New York, Nov. 13. Enormous

liurrlcane and storm visiting tho West
Indies Wednesday and Thursday, ac
cording to reports received here to
day. J It is feared that there will bo a
large death list when all details""havo
been received.
. Already some deathse and heavy
damages have been reported at Port
lie Paix and Gonives.
With telegraph and cable commu
nication disrupted it is impossible to
ascertain tho true situation.

of the gale and the property loss is

tion earth disturbances are reported
from Haytl
The storm which swept Jamaica
is now moving in the direction of tho
Bahamas and Bermuda.
No less than forty-eight inches of
rain fell at Kingston while tho storm
was in progress.
The property damage there Is es
timated at $500,000.
It Is feard that the heavy rainfall
has played havoc with tho banana
crop. If this proves to bo true It
will cause great suffering In Jamaica
this winter as tho natives largely de
pend on the money received for this
. crop t ocarry them through tho seas
J on. This will prove an unusually
hard bio wat this timo as the natives
have hardly recovered from the losses
they sustained in the arthquake of
1907, which laid Kingston in ruins
and destroyed 1,700 lives.
Railroads have been wrecked and
nil tralffic is at a standstill.
Many vessels wore driven ashore
during tho storm and It is feared that
a number of craft, unablo to weather
tho gale, went down.
