Alexander, his mother-in-law; Sergio Osmena, head of the Filipino delegation at Washington Senator Ruberto Montinola, one of the legislative leaders in the Philippines; Ogden Reid, a personal friend: Clyde Pangborn, round-the-world fiyer;: Bernt Balchen, Polar fiyer, and a color guard of Boy Scouts The governor general said that as he had never been to the Philippines he could not discuss his official plans, although he added he had conferred with “authorities” about health prob- lems there and would put into effect some of the policies he followed as governor general of Porto Rico.

National City Bank of New York Ad- vised of Quake Happenings. NEW YORK, February 3 (.—The tional City Bank of New York was advised this morning that its branch bank in Santiago, Cuba, had not been injured by the earthquake. H. E. Hennaman, vice president of bank, said the bank’s advices were “‘meager.” While American investments in Cuba are estimated at over $1,000,000,000, he cxpressed belief the portion of Amer- ican capital invested directly in San- tiago was moderate. Chase National Bank of New York, which also has branches in Cuba but not in Santiago, had recefved no ad vices direct from Santiago early today. The New York offices of the Ward Line received a cablegram from its agent at Santiago today stating its property in Santiago was damaged by the earth-: quake. The message did not give the extent of the damage. Franklin D. Mooney, president of the line, said that the company's property consisted of piers and terminal warehouses situated some distance from the heart of the city. The United Fruit Co., which operates passenger and cargo ships to Santiago, said its steamer Adangarez was due to dock at Santiago today. The Munson Line, whose ships also touch at Santiago, said none of them was there now. Damage Held Slight. The offices of the Consolidated Rail- roads of Cuba was told by telephone from Havana that the earthquake damage had not been as large as first reported. The company's representative at Camaguey, some distance from Santi- ego, radioed that first reports indicated the damage to railroad property at San- tiago, comprising terminal buildings and shops, had been comparatively slight. The Cuban Dominican Sugar Co., owning large plantations in Cuba, said that apparently its properties were not in the area most severely affected, al- though there had been no direct word {rom them. The International Telephone & Tele- graph Co., subsidiaries of which supply Cuba with cable and telephone com- munication, reported todsy that its spur cable into Santiago was out of commission, but cables into Havana were working and communication was established with Santiago overland from Havana.
