persons were killed, about 1000 in

Santa Barbara and San Francisco.
Throughout the area affected, high
water seems to have done almost as
much damage as the hurricane. With
the path of the storm officially re-

Pines, through Batabah9. and on to
the north coast a few miles east of
Havana, every village in that path
from which word has come tells of
foundations of a part or the whole
settlement.
The story of the destruction
wrought on the Isle of Pines was
told by three Americans and an old
Cuban newspaperman when they
reached the capital this afternoon.

at Batabano, which is about 40 miles

They said that few buildings were
left standing on the Isle of Pines and
told how, after the storm had abated,
work was started Immediately to re-
pair the damage to the Cristobal Col

which help could be summoned, the
wireless apparatus having been de-
stroyed.
