GREAT STORM IN HONDURAS.
Banana Crop Destroyed-The Honduras
Railroad Out or Business.

MOBILE, Ala. Oct. o.-Cable messages
received here to-day from Puerto Cortez,
Honduras, give information Of disas-
trous storm followed by cloudburst which
visited the Puerto Cortez banana district
on Monday. Advices to banana importers
here were that the banana crop Is damaged
to such an extent that there is no posi-
biity Of obtaining fruit for months. Nu-
merous cablegrans were received during
the day and from them was CLEANED suf-
fcient TO place the estimate OF the loes at
very large figure. The Puerto Cortez
field is completely inundated and the Hon
duras Railroad, which runs from Puerto
Cortez to San Pedro, a distance Of fifty
miles, has been damaged to a greater ex-
tent than when a cloudburst occurred
there several months ago. Bridges have
been swept away, tracks washed UP. and
large quantities Of fruit in transit destroyed.
Several steamers Of the local fruit i'm
porters are at Puerto Cortez and advioes
from representatives there say that they
will be unable to secure cargoes. The
damage to the railroad. which Ia the means
OF reaching the interior plantations. is
such az to prohibit the running Of trains.
The tracks in places are under water many
feet deep.

The engine hauled three cars out and
drew them UP the incline to grade and went

which took much time and would only
bring out three cars.
The night was foggy and thick, 80 that
there was no draught through the tunnel

The claim was never made before the Can al

rule between a contractor and the State is
the same as between individuals. and that

naturally caused the contractor. The aues-

LONDON, Oct. 1O.-The new phase OF the
Mahchurian campaign that was foresbad-

SUN seems to have begun with the ahan-

tactics and a general advance against the
Japanese positions north of Liaoyang.
There is no official confirmation from
ent stories from several SOURCES concur
in stating that such an advance has com.
menced, and the issue Of Gen. Kuropstk in's
stirring address Is regarded as equivalent
to confederation.
The criticism most to be regarded here
views Gen. Kuropatkin's altered tactics as
likely to lead to a comparatively early
decision. The suggestion lie made that
Gen. Kuropatkin's advance was ordered
by st. Petersburg.
This idea is based partly on the Com

Port Arthur, and partly on the fact that
Immediately after the decision to send Q
