today that deaths officially an
nounced up to the present time from

houses will be uninhabitable and
unsafe. he said Continuous small
shocks were being felt.

Of Fayal but three are uninjured."
the report said. "One village of 1900
population has only 90 houses stand
ing. The land owners have no
means or any personnel to recon-
struct The island will have con-
siderable hardship due to the hous-
ing problem during continuous rainy
season in the autumn and winter"
"Fayal is ruined, many Portu-
guese destitute. The best assistance
that could be offered would be port
able houses and tents. Food sup
plies and medicines are sufficient for
the present"
Consul Remillard said he believed
no Americans or other foreigners
were destitute.
The state department forwarded
the report to the American Red
