Later-The Severest Tornado of the
Century -Four Vessels Totally
Wrecked
HAVANA, Oct. 16.-The effects of the
hurricane upon the Island are much worse
than at first supposed. The disasters at
Matanzas are confirmed. No particulars
have been received. Heavy weather
renders communication by sea between
Havana and MataDzss impossible. Carde-
mas also suffered much from the hurricane
of Friday. The lower part of the city
was laid waste. The interior of the Island
back of Cardenas and Matanzas is desc
late. The cane being somewhat back
ward this season sustsins less damage than
after the crop. The hurricane was the
severest which has visited this Island
within a century.
The following is a list of total wrecks
at Matanzas Brig Baxter, of. New
York; bark Hunt, of Portland; brig
Charles, of Portland; schooner Edwin,
of Bridgeport. The following vessels
were damaged: Schooner Palermo, of
Bath, and the bark Mary. There was a
great loss to cooperage and stock in the
warehouses on the low ground at Matan-
zas, which were all destroyed. The in
tiux of the sea caused great rise in the
rivers. When they receded everything
was swept away by the returning flood.
Key West Inundated,
KEY WEST, Fla, Oct. IA hurri-
cane from the northeast has been raging
