HAVANA IS HARD hit
Storm Does Much Damage In West
ern Portion Of Cuba.

Havana, Oct. 12.-The most serious
tornado since the big blow of Oct.
IL 1906, struck Cuba, causing extern
sive devastation through the whole
western portion of the island. In the
city OF Havana many minor buildings
were blown down or unroofed; al
most all the trees were uprooted, and
five persons were killed. one BY an
electric wire and the others by fall
ing buildings. About 25 persons were
injured.
The greatest damage done was in
the harbor, where 40 or 80 lighters,
launches and small tugs were either
sunk or blown ashore. At Casablanca
great anxiety was felt through the
day for the safety of the Ward liner
MORO Castle from New York and the
Platt line steamer Miami from Key
West. Both of these steamers, how
ever, arrived safely, having kept off
shore for hours, awaiting an abate.
ment Of the storm. The total dam
age in Havana and vicinity is esti-
mated at s1000,000.
Meager reports from the interior Of
the island indicate that the damage
TO the fruit crops was heavy.

IL was understood that Mr.. Knox

until he has received advices from
President Taft with whom he has

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf.

remedies. Deafness is caused by an

this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when II is entirely closed, Deaf
