First Reports from Miami.

Miami, Fla, Oct. 12.-The sky is
overcast with sulphurous yellow,
houses are being unroofed and limbs
blown from trees.
High winds reaching hurricane We
locity are prevailing here. Four inches
of rain has fallen since Sunday after
noon. Damage to shipping is certain.
The storm which has prevailed here
since Sunday afternoon increased In
intensity, tie rain coming down in
sheets, driven by strong winds from
the south. People are fortifying their
houses and vessels in the harbor
against the hurricane which Is ex-
pected to increase in intensity tonight.
All of the efforts of the officials Of
the Florida East Coast railroad here to
get into communication with the men
at work on the roads extension on the
keys of the extreme southern peninsula
have been in vain. Between $500 and
5000 workmen are employed on the
construction work in the lower keys,
where there is slight opportunity for
protection from the fury of the storm.
Gravest fears are entertained for the
safety of these men, the tension being
intensified by recollections of the hur-
ricane of 1906. when many men lost
their lives and great damage to prop
erty was done in that section.
1t Is said that the construction
camps are better fortified now, and 1t
is known that the engineers on the
work have been prepared for big
blow for a number Of days past.
