SummaryResumen
The Daily Alaska Empire reported that a powerful earthquake and tidal wave struck the Dominican Republic, killing at least two people and damaging more than eleven towns. In the northern coastal town of Matanzas, a swift tidal wave swept a mile inland, leaving only eight of three hundred houses standing and forcing residents to seek refuge in trees and forests. Communication disruptions hampered damage assessments, and authorities considered air-dropping food to hungry survivors in the Matanzas and Nagua areas.
El *Daily Alaska Empire* informó de un violento cataclismo telúrico acompañado de un tsunami que devastó la República Dominicana, cobrando la vida de al menos dos pobladores y causando graves estragos en más de once villas. En el litoral norte, las olas gigantescas penetraron una milla tierra adentro en el poblado de Matanzas, derribando casi trescientas moradas de las que sobrevivieron sólo ocho y obligando a los moradores a trepar a los árboles y refugiarse en los bosques. El corte de las líneas telegráficas complicó el balance de daños, mientras los cuerpos de socorro contemplaban el lanzamiento aéreo de víveres para los damnificados de Matanzas y Nagua.

range, stricken Sunday by an
earthquake and tidal wave which
took a toll of at least two dead
and damaged more than 11 towns'
in this Carribean Republic.
Eye witness reports received today
frem Matanzas on the North Coast,
said a tidal wave swept inland as
much as a mile so swiftly that ii
caught a party fleeing in an auto
mobile.
The eyewitness said the residents
had been forewarned and had taken
reluge in trees and high places.
Only eight of the 300 houses in
Matanzas were reported left stand
ing.
Wrecked telegraph and communi
cation facilities made it difficult
to get a clear picture of the dam
age wrought by the quake which
apparently centered in the deepest
point in the Atlantic ocean, ap
proximately 50 miles off the east
coast of the Dominican Republic.
Reports from the Matanzas and
Nagua regions said that frightened
inhabitants had taken refuge in the
forests and were suffering from
hunger. Authorities were consid
ering dropping food from air
planes.
Meanwhile apprehension gi ipped
the Republic as new tremors shook
the ground here yesterday and
blacked out radio communications
for several hours.
MERCHANTS WILL
MEET THIS NIGHT
A meeting of all Juneau merch
ants will be held in the Legion
Dugout at 8 o'clock tonight to dis
cuss issues of vital importance and
to complete plans for a merchants
organization.
David Scoll, attorney for the Ter
ritory in the current hearings on
transportation, will speak to the
group.
