 Santo Domingo and Haiti.
 As understood here Santo Domin- go may have undergone as great a holocaust as did Havana four years ago when a hurricane swept the city, killing more than 100 persons and doing nearly S20,ooo,o00 in damage to property and crops.
 The Dominican republic. of which Santo Domingo is capital. oc- cupies the eastern two-thirds of the Island of Haiti. The republic has an area of 19,300 square miles and a population in excess of 100000. Santo Domingo in 1921 had a pop ulation of 40.957. It was founded in 1496 and is the oldest existing set clement of white men in the new world.
 The city stands upon a promon- tory and had rather poor harbor. Most of the houses are massive. of stone, and are pierced with huge windows and doors, The republic frequently is visited by the hurri- canes which sometimes take con- siderable life and property toll.

 It was at first believed that the hurricane would keep to sea after passing over Fisherman's Point, a small island near the coast of Cuba, but later the Belen university ob- servatory here said its reports indi- cated change in it's direction, and that it probably would move across the island to Haiti. thence passing across the eastern end of Cuba and the Bahamas.
 The Belen observatory predicted considerable damage in Cuba and the Bahamas. and named specifically the cities of Santiago De Cuba. Guantanamo. Gibara. Holguin, and Myarl as in the danger zone. Father Gutierrez Lanza said last night that the course of the hurricane then was approximately between north west and west northwest, that it was moving at a speed of t6 miles an hour, and that the winds blowing to- ward the center were we'll in excess Of 100 miles per hour.

Dallas, Tex, Sept. (Pe-Tfle tri- color of France and the stars and stripes floated together in Dallas to- day as a thrilled city suspended nor nal activities to give a traditional Texas welcome to Captain Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte. French air voyageurs who conquered the At lantic.
 This city was the rendezvous of airmen throughout the southwest who winged their way here to par ticipate in the welcome of the Frenchmen. flying to Dallas from New York to collect a purse of s25,- 900 offered by Col. William E. Easterwood, now in Dublin.
 Fifteen army planes from Kelly field. San Antonio. were in the con- voy assembled here to fly north to greet the scarlet sesquiplane which triumphed over more than 1000 miles of storms, fogs and hazardous weather between Le Bourget and Curtiss fields @
 E Conrade to Be Present
 A comrade who once met haz- ards far different from fogs and storms in company with the French ace. planned to be among the thou sands to welcome him. He is R. .DeFrance. member of Captain Coste's wartime squadron, now a resident of San Antonio. -E
 The program of welcome called for official greetings from Governor Dan Moody, or his representative, in behalf ofSthe state.
 Detachments of Dallas policemen, assisted by several companies of Ma tionai Guardsmen, had been assigned to guard planes at the field and keep the crowd from rushing in upon the f]iers when they landed.
 The National Broadcasting com pany had opened a special wire from Dallas to New York for a coast to coast network broadcast of the land ing and reception. with station WFAA, a 50,ooo watt station. as the key station.
 After ceremonies at the field, parade into town was planned and a dinner in honor of Coste and Bel lonte was. arranged for tonight.

 Some uncertainty still remainA as to the terms of Colonel Easterwood's contract with the French f1iers. His representatives here said they had no direct authorization to present the purse to Coste and Bellonte on their arrival. They expressed the belief the money had been posted n Paris.
 The purse was one of many Col. Easterwood has offered for aviation feats. Arrival of the Question Mark at Love field will mark the first time any of his prizes have been claimed.

Population About 35,OOO

Washington, Sept. 4 P-The City of Santo Domingo, reported half ruined and in need of medical sup plies and water for those suffering from the wrath of the hurricane. held an estimated population of 35,o0o three years ago.
 Located on the Ozama river, a tropical stream. it has been con- sidered an outstanding specimen of the 18th century Spanish city in the new world.
 Guarding the entrance to the harbor is an old rock fort, with it's historic turreted Columbus tower. Tn the town is the old Gothic ca thedral, where Columbus was bur jed, and where rest the bones of many notable families, in early American history. .
 The country over which the storm wreaked havoc is extremely rugged and woody. It covers 1882 square miles and has three major mountain ranges running east and west. Along the southern boundary of the great plain of Vega Real, which is 140 miles long and IS to 30 miles wide, stands Lima Tina. the highest mountain in the West In- dies, reaching upward 1o,3oo feet.
 Mountains Numerous
 Irregular mountain spurs break the remainder of the country. while waterfalls dot the myriad of streams in the valleys. While the climate Is tropical, it is considered healthful because of ocean winds and the ele- vation. The usual dry season extends from Decembereto June, while pre- cipitation in the wet months caused the growth of luxuriant forests in which such trees as mahogany, satin wood and cedar predominate.
 Although mining once was the is- lands major source of revenue, that industry of late years has been at a virtual standstill but the extent of some mineral resources has not been determined.
 Cattle and goats are raised in con- siderable numbers, feeding on the luxuriant grass, but sugar cane, thriving in the tropical soil, consti- tutes the major agricultural pro- duct. Some coffee, bananas. COCOA nuts and cavao are produced,
 Most of the republics revenue is derived from customs duties.
