Washington, September 27.-Belated re-
ports to the weather bureau tonight from
Pensacola, Fla, announce that the Gulf
hurricane passed inland west of there,
the winds reaching So miles an hour at
Pensacola. The storm probably is CEN
tered tonight in south central Mississippi.
1t is believed to be decreasing in energy
and the weather bureau predicts that it
will move slowly northward during the
next twenty-four hours.
An increase in the energy of the storm,
however. is expected by the bureau when

through Tennessee. and Kentucky into the
Ohio valley.
Expected to Show Dmunition.
Prof Alfred J. Henry. forecast official
in charge of the weather bureau, tonight
explained that as the storm progresses
inland, IL may be expected to show a
gradual diminution of strength. The cut
ting off of communication with a num-
ber of points handicapped the weather
officials in determining the precise center
of the storm.
The belated Pensacola advices men,
toned were sent during the day, the
regular night report being missed. and
no night reports were received from
Mississippi, Louisiana or southwestern
Alabama The stations from which re-
ports are missing tonight are Pensacola.
Mobile, Vicksburg, New Orleans, Shreve-
port and Meridian.

less station at the navy yard here up to

of ascertaining the situation there, but
all attempts proved unsuccessful.
