Weather Bureau in Doubt About Ex-
tent of Martinique Storm.
Washington, Aug. 27.-Oficials of the
weather bureau are not yet able to pre-
dict the extent to which the cyclone re-
ported south of Martinique, will devel-
op. At present the information re-
ceived here indicates only a slight die
turbance south of San Domingo. The
locality affected now, however is en-
tirely outside of the scope of the re-
porting stations, and until the storm
moves farther north it will be impossi-
BILE to determine it's extent By tomor-
row morning the expectation is the
storm may reach the vicinity of Santa
go, when more definite data may be OBJ
tanned. Careful watch is being kept by
the weather bureau of its progress, and
should a severe blow come prompt
warning would be given by the service
as in the case of the hurricane several
weeks ago.
