points on the Gulf of Mexico and At
lantic coast from the West Indian hur-
ricane. which wrecked Key West Fla,
yesterday, and swept northeasterly
over Florida, has passed according to
the weather bureau today. The trop-
1cal storm. after passing over Key
West, crossed the Florida peninsula
ana went out to sea at Miami. The
disturbance is now continuing with I'M
abated force northeasterly along the
gulf stream and is heading toward the
Bermudas
Key West Wreck.
Key West, Oct. 12.-As result of
the hurricane. which struck the south
ern coast of Florida, Key West is
mass of wreckage and the damage to
property is estimated at $2,000,000
Chaos reigns on every hand and few
people remain in their homes, hun
dreds of which either have been totally
wrecked or damaged.
The wind had an estimated velocity
of 100 miles an hour.

fury of the hurricane and many mi

First National bank was blown off, the
postoffice damaged and government
coaling station damaged. Every tele-
phone and electric light pole on Duval
street, the principal thoroughfare of
the city, was blown down.
AS soon as the wind had subsidized
p1undering began. The city police
force was unable to cope with the
situation and the mayor decided to
take such stringent measures to sup
press the looting, his proclamation of
martial law resulting. Almost every
nationality is represented among the
city's population of more than 10000,
about one-half of whom are employed
in the cigar manufactures, sponge

KEY WEST JAILs FULL.
Looting Began When Storm Put Out
the City Lights.

city in the hands Of the military nil arg
authorities who were called on by the
mayor for assistance, efforts are be-
ing concentrated toward ascertaining
the damage wrought by the hurricane
which swept the gulf yesterday.
1t is estimated the damage to
property in the city and harbor will
reach 100000. No loss of life has
been reported in the city but it is
thought the death toll will be heavy
along the eastern coast of the
peninsula.
Many of the vessels which had
been swept from their moorings dur
ing the blow yesterday afternoon
managed to ride out the storm dur
ing the night and came back to their
piers this morning. but between so
and rs boats of all descriptions were
wrecked. 1t is feared a number of
lives were lost on these vessels
In the city whole blocks of struc-
lures were RACED, while the great to-
bacco factories and warehouses suf-
fered considerable damage. It will
probably be several weeks before they
will be able to resume operations.
The city Jail is filed to overlooking
with looters captured by the militia and
police during the night Thieves began
operations as soon as the fury of the
storm had abated, the wrecking of the
electric light plant having plunged the
city in darkness.
The mayor Immediately proclaimed
martial law. The Key West guards
were called out and patrolled the streets
during the night.
The United States government has
also been called on for assistance. Hun
dreds are homeless today and are be-
ing cared for in churches. schools and
other roomy structures which escaped
the fury of the storm. Rations are be-
ing distributed by the city authorities
and it is expected that during the
day help will arrive from the state.

can keep sorrow out of one home in
Kansas, and prevent one child from
going through life pitiable cripple,
Senator Curtis's criticisms of the
amount of my contingent fund will
not bother me very much.
My Promises.
Everybody knows that came into
the governors office with the prom
Use on my lips that I would enforce
the laws of this state and clean up
and clean out lot of joints and
things that the Kansas people have
no use for. 1 felt that a reasonable
contingent fund would be necessary
in order to make my promise to the
people good. 1 propose to make that
promise good if I spend every remain
ing cent of this fund despite the crit
icisms of Senator Curtis or any other
man who would obstruct the progress
of either moral or political reform in
this state.
Senator Curtis, up to the present
moment, has not shown or attempted
to show, where a single dollar of the
peoples money has been paid out I'M
der my administration without a fair
and honest return in value. If he
knows any unnecessary expenditures
for labor, material or any other pur-
pose it is his duty, as honorable
citizen of Kansas, to state specifically
the facts in the case, and give this
administration an opportunity to in
vestigate and correct such misman-
agement.
Curtis Can't Stop 1t.
mo, Mr.. Curtis, you can not stop
this tax controversy until you prove
some one statement you have made
against this administration, or else
make public retraction of your mis-
representations. This controversy is
not yours nor mine any longer. 1t is
the property of the state OF Kansas
now. They have greatly honored both
you and me and they have right to
know which one of us is trying to de-
ceive and betray them.''
