MUCH DAMAGE DONE IN CUBA.
Provinces OF Iiabana, Matanzas and
Pinar Del Rio Swept by Wind and
Rain.

Habana. Oct. 1.-THE provinces
of Habana Matanzas and Pinar Del
Rio have been in the grasp of the
severest storm of recent Years since
Thursday morning.
The wind was not comparable
with the cyclones Of 1906 and 1909,
its highest velocity being about so
miles an hour. The rainfall, how
ever, probably was unprecedented
and doubtless has involved great
damage to sugar cane and tobacco.
This is true especially as regards
the latter crop in the Veulta Abajo,
where grows the finest tobacco in
the world and where the seed beds
doubtless have been destroyed, the
season being now too far advanced
To permit of replanting.

damage and loss of life at Sasilda,
on the lower coast of the province
of Santa Clara. has not been con-
iirmed tonight.

STORM NORTHWARO BOUND,
FIRST TROPIC DISTURBANCE OF
YEAR APPROACHING COAST.
Occur in Path OF Notwithstanding
to Marines.

Tampa, Fla, Oct. 14-Rerurving
along a parabOlic path the West In
dian hurricane late tonight washed
north to northwest along the Florida
coast with probabilities that it will
leave the Atlantic coast somewhere
in the vicinity of Jacksonville or
Savannah. The disturbance has
made a most remarkable curvature
and, following II hours of intensity
along the western coast of Cuba,
swung still further westward before
sweeping back to the northwest.
and over the southern portion of
the Florida keys.
indications late tonight are that
the storm has been increasing in in
tesnity, wireless reports from vessels
in it's path reporting a velocity at
times OF 70 miles an hour. Late re-
ports by wireless from Key West are
that there has been no abatement in
the wind velocity, and that all ship
pms 10 Ilduc snug.
Only a slight disturbance is re-
corded here, the maximum wind
velocity being 27 miles per hour with
the barometer at it's lowest at
1880.
The storm has followed the usual
course of such disturbances originat-
ing in the West Indies, but has been
more pronounced in it's curvature.
Early today it appeared that the en-
tire gulf would be swept, but at 8
O'Clock tonight the wireless station
here reported that there has been a
perceptible decrease in wind velocity
and vessels spoken to were proceed
ing to their destination.
From the course that the storm is
now pursuing grave fears are enter
tanned here for a repetition Of the
disaster Of eight years ago when sew
eral hundred lives were lost along
the extension of the East Coast rail-
way between Mama and Knights
Key. The progress of the cyclone
has been such as to indicate that
some Of the keys on which construc-
tion work is now being done will be
directly in the path.

REPUBLICAN TO SPEAK.
\ SURE ENOUGH LILY-WHITE
PARTY TO BE FORMED.
Republican Politics I'm North and
South Carolina, and What Will be
the Outcome.

Columbia, Oct. 1.-THE announce
ment that Hon. John M. Morehead,
Republican congressman from the
Fifth North Carolina district and
chairman of the State Republican
executive committee, is to address
the Republican organization conven-
ton in South Carolina, is taken to
mean that Capt. John G.. Capers is IN
earnest in the matter of forming a
lily-white organization. Mr.. More
head is a successful politician and,
though young at the game, has made
the old bosses take a seat in the
gallery, as it were, and watch his
throned the Hon. e. Carl Duncan,
national committeeman, and it is
said Mr.. Morehead now has the dis
tribution of the pie. In his fight for
the chairmanship, however, Mr..
NJ orehead allied himself with ex-Sen-
ator Marion Butler, who is certainly
that the Republicans will lose two of
their three congressman in the Old
North State. The Hon. Charlie
Cowles of Wilkesboro is entrenched,
and his opponent could not dislodge
him with a crowbar.
When Mr.. Morehead speaks in CO.
'umbia he will doubtless inform the
public how he got there. Formerly
he was a Democrat His grandfath-
er was governor of North Carolina
and the Morehead name is synomy-
nous with honor and power. Two
years ago Mr.. Morehead and Mr.. ].
Elwood Cox Of High Point, a banker
and furniture manufacturer, agreed
to act as Moses for the Republican
party. Mr.. Cox never saw the prom
sled land, since he ran for governor.
but Mr.. Morehead defeated the Hon.
A. l.. Brooks, the Democratic nomi-
ness, in district which nominally
gives the Democrats a majority of
5000. There was some questions as
to the legitimacy of the methods en-
ployed by Mr.. Brooks, and the yot-
ers Of the district declined to give
him the benefit of the doubt-they
chose Mr.. Morehead.
Had not Mr.. Morehead allied him.
self with Marion Butler it is prob
able that the Republican party. long
handicapped by the acts of rascality
OF reconstruction days, would have
emerged victorious in quite a few
conflicts in the next several years,
but Butler is charged with having
tried to betray the State, and his
name is spoken in contempt in North
Carolina.
Mr.. Morehead secured Congress
man McKinlay of California, and
Vice president Sherman Of New York
to make speeches in North Carolina
but inasmuch as these gentlemen
nave been beaten to a standstill by
the insurgents Of their States. they
are too unwell to attend
Mr.. Morehead will be interesting
when he comes to Columbia. He is
not fluent speaker, but he has force,
good looks and a certain directness
that appeals. In civil life Mr.. More
