The island of Cuba has probably
sustained the greatest materia! disas

continuous cyclone that has raged for
four days, resulting in torrential floods
and devastating hurricanes. The west

severely than the east. It is impossi
ble to estimate even roughly the
amount of the damage, which doubt
less will aggregate many millions of
dollars. In addition to the great de
struction of sugar and tobacco planta
tions many thousands of peasants in
the three western provinces have been
rendered homeless and destitute by
the loss of their homes and the food
crops.

DEATH LIST IS HEAVY
Estimated That More Than Two Hun­
dred Persons Perished and the Sur­
vivors Are Isolated by the Condition
of the Roads, Which in Places Are
Covered With Mud to the Depth of
Thirty Feet.
Naples, Oct. 26.—As the news slow
ly filters in from the districts ravaged
by Monday's storm, floods and sub
sidence of the surface of the earth,
due to volcanic action, the magnitude
of the disaster grows. It is admitted
by the authorities that the death list
exceeds 200 at Ischia and in the prov
inces of Salerno and Naples.
Thirty feet of mud covers many of
the roads in the provinces of Naples
and Salerno.
Soldiers have been started at the
work of rescue and relief, but their
progress must, necessarily be slow be
cause of the blocking of the toads.
Here in Naples many houses col
lapsed. This was due to subsidence
of the surface of the earth, due to the
recent volcanic eruption, and the in
habitants of the city are in a slate of
panic.
A telegram received from the may
or of Casamicciola says that the city
has been very badly damaged and that
help is urgently needed.
It is possible that the loss of life
there may be heavy, as there are ru
mors that the extinct volcano. Mount
Epomeo, is again active. The town,
which was destroyed by the volcano
in July, 18S3, bm rebuilt, by govern
ment aid, has been much resorted to
account of its baths and warm
springs. In the

No Foreigners There at Present.
Fortunately there were no tourists
there, the hotels having been emptied
following the cholera scare. An Amer
ican painter, Robert llale of St. I'aul,
who returned from there a few days
1 ago, said that only natives remained
in the city.
The entire slopes of Mount. Vesu
I vlus were swept by cloudbursts and
the thousands of tons of lava and
ashes accumulated along the crests of
the mountain since the last serious
eruption were swept down into the
adjacent valleys, leaving death and
desolation in their wake.
Floods are reported at Oetara.
AmalU, Salerno ami in other places.
The damage is estimated in the
millions, although no positive estimate
is possible for several days, and tlie
later reports may materially reduce
the figures.
Captains of vessels that were an
chored in the bay of Naples say there
must have been a submarine earth
quake, inasmuch as flieir craft, heaved
violently and in several instances
dragged their anchor chains. It was
about this- time that Vesuvius belched
mnrf and stones. This preceded the
cloudburst by less than an hour.
