ANOTHER CYCLONE COMING.
Sweeping NOrthWaTd OFF the Eastern
Coast Of Florida.

Than During the August cyclone.
Storm Signals Hoisted Along the
Entire Southern Coast-The Weather
Bureaus Warning That the Storm
Will Equal That of Six Weeks Ago.
A hurricane equally as severe as that
which swept the Georgia and South Car
olina coasts on the night of Aug. q is
moving rapidly in this direction. 1t was
central off Titusville, Fla, last night and
at the present rate of progress the cen
ter will reach here late this afternoon.
The wind reached a velocity Of 90 miles
an hour at Titusville yerterday, eight
miles more than was recorded in the
August cyclone.
The storm signals have been ordered up
along the entire southern coast Weather
Observer Smyth notified the steamship
lines and the masters of all outgoing
vessels last night of the approach of the
hurricane and warned them not to leave
port. Incoming vessels yesterday report
ed the heaviest swell known ON Tybee
bar. The towboat companies got their
vessels in readiness last night
and the Atlantic Contracting Company
sent large forces of men to the
dredges at work down the river to get
them in shelter.
BEGINNING TO BE FELT.
While the storm center is not due UNI
til late this afternoon, the force of the
storm will be felt early in the day The
wind began blowing in gusts last night.
Observer SmyJh said at midnight that
by daylight this morning the storm will
begin to be felt with more or
less severity. The peculiar coincidence
is that the meteorological conditions over
the entire country are the same as those
which preceded the August hurricane,
with the exception that so far there has
been very little rain.
The first indications of the present
hurricane were noticed Sunday night
when it appeared to be developing south
east of Southern Florida. Monday night
the indications were more decided, and it
had moved further north. Tuesday
night the indications showed that
the storm was rapidly approaching the
coast, though still a considerable distance
at sea- and later it was reported in East
ern Cuba.
SWEEPING UP THE COAST.
1t passed Key West yesterday, and is
now moving rapidly up the coast. Jupi-
ter was cut off from Geographic commu-
nication last night, and no reports were
received by the weather bureau except
from Titusyille The velocity Of the
wind there at s o'clock was fifty-two
miles an hour.
The storm center may be yet 200 miles
at sea, but approaching the coast rapidly
AS soon as Observer Smyth noted the
conditions here he notified the bureau at
Washington, and the storm signals were
hoisted at all stations on the Georgia and
South Carolina and North Carolina coasts.
