a short time on Monday afternoon. but
was lost again. and there has been no
word from that point since. Whether
this indicates a new disturbance Of some
is very high.
It was reported here tonight that
Porto Rico and some of the other West
Indian islands besides Jamaica had been
cat off. whHh would seem 10 indicate
that perhaps another earthquake had oc-

Santiago de Cuba. Nov. 1O.-No details
OF the damage done by the storm which
has swept over the island of Jamaica
have reached here. While cable COM
munication between Santiago and Hol-
land Bay. Jamaica. has not been inter-
rupted. the latter place is not in touch
with Kingston because the government
telegraph lines are down II is believed
that Kingston and vicinity suffered more
than any other part of the island. but
the extent of the damage cannot be
ascertained. The heavy rains caused
serious floods. and the rivers are badly
swollen. Several bridges are reported 10
have been washed away.
Some violent undersea disturbance, pos
sibly an earthquake. is believed TO be
sponsible for the interruption Of cable
communication with the West Indies for
the last few days. Officials Of the Com
mercial Cable Company say that a hur-
ricsne would not be likely 10 affect seri-
ously the underwater lines Of cable.

ARRANGING DETAILS
FOR BIG EXPOSITION
Exhibitors Have Already Applied for
Room Exhausting AL Avail
able Space,


The Inland Empire exposition, which
will take the place Of the State fair this
year, will probably be one of the largest
expositions of its kind ever attempted by
any western state The year has been a
prosperous one with Utah farmers and re-
quests for space from agricultuTists alone
would tax the capacity of every build
ing on the grounds. Practically every
manufacturer who had an exhibit last
year has asked for double space, and with
the many new manufacturers now in the
field. the manufactures building will be
crowded TO its capacity.
The mining interests have taken hold
of the affair and plans have just been
completed for a great mountain. which
will contain the complete workings of a
mine as true to detail as possible. Ar
engagements will be made for visitors to
enter the mine and see the machinery in
operation. The details will be carried out
exactly the same as real mine and the
Mountain of Ore" viii doubtless prove
to be a big novelty.
The big livestock parade will be made
a feature and an entire afternoon will
be given over to IT. The governor and his
staff and other prominent people will &C
cupy seats in the grand stand. Horse
races will be held afternoon and night
The night races will be especially inter
esting as an immense seaTchlight will
follow the ponies around the track, keep
ing them in sight all the time. The track
will be brilliantly lighted.
The big spectacle of the exposition will
be the Battle of the Plains" X. L. Ber-
nard of the Pains Fireworks company
who is now in the city, is preparing the
program for this feature and from the
details already decided upon, it is evil
dent that the display will be something
very much out Of the ordinary.
