The Cuba Cyclone.

The aggregate loss by the disastrous
cyclone which ravaged the Island of Cuba is
now estimated at many million of dollars.
The loss of life is variously stated at from
500 to 1 200. Havana presents the appear
ance of a city which has been terribly bonn
barded. The cyclone entered the city by way
ofSagua, and, taking westerly direction,
with q slight northe1ly inclination,
its center passed almost over Havana.
For fifteen hours it ragged with
desperate fury, and wreaked fearful havoc
On life and property throughout the island
1t demolished the principal buildings of the
large cities, and wiped out entire villages
situated near the starboard. The water
aooded large districts of fertile land richly
planted with sugar, tobacco, fruit and veg
stables, destroying the valuable machinery
of the plantations and irretrieyably running
the crops. Going out to sea the storm i'm
parted it's fury to the ocean,
when rose 60 a great height
and inundated the water fronts, breaking
down the Wharves and occasioning great loss
to shipping and commerce. The water over
came all obstacles and made it's way int the
storage and manufacturing houses near the
coast. Some buildings gave way under the
great pressure, and in alleases their contents
were seriously damaged In some instances
craft were carried half a mile into the cities,
whole blocks of houses and trees being bat
their passage through the streets.
The northern part of Havana
was converted into Venice and many streets
were submerged. Throughout the citymany
lives have been lost. Women and children
have suffered most. The poor people, who,
tor the greater part, lived in the low land
near the bay, have lost every thing. The
rich Vuetta Aunjo tobacco has been ruined,
and it is said 50 900, 600 cannot cover the
losses. Not q single house is left standing, at
Guanajavao. Many vessels were lost and
their crews drowned,
Walter Grantham, a salesman from Chiea-
go, and his two sisters were drowned at Cary,
III, by the capsizing of a boat from which
they were fishing in the Fox river.
