Today's Telegraphic News
Cyclone at Havana.

New York, Oct. lS-Secretsry West
has reported that cyclone struck Ha-
vaDs las: night.
No details have been received, but
it is rumored that great damage was done
Cable communication with Cuba has
been interrupted. A message which
came through before the cable went out
stated that heavy rain storm, accompa-
MED by high wind, occurred in Havana
yesterday afternoon.
An unconfirmed rumor has it that
great damage has beer caused in Havana
among the Americans troops.
Miami, Fla, Oct. 18.-Cuba has been
swept py hurricane, and ii lie feared
that great damagc will be done along the
Atlantic coast as far north as South
Carolina. Weather bureau bulletins
have been issued from Washington Civ
ing notice of the storm and warning YES
sells that navigation will be dangerous
tor 4S hours.
Details of the devastation believed TO
have been wrought in Cuba cannot be
obtained.
Just before the cable went out last
night message from the operator stated
that hurricane was raging there aud
that many lives would undoubtedly be
lost. Great damage was reported even
then. Since then not q message has
come through.
Press dispatches early last night stated
that severe wind storm, accompanied
by heavy rains, was in progress. Later
messages all spoke of the increasing ad-
vance of the storm until later word that
veritable hurricane had struck the
island.
Among the severe sufferers were the
United States soldiers in camp at Camp
Columbia just outside of Havana. The
sdvices stated they bad been forced to
abandon their positions.
Before the cable was lost the Havana
operator announced that the land wires
to the interior were down in all direc-
lions. The breaking of communications
between Havana and the west is believed
to have been due TO the storm.
Warning of storm moving up the
Atlantic coast was given today from the
weather bureau. 1t is supposed to be
the same hurricane which caused the
damage III Cuba. The first bulletin, is
sued at 10 O'Clock, stated that tropical
disturbance of small diameter but great
intensity was raging of the southeast
coast OF Florida. Warning was given
that high winds could be expected for a
considerable distance off the shore.
Au hour later tie second bulletin, a
hurricane warning, was issued stating
that the storm extended from Miami TO
Charleston, &. c., and was moving north
east from the Florida channel, All
masters of vessels are warned that navi-
CATION will be dangerous.
Miami, Oct. 1S.-The Florida PENN
sula has been added to the storm zone
and apparently will suffer greatly. Com
munication with Key West was lost by
the telegraph companies shortly after 10
O'Clock. A gale has been blowing there
for some time before communication was
lost Rain fell freely during the night
and the wind at times attained a velocity
of 48 miles an hour.
Jacksonville is now the point further
South which is cut from wire cOnmuni'
cation. A fierce gale is blowing here aud
as the barometer is falling fears are en-
tertained that the storm may extend to

The Sunken Submarine.

Paris, Oct. 49, Hope Is today held
by out the ministry OF marine that some
of the men entombed in the submarine
Lutin, which went down off Bizerta,
Tunis, yesterday, may yet be rescued,
based upon an official report just receiv-
ed from Admiral Bellue, who is direct
ing the salvage operations.
This dispatch was dated 1915 O'Clock
at Bizerta and reads;
"Hsve at this instant, in dragging,
caught the hull of the Lutin at depth
of 1lS feet. Divers have ascertsined
that she is lying fiat on the bottom"
An attscbe from the ministry of ma
rine, in commenting on the dispatch
which has somewhat removed the pes
smism of yesterday, said:
'The fact that the Lutin is lying fiat
on the bottom and no mention is made
of her being damaged proves that hope
for the men inside still exists, since our
fears we're based on The belief of experts
that her hull would be unable to with
stand the pressure of the water at that
depth and that she would be crushed
like she'll"
More powerful wrecking vessels than
those first sent out have now reached
the spot where the Lutin is buried, and
it Ia belived they will be able to raise
her soon. Weather conditions today are
also more favorable for the wreckers.
Paris, Oct. Is "A later dispatch from
Bizerta contained the news that the
Lutin has turned on her side. This is
regarded as sn exceedingly bad indi-
cation as it indicated she has become
Wsterlogged.

THURSDAY EVENING. OCT. IS. 1906

Il
which colors all its figures to prove the
benefits OF the tariff tax, hiss been CON-
PEELED to acknowledge that 9 bad trade
situation exists between this country and
the South American republics. The re.
yisw of the commercial relations with
those countries shows that ships bring
products north to the United States and
then carry cargoes from hero to Euro
pesn nations and return with foreign
goods for South American countries.
This shows that while We buy coffee,
hides, wool. rubber, sugar and other oil
their products we require, they in re-
turn buy but little of US, but prefer to
deal with England ADD Germany for
manufactured goods. with which they
have reciprocal trade relations which
this country refuses to consider, under
the present high protection system. VI
course. it would never do for the bureau
OF statistics to admit that our refusal 70
reduce our tariff duties is the cause o.
lack of trade, 30 it assumes that by es'
t,blishing direct shipping lines to South
American ports our exports to those
countries would be materially increased
The promotion of this policy kills two
birds with one stone; it supports the
protective tariff aud the trusts. and secret
ly is working for subsidy to the steam
ship trust. 1t is the familiar argument
30 common with the pro;ectionists and
sbjp-subsidists and the subsidized organ
of the Protective Tariff League, which
many western states are repudiating
When the tariff is revised, so that the
monopoly the trusts and combines now
enjoy is overtbrown by competition, we
shall not only be able to sell to those
countries we are compelled to purchase
of, but will be able to compete with any
foreign nation in the markets OF the
world with such Of our goods as we can
produce cheaper than other countries
can. Our farmers and other producers
will then be able to buy 10 the cheapest
market and sell in the best market the
world affords. As it is now the cost oil
living has been 30 increased by the
trusts through the monopoly fostering
tariff. that We can neither sell our man
ufactures cheap at home, nor compete
abroad unless the trusts forego their
enormous profits to do so. But when IL
comes to selling our surplus agricultural
products, such as wheat. corn and cotton
they must be sold at the price in the
worlds market irrespective of what 1t
costs to raise them and that price likes
approximately the price for the whole
crop. And yet many farmers and Others
vote for congressman who support ship
subsidy and the tariff system which
plumbers them.

THE MOBILE REGISTER will says that
the element Of danger to peace Of every
southern community is the vasrsnt class,
composed for the most part of negroes.
Alta time when there is actual need OF
iaborers, it will be found that hundreds
of sble-bodied men are idling their days,
asleep in the homes that are paid for by
their wives or female associates, and
their nights 10 the groggeries. When
asked to work they reply; "No; don't
want to work" Being idle, their minds
become the workshop of the devil, and
hence come the burglsries, rebberies,
sffrsys, aud, worse, the assaults on women.
In Lynchburg the authorities during the
past week arrested large number OF
idle negroes and put them to work and
this has had q most wholesome effect
in that community. Under the new
Law in Virginia idlers and those who
have no visible means of support can
be declared Migrants and put to work
on the roads aud this law should be
rigidly enforced. TriAing men who can
work but who wont work should be
made to work. These are no times for
dlers.

SOaD Trust.

London, Oct. 1S-Cleaniness may be
next to godliness, but the soap manu-
facturers OF Great Britain and the United
States are preparing to make the people
who try to conform to this cardinal
virtue pay heavily for the privilege.
Recently a combination of several
English soapmakers was formed and this
has greatly a itated many of the news
papers. According TO the Graphic the
real purpose of combination is of far
greater scope than has been imagined.
This combination, it alleges, will be
followed soon by an alliance between the
English manufacturers and an American
soap trust. French, German and Bel
gian sospmskers will be invited to join
this combination
J. Piefpont Morgan is mentioned as
being 10 charge of the American end OF
the deal. American manufacturers, it is
said, have been amalgamated under his
management, Proctor and Gamble, of
Cincinnati, having been used as the
wedge.
Members of the new English combna-
ton deny trust is contemplated, saying
their organization is merely trade
understanding to economic production
and increase wages, and there will be no
increase 70 consumers. Despite this de-
NAL, however, one firm has given notice
to retailers that the increase in price OF
raw materials will necessitste reducing
the bar of soap formerly sold for three
penny bit from pound to fifteen ounces
10 weight.
The capitalization of the combine is
placed at $75, 900, 900.
