Great Destruction of Property, But No
Lives Reported Lost.
JACKSONVILLE (Fla.), Sept. 2S.-Com-
munication with Southern Florida is be-
ing restored. and special dispatches to the
Times Union, relating 10 the damage of
the West India cyclone, are said to tell
the same story of houses wrecked and
crops destroyed, but no loss of life is re-
ported.
At Tampa several large factories were
wrecked. The large three-story brick
factory of Seideuberg IL Co. was de-
stroyed. The factory of c.. a. Joyce was
demolished, as was also the factory of
4ober and Manarara and others. The
First Presbyterian Church and the Palace
Hotel were badly damaged. Several
smaller structures were also demolished.
The total loss of buildings at Tampa is
estimated at $4,000.
During the storm at Fernandina the
British steamship Boston City and Elm
vile collided, and were badly damaged.
The steamer Edith was driven ashore.
The steamer Debary was driven against
the draw bridge and wrecked. The
steam yacht Maud was sunk near Cres-
cent City.
To-day advIces from st. Augustine.
which has been cut OFT since Tuesday,
were received. No lives were lost but
several houses were wrecked and the loss
will run into the thousands. Nearly all
the windows in the city were blown out,
and the houses flooded with water. The
Ponce de Leon Hotel was damaged in
this way. The loss on the hotels furni-
ture is heavy. At st. Augustine the
waves dashed over the sea-wall and made
rivers of the streets. Many wharves were
blown away.
Between Green Cove Springs and Pa
latka, on the st. Johns, twelve wharves
have completely disappeared.
Between Jacksonville and st. Angus
tine not telegraph pole was left stand
ing. The damage to the orange crop is
great. In large groves the ground is
completely covered with green oranges,
The loss is fully 30 per cent. The east
coast is still cut Oft from communication
below st. Augustine and Palatka, though
communication may be restored tonight.
Every effort is being made to hear from
Jupiter and Key West, which towns are
supposed to have been in the storm
center.
The storm was as severe in the center
OF the State as on the coast. 1t struck
Tampa and travelled northeast to Jackson
Vile and ST. Augustine. At Orlando and
Ocala, interior points, several cells were
found after the storm passed.
1t is safe to say the storm has cost
Florida more than a million dollars, bat
no lives have been lost, unless at Key
West, Titusville. Jupiter, or other east
coast points.
