Havana.-The most serious cyclone
since the big blow Of October II,
1906, struck Cuba early in the day,
causing extensive devastation through
the whole Western portion of the is
land. In the city of Havana many
minor buildings were blown down or
unroofed; almost all the trees were
uprooted and five persons were killed,
n by an electric wire and the 9TH
ers by falling buildings. About 25
persons were injured.
The greatest damage done was In
the harbor, where 40 or SO lighters,
launches and small tugs were either
sunk or blown ashore. At Casablanca
great anxiety was felt throughout the
day for the safety of the Ward liner
MORO Castle from New York, and the
Plant line steamer Miami from Key
West. Both of these steamers, how.
ever, arrived safely at $50 in the af-
ternoon, having kept off shore for
hours awaiting an abatement of the
storm.
The total damage in Havana and
vicinity is estimated at 81, ZOO, 900. The
greatest individual loss has been
by the destruction of half the

also wrote to DR.. Cook, asking him to
please tell her what kind of a house
Kris Kingle lived in. Her letter is rs
follows:
Dear DR.. Cook-Did you see Santa
Claus at the north pole? What kind
of a house did he live in? Yours truly.
JEANNE MCDONALD"
"See Santa Claus? Why, of course
I did. That's just why l went to the
north pole," the explorer said, after
reading the letter. II went there to
make sure that Santa Claus would not
be angry at some of our grownups and
big. bad boys who have made fun Of
him and said they did not believe In
him anyway.
II found him in a huge 10 palace,
and every room from top to bottom
was covered with toys and candy and
great, big packages of good will and
kindness for little boys and girls. And
there were special congratulations,
happiness and contents for fellowships
for the grownups.
"See Santa Claus? Yes, indeed, and
tell jeanne I will write her in person
telling her a lot more about what he
said about little people who believe In
him."
