 Condition.
L. & N. HEAVIEST SUFFERER

Pensacola. Fla, October 2.-The fifth day after the hurricane witnessed the begin ming of the work of reparation and all Pensacola joined in the work of rebuild ing what the storm had destroyed in one night. Notwithstanding the adverse weather conditions before the day had far advanced much progress had been made Tracks were cleared, timbers removed from wharves and the way cleared for the erection of new ones; vessels were f1oated from the beach, and preparations completed for floating others as soon as the wreckers arrived.
 Every large plant and manufacturing company has positively announced it's in tention of rebuilding at once and upon q much larger scale.
 City Is Fast Recovering.
 Pensacola is fast recovering from this latter terrible blow so soon following other calamities, She is caring for her home less and providing work for those who want employment and who have lost posi- tions on account of the hurricane. The tender of Governor Broward to issue q proclamation calling for aid for this stricken city has not been accepted, as it is believed every want can be supplied by funds raised in this city. The heaviest losers will be the government and the Louisville and Nashville railroad The im- mense and costly export docks of the rail- road have been damaged to a serious ex- tent and it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to restore them. The great coal chutes at Muscogee wharf with many loaded cars was completely destroyed, the cars being broken up and carried away by the waves.
 Turpentine Industry Suffers.
 The turpentine industry surrounding Pensacola has received hard blow. Many operators report that every boxed tree was blown down. Conservative estimates place the damage to the industry at from 10 to 20 per cent
 The wholesale fish industry Is completely paraIyzed and it will be a long time be- fore it can be resumed on It's former large scale. Hundreds of small fishermen who operated along the beaches with seines, are left destitute.
 No bodies were recovered today, al- though thousands of tons of debris were removed The list of known dead still stands at thirty-three.

RUMoRs UNFoUNDED. Careful Investigation Shows No Revo- lution Exists In Mexico.

Laredo, Tex, october 2-Rumors without the slightest foundation in fact have been circulated to the effect that band of revolutionists is in the neighborhood of Columbia, Mexico, and is approaching Neuvo Laredo.
 Senor Lomeli, Mexican consul here, stated to the Associated Press tonight that he had made personal investiga- tion of affairs in Nuevo Laredo, and had caused telegrams to be sent to Columbia. In both cities everything is quiet. and there is no indication of inn pending trouble.

ARKANSAS ENDS HER FIGHT ON PACKERS One Case Will Be Taken to the
 Supreme Court DECISION MAY BE FATAL If the State Law Is Sustained 1t Will Mean the Practical Confiscation
 of Packers Properties
 In Arkansas.
DECISION MAY BE FATAL

fbicapo October 2.-The state of Arkan- sas ended it's first attack on Chicago pack CTS today by making an agreement with attorneys representing Armour x Co., Swift & Co.,, Nelson, Morris & Co., ana the Cudahy Packing Co.,, in the suits brought by the state for vioiatons' oi the antitrust laws. Representatives or the local packers refused to appear before I.vle D. Taylor, appointed commissioner of the Arkansas court, and hence the at- torneys for the prosecution did the next hest thing-they went to see the packers. On their return they reported that the ease against the Hammond Packing O. was the only one that would be prosecuted at the present time. Judgment will be o,ven against that concern and then the cases will be submitted to the Arkansas court. which has yet to pass on the act.
 Rouers Outlines Situation.
 The case as 1t now stands is described in the following statement given out by Attorney General Rogers of Arkansas
 "The Arkansas antitrust act of 1905 pro- vides for taking testimony of officers ana agents of defendant foreign corporations under a commission, and that the state may strike the answer or other pleading of the defendant, if such defendant refuse to produce such witnesses and documents as called for by the state The packers take the position that the act in these pro- visions is unconstitutionaL
 .The Hammond packing Co. has refused to nroduce witnesses called for by the state. and l will move in the Pulaski cir cult court immediately on my return that the pleading be stricken out and for Judg- ment by default It is agreed by both par ties that a speedy hearing will be had. In the meantime cases against Armour, Swift Cudahy and Morris shall remain as they are"
 If the highest court of the state upholds the act in question Chicago packers may be fined in hundreds of different cases and forced to pay anything from s2ooooO to s3Oo0, 600. This probably would be practical conhscation of all their property in Arkansas
 It is the purpose of MT. Rogers to ask for a judgment of not more than $lO0cO against the aHmmand Packing Co.
 MT. Rogers started for home this even ing

BUSINESS ALMOST
 NORMAL IN MOBILE
Property Loss in inc City Re-
 duced to S1,000,000
FINE WORK BY RAILROADS
Amount of Work Done on the Louis vile and Nashville Is lncompre- hensbIe to Those Who Have
 Not Been on the Scene.

Mobile, October 2-Wlth telegraph wires working in sufficient numbers to carry all business, with all railroads in operation except the New Orleans division of the Louisville and Nashville. business conditions are almost normal again.
 Cotton brokers today received their first direct quotations since the storm. Deal CTS in perishable goods supplied their first orders, and the fish and oyster traf- fic which has been dead for week to- day commenced to show signs of life once more, and trade generally is all that anybody could expect.
 Telephone service is restored and street cars are running on all lines. The Inter. urban roads are still out of commis- sion, and are not likely to be in operation for some time.
 Passenger Trains Brought In.
 The Louisville and Nashville brought in three passenger trains from the north and late today sent out number of freight trains The work done In restor- ing this line has been really wonderful. It Is impossible to convey to anybody who did not see it, an adequate concep- tion of the condition of the track even as late as last Saturday. Some faint mo- tion. however, may be obtained from the fact that only two miles of track just north of here, lumbermen estimate that more than 5000 logs were piled across the rails Besides this there was also among the debris all sorts of articles from tin pans to two-masted schooners, and from dead chickens to live cows which had been washed clear across the Mobile river from where nobody knows. In addition to this the roadbed in many places was gone and in the section of the country which Is all swamp and bayou. roadbeds, like steel rails, must be import ed.
 Conditions Along Coast Improve.
 Conditions down the bay and along the coast are rapidly improving. and many sections are reporting now that their first estimate of damage were too large. In this city, for example. two days after the storm prominent insurance nen were positive in their assertions the loss would amount to between { .J000O0 and 8, 900 GOO. The same men now place the figure at s1,0O0,OOO. Proportional reduc- tions are made in reports from other places visited by the gale. The total loss of life has not been more than 100 but 1t Is not possible even now to give a correct aggregate.
 Mobile breathed much easier today when 1t was ascertained that the storm which caused so much anxiety yesterday would not arrive. Late tonight a heavy dark cloud which came down from the north caused mental distress to the timid who feared that the promised storm had finally arrived. It proved, however. to be nothing but sun shower.

THE RUSSIAN VIEW.

St. Petersburg, October 2.-Sev- eral newspapers have published edi- toral articles on the events at At lanta, Ga, comparing them with the anti-Jewish massacre in Rus sia. The Novo Vremya expresses the hope that the United States now will cease to attribute the Rus sian excesses to official provocation. instead of admitting that they are the result of national racial anil mostly.

Troops Are Expected to DispeTse

CABINET TALKS T OVER
President Roosevelt Has Considered the Possibility of Postponna His Trip to Panama
 This Fall.

Havana, October 1.-The attitude of tho authorities of the United States in Cuba regarding the possibilities of the present situation seemed fairly expressed this evening when Colonel Waller command ing the marines, remarked to the Asso- cated Press that an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure.
 This remark was called forth by prep arations that were going on at Camp Co., lumbia to transport 200 marines from the encampment westward tonight for the purpose of having them in adjacent towns when the first installment of General Guerra's disbanded men reach these places tomorrow.
 While no disorder Is anticipated when the revolutionists reach their homes, the provisional government and the military authorities consider the actual military oc- cupation of the Pinar del Rio region quite as essential as the occupation of other portions of the island.
 This battalion of marines, which Will be the first to occupy Pinar del Rio, there fore, was sent forward tonight by spe- eial train. One thousand of Guerra's fol- lowers will go to Pnar del Rio in special trains, while 1900 others will start to march to their homes

Funston Put In Charge.

Washington October 2.-Secretary Taft cabled to tine war department today re- questng that Brig. Gen. Frederick Fun ston be designated to command the American troops In Cuba and the military secretary immediately issued an order to that effect Formal orders were also is- sued to Brig. Gen. T. J. Wint. commander of the department of Missouri. who reach ed here late today and who is to be in charge of the embarkation of the expedl- ton from Newport News. The orders show that the first expedition to Cuba is to be known as the first expeditionary brigade. General Wint left tonight for Newport News.
 It is not expected he will go to Cuba. Gen. Thomas II. Barry assistant chief of staff. arrived here this evening from New York. He has Just returned from Europe where he went to witness the maneuvers of the German army.
 Root Goes Over Subject.
 Secretary Root has been interesting himself in the Cuban situation since his return to duty In the state department and in doing SO has been going over the diplomatic correspondence that took place between Washington and Havana before Secretary Taft was sent to Cuba by the President It Is quite likely that this correspondence will be made public in a short time in order to give the peo- pie of both the United States and Cuba clear ideas of what efforts this govern ment made to avoid intervention. No ln- formation has been received in Washing ton which indicates the length of time that the United States will occupy the island of Cuba, and none of the officials will venture . prediction on this subject. but the presumption is that 1t will be some time before a stable government can again be placed in power, and 1t is expected that in the meantime a civil governor will be appointed to administer the affairs of the island under the secre- tary of war
 Quartermaster General Humphrey has concluded the chartering of eleven vessels which will be used for transportation of animals from this country to Cuba.
 The Olivette. a troop transport now at Key West, was chartered today. She will proceed to Tampa and probably will carry the officers and men of the light battery from Fort Sheridan.
