'CITY RETURNS TO NORMAL.
Little Evidence Found to Indicate Damage Was Great.
A correspondent for the Associated Press who arrived on the first through train from Mexico City found the business and residential sections of Vera Cruz presenting a normal appearance after a hurricane, with property losses consisting of razed wooden buildings along the water front and small craft beached in the harbor. American Vice Consul Willis A. Myers declared the hurricane the worst Vera Cruz has known in the past quarter of a century, while banana and sugar cane plantations were severely damaged over an area extending about 100 miles inland.
VERA CRUZ, September 30.--Although considerable property damage was caused in the city of Vera Cruz by a hurricane which swept it Tuesday, the city yesterday was returning to normal, with little to justify early reports that it had been destroyed or greatly damaged.
A correspondent for the Associated Press, who arrived on the first through train from Mexico City in response to reports that the city was severely damaged, found the business and residential sections presenting a normal appearance. Although reports were received that two persons had been drowned, the local authorities thus far have been unable to find any dead.
Property losses, which may reach 200,000 or 250,000 pesos, consist of razed wooden buildings along the water front, including a yacht club, a group of frame houses and refreshment stands and a wrecked marine coal-landing station.
Cane Crop Damaged.
Banana and sugar cane plantations were severely damaged over an area extending about 100 miles inland, the torrential rains beating down plants and ruining many crops.
Twenty or thirty small craft in Vera Cruz harbor were beached and damaged by the pounding on the shore. American Vice Consul Willis A. Myers declared yesterday that the hurricane was the worst Vera Cruz has known in the past quarter of a century, despite the fact that no deaths have been verified and no great property damage caused in the business and residential sections.
A rainfall of cloudburst proportions fell for 14 consecutive hours, commencing Monday night and flooding the city streets. About 10 o'clock yesterday morning a terrific wind swept over the city from the gulf.
The storm disrupted radio and telegraphic communication with Mexico City, resulting in the reports which flooded the capital that Vera Cruz had been destroyed or greatly damaged. Regularly scheduled railway trains between Vera Cruz and Mexico City maintained service
