DISASTROUS GALE RAGING Heavy Lon of Life and Property -- The Storm Reversed, Fears That Cyclone Did Damage in Cayman Islands, Later Details Show the Storm to be More Serious, • (A. P. Cable to the Times.) Havana, Oct, 17. -The cyclone that returned late yesterday continued through the night and raged this forenoon with increased fury. The gale was stronger than at any time since Thursday morning. A heavy loss of life and great property dam- age is reported. HIGH TIDES, Key West, Fla,, Oct. 17.-A gale of 45 Milesan hour, accompanied by falling barometer aud high tides this morning, indicated that the West In- dian hurricane, larhieh yesterday was loitering about the Gulf of Mexico, has taken it sudden turn and is mov- ing back in it northeasterly direction. High, tides are reported all along the east gulf coast. 80 MILES AN HOUR. Kingston, Jamaica, Oct. 17. -Fears are entertamea here that Cayman Is- lands have devastated by the storm which passed over the West Indies during the„last sixty hours. The steamer Prinz Eitel Friederich which arrived here yesterday reported that for 24 holm after leaving Havana, the wind blew at the rate of 80 miles an hour. The storm came from the northeast and xnust have swept over the Caymans which have suffered greatly in previous cyclones. GETTING. WORSE. Havana, Oct. 1r. -10.30%.m. -The cy- clone that struck the island yesterday is increasing. Its velocity is appalling. Beyond doubt it is far more serials than the hurricane Of HIM which cost many lives and damage to the amount of millions dollars. The customs warehouses are flooded and the roof of the main building has been blown away. The National Observatory; reports that the disturbance is ouly beginning and will bat probably for 24 hews. Wire communication with the interior IS cut off and the situation outside this city is iv doubt. . The town of Bietabona in this pro- vince is said to be nany feet under wa- ter. A large number of lives have been lost there, according to reports. A report from Regla, across the har- bor, says that many persons have been killed there. It is rumored that a great number of sailors and longshoremen have been drownetl in the harbor. It is probable that most of the fatal- ities and the greatest monetary damage has occurred in Pinar del Rio' where the destruction of Thursday andFriday has been added to greatly since last night, it is believed. The sugar crop is thought to have suffered severely from the shifting course of the wind, which has the effect of twisting the stalks. The gale calm to -day from the south- southwest, with a violence not experienc- ed before in it long time. Rain fell in torrents throughout the night, but let up somewhat at daybreak, although the wind held as strong as ever. All traffic in thls eity and in the har- bor was suspended to -day. Scores of lighters and other small craft had been swamped or wretked against the bulk- heads. The sea, before noon had swept the custom houses for a, distance of half it mile, and carried off Merchandise valued at manYhundred thousands of dollars. It is impossible to observe definitely what was occurring in the harbor owing to the high waves and flying spume; which obscures the -view like a fo'g. It is certain, however, that it number of sailing craft are dragging their atiehors and are in imminent danger of being blown out to sea,. STORM WARNING.'

Third Imperial Conference and Fes- tival of Empire at Crystal Palace. London, Oct. 17. -Next yenr should be known as the great Empire year in the history of Britain and her overseas Dominions. Three events of firsaiate importance will cause the children of the Empire to gather in She Motherland. They are: The Coronation of King George V. The third Imperial Conference. The Festival of Empire at the Crystal Wave. Granted it fine summer and freedoju. from home troubles or foreign complica- tions, London' the meeting place o"f the world, shouldenjoy the brightest and busieet of seasons. In every respect London is better equipped for the pag- eantry of it great State function, and the entertainment of foreigners, and bome-comers than she was when the coronation of King Edward VII, brought the world to her doors, Heals, reseaurants, opera houses, theatres, music -halls, exhibitions, means of eoliveYance, have all multiplied in a wonderful manner during the past de- cade. Its streets are wider; its private and public buildings are finer. Return- ing travellers declare that its people are better mannered, better dressed, and more courteous. London, M short, is be- coming the ideal host city of the world. Bat, it may be asked, can London find house and hotel room for the peo. ple who are coining in such umbers? Hotel experts believe that the unherald- ed. traveller, the hapless individual who is compelled to find boat -room and houee-room at a momenst's notice, is like 1y to be incommoded by the great rush to England next year. For those who announce their intention of visiting Lon- don beforehand ample accommodation by sea and land ean.ebe provided. The Strand, Piccadilly, Kensington and Bloomsbury testify to the great increase in hotel accommodation during the last ten years. In the neighborhood of the British Museum the change from the old boarding house to the modern hotel has been very markea. There is probably uo -city in which the excursion- ist and traveller i offered it wider choice of accommodation. If there is any scarcity of hotel -room next year it will be probably be at the top of the scale. The millionaire who hopes to find a room at one of the great hotels may find himself eompen led to Ridge in humbler style; but the home -comer from the Dominions can ar- range beforehand to be comfortably and not expensively housed 1» many quart- ers of London now rendered aceessible by tube and motor, where formerly on account og. their instance from the ceotre he would not care to go. The thousands of taxicabs 110W plying on the streets must certainly be reckoned among the advantages which the London of 1011 offers; to the visitor, Entertainments in 1911 on at large scale will be found at the extreme ends of London, in the southeast at the Crys- tal Palace and in the northwest at the White City. While the Palace is to be the home of the Festival of Empire, with its 20,000 performers, to which the patronage of the King has given official status, Mr. Imre Kirally is preparing an Empire Exhibition at Shepherd's The annual exhibitions and showe, front the Temple Flower to the Hone Show, will take their eolor and a good deal of their profit from the presence in England of so many visitors from the Dominions and tho United States. Special features of an imperial character are promised. So many and iinpertant will be the functionof next year that many over- see visitors will find it necessary to remain in London for the entire season. The demand for famished houses has already began. Again, ne hi Xing Ed- ward's Coronation year, 'tome of tlie finest houses in London will be lent, by their owners to the Crown for the entertainment of foreign Princes. SHOT SQUIRRELS.

Wireless Message Says Machine Working Satisfactorily, Pimprpire••••,1"1.1 Dirigible Flies From Paris to London in Less Than $ix Hours. Atlantic City, N. ,T., Oct. 10. -Walter Wellman, who is making aeronautical history with Lis dirigible ballooe, America, bid adieu to the Atlautic coast this afternoon and is now well on Itis way in the path of steamers head- ing for Europe speeding at the rate of twenty miles an hour, The information was conveyed to Mrs, Wellmati and her two daughters ta-day through a wireless message which was ticked out by the United Wireless station at 12,40, "All is well; maellinery working without a flaw; hope to complete the Journey," were the words which when they were read. to Mrs. Wellman brought a flush of pleasure to her coun- tenance aod again she told of her con- fidence that the America Would win the record of first crossing the 2,000 mike Which divided Newfoundland from the coast of England. The message relieved the tension which tad, grown hourly from the receiving of the flash from the Seotland lightship that the big balloon with its six. passengers was sighted scud- Idianidg!ust above the water headed north- vTo-day's report came from a wire- less station at Siaaconset, Mass., and was relayed to the Sagapopaek station and then to this city. Speculation as to the distance the America had travelled at noon resulted in the conclusion that Wellman had plunged into the regular line followed by the trans-Atlantic steamers. The power of the wireless on the America is not believed to be strong enough to to keep in touch with land stations in the future. Further news, Mrs, Wellinan thinks, will come from steamers who will relay it from the airship ashore. The Siaaconset Station operator stated that the balloon had not been sighted. "Mr. Wellman told me of his plans," said Mrs. Wellman this evening. "I have full confidence in him and his engineers and navigating officers are certain that the America will reach the other side. "The news so far received fully meets my expectations and the feet that Mr. Wellman, after following the coast, now is turning away from it is assurance that the mechanism is work- ing satisfactorily and that nothing was overlooked in the preparations." • MOVING 0. K., SAYS MESSAGE. The mos, message received from the America -since early last evening was timed at it a. no to -day, and reached here at noon from Nantueket Light. The message waa brief, and merely said that all were well and the balloon was moving "0. K." According to the wireleee operator here, the operate,: at Nantucket , believed that he had matte out the America by slid of glessee, and that she wae then swinging a little more to the north, apparently making for tae Grata Banks of Newfoundland, where the, steamers cross. Before the America, passed outside the wireless zone ehore stations every effort 'wee made by Wellintin's backerto this eity to assure 'Well- man, araminutn and the crew of the well wishes of •Atlantic City, and to give them every possible bit of encour- aging information. While every effort wise tootle to have these messages reach tVellman it is not known here whether the Remixes w.ete received aboara the Anterieit. WORD FROM STEAMIER EXPECTED. The anxious seekers after "lleWS from the America learnedto-night f rem maritime ieporto • that the steamer Meatba, bound front 0. European port for New York, shoula run into the America's zone Some time to -night. The • fact that the big dirigible hid only travelled about 200 milee in '24 hours is taken to mean that Exper• Vaniman is saving his gasoline and engines for it finel duet through any storm that fluty came op, Federal officials at Wailangton in- tereeted in the flight of the America have asked every wireless szetion and eldp equipped with wireleatt to notify. Wellman and. his men that the hurri- mine reported off the Florida Keys has blown itself out, and will not in any way enaan,ger the air vessel. - CIRCLED ST. PAUL'S, Asford, Tonbridge and Seven Oaks passed in rapid euccessiou. Then quit- ting the railway, the airship was fleaded direct for London. As soon as tbe Thames was sighted. its course was fol- lowed. It was not long before the air- ship was over the metropolis, where famillar.beildings could be easily recog- nized In the bright suoshiue. After cir- cling St. Paul's, the airship was steered west over Hyde Park to Wormwood Serublos, Here there was it great, open green space where the most noticeable features were a great airship sbea and it vast crowd, with upturned faces, The crowd cheerea enthusiastically and flue sound rapidly increased in volume as the airship slanted gracefully towards the earth and landed. Boston, Oet, 17. -Walter Wellman's airship America has not communicated with the shore as far as known up to 8 a.m. to -day, sioce sending his last re- assuring message at 12,45 p.m: yester- day. Following the trans-Atlantic steamer Lane, the great dirigible balloon would pass about three or four bundred miles from the New England shore heading for Sable Island, N. S. It was expected at the wireless station there would be no communieation with the America, to- day. NO NEWS OF THE BALLOON, New York, Oct. 17. -Wireless ate - tions along the•coaat up to 0.30 eau. to. day had not heard from Walter Well' man's dirigible balloon America in its attempted flight across the Atlantic. Shortly after noon yesterday the bal- loon passed out of wireless touch with the Marconi station at Siasconset, and since then no word has come from the air navigators, who, in the absence of other information, is assumed to be con- tinuing his northwar4 flight on the At. lantie steamer Lane, with the Britieh Isles as his destination. With no word from the airship, its location is entirely conjectural and sub- ject to the fluctuation of wind, in direc- tion and velocity and the workings of the motors. In the first 24 hours, from 8 aan. Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday, the aircraft covered the 300 miles between Atlantic City and Nantuelset. At the same rate of progress and on the same course, it would be 150 miles south of Sable Island at 8 aan. to -day and -would pass that way point of Nova Scotia about 8 p.m. to -night. The next and final land peint, Cape Race, on the eastermost point of New- foundland, is 350 mitre beyond Sable Island, and, at the same progress would be passed to -morrow ilighte. After that ls the strettei of 2,000 miles of open ocean. Such it courae, however, is dependent on liana, weather. and the mechanieal equipment of the airship, To -day' weather foreeast sliewed the winde moderate and variable, and the prevailing direction nortlealy, whicb would give retarding head 'wind rather than the favorable westerly winds which pi evened at the outset.

French and Dutch Airmen Flying From Paris to Brussels, ANNEXATION HELPS COREANS Were Formerly Slaves of Nobles and of the Upper Classes Who Lived Luxuriously and Ground the People Down. Seoul, Corea, Oct. 17. -The Careen ap- parently have Accepted annexation by Japan with complacency. The new order has been greeted by the Coreans not with opposition, but with relief. The reason is not far to seek. Corea had reached the top crest of misgov- ernment, Ten millions of peasants awl poor were practically the slaves of lese, than half a million nobles or people of the upper class, The latter lived,luxuri- ously, spending money with it lavish hand and caring nothing for their coun- try or the people, except as payers of the taxes, Until the entry of Prince Ito as resident governor and the suzer- ainty of Japan, there was no relief ior these serfs. But three years of the prac- tical application of real government gave to the mass of Coreans a taste for free- dom which comes from government pro- perly directed and seemingly they are Satisfied that the future holds out much more for them than the past. Since the annexation order went into effect there have been few disturbances, At 11() time have the so-called insurgents been able to gather together more than 150 of their number for a demonstration. On several occasions small bands, num- bering from 10 to 50 have shown some opposition to the governing authorities though no protest of a general nature has been made in any part of the coun- try. Lieut. Glen. Viscount Terauchi, Presi- dent General of Corea, accompanied by his' suite, left here yesterday for Tokio. Conditions throughout the country are reported to be normal. Before his depar- ture, the Resident General, in an inter- view, gale assurances that every for- eign interest would be amply protected. Missionaries and others in a position to judge, state that the condition of the Careens ie vastly improved. The consuls are inclined to be eriticai, poet- sibly because they have not been con- sulted by Gen. Terauchi. Up to the pre- sent they have not been officially in- formed by the government concerning certhin changes. Conseauently there has been some confusion apd uncertainty as to how they should act evjlere many of their countrymen are concerned. Forty-six Coreans have been created peers by the Japanese Government, Four refused to Accept the honor, and one is reported to have committed suicide be - 'cause a peerage was offered to him. 4 • A BOILING LAKE Volcano Sending Smoke and Ashes Mile and Half in Air.

Huge Boulders Flying h the Air and Lava Running Down Sides. Seward, Alaska, Oct. 17. -The fa- mous Bogoslov volcano in the Aleu- tian Islands, is in more violent erup- tion than ever before, according to a report brought by the revenue cut- tr Tahoma. Smoke and ashes are rising a mile and a half above the crater, accord- ing to the triangulations made by the Tahoma'e officer. Flames are shooting from the cones, lava is flow- ing down the sides and huge boulders are flying high in the air. A lake in the centre of one of the Bogoslov Is- lands is boiling, The island formerly was a rendez- vous fov niyriacis of sea birds, all of which probably perished. Not one live bird was visible from the Tahoma, butigreat numbers of dead ones float- ed n the sea. The Tahoma anchored ten miles from the volcano, not daring to ap- proach neater. The eutter's decks were coveted with hot ashes even at that distance. The officers epent a day in viewing the magnificent spectacle and in making photographs.

MORE TROUBLE Ultimatum Sent to Ruler of Monaco by His feople, Demand Separation of Prince's Rev. enue and Those of Municipality. Monte Carle, Oct. 17. -The Mona- gasque agitation continues. The lead, ers declare they will fight for their righta to the bitter end. Prinee Louis of Monaco, son of the reigning prince, gave aninterview to twenty-five members of the Municipal Council to -day. The delegation laid the demands of the population before the Prince, stating that an anewer must be forthcoming within forty- eight hours. Prince Louis telegraphed to his father in Switzerland explain- ing the situation. The chief demands are that a die, tinction be made between the rulers' revenues and those of the MunieiPal- ity and the resignation of Admiral d'Hautefetillie, the Governor. It is believed the latter demand at all events will be complied with, The principality of Monaco is one of the emallest independent countries in the world. It contains only eight square miles of territory with a. pop- ulation of about twenty thousand, The principal revenue of the Prince is derived from the concession for gambling in the famous Corel e des Etrangers., at Monte Carlo, for which $350,000 is paid annually. Recently Prince Albert, who had been an ab- solute ruler, granted the people a Parliament, INSULT TO POPE. Catholics Strougly Condemn Mayor Nathan's Speech. Montreal, Oct. 10. -Twenty-five thousand Roman Catholic citizens of Montreal gathered at the Champ de Mars this evening and passed a strongly -worded resolution denouncing the recent anti-Christian speech of Mayor Nathan of Rome. It had been planned to hold the demonstration at the Monument National, but the hall and street were so crowded the speak- ers could not get in so the open-air meeting 'Wall held. in, Bru- chesi presided, and speeches were made by his Grace, Mayor Guerin, Messrs. Henri Bourassa; Hon. J. Decarie, Pro- vincial Secretary, and. many others, while letters , were read from other Bettis:1:1.0 the Province representing a million and a half French-Canadian Archbishop Bruchesi said they had an undoubted ,right to protest against Mayor Nathan's insult to the Pope, who was both their king and spirit- ual father, just as it was the duty of every subject to protest against an insult to their King. His Grace read parts of Mayor Nathan's s4eeht. which were greeted with cries of "a bas le Jeff" (down with the Jew) from all sides of the huge crowd. His Grace said the meeting represented the adhesion of it million and a half Catholics to the Vicar of Christ and tiaftoieaon;ing resolution was adopt- ed Valime ll amidst loud cheers: "To his Eminence Cardinal Merry De Val, Rome: Catholic population of Montreal, at immense public meet- ing comprising all classes of society, vigorously protest against the brutal speech of the Mayor of Rome. His odious blasphemies against Christ, lioui8Gg°es12.1)011Rio His s Church, his coarse tra fallible Vicar arouse deep indignation. Sentiments of unlimited devotion and ever-in- creasing gratitude to the Papacy, humanity's benefactor, long and loud- ly acclaimed." This was immediately cabled to Rome. MAKING A CHEEK. Man's Right Arm Sewn to His Face By Doctors in Guy's Hospital. London, Oct. DI -With the skin of his right arm sewn to his face and the whole arm and head firmly enclosed in a heavy plaster cast, a patient at Guy's Hospital is now undergoing one of the most remarkable cures ever attempted at that institution. As the result of a slowly developing growth on the right cheek most of the upper jaw and overlying tissues had to be removed six years ago. After this operation a hollow large enough to hold. a hen's egg and devoid. of skin remained. The present operation is a» attempt to cause a portion of the growing skin tis- sues of the arm to take root over the denuded area so as to provide a um cheek. At the operation, which was perfornied ten days ago, an area of skin two inches square was lifted from over the right ' biceps, so that thtee edges were free, the the fourth side being bit attaehed to the arm. The patient's aim was then raised and beet over his head, so that the bend 01 1218 elbow touched his fore. heed. The free end of the flap was then drawn Over the sunken part of the cheek and stitched to the side of the nose and niouth. The whole Arm and head. Were then firmly bandaged, and a strong pks- ter east Was npplied. "The skin flap had to be left attached to the atm," one of the surgeons ex- pkined, "so that it could have mime blood supply until hew vessels have formed at the point where the flep is setVil to the nose. Tit ten days' time, that Is three weeks after the operation, we shall eut awey the square of akin from its remaining attechinetit on the arm and sew it over the remainder of the gap. We ean then remove the pa- tient's plaster east and free him from his uneomfortablersition," YOUNG WOMAN'S SOICIOL Fort Faeces, Oet. 10. -Despondent alive the Man she expected to marry jilted her and married another, Annie MeGinnes, a domestic at the home of John Tighe, threw herself into the canal here on Friday night.
