To Be DEAD
IN QUAKE
Santiago, Cuba, Hospital Hit;
Women and Babies Among
Victims Recovered

SANTIAGO, Cuba, by tele-
phone to New York, II 40 p.
M, Feb. 3 0N.S.) .).-Seven
bodies had been recovered at
an early hour this afternoon
from the ruins of buildings
devastated by a series of sharp
earthquake shocks early today.
It was estimated the final
death toll would run to 30
or 40, or even as high as so,
as a large number Of persons
have not been accounted for.
No Americans were among the
dead or injured.
The known dead were three
women and four babies who lost
their lives when the maternity
wing of a hospital collapsed.
Eight Shocks Felt
Eight distinct shocks were felt,
beginning shortly after l a. m.
and lasting until 7:30 a. m.
The quakes were centered in
one portion of the city, which
bore the brunt of the damage
and loss of life.
Scores of other patients in the
hospital narrowly escaped. 1t was
believed $50 persons were in the
place at the time.
The tower of the famous San
tiago Cathedral collapsed.
The roof of the city jail fell
in some places, and several pris-
oners were injured. The others
were at once transferred to the
Moncada Barracks.
Hundreds Homeless
Hundreds of persons were rem
dered homeless by the disaster.
Shores of them camped in the
city plaza, while others fled to
the country, fearing a repetition
of the quakeS.
Among the buildings badly
damaged was the office of the
western Union Telegraph and
Gable Company, but it was not
known whether any American
employees were injured.
Troops are being rushed to San
tiago from surrounding towns to
help control the situation.
Many large buildings were
wrecked or badly damaged by the
earth tremorS.
Due to the fact that the quakeS
crippled power stations, Santiago
was virtually cut off from the out
side world for hours after the
disaster.
Scores Trapped in Bed
Inability to obtain direct re-
ports during the early hours re-
suited in varying estimates of the
casualties being spread.
The most serious occurred
shortly before 6 o'clock this morn
ing. Scores of persons were
trapped in their beds as their
homes tumbled about their heads.

.5-5-3PACTS

News SerVice)

GENEVA, Feb. 3 (I.N.S.).
Japan is planning at the dis
armament conference, now in
session here, to announce her
withdrawal from the Nine
Power Pacific Pact and also
from the naval agreement nego-
tiated at the Washington dis
armament conference in 1922.
This will bring to an end all
restrictive naval building treaties
binding on her on December 81,
1886, and permit her to embark
upon any naval program she sees
fit.
Farley Failure Seen
Unless the Japanese government
reconSiders, the disarmament con-
ference will certainly end in dis
NAL failure. ,-.
"Is it possible that Japan in
tends to withdraw from the
nine-pOwer pact and the Wash
ingtOn Treaty." international
News Service asked a member
of the Japanese disarmament
delegation today.
"It is not only possible but
quite probable" the japanese
replied.
Under the Washington treaty
Japan agreed tC a 5-5-3 ratio with
the United States and Great
Britain, her naval strength to be
restricted to the smaller ratio.
The Japanese ratio was raised to
81 at the London conference.
In the light of recent japanese
activities in Manchuria an d
Shanghai, the feeling is growing
stronger among diplomats gather
ed here that Japan intends cutting
the Gordian knot binding her to
Occidental nations and restricting
her building activities and sphere
of influence.
Then after 1885 she could go
ahead unhampered and create a
military, naval and air establish
ment second to none and place
herself on at least equal footing
with the United States, Great
Britain and France.
