but the decline is general and altho
some wind may strike this city no
storm of great severity is expected.

lighthouses were swept into the sea
and lost or the structures so badly
damaged that no lights can be shown

Mobile, Ala, Oct AT a. m. the
| slightly for the first time in So hours
and it is evident that no immediate
danger is at hand. Local forecaster
Ashenberger, however, declined to
grow too optimistic and warned all
| merchants wno applied to him for ad-
vice that it would be just as well if
they allowed the bulk of their goods
| to remain some time longer on the
upper floors. Nothing can be told
about this thing yet he said. The ba-
/ rometer may go down in hurry at
any time and then we may get another
storm. The great difficulty with the
weather bureau is now that we have
no comparative readings from outside
points. TeIegraphic facilities are gra-
| dually being restored and all of the
| railroads except the Louisville and
Nashville are running on schedule
| time.
The city streets nave been cleared
| of the debris and save for the batter
| ed condition Of so many buildings,
| Mobile is outwardly at least as good
as ever. Repairs ON buildings are
proceeding rapidly, especial attention
| being given to roofs in order to
avoid as far as possible repetition
of the damages by yesterdays rain.
Relief work for the stricken communi-
| ties down the bay is now systematized
and working admirably, food, clothing
| and bedding being furnished as rapid
| ly as possible and altho there is still
| much suffering it is not as acute as
at first. There is still need, however,
| for all supplies that can be sent in
| from Outside points.
| Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 2.-After a
| restless night Pensacolans awoke this
| morning to renew the work of rescue
| and rebuilding, and the latter is being
pushed vigorously with the assurance
| from all of the large firms of the city
| that their plants will be restored and
| on a more extensive scale. Realizing
| the condition of city Governor Ma
| poleon B. Broward, of Florida, today
wired the Mayor of Pensacola, Chas
H. Bliss, extending through him the
sympathy of the state to those in
| Pensacola, ever, the devastation and
| WIeCh Drought Dy tH0 hurricane ana
in his telegram, the governor stated
| that if the citizens desired that he
| would Immediately issue a proclama
| ton calling upon the people of the
state and the outside world for assis-
| tance. The offer has not been accept
ed, the city believing it can pull tnro
without assistance from the outside.
| The Chamber of Commerce and city
officials have jointly formed a relief
committee and have raised thousands
of dollars for the care of the worthy
and in addition citizens have donated
| food and clothing and the poor of the
l city are being well cared for under
| the circumstances.
| Probably at no time since the hurri-
i cane have the people been given such
/ fright as this morning when Official
news came from Washington of the
| appearance of another disturbance off
| Cuba near the point where the one
which wrought death and destruction
to Pensacola was first located. Spec
ial weather bulletins were posted ad-
/ the gulf but in this port there were
none to leave except a few steamers
| in the middle harbor, which are load
ing.
| The list of dead has not grown any
| this morning, no bodies being discov-
cred but there is a horrible stencil
arising from mile or more of debris
