New York, Oct. 19.--Havana and
southern Florida are still isolated so
far as wire communication is con.
cerned early today. Late reports from
the storm were that it had left the
south Florida coast and headed out to

Hudson Waters Driven Into Streets a
Foot Deep.
The northeaster, which has been
blowing here for two days, has driv-
en- the waters of the Hudson until
obey rolled over Thirteenth Avenue,
Yesterday, foot deep. II is said that
this is the highest tide in the Hudson
for thirty years. Coney Island had
one of the highest tides ever seen and
considerable damage was wrought.
Cable Communication to Cuba Intact.
The Western Union Telegraph Com.
pany announced that its cables to
Havana are intact and communication
S again restored with its Offices but
no details as to any storm damage
lave been received. Reports from
Florida indicate that the hurricane
was severe along the southeast coast
and severe damage there is appre-
hended.
Damages But No Lives Lost in Florida
A man who arrived this morning at
Fort Pierce, $50 miles north of Miami,
Florida, says that there has been great
lamage to buildings along the coast,
but that no loss of life was reported.
Hundreds Perished on Cuban Isle in
Cyclone.
A late dispatch says: The Even
ing Telegram prints dispatch from
Havana reporting that more than a
hundred persons are dead from the
cyclone nhere. The cruiser Rrooislyn,
was torn from her moorings and
thrown upon the shore.
Sixteen Foreign Residents Were
Killed.
Ninetyfour of the fatalities are con-
fined to natives while sixteen foreign
residents are reported killed. More
than thousand tents in camp Colum-
bia were blown to pieces and houses
nnroofed. One trooper was probably
fatally hurt. Fortunately the storm
gave everybody about half hours
warning and when the blast arrived
the marines on shore had sought
shelter in the warships. All but the
Brooklyn rode out the storm. These
ships included the Minneapolis, the
Texas the Denver and the Prairie.
Buildings Shaken as BY an Earth.
quake.
When the tempest reached its
height the buildings were shaken as
with an earthquake, street cars were
washed from the tracks, windows
blown in like paper, and roofs and
doors swept away. Several sma
frame houses in the poorer district
were wrecked and here the deaths oc
cured principally.
Loss Of Life in Interior Probably
Great.
1t is feared that a great loss of
life occurred in the interior, especial
ly Pinar Del Rio, on the Island Of
Artemesia. The wind is estimated to
have blown at the rate of eighty
miles an nour. The greatest money
loss will come from the damage to
shipping. The great waves engulfed
about thirty-five freighters in the
narbor and they were smashed against
the wharves.
