GREAT LOSS OF LIFE & DAMAGE Havana, Monday. — A hurricane Which swept over Cuba on Thursday, doing much damage, returned last night with cyclonic force, and was still raging at n1)on to-day with increased fury. This morning the sea swept Some of the Customs House sfheds a distance of half a. mile, carrying off merchandise valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars while the wind tore off the roof of the main Customs warehouse, and the contents-were drenched. The warehouse contains the most valuable goods under the care of the Customs authori- ties. Casa BJanca, on of the harbour, Is flooded. The residents are taking refuge in the hills beyemd the town, and at Regla also, on the other side of the harbour. Numerous fatalities are reported. Communication with the interior is cut off. New York, Monday.—As a result of the great hurricane in Cuba scores of lighters and small craft have been wrecked against the bulkheads, and many sailors and longshoremen have been browned. The National Observatory reports that the disturbance is only at its beginning, and will last probably 20 hours.—Renter. A Thousand Dead and Injured. New York, Monday, later.—The Herald's Havana correspondent say& the sea level has been raised along the sea wall, covering the north border of the city, and flooding the Avenue del Golfo throughout its length. Sloops drawing four feet have been able to ascend a distance of nine blocks. The well-to- do are abandoning their homes. The Postmaster-General communicates to the Herald private advices received from Pinar del Rio. These are to the effect that the towns of Martinas, Guanal, Asrrifa, Punta, Carges, and Cortex have been destroyed by the hurricane, and that the greater part of Artemisa has shared the same fate. It is sup- Sosed that all the towns inj Pinar del Rio have kewise suffered severely. The Herald is of opinion that the dead and injured throughout the island may reach a thousand.—Renter. Wind Velocity 80 Miles. Tampa, Florida, Monday.—The West Indian hurricane this evening headed north-east from Havana, having Tampa and the towns near by almost directly in its path. The velocity of the wind here at five o'clock was thirty miles an hour, and was constantly increasing. Fears are entertained that many low-lying islands have been inundated, but it is hoped that the storm will pass south of Tampa, as indicated by its curvature earlier in the day. A wireless message received at five o'clock from Key West stated that the velocity of the Wind there was eighty miles an hour, while the barometer read 28.30.—Reuter.
