North Atlantic Squadron Of Province

the President Wireless Telegraph
Will Keep Him in Constant Touch
With Any Important Events.

Oyster Bay, L.. l., Sept. 2S.That
there is still feeling of hope In
the highest circles that order eventu-
ally will be restored in Cuba seems
apparent. Even in the face Of the
discouraging reports received by the
press yesterday OF the progress Of
the negotiations between Secretaries
Taft and Bacon and government and
insurgent leaders In the island re-
public preparations for the presi-
dents departure today for stay of
nearly 4s hours with the North At
lantic feet off Provincetown, Mass,
have been carried steadily forward.
Everything now seems to be in readi-
ness for the departure of the presi-
dent which is scheduled for before
noon. The yacht Mayfower, on
which he will make the journey from
Oyster Gay to Massachusetts coast
arrived here last night andis swing
ing at her anchorage awaiting the
hour Of departure. 1t has been sug-
gested that in the event of the con-
ditions at Havana assuming what
might be considered sFeally desperate
status, the presidential visit to the
fleet under rear Admiral Evans might
be abandoned or at least postponed.
1t was said at the executive offices
last night, however, that there did
not seem to be at this time at least,
any chance that a change Of plans
will be made. AS the Mayfower and
ships of Evans feet are equipped
with wireless telegraph outfits, the
Provincetown journey does not mean
that the president will be, even for
| a brief time, beyond reach Of his COM
missioners to Cuba should they desire
to consult him. Even during target
practice, the ships will be within
easy reach of the Newport wireless
station. Time probably will be lost
by using this method, however, as II

There was heavy rain and high
wind at Montgomery, Ala, during
the day, but no serious damage was
done. The gale was blowing at Bir-
mingham last night after day of
steady rain, and at Memphis, the rain
has been continuous for SO hours.
The damage to railroads is very
heavy. Reports to the Louisville and
Nashville road indicate that the
losses approximate $1,000,00O. The
tracks between Flematon, Ala, and
Pensacola, Fla, are obstructed in
many places and badly torn up by
falling trees. At Pensacola, the Louis
vile and Nashville grain elevator has
been destroyed and the entire track
age to Ascamba Bay is ruined. The
railroad wharf at Pensacola is re-
ported to be total loss and thirty
nine cars of coal of the company were
washed into the bay. The Louisville
and Nashville also suffered several
washouts near New Orleans and no
trains are being run over certain sec
tions ofthis trackage.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 28. Be-
lated reports to the weather bureau
last night from Pensacola, Fla, an
nounced that the gulf hurricane
passed inland west of there the winds
reaching 8S miles an hour at Pensa-
cola. The storm is probably centered
in south central Mississippi. 1t is
believed to be decreasing in energy

ing the next "a hours. An increase
in the energy of the storm, however,

disturbance reaches the lower lake
region. It's probable course during
the next "a hours will be northward

HURRICANE CAUSES
FLOOD in THE SOUTH
Lower Mississippi Points are Cut OF
From ALI Communication by
High Water

New Orleans, La, Sept. 2S.-All
efforts to penetrate even the edge of
the flood caused by the hurricane on
the Gulf of Mexico coast to the east.
and south of here has been fruitless
up to period almost "a hours after
the receipt Of the last message from
the exposed towns. Apprehension
was increased by the fact that these
places, beginning at Lake Catherine,
the scene Of the flooding Of the Louis
Vile & Nashville tracks and farther,
est point east reached thus far, are
much more exposed to the wind and
water than the larger gulf cities
which have harbors.
From Lake Catherine eastward,
these towns are Bay st. Louis, Pass
Christian, Mississippi City, Biloxi,
Ocean Springs, Pascagoula and Scran-
ton. These places face Mississippi
Sound across which the wind has a
long sweep Some of them extend
up to the brink OF the sound, which
is in places not more Inan six 10 ten
feet above the normal sea level. The
representatives of newspapers who
Wednesday afternoon left for various
points along the shore OF Mississippi
Sound in anticipation Of the storm,
have not been heard from. Al
though their papers have tried to
reach them by round about telegrams
northward into the middle of Mis-
sissippi and thence to the coast. no
Iintimation of the situation had been
received long after dark last night,
Not only was all rail and telegraphic
and telephone communication cut
lon with Mississip ippi Sound towns. but
there was no Immediate prospects Of
news by boat No craft Of any sort
had come up the Mississippi river
after dark. The wireless station al
the mouth Of the river was aban.
doned early in the storm, the last re.
port being that there was about eight
feet OF water over the door of ths
operators room. Despite the anxiety

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 2S.-The
worst sea storm and hurricane that
the gulf has seen since the village Of
Pensacola on San Rosa Island was
swept away one hundred and seven
years ago, began Wednesday night
and was still raging late yesterday
afternoon. 1t is reported that many
lives between the city and navy yard
have been lost, but as many rumors
of this character have been current
all day, the report does not obtain
credence. It is known, however, that
many OF those in that section are un-
der from five to ten feet of water
and many women have been taken
from second story windows and car
ried 70 safety in boats.
Estimated property damage is
$3,0O0,o0O. Every house in Pensa-
cola has suffered damage and, many
roofs are blown off. Telephone and
electric light wires are in one mass.
The water front is strewn with
wreckage for miles on either side of
the city and vessels are piled on the
wharves, or where wharves once were
in utter ruin. Big iron steamers and
many lighter sailing ships are lying
high and dry up in the city where
the tide has never before been known
to reach. Every wharf for miles
around has been swept away or is
damaged beyond repair. The electric
power was cut off at one o'clock yes
terday morning. There is no street
car traffic and communication with
the outside world is practically cut
on. The streets Of Pensacola are
strewn with timbers, tin roofing and
broken glass. This dispatch, with

COlOrs Women Should Wear,

Again, black, the standby of the average middle aged woman, is still more unkind, for 1t procIaims every fading hue and shows up eacl line and wrinkle with q ruthless hand and increases fourfold even the faint est tint of sallowness in the skin.

Dull black will be better than shiny materials and ;his, with navy blue, will be the yer" best choice for street wear, but it must not be forgotten that the former requires relief about the face
