Havana, Oct. 20.-A cyclone of UMPIRE
cedented severity, accompanied by a
terrific downpour of rain, swept over
the provinces of Havana and Pinar del
Rio Wednesday night and resulted in
20 deaths in this city and the serious
injury of. a dozen or more persons.
The damage lie estimated at fully $1,000,
600. The dead are all Cubans Of the
poorer class. .f...
The United States cruiser Brooklyn
dragged her anchor until her stern
grounded In the mud off LaRegla.
She got off Friday morning without in
Jury.
The storm caused great havoc and
confusion In the shipping in the har-
Dor. Many buildings were badly dam
aged and nearly all the trees in the
city and suburbs were uprooted.
The 1900 American soldiers and
marines at Camp Columbia were put to
reat inconvenience by the storm.
Nearly all the 400 tents In camp were
blown down, but there was little actual
damage. Harry Fosdick, an army
feamster with the Twenty-eighth In
fantry from Sioux City, Ia, sustained
probably fatal injuries. He was crush
ed by a tree which fell through the
barracks in which he was sleeping.
One hundred and fifty tobacco barns
IN the Alquizar district were destroyed.
All street car service in Havana
was paralyzed and communication with
outside points was impossible. The
asIegraphic service was annihilated.
The first train to come into the city
since the storm was the Santiago ex-
press which arrived Friday afternoon.
Passengers report that the devastation
does not reach far to the eastward.
The storm caused the greatest dam
age in the harbor. The Brooklyn
Grifted further than any other war
snip and finally brought up off La
Rsgla with her stern in the mud. She
got off Friday morning under her own
steam and has sustained no injury.
The cruiser Denver, the cruiser Mime
apolis, the battleship Texas, the aux
Hilary cruised Prairie and the supply
ship Celtic all dragged their anchors
more or less, but prompt seamanship
averted collisions. These ships were
all made fast to permantly anchored
buoys which never before were known
to have dragged. The damage sus-
tained by the squadron amounts to
little.

reported no signs of the fleet. The
fishing nets were found strewn upon
the shore.
Captain Bravo says that he anchored
on the lee side Of Elliott's Key, rs
miles south Of Miami, Thursday morn
ing and that soon afterward a tidal
wave engulfed the island. He says
there were $50 residents on the island,
all Of whom were lost. The st. Lucie
was crushed by the same wave and Of
the 100 passengers on board Is were
killed. Captain Bravo was seriously
injured.

drowned.
San Salvador, Oct. 2O.-A tempest
has ragged necessarily for ten days
throughout the republic, flooding the
rich valleys, principally that of Maja-
da, and resulting in great loss of life
and the destruction Of cattle and crops.
The Salyadorean man-of-war Izalco
was lost at Acajutla. The topography
Of various departments has been
changed, buildings have fallen, burying
their tenants in the ruins, and the iron
bridges over the principal rivers have
been carried away.
Up to Wednesday Is million tons Of
water had fallen. The aqueducts and
electric light plants at Sonsonate and
Salvador have suffered heavy losses.
Friday the storm was abating. The
railroads, telegraphs and commerce
are paralyzed, but traffic is being re-
stored In some towns of the republic.
The rivers are bringing down the
bodies of persons drowned in the storm
and the carcasses Of cattle, and the
sight of these tend to increase the
terror Of the people.
The losses are incalculable. The
government has issued orders that as
sistance be given victims of the storm.
Guatemala and Honduras also have
suffered severely. 1t is said the losses
there will amount to many millions Of
dollars.

EXPERTS COUNTING CASH

Now Being Made.

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 18.-Three ex-
pert accountants from the treasury
department at Washington, working
under a deputy United States treasur-
er, counting more than $2O,OOO,OOO in
the vaults Of the United States sub
treasury, have discovered a shortage
of $751;, 200.
John E. Wilkie, chief of the United
States secret service, is in the city.
but declares that his mission has no
connection with the examination. He
says he is here merely to attend the
bankers convention.
United States Subtreasurer Thomas
J.. Atkins admitted that the experts
are in St. Louis, but said that no
definite statement would be made by
him until the representatives from
Washington had finished their inves-
tigation.
"a man reputation" said Mr.. Atkins
'is worth more to him than the loss
Of $61 200 Is to the government. If
an error were made in checking money
from the vaults to one Of the cages,
recount of all the money on hand
would reveal the error and also the
presence of the full amount Of the
money which should be in the vaults.
THE present investigation will de-
termine whether the accounts balance.
Until then nothing can be said, and
It would be unjust to connect the
name Of any employee with the dis
crepancy at this time"
Washington, Oct. 1S.-The ofiicials
Of the treasury department have been
informed by T. J. Atkins, the assist
ant treasurer Of the United States at
St Louis, that there is a probable
shortage in the accounts Of his office
Of about S61, 800 and at his request his
accounts are now being checked by
the treasury experts. At his request
also, Chief Wilkie, Of the United
States secret service has been sent to
st. Louis with a view Of determining
who is responsible for the shortage II
II Is actually found to exist.
It Is understood that the assistant
treasurer, in checking up one Of the
cages In his once found the cash short
to the amount stated but on being
confronted with the figures the clerk
in charge insisted he knew nothing
Of the matter and that there must
have been an error In bookkeeping

Ion that were was an actual shortage

.NEssAGEs AND PAPERS
 OF THE CONFEDERACY."

The greatest interest has been man ifested in a new and most remarkable publication, compiled from the original offlciaI papers of the Confederate States which papers were captured at Rich mond at the close of the war, and are now in the archives of the Federal Gov ernment at Washington. This compila- ton, complete in two volumes, is the work of the Hon. James D. Richardson, late Representative from Tennessee The compilation is entitled Messages and Papers of the Confectionery" and embraces all of the annual, special and veto messages, proclamations and of ffcial papers of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States, and all of the interesting and import ant diplomatic correspondence between the Southern States and their comreds- sioners in foreign lands.
 This compilation, coming at time when all sectional bitterness engen- dered by the Civil War has subsided, and when the participants in the bloody conflict which arrayed brother against brother and filled the land with mourning, can together claim win pride the reunited country as their

 It may be too early yet to write without partisan coloring a correct and accurate history of the great war between the States. but 1t is not too early to present to the American peo- pie perfect compilation of the au- thentic sources of the history of those eventful times. Entertaining this de- sire, MT. Richardson 0 few years ago compiled, by authority of Congress. the Messages and Papers of the Presi- dents" which comprised the State pa- pers of all the Presidents from wash ingtoa to Mckinley. Later he con- ceived the idea of publishing another work as a companion piece to his first great effort.

Do not mistake Mars for the fixed star Aldebaran, which. owing to red color. resembles Mars, but may be known by the small or angular formation on the pleiades pointing towards 1t. It will be also interesting to notice the close approach, night after night. by Mars to the other two planets in question.
