Telegraphing from Belize, the Officer Administrating the Government of British Honduras, says: “Dull despair has settled on the population, who are appalled by the magniture of the storm disaster which has befallen them.

Temporary shelters are arising from the ruins, but over 2370 families are now dependent on the Government for supplies of food and clothing. The heavy losses in property and material caused by the hurricane, coupled with the depressed state of the market, appears likely to have the most serious effects upon the colonies.
