Worst Tropical
Storm of Year,

Tampa. Fla, Oct. 14.-The first seri-
Gus tropical storm of the year, after
sweeping Cuba last night and today
and doing minor damage to shipping
in West Indian waters, is tonight ap-
preaching the Florida gulf coast line.
with more or less promise of devasta-
ton to follow in its wake. All shipping
within radius of 500 miles of Key
West was warned by wireless this
morning Of the approaching hurricane
and tonight most of the vessels plying
these waters have cast anchor in har-
bOrS.
The center of the disturbance. which
is scheduled to sweep both the north
ern and southern shores of the gulf.
was reported about 40 miles west of
Havana at 6 o'clock tonight, moving
northwest at the rate of 60 miles an
hour, accompanied by heavy rain
and high seas.
At Key West a 50-mile gale was re-
ported throughout the day. A report
that steamer had gone aground just
outside the harbor was denied.
There was an increasing wind here
tonight and the barometer fell rapid
L
brisk wind falling barometer and high
tides.
At 10 o'clock tonight, observations
made by the local weather bureau in
dicate that the storm is following a
path that will carry it north or north
eastward Of the Gulf stream. This
will probably take it over the southern
portion of Florida.
Havana, Oct. 14.-The provinces of
Havana, Matanzas and Pinar' Del Rio
have been in the grip of the severest
storm of recent years since Thurs
day morning.
The wind was not comparable with
that in the hurricanes of 1906 and 1909,
its greatest velocity being 80 miles
an hour. The rainfall however, prob
ably was unprecedented and doubt
less has envolved great damage to
sugar cane and tobacco.
This is true especially as regards the
latter crop in the Vuelta Abajo. The fin
est tobacco in the world grows there and
the seed beds doubtless have been de-
stroyed, the season being too far ad-
vanced to permit of replanting.
The storm apparently had abated early
this afternoon. but toward evening it be-
gan again with renewed vigor. but with
some abatement in the rainfall.
Tonight the city is in almost total
darkness and all vehicle traffic is sus-
pended. At 7.3O o'clock this evening Be-
len observatory reported that the center
of the storm was passing off toward the
northwest and that the indications were
that the worst was over
Exit from and entrance to the port
have been closed since last night.
