TERRIFIC GALE SWEEPS CUBA
Island Is Hit by Furious Storm
Havana Inundated and Thou
sands Made Homeless.

Havana.-The island of Cuba has
probably sustained the greatest ma
terial disaster in all her history in
the practically continuous cyclone
which began with light rains on
Thursday morning, developing into
torrential floods and devastating hur-
ricanes. The western half of the
island suffered more severely than the
east.
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, losing their homes and
the food crops, especially plantains
and corn. 1t now seems probable
that the republic may be compelled to
request international aid for the re-
lief of these sufferers whose condition
is most deplorable.
While all communication with the
interior has been cut off there is rea-
son to hope that Oriente,, Camaguey
and Santa Clara have escaped the
greatest fury of the storm.
In the city of Havana the losses
probably will exceed $1,OOO,O0O, main
ly due to the destruction of the Gus
toms house sheds, which were filled
with perishable goods, the sinking Of
scores of lighters, many of them con-
tanning valuable cargoes which had
been unloaded from steamers, and the
submerging of about one square mile
of the residential section of the city,
facing the sea.

earned at that, as Tinker, who scored
the run, was only enabled to make
single because Tho as had previously

n0lSlEST CT THE CAPITALS
Mrs. Rice of New York Thinks That
the City of London is Growing
Quieter.

An American lady who Ia al present
staying In London is making 1t her
life's work to reduce the amount of
noise in the world, especially in the
streets Of great cities.
Mrs. l. L. Rice is the wife of a well.
known American chess player. the
London Daily Mail says. She is Q
dark. ~vivacious lady of medium height.
Her manner, kindly I'D generous. 10
that OF the competent woman of af.
fairs. Mrs. Rice's attention was first
turned in the direction of noise abato.
ment by the constant %shrieking a
steamer whistles near her Riverside
home on the Hudson river. AS a 70
suit she founded in 1905 the present
New York Noise Abatement society.
Discussing London In comparison
with other great cities Of the world,
J Mrs. Rice, who has travelled widely,
said: THE order of noisiness in which
I place the worlds chief capitals 10
as follows: Paris, New York, London,
Berlin.
I'm Paris there are absolutely no
restrictions. on street noises. Every
cab-horse wears q bell: many havs
several. The coeners are apparently
always quarreling, and throughout
the night shrieks rage out from every
| cab rank.
In New York we have less transc
than you have in London, but our troll.
ley cars. which run on practically
every avenue. are much noisier than
anything here. London is a quieteP
city than II was when I was here q
few years ago. The worst feature OF
London streets is the un~restrained uss
OF motor horns. Then, too. the ex
tremely shrill whistles which are used
to summon cabs at hotels, restaurants
and the large stores are undesirable
features Of Londoa."
