As the body is nude except a silk

The body was found by q young

HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. TO-
Considerable anxiety is being felt
here for the safety of the island
of Jamaica.
No communication has been re-
ceived from Kingston since Sat
urday, when a fierce hurricane
was raging. 1t is probable that
land communication was inter-
rupted by the storm, but it is not
believed that 1t could wreck the
cable line, which connects King
ston with this city. 1t is feared
here that another earthquake has
visited the island.
The steamer Amanda, from
Halifax, went aground off the
west end of Jamaica last Friday.
The vessel was floated that night,
and must have encountered the
hurricane. Nothing has been
heard from it since.
The report from Cleveland that
the seismograph there registered a
terrific earthquake shock last
night is the cause of 'apprehen-
sion, though the figures at Cleve-
land indicate that the quake was
much farther away than Jamaica.
