THE LOST PLuNeER LurIN.
Belief That Crew Of the Submarine
Have PeTlshed.

Bizerta, Tunis.-The officers en-
gagged in the salvage work of the
French submarine Lutin express the
certainty that the crew have persisted.
Members of the crew of the tug Ish-
mul, which conveyed the Lutin on her
last voyage, declared that the SUBJ
marine plunged twice successfully, and
that after she had gone down for the
third time, her bow showed twice
above the surface of the water before
she finally disappeared. This leads to
the belief that the catastrophe result
ed from a sudden leak at the STEM
The water probably rushed in very
rapidly and overturned the accumula-
tors. This would cause death-giving
fumes to eminate from the acids, and
the crew would have no chance for
life.

Cuban Capital Swept by Cyclone Of
Unusual Severity.

Havana-A cyclone of unprecedent-
ed severity, accompanied by terrific
dOwnpour OF rain, swept over the
provinces Of Havana and Pinar del
