The Recon, cyclone a, Havana.


NEW YORK. Sept. 10. A letter to
the Tribune from Havana, dated September
5, gives the particulars Of the recent cy-
clone.
For fifteen hours 1t rAged and worked
fearful havoc to life and property through
out the Island, 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, truit
aud vegetables, destroying valuable ma
chinery of the plantations and running the
crops.
on the seaboard the heavy seas broke
down the wharves and occasioned great
losses 10 shipping and commerce and loss
OF life on board of vessels in the hArbor. In
some instances vessels were carried halt a
mile into the cities, whole blocks Of houses
and trees being battered down as the ves-
sells cut = passage through the streets
Havana presents novel ht Its streets
and public squares, piled high with the
ruins OF demolished buildings and debris of
every kind, give 1t the appearance of u
bombarded city. Many streets in the north
ern part Of Havana are submerged.
The number of lives lost throughout the
city and country Is variously estimated at
from 500 to l.eoo. The loss to crops, build
ings and shipping amounts to many "'l-
liohs.

A Reported Lynching.

For two day past rumors have been
circulated TO the effect that Frank Gillam,
until recently resident OF this city, and
oa- George Elliott had been Iynched in
Rcutt county near the Utah line. about five
days ago. The story as reported here has
the wild sensational features that such mat
tiers generally take on the frontier when
horses are the subject OF the stealing. The
rumor says that Mrs. Gillian accompanied
her husband and Eilio,t and was present
when the Iynching occurred. 1t Is through
n letter from her that 1t Is claimed the news
was conveyed to this city. Mr. H.R RBowies
and Mr.. Plumb missed horse, each, the
night Gillian lett Aspen and Mr.. Plumb
has sent man 10 Eoutt county "a see II
his horse Is among the herd that were cap
lufed from the men whom II Is alleged
were iynched. This band OF horses con.
slsted of eighteen animals, part Of which
We stolen from Piceance creek, and 1t is

tnred them and strung them up 20 the hand
lest pine tree that had . limb strong enoug h
TO serve as gallows. 1t is also reported
that the two men were buried near the spo,
where they were lynched.
From another, and what seems to be an
entirely different source, comes the same
account OF the affair coupled with the ALE.
cation that Mrs Gillian who has a baby
scarcely month old, made such desperate
nght to save her husbands life that she was
threatened with the rope also. The latter
rumor Is traced to n prominent cattleman
from the White river country who sojourned
over Sunday In ihis.city.-Aspcn Times.

Tn. r.n-u.ndie uo-.. Thieves.

TRINIDAD. Colo, Sept 2O.-Fresh in.
teiligence is to the effec, that bad gang OF
cattle thieves has been discovered in the
Panhandle, operating especially on the
range covered by the herds Of the Creswell
rAncn.
Cattle have been stolen and shipped.
not to Kansas Ciiy,where inspectors would
readily detect them as stolen. but to ST.
Joseph, Missouri, where no inspectors are
stationed.
How many cattle have been shipped aud
sold over the latest route Of the thieves is
not known. There are also thieves in the
Panhandle who steal smaller things than
cattle. Tie rock salt put OF, for the use Of
the herds is systematically stolen by such
se;ti,rs rs would rather get salt this way
than TO buy It.
As to the local courts, the cattle men
claim that these have so often favored the
offenders rs against the cattlemen that
the latter now seek redress in the federal
courts.

Hendersonville, N. c., has caused much
nneasiuess, as quite number of Charles
tonians have summer homes In that neigh
borhood. The city authorities were prompt
to establish = quarantine, which win be
rigidly enforced. twill probably be many
years before Hendersonville will again tr =
to follow Atlanta's example and invite vel.
low fever refugees 10 come in. A man who
returned from Hendersonville with his
family to-day said that some enthusiastic
fools who had been reading the Atlanta
Constitution OF how Altar Ia had opened
Its doors to the refugees, thought It would
be . good thing for Hendersonville to imi-
tate Atlanta. Tho idea was that about .
score OF Northern millionaires who had
settled In Florida would be induced to come
to Hendersonville and settle there and
spend their money in developing the place.
Instead Of that they find train load of
500 passengers, many Of them negroes and

dumped upon their hands aud ssddled up.
