Hurricane Ravages the West Indies

Martinique, Porto Rico, Jamaica, and other islands of the West Indies were swept by a hurricane August 9, about fifty lives being lost and property damaged to the extent of $10,000,000 as a result. The ruin was especially great in the southeastern part of Jamaica, which was practically denuded of crops. Five steamships were driven ashore at Port Antonio, on the north coast of Jamaica, and only six houses in the city were left standing.
