Tonight it -was possible for the first
time to drive through any of the
streets of the ruined city to gain any

storm's wreckage.
The poorer sections of the city suf
fered the most damage. Whole ureas
inhabited by thousands were complete

remaining to give shelter.
President Rafael Trujillo took he
roic measures in his own hands and
with troops under his personal com
mand began clearing the streets and
roads. He also gave personal atten
tion to maintaining order.
Cable Ship Brings Tents
When the first relief ".hips arrived
today they found that the efforts of
President Trujillo had resulted in
shaping conditions so that more head
way may be made than had been brib
ed for. But It will be next week be
fore there are any street lights and it
will still be several days before the
town water can be turned on.
The All-Ameriea Cable company’s
cable ship today brought tents for
2000 persons. Cable Engineer Judo, of
the cable ship All-America, who was

ber, 1928, declared this afternoon that
the destruction wrought by Wednes
day's storm w’as much greater and

medical unit was landed. Additional
supplies will be here Omorrow for the
