At the same time the assertion Is relt-
Grated not to bulge from the position
which has been taken up, no matter
what the outcome may be. 1t is said
on good authority that the govern

unreasonable delay, and that in the

removed from that place, although 1t
is not expected that it will be neces'
sary to resort to such extremes.

HAVANA, Oct. 22-One Of the heav-
lest rain storms in years fell here last
night, as a continuation of the storm
Of the last three days. Every stream
in. the vicinity of this city overlooked,
Hooding its surroundings. The streets
of Havana presented the appearance Of
running rivers. 6 The water was over
four feet deep at many of the cross,
ings, swapping houses, stores and dam
aging furniture and other property.
The fire brigade was called out and
many sick and aged people were car
ried to places Of safety. Traffic was
delayed on every railroad running out
Of the city and the Vedado line was
blocked for three hours this morning.
The slaughter houses and paddocks
were entirely submerged. Many bulls
succeeded in escaping, and ram loose
through the streets of the city, adding
to the panic prevailing.
