Buildings to the num ber of 326 collapsed. ' Communication with all parts of f the Republlo was interrupted. No ,' definite reports had been received of the extent of thi damage in the provinces of Matanzas, Pinar del Rio and Havana, over which the hurricane passed. ' Many Am ericans residing in Marlanao n."d other suburbs, forwarned of the approach of the storm, had aome Into Havana Tuesday night to es cape it. Many houses were wreck ed in Marlanao, where also is situ ated the Cuba race course.

The monument erected by Cuba fo;- the 266 Americans who were killed in. the explosion which sank the TJ. S. battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1893 was razed. Only the base and two ten-Inch guns, relics of the battleship remain. ' The heaviest damage occurred in the port of Havana, where two steamers, five schooners, forty flsh- ' lng vessels, numerous launches and two barges were sunk.

After the storm had passed out over the Gulf of Mexico the streets were littered with electric light and telephone wires, signs, , parts of roofs, sheet iron shutters, trees and balcony railings wrench ed loose by the wind. The intens ity of the storm was indicated by I the wrecking of the Belvin College wind gauge, when the - storm had reached a velocity of 96 miles an hour before It struck the city with full force.' ; . Troops and policemen patrolled C'the streets under order of Pres ' ident Machado to shoot any person caught looting. Havana Was Ready. ' The inundation in the lower parts of the city due to the high tide caused great damage and there was much need for temporary aid and shelter for the people. The water at times was several meters deep along the Malecon for three or four blocks south of the sea wail During the height of the storm thousands -of barrels of oil and gasoline were destroyed when the tanks caught fire. t . The people of Havana awaited the storm calmly, preparing for more than 12 hours for it to reach the city. AU windows and doors were braced or nailed up to protect them from the force of the wind. To v Wg was due the fact that little real damage was done to strongly , built houses. . Miami Little Hurt. MIAMI, Fla., Oc. 21.

' The improved tube may be the key to a scientific treasure house. The search for the keyhole is on. Dr. Coolldge, assistant director of the research laboratory of the General Electric company at Sche nectady, told of his invention and his struggles to discover its value when he was awarded the Howard N. Potts medal here last night The medal was given him for his work in Improving the roentgen X-ray. Experiments with the cathode ray, from the new tube, he said, showed that it contained as many beta rays, the most Important rays emanating from raium; as would be contained in a ton of that ma terial. There is in known existence in all the world only about one pound of radium and at: present prices a ton of It would cost ? 100, 000,000,000. .. . .

"The president holds over for two years more, when we will again elect all the members of the sen ate, and the president. . "The president has proven to be the best friend of Oregon and the west that ever occupied the White House. , "He is entitled to have a Repub lican senate to support his admin istration," "; , , , .

"Under such conditions," Adams said, "Mr. Haney would be utterly unable to render any material serv ice to Oregon if he was elected. His chief occupation would be to criticize the president upon every occasion possible, and become in general a pest to the president and the administration."

Early experiments lent color to the possibility that treatment by the new cure might be a cure for baldness, "but later research show ed results to which few bald head ed men would care to subject them selves. Dr. Coolldge explained that the ray from the new tube could never be used as a death ray against humans, as an implement of war. With a current of 360,000 volts, the- highest yet used in the tube, the ray's range is only two feet and the inventor believe that by using the highest voltage possible the range could only be extended to a few yards.
