Incomplete Reports Show Great Loss of
Life and Property.
Trinidad, British West Indies, Sept.
ia steamer which has arrived here
from Barbados reports that fearful
havoc was caused there by a hurri-
cane on Saturday night. The destruc-
ton of property was immense.
1t is believed over $50 persons were
killed throughout the island, and num-
bers We're rendered homeless and desti-
tute.
The shipping suffered seriously. The
ship Loando, Il bark and two barken-
tines broke from their anchorages and
were driven to sea. They had not re-
turned when the steamer left Barba-
does Many local vessels were wrecked
or blown out to sea.
Bridgetown, the capital of the Island
of Barbados, is n scene of desolation
and ruin. Dem olished or root1ess houses
are to be seen on every side, and hard
ly tree Is standing. Particulars from
the country are still wanting.
London, Sept. 15.-The dispatches re-
ceived at the colonial office from the
British authorities in the West Indies
Indicate as 4 whole that the earlier
reports of the havoc wrought by the
hurricane were not exaggerated. They
show widespread devastation. Fully
450 persons have been killed in the var.
ious islands.
Owing to che break down of the tele.
graph and telephone systems the real
extent of the disaster is still unknown,
but financial aid is needed. People
are fioclling: into st. Vincent from all
the country around for shelter and food.
Everywhere it appears that all the
small buildings and many large ones
were destroyed, and there is no doubt
that the fatalities were numerous.
