Haiti in Line of Storms

By United Press

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—The

hurricane which swept Porto Rico

Thursday night with undetermined

damage was reported by the weath

er bureau today to be approaching

Haiti and the Dominican republic

with undiminished violence.

Dispatches received here said one

person was killed and several were

injured in San Juan Thursday

night. Extent of damage in the in

terior of Porto Rico was unknown.

Meantime, unofficial reports to the

Tropical Radio Company said the

city of Belize, British Honduras,

had been destroyed by a hurricane

Thursday night. The reports said

150 persons had been killed.

The Belize hurricane was a dis

turbance far removed from that

which hit Porto Rico. The weather

bureau believes the former hurri

cane has about spent its force. It

was centered today in the extreme

southern part of the Gulf of

Mexico.

Warnings were sent by the bu

reau to Belize Thursday night that

the city was in danger, but commu

nications were interrupted. The bu

reau has charted the progress of

the Belize disturbance for several

days and added to the current hur

ricanes that one which reached San

Juan shortly before midnight.

The San Juan disturbance was

about half-way between Porto Rico

and Haiti today. Estimates of the

violence of the hurricane varied

from 70 tp 100 miles an hour.

Wind velocity of the storm which

struck Belize was fifty miles an hour

when last reported to the weather

bureau.

United States Consul Taggart was

injured slightly.
