IDA AND is MOVING RAP.
IDLY NORTHWARD.

New York. Oct 19.-Cable communi-
cation with Havana, which was inter
.upted during the night, has not been
'estored. The break was undoubtedly
caused by O severe storm which swept
>ver Cuba and which was described
~ the Havana operator Just before
communication was lost as having
'eached cyclonic proportions.
Press dispatches received before
communication ceased stated that a
hurricane, with rain. prevailed in the
Cuban capital and that the United
States troops in Camp Columbia were
much disconnected. Later the Ha-
rama operator told Key West that the
storm had increased In fury and that
he storm was levelling the inland
wires leading from the cable hut Then
followed an entire break in telegraphic
communication, which still continues.
It Is more than likely that the storm
aas caused damage In Havana and It's
Yicinity.

WOULD PROHIBIT SUBMARINES.
More Dangerous to Their Own CrUws
Than to an Enemy.

Paris, Oct 19.--In spite of the fact
that 1t is announced from Bizerta that
the spot where the submarine boat
Lutin sank on Tuesday had been def
nitely ascertained hope of rescuing
her crew has been practically aban-
doned at the ministry of marine. In
deed, the prevailing impression there
Is that the crew was probably imme-
diately killed or rendered unconscious
by the accident, the cause of which,
however, Is still mystery, though
theories on the subject are numerous.
The ministry of marine Is coming
In for a lot of criticism owing to its
failure to properly equip the Bizerta
naval station with salving apparatus,
as 1t was proposed to do after the dis
aster to the submarine boat Farfadet,
which sank last summer off Bizerta.
Some of the newspapers express the
opinion that the repeated accidents to
submarine boats should lead to an in
ternational agreement to prohibit
their use, claiming that it is proven
that they are more dangerous to their
own crews than they are ever likely
to be to an enemy.

Govern and Young Corbett, two old.

considerable steam, and McGovern
Mad vigorous punch all the time, but
played somewhat cautiously, having a
wholesome respect for his former vic

At the opening of the second round
Corbett rushed and caught McGovern
with a terrific right that forced the
latter to take the count of nine.
When McGovern got to his feet he
rushed to a clinch and In doing SO
