SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that American naval assistance was dispatched to Belize following a hurricane that killed between 150 and 200 people. Meanwhile, officials monitored a second storm advancing across Puerto Rico toward Haiti and the Dominican Republic. That cyclone had already caused one death and torn roofs from 200 homes in San Juan while tracking westward across the Caribbean.
