EXTREME DEATH LIST
MSW ORLEANS, Oct. .Over
whelming deaths occurred yestorJay
as the result of a terriffic storm.
Not less than 1,200 persona have
lost their lives In a terrible cyclone
and hurricane which swept over Key
west, last night, according to a wire
less message received here this morn
ing from Tampa. ' p " '
The property loss at this time can
not be estimate to any degree of ac
curacy, but it is said that it will uot
be less than two millions. , , ,
The city of Key WeBt Ib reported lo
be almost a total wreck and a niasj
of twisted ruins. ' , ;
Large, substantial buildings hava
been torn down, twisted and. reduced
to - masses of kindling wood by ike
force of the storm. All wires leading
into the city have been destroyed end
any accurate information is hard to
get at this time. '
a suDseuuont message nasteen re

will be much greater than at first re

400 Men Perish in Body,
Four hundred men engaged in tht
construction of a railroad on the Flor
Ida Keys have been reported as be'ng
dead, having perished In a body. Be
sides these another camp further to
the North Is reported to have several
hundred Injured. -
Worst Is Feared.
There are three thousand men now
working on the railroad under con
struction in the Kyes and the wornt
is feared for their safety. Itls almost
imposlble to even think that they have
had any chance to escape with their
lives In any manner whatever, as the
fury of the storm hasleft a track ot ,
death and devastation In Its wake that
has never been : surpassed. Reliable
authority here Btates that the only
possible escape from the storm would
be the high embankment of the rail
way which extends down the east coast
among the Keys, but those who know
say that this would attord but yerylit
tle if any protection to , the - men as
such a storm would cause the waters
of the Keys to' rise to such a height
that the grade would be completely in
undated. '' ' -." '
Before the storm struck Key Weit
over one hundred ships was riding, at
anchor last eevnlng. This morning bin
a very few of the heaviest ; steamars
are left and the wreckage that Btrewu
the sboresln all directions teli their
fate. Some of the vessels it. is known
to have cut andrun for the open sea
when' the storm .was approaching and
some of these may have escaped. .
A wlrlesH message," ''from. ..a vessel

lXCREASIXC.
the city of Key W-st and the construc
tion camps on the East Coat Itallrcad
has caused great excitement in this
city. It will probably be several days
before the exact number of the dead
can be ascertained as the wires are
all down. The wireless Is placing th
number at a rough estimate at twelve
hundred and this has since been In
creased to two thousand.
From two different sources have
come the report that eight hundred
people perished in one body.
The inhabitants 'of Key West had
ample warning of the approach "of the
storm from the government and did
all that they could toward protect'n
themselves but the fury or the storm
was so great that all the effortJ that
they had made in that direction prov
ed of no avail. The gale started 8t
60 miles an hour and in a short time
had reach, the awful velocity of one
hundred miles per hour. Scores of the
large 'busings lathe ty were Utter
ly picked up bodily and hurled to ihe
ground again, leaving them a mass of
indistinguishable Wreckage. Pedes
trians attempting to flee to placei of
Imagined safety were picked up, hurl
ed high In the air and then dashed to
the earth again, mashing them beyond
identification. It was this freak of the
storm that caused most of the doath
Hat It Is now almost certain that at
least many hundreds and in all prob
ability, most of the three thousand men
working on the railroad In the Lower
Keya hava been blown to death- The
steamers that are dua to arrlvi and
that have not yet been heard from are
the Lampasas, Momus, . The Antilles.
