Hugo Kills 9 As It Closes In On Puerto Rico The Associated Press SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Hurricane Hugo pounded the U.S. Virgin Islands and continued on a collision course with Puerto Rico early today after ripping across the northeast Caribbean with 140-mph winds and leaving at least nine people dead. About 80 people were injured on the French island of Guadeloupe and 4,000 were left homeless, French officials said. The region's most powerful storm in a decade was expected to plow into Puerto Rico today. The government mobilized the National Guard, and residents rushed for last-minute supplies and taped and boarded windows. At 10:30 p.m. EDT, Hugo's center was near latitude 17.4 degrees north and longitude 64.7 west, about 130 miles east-southeast of San Juan, the National Weather Service in Florida said. The storm slowed slightly from 12 mph to mph, the weather service said. The Virgin Islands' population is 106,000, and Puerto Rico has 3.3 million people. Hurricane-force winds of nearly 100 mph ripped away roofs and knocked out power on St. Thomas and St. Croix, about 70 miles east of Puerto Rico, officials said. Those two islands have most of the Virgin Islands' population. Officials said stores in the St. Croix town of Christiansted were heavily damaged and there were reports of looting. National Guard Adjutant General Robert Moorehead said 1,000 people were evacuated to rescue shelters in St. Croix. Jesse Moore, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center in Deng Reported To Name Jiang To Be His Heir The New York Times BEIJING - Deng Xiaoping has named Communist Party General Secretary Jiang Zemin to be his heir as China's paramount leader, according to a confidential report of two "informal talks" between Mr. Deng and other senior officials. In a conversation June 16 with eight other leaders, Mr. Deng said Chairman Mao Tse-tung, who died in 1976, had been the "core" of the first generation of Communist leaders, and that he himself had been the core of the second generation of leaders. He added that Mr. Jiang, 63, is the core of the next generation. "We must consciously defend the core, which now is none other than comrade Jiang Zemin, everyone's comrade," Mr. Deng said, according to a report on his conversation made available by an official with no particular ties to Mr. Jiang. The contents of the talks were confirmed by two other Chinese who were familiar with the remarks. Mr. Deng, 85, is said to have called on other officials to rally around Mr. Jiang and avoid fighting over power. He also suggested that he would step down from his only official post, chairman of the Central Military Commission. HURRICANE Continued ón A5 DENG Continued on A5
