Hurricane Destroys Jamaican Towns

A despatch from Kingston, Jamaica, November 21, informs us that the official estimate of the dead in the hurricane and tidal wave in Western Jamaica places the number at more than one hundred in the coast towns alone. Many small craft foundered and the crews were drowned. Many persons in the towns lost their lives in the collapse of buildings. One coasting vessel was washed half a mile up the main street. Three towns are reported destroyed.
