WEST INDIAN STORM. f i Gulf Coast is Being Swept by a Terrific Hurricane. Ttye West Indian storm which made Its appearance down in the Carribean I sea about ten days ago and which continued to puzzle the weather bureau even after it had struck Key West and Tampa, turned to the northwest on Friday and swept the whole Gulf coast for a distance of five hundred. miles beyond Galveston, Texas. During: Friday and Saturday, summer vacationists from the large cities to various resorts on the Gulf were hauled in and ^trains were tinnuled in the-railroads skirting tne uuu snores for fear that the tides that wero naturally to be expected before the high*winds might create washouts that would leave trains stranded between i * streams, bays and lakes, so they could neither go nor come. ( The storm struck Brownsville, Point ' Isabel and Galveston, Texas, last Sunday morning at a velocity of from 65 . to 75 mileS an hour, and wireless communication was lost during the day """with Brownsville. In anticipation of the storm, Galv veston merchants near the water edge moved their good's to upper floors, and fifteen or twenty train loads of wheat and other grain were , sent to the mainland for safety. 1 During Sunday people \of Galveston, 1 men, women, boys and girls, appeared in the streets in bathing suits and peddled about. Motor boats became in common use up and down the streets 1 and where the water was not too deep ice and other delivery wagons continu- i ed to flounder along. No loss of life has been reported, but , **ill ovtnnt nf tho cu'Prn nf tho storm is not yet known. ? MERE MENTION.
