It is reported that all the fruit crops have been ruined. Boats with physicians, supplies of food and medicines are being sent to the isle from Batabano. Fatalities in Cuba. Today reports from various parts of Cuba visited by the hurricane served only to add to the material damage. The a number of fatalities estimated was still under 1,000.

It had been impossible to calculate the number of injured. While there were no definite figures as to actual losses, estimates were that in Cuba they amounted to around 000. The bodies of only 25 persons have been found in the municipality of Batabano. Earlier reports placed the death list at 300. A general checkup in the Port of Havana reveals a possible loss in the waters there of the lives of 157 persons.

Twenty-five bodies have been recovered, but the crews of 46 fishing boats, aggregating approximately 48 persons, are missing and incoming vessels report having seen 48 bodies floating in the sea. The loss of life in other sections of the city is variously estimated at between 60 and 100. Communication Still Crippled. Communication by railroad or wire to the devastated districts still crippled, and it is impossible on the few definite reports received to base anything like an actual calculation of the number of persons killed or injured or the monetary damage sustained in them. Throughout the provinces of Havana and Matanzas and in some sections of Pinar Del Rio, the sugar and tobacco crops are reported to have suffered extensive damage.

Sugar mills in particular suffered heavily. Relief work is being promptly carried out wherever this is possible. In Havana, street car service has been resumed and a limited amount of water is available to all sections of city. Only the interurban lines remaln out of commission. OBITUARIES CHARLES S.

Third Party in Queens Hits Connolly's Delay On Interboro Parkway Charge Neglect of Traffic Conditions Making Issue of Problems of Motorist Residents. A scathing attack on Boro President Maurice E. Connolly for his alleged failure to improve traffic conditions in Queens and neglect to push the Interboro pkway.

project is contained in the platform issued today by the Square Deal party, which put a third ticket of county candidates in the field in Queens. The platform of the new party, which is made up largely of independent Democrats and Republicans, proclaims Connolly domination of the boro as the big issue of this year's Queens The Boro President is assalled as being "unable to realize that Queens is no longer a farming community and requires a totally different method of handling. "He has absolutely failed to realize that all of the traffic to and from Brooklyn and practically all the traffic to and from New York, for the rest of Long Island, must pass starough Queens," the platform Existing Highways Neglected. able. Storms Tie Up Traffic.

"Existing through highways such as Metropolitan ave. have been neglected to a point where they are dangerous to the life and limb of every motorist passing over them. Projected through highways, such as the Interboro Highway, the extension of Liberty Grand Central pkway. and others too numerous to mention, have either been passively neglected or actually hindered. neglected to (Connolly) repair has the side failed streets and of the boro," the platform continues, "so that every person owning a motorcar in Queens is forced to go by the shortest route to one of the few main highways--Hillside Broadway or Queens order to reach a road that is at all pass- every year." Failed in Work.

"To make matters worse, every light storm ties up even these few main highways. Hillside Jamaica Metropolitan ave. and many others become simply a series of ponds which are impassable to motorcars, trolleys and pedestrians alike. The resulting congestion of traffic is the cause not only of thousands of accidents to motorists, but also of the alarming death list among pedestrians. "Not one highway in Queens, with the exception of the approach to the Queensboro Bridge, is protected by traffic lights.

Even Queens Broadway, Hillside ave, and Jamaica where traffic is at least as heavy as that of any street in the city, are absolutely unprotected, and the deaths and serious injuries to men, women and children are increasing The platform goes on to charge that Connolly has "not only failed in that work which is directly under his supervision and control as President of the boro, but also in properly representing it in the Board of Estimate." It accuses the Boro President of failing to see that the libraries of Queens are properly housed and the employees adequately paid, and of turning the Queensboro Library "over to his puppets." The platform concludes by attacking Connolly's leadership of the Democratic party in Queens and states that the party has "primarily and solely been organized for the purpose of the elimination of the control of Maurice Connolly from the destinies of Queens Boro." The platform is made public by the candidates of the Square Deal party: George W. Polhemus, County Judge; John W. Magee, Justice of the City Samuel I.

There is a story going the rounds among the sailormen of the New York Naval Militia that, if true, shows appalling lack of discipline and morale in one unit of the State Militia force. The incident, according to several officers of the Naval Militia, is indicative of the general trend of ference throughout the entire State Naval Corps. These officers lay the blame for this lack of morale at the door of Rear Admiral Louis M. Josephthal, State commandant. Because of a general order requiring all Naval Militia officers of the State to hold a commission in the U.

S. Naval Reserve after Nov. 1 next, Admiral Josephthal over a peE the riod of storm in more the center than Militia. ten of days an He has has internal been been squabble the target for several charges of inefficiency. Boat's Strange Conduct.

The story which is raising the latest furore against the Admiral is that during the participation of the Naval Militia in the recent Erie Canal Centennial celebration, Oct. 6-7, Eagle Boat 51, of the Manhattan Naval Battalion, lay at anchor in the Hudson River, off 98th Manhattan, throughout the night of Oct. 6, all but deserted, if not wholly deserted, by its crew, a menace to navigation, and the boat itself endangered, should an accident have occurred. Repeated calls via telephone to Rear Admiral Josephthal's office in Manhattan, to verify this story, have been unavailing for more than a week. Officers of the First Naval Battalion will have nothing to say about the incident.

That there is any truth in the story is hotly denied at headquarters. Eagle 51 Seemed Deserted. However, the tale of the "crew- less' Eagle 51 on Oct. 6-7, going about the officers of the Naval Militia and given credence by many, is substantially as follows: The United States destroyer Fox, from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Eagle Boat 26, from the Naval Militia division at Whitestone, L. were ordered by Naval Militia headquarters to proceed to station in the Hudson River, off W.

98th Oct. 6, and there to take up anchorage, nearby the Eagle 51, that all three boats might be ready for the naval parade celebrating the centennial the next day. The commanders of Eagle 26 and Destroyer Fox on reaching the Hudson River anchorage that afternoon discovered, much to their amazement, that the Eagle 51 was still tied up to its dock. Their orders directed them to take up an anchorage guiding on this vessel. Standing by in the river the two boats signaled repeatedly to the ship at the dock.

These signals brought no response. The yard goes on that the Eagle 3 HIGH SCHOOL BOYS HELD IN FLUSHING CAR THEFTS Three of the Flushing High School boys who were arrested for the alleged theft of 11 automobiles by Flushing detectives on Thursday were held for one week in the Children's Society's shelter for further examination in Children's Court by Justice W.

He declares: "There certainly is a Santa Claus because we see him in Loser's every X'mas time." do not believe in Santa Claus," writes Louis Horowitz of 314 Pearl "because when I wAs small once heard my mother say what should she give me.

And he always sends them to me, and he fills my stocking with all kinds of candy and fruit and also nuts. And he also decorates our Christmas tree." -Marie Kane, 9, 255 Greene ave. "The night before Christmas hung up my stocking and went to bed. In the morning I woke up and by my bedside I saw a doll and carriage and set of dishes. I looked In my stocking and found it stuffed with delicious candy, And when asked my mother, 'Who gave it all to she answered, 'Santa -Shirley Best, 370 Madison street.

51 did not get up steam for several hours, and that it was a much longer period before the boat made an anchorage in the stream. According to officers on the Whitestone boat, whose craft was lying at anchor only a few hundred yards from the Manhattan cruiser, several cutters put out from shore and passed back and forth from the Eagle 51 and the 1st Battalion dock during the evening. Later in the evening the Eagle 51 again appeared to be deserted by its crew; hails and signals from those aboard the other boats brought 1 no response. The 51's riding light burned brightly throughout the night, while aboard the sister ship, the officers wardroom buzzed with caustic comment. The officers of the Eagle 51 came in for much adverse criticism; the gravity of the maritime offense was also thoroughly discussed.

Late Starting for Parade, Giving further color to the charges made that the Eagle 51 rode at anchor in the Hudson River that night, without crew or sufficient officer force, endangering its own safety and shipping in the river, is the story of the following morning, told by the Long Island division officers. They relate that when Admiral Josephthal on the Destroyer Fox gave orders early the next morning for his flotilla to pull up anchor and proceed to a off Dyckman several miles up the river, the Eagle 51 showed no signs of life. The Fox and the Eagle 26 proceeded, signaling frantically for the Manhattan Eagle boat to get under way. Again no response. Several hours later, when the naval paarde for centennial celebration steamed down river once more, it was met by the Eagle 51 now under way and with steam up, about at the point of its night's anchorage.

So far as it can be ascertained, no explanations of the curious conduct of the Eagle 51 were demanded by Rear Admiral Josephthal. If disciplinary action had been taken against the 1st Bn. oflicers manning the Eagle 51, the officers of the other units of the State force would learn of it, it is believed. Fine Chance for Scandal. "what "But just think," one officers said, a scandal it would have been If something had happened--a collision, or the Eagle 51 had dragged its anchor.

What a reflection on the State Naval Militia the loss of that orth hundreds of thousands of dollars, would have been." About a half dozen Brooklyn Naval Militia officers and more than a score throughout the State, all with service of 10 to 20 years with the Naval Militia and with the Regular Navy during the World War, will be hit under Admiral Josephthal's General Order 12, taking effect Nov. 1.

At length, some one suggested that, although there was no longer any big game in the bailiwicks of Singapore, they could let the Sultan's one tame tiger loose in the country, and see to it that the American got a chance to shoot it. "Sure enough, the American bagged the tiger, which 1 is regarded an a semi-sacred animal by the more backward of the natives.
