By the Associated Press. HAVANA, October 21. - The Caribbean hurricane which struck Havana early yesterday took a toll of dead which may exceed 30 and caused the injury of about 1,200 persons. Early estimates that 1,800 had been injured were not borne out by later reports. The majority of those injured were suffering only from slight hurts. Damage so far reported is estimated at $30,000,000.

Complete details of the damage caused in the suburbs are still lacking. Reports thus far received say about 12 persons were killed, while an unknown number were injured, with few serious cases reported.

Communication with the interior is still cut off, but it is hoped that a restricted service will be restored in some parts of the island by tonight. The telephone service in Havana was greatly curtailed today. Americans Believed Safe. The American consulate, the American Club and leading hotels thus far have received no reports of the killing or serious injury of any Americans, although many are known to have suffered slight bruises.

A trip to the suburbs of Marianao this morning showed that all of the well known Americans who lived there were safe and uninjured. Many of them were weary, however, from their battle to prevent damage to their homes by the storm. Several reported that they had to stand in water up to the ankles while they held doors and windows firm against the force of the wind.

All of the Americans in the suburbs live in well constructed houses which withstood the force of the storm.

Havana this morning presented almost a carnival aspect as all automobiles able to move were filled with people traveling about the city looking at the damage. Trolleys Still Abandoned. Every effort was made today to restore public services. Trolleys were still abandoned in the streets in many sections because of the cutting of power while the city was still without light and water. A plentiful supply of water was expected today, while the electric light company hoped to restore street lighting and power in all sections by nightfall.

Two large Havana dailies this morning issued restricted editions, while several of the afternoon papers made no plans to publish because of the lack of power for the presses.

Considering the force of the storm, a remarkably small number of dwellings collapsed in Havana proper, a check-up revealing about 40. In many cases only the walls or one side of the house was affected. It is estimated that a majority of homes in the city suffered damage ranging from $10 to a few hundreds.

Harbor workers, after all-night efforts, were able to raise a few of their launches which had been sunk and began a patrol of the harbor. The port police discovered the bodies of an unidentified man and the cook, captain and engineer of the English schooner E. B. Parke floating in the bay.

Port officials today declined to estimate the damage to piers and to shipping, saying that the total losses had not yet been compiled. The streets of the city were being cleared of wreckage rapidly this afternoon and merchants were redecorating their windows. Business was resumed in all except a few stores. Few Buildings Untouched. It is believed that nearly all the buildings in Havana suffered damage, but few of them collapsed. The monument erected by Cuba for the 266 Americans who were killed in the explosion which sank the United States battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898 was razed. Only the base and two 10-inch guns, relics of the battleship, remained. The heaviest damage occurred in the port of Havana, where two steamers, five schooners, 40 fishing vessels, numerous launches and two barges were sunk. Four steamers and one schooner were seriously damaged.

The Havana Coal Company's elevator was wrecked. Its skeleton was a mass of twisted steel today. Three large docks and many smaller ones were wrecked and all the others were damaged.

Most of the persons killed were struck by falling walls or flying debris. After the storm had passed out over the Gulf of Mexico the streets were littered with electric light and telephone wires, signs, parts of roofs, sheet iron shutters, trees and balcony railings wrenched loose by the wind. The intensity of the storm was indicated by the wrecking of the Bleven College wind gauge when the storm had reached a velocity of 96 miles an hour before it struck the city with full force.
