HAVANA'S STORM.
Wind and Water Sweep Cuba With Re-
sistless Fury.
A Thousand Lives Go Out In Its Wake
Millions of Dollars Worth of Prop
erty Destroyed.

New York, Sept 17.-Letters from Ha-
vana give descriptions of the terrible storm
that swept over Cuba on the ith of Sep
tember, The losses foot up millions, and
the number of dead is variously stated at
from five hundred to twelve hundred. Inc
cyclone for fifteen hours ragged with des'
perate fury, and demolished the principal
buildings of the large cities and wiped OUT
whole towns situated near the seaboard'
The water flooded large districts of fertile
land richly planted with sugar, tobacco,
fruit and vegetables, destroying the
valuable machinery of the planta-
tions and irretrievably running the crops.
Going out to sea, the storm impaired lts
fury to the ocean, which rose to a great
height, and inundated the water fronts,
breaking down the wharves and OCCASION
ing great losses to shipping and commerce.
The water overcame all obstacles, ana
made its way into the storage and manu-
featuring houses near the coast some
buildings gave way under the great pres
sure and in all cases their contents were
| seriously damaged UlSalllic waves '"NP

being closely pent up within small har
Dor, acquired tremendous force, and de
stroyed every thing within their reach
The northern part of Havana was convert
ed into Venice, and many streets wer
submerged For some time people mad
use OF boats in their attempts to reac
their houses, but they were soon forced
desist, the violence of the storm rendern
it utterly impossible to keep up traffic
any kind. Many barges, containing val
liable cargoes, and a great number of SAL
ing vessels of every description lying
the harbor, were capsized.

space between the window bars and the
wall sufficient to admit of egress. Through
