THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Andrew Guanche
was laid to rest Wednesday in the
calm after the hurricane for
which he was named.
He was born into poverty and
took with him little: a pacifier
and a hairbrush, placed alongside
him in a tiny casket, 10 inches
wide and 24 inches long. They
were the first gifts he received in
his short life.
"Andrew! Andrew! Andrew!"
his mother, Natalia, cried hysteri
cally as she bent over his grave,
running her hand across the cas
ket, the last connection to her son.
In Spanish, she screamed: "Why,
God, why? You gave me this
child only a few days. Why did
you take him?"
Natalia and Andrew's father,
Felipe, each placed a chrysanthe
mum on the casket.
And then Andrew was buried,
in a cemetery surrounded by
Hurricane Andrew's fury: piles of
tree limbs, dirt, the debris of
houses. Some of the trees in the
cemetery itself were toppled.
Both Andrews had lived short
lives that touched all around
them.
Babv Andrew was 9 days old
when ne died. He slipped away,
not in a home surrounded by toys
and pets, but in the coldness and
loneliness of a Red Cross shelter,
in a donated crib that suffocated
him.
He was the 39th death and, so
far, the last death in Florida
blamed on Hurricane Andrew.
The hurricane had hastened his
birth, and then betrayed him.
Buried with him was a piece of
the American dream of his par
ents, who came to the United
States 12 years ago from Cuba
aboard the "Freedom Flotilla"
boatlift.
"I lost part of my life," said his
father, a 48-year-ofd unemployed
handyman. "It's a hard strike for
us. We have lost all our happi
ness and strength. I am emotion
ally destroyed.^
He was the one who picked up
the child from his crib, felt the
coldness of his body and stared
into a face that had turned blue.
"I can't overcome that memo
ry," he said.
The funeral drew scant atten-
dozen relatives a:

Yeltsin to settle island disputi

MOSCOW — President Boris Yeltsin called off a
trip to Japan Wednesday in the face of growing pres
sure at home and abroad to resolve
a dispute over islands claimed by
Japan but occupied by the Soviet
Union since 1945.
Many Russians had expressed
fear that Yeltsin would surrender
two of the four Kuril Islands dur
ing his three-day trip in exchange
for major economic assistance
from Japan.
Japan has insisted that the dis

Tokyo as the Northern Territories
— be settled before it would con-

tribute large-scale aid to Russia. The dispute has
been the major stumbling block in their relations and
prevented the Soviet Union and japan from signing a
treaty formally ending World War II.
Yeltsin's press office blamed "a number of cir
cumstances" for the indefinite postponement of the
visit, which had been scheduled to begin Sunday. It
did not elaborate but said Russia's foreign minister
would continue talks with Japan.
"The president's decision does not affect good
neighborly relations with both these states,’
statement said.
the
In Tokyo, Japanese officials expressed regie:
Yeltsin's announcement. But Foreign MinisterMic
Watanabe said: "We are taking this calmly."
A government statement attributed Yeltsin'sili
sion to "various internal reasons."
Yeltsin spoke by telephone with JapanesePn
Minister Kiichi Miyazawa for 35 minutes on Wedi
day. He also called the president of SouthKoii

agency said Yeltsin now planned to go to Seoul
December, combining that visit with a scheduledl
to China.
The Kurils consist of 18 main islands inan
curving from Russia's Kamchatka Peninsuli
Japan, separating the Sea of Okhotsk from the Pat
Ocean. Japan claims the southernmost four: ’
Kunashir, Shikotan and a cluster of small islands

1,929 square miles, about the size of Delaware.
Russian naval officers say the Ekaterina Straits

say the waters produce up to $1 billion worthed

Nationalists and conservatives fear that giving
