HAVANA, Oct. ID, 1873
The reports concerning the recent hurricane
which passed over our city tend to show that OF al!
those which have been noted for number OF
years 1t was the one which presented the shortest
extension in the barometrc wave. indicating its
passage, and get 0ccasloned more damage
than others In which the fall OF the
mercury was greater and the barometric
wave longer The barometer fell to the minimum
OF 74641. Taking the figures which represent the
least atmospheric pressure, not in order OF their
dates, but OF intensity noted by the fall OF the
mercurial column, 1t will be seen that the hur.
ricane OF 1916 is almost the type of the tropical
hurricanes, in respect to the barometrc fan occa-
stoned by it, and the first OF Cuban hurricanes, OF
