SummaryResumen
An Associated Press dispatch from Santo Domingo on September 6 reports that relief agencies reaching the stricken city found the horror of Wednesday's hurricane worse rather than better: an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 persons dead, more than 5,000 injured, 30,000 homeless, and of 10,000 buildings only 400 left standing, with property damage to pass $20,000,000. There is no water fit to drink, the dead are being collected and burned in heaps and in concrete cisterns used as funeral pyres, relief planes have brought some supplies and doctors from Port-au-Prince, Havana, the United States and Porto Rico, and the president has stopped food profiteering by ordering all food sold at cost under pain of court martial, while Santiago, La Vega and Puerto Plata are reported undamaged.
Un despacho de Associated Press desde Santo Domingo del 6 de septiembre informa que las agencias de socorro que llegaron a la ciudad devastada encontraron el horror del huracán del miércoles peor en vez de mejor: se estima que murieron entre 1,500 y 2,000 personas, más de 5,000 resultaron heridas, 30,000 quedaron sin hogar y de 10,000 edificios solo 400 quedaron en pie, con daños materiales que pasarán de $20,000,000. No hay agua apta para beber, los muertos están siendo recogidos y quemados en montones y en cisternas de concreto usadas como piras funerarias, aviones de socorro han traído algunos suministros y médicos desde Puerto Príncipe, La Habana, los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico, y el presidente ha detenido la especulación con los alimentos ordenando que toda la comida se venda al costo bajo pena de consejo de guerra, mientras se informa que Santiago, La Vega y Puerto Plata no sufrieron daños.

"Men and women appear with
little or no clothes on. There is
almost no clothing to be had and
children and older people make
out as best they can. The people
appear to be in a daze and almost
hysterical.'’
Hard to Land
While the landing field here has
been cleared sufficiently to per
mit landing of relief planes from
Port Au Prince, Havana, the Unit
ed st*a and Porto Rico, the land
ing Apr hips is not so simple. The
Ozama river is a raging torrent
pouring out over a bar at its en
trance, which effectively blocks
what was the old harbor. One
authority said he did not believe
even a Navy launch could cross
the bar.
The suggestion has been made—
and it appears plausible—that the
relief ships may disembark their
cargoes and men at San Gerontmo,
four kilometers south of the capital,
where there Is a good beach.
Some supplies, food, medicines
and even shelters have already ar
rived here by airplane which also
brought doctors for treatment of
the sick and injured, and it is un
derstood others are enroutc here
aboard ships from Porto Rico, one
of which is the Naval Tug Grebe,
due today.
Profiteering Stopped
The president stopped food pro
fiteering yesterday with an order
that all food was to be sold at cost
under pain of court martial. He
also called physicians serving the
ill and injured together at the
fortress and designated places in
the city which they might have for
first aid stations.
Among the few buildings left
standing In the city by the wind,
which attained a velocity of 180
miles an hour, were the 400 year
