By the Associated Press. HAVANA, October 22. - Belated advices reaching Havana today indicated that more than 650 persons perished at various places in the provinces of Havana, Matanzas, Santa Clara and Pinar del Rio in the hurricane which struck the island Wednesday morning.

Ten municipalities were wiped out and 6,500 persons were rendered homeless. It is thought the material damage will reach nearly $100,000,000. No definite figures on the total number hurt on the island were available.

In Havana alone it is estimated that 200 persons were killed and 1,600 injured and that houses of 3,200 families were destroyed.

Coast Villages Destroyed. The two villages comprising the municipality of Batabano, on the south coast of the island, reported more than 300 dead and both towns destroyed. They were the first upon which the hurricane fell when it came out of the Caribbean Sea and across the Isle of Pines.

Bejucal, lying midway between Havana and Batabano, had 30 fatalities. At Gabriel there were 11; central Fajaro, 8; Guira del Melana, 9; Camp Columbia, 8; Guanabacoa, 3; Matazanas City, 6, and Guines, 3.

Few reports had been received today from the provinces of Matanzas, Santa Clara and Pinar del Rio, over which the storm passed. They were cut off from communication because of wrecked telephone and telegraph lines and blocked railroads and roads.

The survivors in various districts, many of them seriously injured, were without food, medicine or water and frantic appeals were made for aid.

Two relief committees have been formed. Nearly $100,000 already has been subscribed. Government and private trucks and automobiles have been put into service in efforts to reach interior villages. In Havana all the homeless have been given food and shelter.

Fifteen bodies have been taken out of Havana Harbor, bringing the total number of known drowned here to 19. Officials believe that 50 or more persons possibly met death in the harbor when the heavy seas and the wind destroyed numerous craft.

A preliminary estimate of the monetary damage done to shipping is $5,000,000. The city is dark and deserted at night. No street cars are running, and the electric lights are out.

Bringing word of the death toll at Batabano, three citizens made their way to Havana over wrecked roads, piled with trees and other debris. They said all the survivors in Batabano and its sister town, Surgidiero de Batabano, and the town of San Antonio de Los Banos were without medicine or the necessities of life.

Jail Inmates Return. Three citizens of the town of Guines also have reached Havana. They say they knew of only three persons killed there.

Buildings partially razed in Guines included the jail. All the prisoners fled, but shortly afterward 20 returned and surrendered, saying they preferred the jail to the terror of the storm.

Trains running at a speed not exceeding greatly that of a walk have managed to creep into the city from the eastern section of the republic. Passengers on them reported floods as far east as Santa Clara Province.

P. A. Bonet, Cuban consul general to the Dominican Republic, who was a passenger on one of the trains, said every village along the railway line, from Manaca in Santa Clara province westward, was seriously damaged. The entire countryside, as far as he was able to see on both sides of the track, was a wreck.

Havana has a plentiful supply of food and medicine, and thus far has been able without difficulty to take care of refugees.

Sugar Factories Wrecked. Three large sugar factories in the outlying districts were hard hit by the storm. Central Occidente, a 150-year-old cane-grinding plant, was wrecked. Central Fajaro was destroyed, with a loss of eight lives, and Central Toledo was badly damaged.

At La Saludad 1,000 tobacco curing sheds were demolished.

Among the big industries here which suffered from the storm was the Partages Cigar factory, which was destroyed. It employed 900 cigar makers. The Aguilaoro Cigar factory also was destroyed.

The National Manufacturing Co. was damaged to the extent of $75,000, a paper factory, $80,000, and the Tropical Brewery, $40,000.
