An addi tional $75,000 was appropriated by the American Red Cross today for relief of hurricane victims in Cuba, bringing the total American contri bution to the Cuban Red Cross to $10,000 placed at the disposal of Ambassador Crowder. This action followed receipt of a report from the Cuban society saying its funds were insufficient to meet the needs, and expressing gratitude for the initial $25,000 contribution from the Amer ican Red Cross. Ambassadort Crow der, in a report to the state depart ment, described the situation as ser ious and the navy department has been notified that the cruiser Mil waukee and destroyer Goff had reach ed the Isle of Pines with relief sup plies and physicians.

The American army and navy have been asked for cots and 1,000 large tents as temporary shelter for the home less. Trains are operating to a majority of the stricken districts and supplies have been sent to the Isle of Pines direct from Havana, on two naval vessels from Guantenamo and two from Key West.
