village was lighted by the Games, but the situation now is more tavorable and no disastrous effects are leoked for. route and that “moderate westerly ‘ wigds and fair skies” was the forecast | for some time to come. The most definite information on which the position of the airship might be more accurately determined came in a late opinion from the weather bu- reau that she may have been forced south of the desired route by the northwesterly winds which have blown since Sunday. This theory would also account for the peculiar absence of word by wire- less despite the wide range in lati- tude of westbound ships. World’s Record is Set. If Wellman is still in the air he has already won for himself a world’s rec- ord by outdoing all previous feats with dirigibles so far as time in the air is concerned. At 9:13 o’clock last night he equaled the mark of 37 hours of continuous fiight in a dirigible, which was set by Count Zeppelin and has not heretofore been approached by any others. No further word has been re- ceived from him since Saturday after- noon. F +" eae we Road Wins Land Suit. Washington, Oct. 18—The suit by the government to recover $2.50 an acre for about 4,000 acres of land in Kossuth, Palo Alto and Dickinson counties, Iowa, claimed to have been patented erroneously to the Milwau-/| Kee road, was decided by the supreme court of the United States in favor of the railroad. Presbyterian Battle Ended. Little Rock, Oct. 18—The state su- preme court finally settled the famous Presbyterian church union case by denying a re-hearing in the case, in- volving the question of legality of the union between the Presbyterian church, U. S. A., and the Cumberland Presbyterian church. The court holds the union legal and that all property in the state formerly held by the Cumber- land Presbyterian church reverts to the Presbyterian church, U. S. A. Property valued at $1,000,000 was in- volved. : C. A.
