SWEEPS FLORIDA PENINSULA
Storm Does Damage Estim ated at Nil
lions of Dollars.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 19.-What
undoubtedly will prove to be one of
the most destructive of storms swept
the entire Florida peninsula, doing
damage estimated at several million
dollars Forty thousand square miles
Of territory south of Jacksonville has
been without means of communication
with the outside world for more thar
tWenty-four hours The last reports
from this section, embracing all that
territory south of line from Tampa
to St Augustine, told of hurricane
winds, hourly increasing in intensity,
and rapidly falling barometers The
orange crop in that territory and the
vast trucking industry probably are
ruined.
That the property damage through
out the state will total several millions
and that there has been loss of life is
not doubted here.
The loss in this city is great Semi
panic conditions prevent definite infor
nation as to loss of life
The only means of communication
with the outside world is a single
telegraph wire to ST Augustine

SEVERE STORM SWEEPS CUBA
Island Suffers Greatest Property Loss
in Her History.


Havana, Oct. 18.-The Island of
Cuba has probably sustained the
greatest material disaster in all her
history in the practically continuous
cyclone which began with light rains
on Thursday morning, developing into
torrential foods and devastating hur-
ricanes and continuing until last even
ing. The western half of the island
suffered more severely than the east
The first cyclone, of which there
was some warning, had hardly abated
on Sunday night when suddenly the
wind, which up to then had been
southeast. changed to southwest, and
with renewed fury the cyclonic blasts
swept over MatanZa, Pinar del Rio and
Havana provinces, completing the de,
struction wrought by the first storm
1t is impossible to estimate even
roughly the amount of the damage.
which doubtless will aggregate many
millions of dollars In addition to the
great destruction to sugar and tobac
CO plantations, many thousands of
peasants in the three western prov.
inces have been rendered homeless
and destitute by the loss of their
homes and the food crops. especially
plantations of corn 1t now seems
probable that the republic may be com

Booker T. Washington, who arrived
in Copenhagen week before last, has
been received with open arms in the
Danish capital. A week ago Monday
he was given an audience by King
Frederick and, together with Maurice
Egan, the American minister, he was
invited to dinner at the royal palace
Queen Louise evinced a great deal OF
interest in the negro leader and told
him that she had followed his career
in America with a great deal of inter
est. Mr.. Washington delivered lee
ture on the negro problem before the
stuCe ats of tbs Copenhagen university
and there was a large and d1stln-
guished audience present, which, while
it did not altogether understand the
English language, expressed surprise
and admiration for the speakers ora
torical abilities. 1t was the first time
in the history of the university that
the faculty and student body had
listened to an address from colored
speaker. Mr.. Washington will also
visit Stockholm and Christiania.
Divers from Anholt have been busy
the last few weeks at KnOben, near
Anholt, trying to eXcavate a number
of old cannon which have been lying
at the bottom of the sea since the lat
ter part of the Sixteenth century. Thus
far they have succeeded in getting
hold of five cannon, which, it is be-
lieved, at one time belonged to
Swedish man-of-war. A number of
copper plates and number of copper
coins were also found in iron boxes
There were also some silver coins dat
ing back to 1882. The cannon and the
coins have been brought to Copenha-
gen, where they will be placed in the
national museum.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, which was organized in Copen-
hagen in 1885, when about fifteen
young men joined the society, cele-
brated it's twenty-fifth anniversary
Sept. 25. The Y M. c. A. of Copen-
hagen now has 1000 members and is
steadily increasing in point of mem
bership. The anniversary festivities
were held in Bethesda hall and were
conducted by Rev. Olfert Ricard. In
the evening there was reception at
the Odd Fellows palace, in which at
least $4,000 young men and women

Bjorn Bjornson, a son of the late
Bjornstjerne Bjornson, has come, ouS
strongly in favor of the so called Nor
wegian-Danish book language, but his
methods of defending his favorite lam
guage have been so harsh that his
many friends have been criticising
him severely of late. He is not meet
ing with a great deal of success in his
contentious, for the language reform
ers are making a headway that u1r
mistakably points to success Within
the next few years. It seems thaS
most people in Norway are in favor
of returning to the pure Norwegian
and some time ago Halfdan Koht, the
new professor of history at the uni
versity, made a great hit when h@
chose the pure Norwegian for his in
augural address. 1t is reported that
he put so much feeling in his delivery
that the audience almost forgot the
language that was used. At any rats
the pure Norwegian is gaining much
headway all over the country and its
champions believe that they already
have the intricate language problem
solved.
Former Consul General Herman
Gade, who has been at the head of the
Norwegian consulate in Chicago for a
number of years, has been succeeded
by Oscar H. Haugan, son of the
late Helge A. Haugan, who was for q
number of years the president of the
State bank of Chicago. Mr.. Haugan
is thirty-eight years old and grad
uate of Northwestern university at
Evansville, ILL.,, and has for some years
been connected with his fathers bank.
Captain Roald Amundsen, who was
on his way to the North polar ice re-
gions with the Fran, has informed a
friend in Christiania that he has
changed his mind and will start for
the South polar regions instead. This
has caused a great deal of surprise in
Christiania, as it was generally be-
lieved that he had started on a seven
year journey in the direction of the
North pole.
Bishop Bang, credited with being
Norway's greatest church leader, cebe-

CONGREGATION for Several Days.

Although the Rev. DR.. Albert c. Bum.
rector of 81. Matthew's Episcopal
Church, Brooklyn Manor, Queens Bor-
ough. has been suffering from two bro
ken ribs for more than a week, he kept
his injuries secret, SO that the MEM
bers of his congregation would not feel
anxiety over his condition.
4 week ago last Friday DR. Bum
tripped while going UP the front steps
of his church and fell heavily He struck
his side against one of the steps, and,
although he felt a sharpp pain for mo-
raent. he thought that he had only been
shaken up. The following Sunday he
preached at both services. On Monday
he had violent fit of coughing, accom-
panied by sharp pains in his side \
r,f7xsician found that two of the rector
ribs had been broken.
DR.. Bum was advised to go to bed
until his ribs had started to knit, but
he declined to give up his church work
even temporarily. So a plaster cast was
fitted about his body to project the in
iured ribs. and he went about his cieri-
cal duties as usual

MORE "MIDDIES" STRICKEN
Eight More Cases of Typhoid at
the Naval Academy.

Annapolis. Nov. Notwithstanding
the precautions that have been taken
to stamp it out, typhoid continues to in
crease among the midshpmen at the
Naval Academy. Eight additional cases
were taken from the midshipmen's sick
bay to the Naval Hospital yesterday and
to-day. making the total number of mid
shipmen who now suffer from the mall
ady twenty.
The cause of the outbreak remains a
mystery, and plans are now under way
for a governmental inspection of the
dairy from which an extra supply
of milk was recently obtained. The
theory has been advanced that the
trouble is due to the fact that the 3.OOO,-
600 gallon reservoir in which the drink
ing water is stored is completely covered
over, excluding both light and air from
this supply.
