NEw YORK, Aug. 2i.-A West Indian

Atlantic coast last night and this morn
ing, on its way to the New England coast,
left Its marks over tho whole region
around New York with sweep OF fully
loo miles. Rain fall measuring asa
inches during the last II hours, the hosvi-
est that has ever been recorded By the
local signal service. Many ships from tho
harbor, as we'll ~ steamships which arc
due to-day, are now cruising outside
waiting for the wind to subside. Through
the dragging Of the anchors OF escaping
ships in the bay aud North river moro
than 30 cables Of the Western Union Tele-
graph company were torn and are now
lying useless on the bottom Of the river.
The ravases Of the storm were
no less severe on land. Trees
were overturned in Central park
and many plants ruined. Many plate
glass windows in the vicinity of Madison
Square and along broadway were shat
tered by the violence Of the wind, whilo
shutters were torn from the houses
throughout the city. Wire connection
with Boston and New Haven 10 entirely
broken. Between Slamforl, Conn, and
Now York there are still n few wires left
this morning. OF the rs wires TO Wash

lively good order. AL the wires In Long

was most severely felt and reports OF
damage more or lcss serious are coming
In throughout the day. But here, - else
where, they are meagro on account OF the
prOstration of the wires Of the telegraph
and telephone. The streets at Elissbsth.
port, near the sound, are under water To
the depth of two and three feet. and the
people hoated about on RATS to get TO

ticulariy vague. Tho surf was high dur
ing the fury Of tho gale and the stories
from out at sen are yet to b told.
As the day woro on arriving craft
brought tho story of the storms work at

to the record OF its savages on land. The

with q crew OF eight, went down last night
OF Manasquan on the Jersey coast. and
all on board were lost. These two vessels
were In company with the Chocrus last
night when tho storm struck them. and

the worst weather ever known on the

Tue crew of the Chocrus say no small
: boat could possibly live in the sea that

use to the crews Of the two vessels. The
threo boats have beeu out only seven
