COMMUNICATION CUT OFF.
storm Caused Break In Cable To Cuban
 Island.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Cable communi- cation with Havana, wh&h was inter- rupted late last night. had not been restored at an early hour today. The break was undoubtedly caused by a severe storm which swept over Cuba and which was discovered by the Ha- vana operator just before communica- tion was lost, having reached cyclonic proportions.
 Press dispatches received early last night stated that the hurricane with rain prevailed in the Cuban capital and that the United States troops in Camp Columbia were much discom- moded.
 Later the Havana operator told Key West that the storm had increased in fury and that the storm was levelling the inland wires leading from the cable house Then followed an entire break in telegraphic communication snd upto o'clock this morning the wire con nections had not been restored. It Is more than likely that the storm has caused damage in Havana and its vii cinity.
 Key West this morning reported that . heavy rain and wind storm had reached the Florida coast. .5.: ..
