LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO RECENT
SEVERE HURRICANE ALONG
THE GULF STATES.
Number Of Alabama Towns Are Wiped
Off the Map, No Houses Being Left
Standing to Shelter the Inhabitants.
Twenty-Five Deaths and immense
Damage to Property Reported From
Pensacola, Fla.

Pensacola, Fla.
Birmingham, Ala, Sept. cad
vices received from Mobile indicate
that earlier accounts of the great
storm and the havoc wrought were
not exaggerated. The complete death
list has not been made up because
many small towns along the coast
have not been heard from, but from
what is known It is believed that it
will range close to 100. Only four
houses are left standing at Alabama
Port, While Coden, another coast re-
sort. has been almost wiped out. Train
master Bowen of the Bay Shore rail
road, who has reached Mobile from a
trip along that line, said that if the
missing persons did not turn up the
number of deaths along the Bay
Shore road alone would reach fifty.
He said that fifteen dead bodies had
been recovered. Thomas Mcdonald,
who came in f.. n Coden, said that
that place was / t.. Z direct path of
the storm and was almost completely
destroyed. He said that help was
needed by the people along the shore
and a special train with provisions
has started from Mobile.
The worst suffering and desolation
Is said to be at Alabama Port, where
many persons lost all they possessed.
Every House in Town Wrecked.
Navy Cove, near Fort Morgan, was
wiped out by the storm. Pilot Frank
Midget, who has come in from that
place, says that every house in Navy
Cove was wrecked. Seven persons are
known to be dead at that place. Ad-
vices from along the eastern shore of
Mobile bay are that the entire shore
has been wrecked. The wharves at
Fairhope, Battle Point, Clear, NARROW
and other places were destroyed. Con
ductor David Rice of the Mobile and
Bay Shore railroad reports that a
large number of dead bodies had float
ed ashore from the direction of Dau-
phin island, which leads to the belief
that the settlement on that island has
been swept away. One boat from
Dauphin containing thirteen members
of a family is reported lost.
Reports from along the line of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad show
great destruction. At Bayou Sara
Bridge the driftwood was piled so high
that it formed a walkaway 1000 feet
two fishing boats and two other craft
were piled up in one wreck and a
t~hree-masted schooner was resting
easily across the railroad tracks.

sion to Disarm Insurgents,
Havana, Sept. Ex-Governor Taft
proceeded to the palace at noon to
take over the government of Cuba.
The act was not accompanied by any
formal ceremony.
The city is quiet and the only Amer
lean forces now ashore consist of the
detail of marines guarding the treas
ury.
During the morning Brigadier Gen
eral Funston conferred with MI. Taft
regarding the location of the camps
for the first division of the American
troops to be landed here. The sites
have not been selected. Funston will
command all the troops in Cuba, but
If they exceed the dimensions of a
brigade an officer of higher rank will
be sent here from the United States.
1t is practically certain, however, that
no such contingency will arise, as it
is apparent that the maintenance of
the provisional government will not
require a large number of troops.
Consul General Steinhart received
orders early in the day to telegraph to
the rebel commanders throughout the
Island informing them of Governor
Taft's proclamation and the establish
ment of the provisional government.
Political Prisoners Released.
General Joseph Miguel Gomez and
other conspiracy prisoners will be re-
leased from custody in order that, as
members of a committee representing
the insurgents, they may sign an
agreement with Governor Taft that
the rebels will lay down their arms
Immediately.
A commission headed by General
Funston will be appointed to superin-
tend the actual laying down of arms
On the part of the rebels. This com
mission will visit all the rebel camps
throughout the island and will be com
posed of Americans only in order to
avoid creating any bad feeling or com
pltcations. The commission also will
disarm the volunteer forces of the
government, leaving the Cuban forces
as they existed prior to the rebellion.
The commission will be accompanied
by a disbursing officer, who will pay
the expenses of the return home of the
rebels and thus avoid dissatisfaction.
Jose Miguel Gomez and others. rep
%resenting the insurgent forces in the
field, have written to Governor Taft
agreeing to lay down their arms at
once.
