STORM hit; JAMAICA HARO
Cable Communication Cut OF for Five
Days-Disaster Feared.

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 11.-Jamaica has
been cut off from the outside world
for nearly five days as the result of
a hurricane which began there Satur-
day night. Owing to the unusual in
terruption. 1t is feared here that great
damage has been done. Jamaica is In
no condition to stand another disaster.
Upon the crops, which were ripening,
depended in a considerable measure
the future financial standing Of the
island, which was swept by hurri-
cane four years ago and suffered a
serious earthquake and fire In 1907.
All efforts to restore the cable con-
nections of the direct West India COM
pany have failed. Tests made from
the Halifax Office indicated that the
cable was in good condition, but that
the land lines from Bull Bay. where
the cable lands, to Kingston, ten miles
away, were down. This interruption
so far has baffied all attempts to get
into permanent communication with
Kingston. Canadian capitalists are
largely interested In jamaican enter
prises.

REAL MYSTERY
BEING HIDDEN
PARIS FEELS SURE OF NINE.
STEINHEiL'S ACQUiTTAL.
is A MASS OF LIES

ceedings in the Trial Became Known,
Paris Became Sure Real Mystery is
Being Withheld by Judge.
Paris, Nov. 1.-THE state at 2
o'clock this afternoon rested its case
against Nine. Steinheil, accused of
the murder of her husband, Adolphe
Steinheil. and her step-mother Nine.
Japy, and the defense at once began
the examination of it's witnesses.
The popular opinion is that the pros
ecution has not made out a case
against the prisoner and that she will
be acquitted by the jury.
Paris. Nov. 1l.-When the trial of
Nine. Steinheil was resumed today,
twenty witnesses remained to be
heard.
When the progress of yesterday dur
ing which little real evidence against
the accused was developed, became
known to the public, the popular i'm
preston that the real mystery was be-.
ing buried under an extracable mass
of pervarication was strengthened.
Today the concensus of opinion in
Paris is that the court has failed to
develop any material evidence against
Nine. Steinhell and that the jury must
acquit her of the charge of having
murdered her husband and step
mother.
She Appears Exhausted.
The accused woman appeared quite
exhausted physically as she took her
place in the court room today. She
listened listlessly to the testimony of
an uncle and of an expert accountant
who had been called to testify as to
the probable amount of money in the
Steinheil home the night of the MUIR
ders. This has been disputed point,
the state allowing that the painters
family were in strained circumstances
and not likely to have in their house
sufficient cash to attract criminals
whose real motive was robbery.
Nine. Steinheil on last Friday swore
that $500 had been taken by the
murderers. Today her uncle and the
accountant testified that an examina-
ton of the books kept by the family
showed that there might been some
thing over $500 in the house on the
night of the tragedy.
Il am becoming angry. Don't ex-
asperate me any longer. am de-
Tending myself cautiously because, un.
fortunately, am obliged to; but II
you drive me to 1t, | will cease to be
discreet. Understand"
These words were Kissed out in an
undertone at Justice de Wales by the
defendant, giving glimpse of her
trump card.
