Great V1NOC.
The typhoon which swept over the Phil

the worst disasters that have been report
ed from the southern ocean in many
years. Thousands of lives were lost, in
Guiding many Europeans, and the dam

Several towns were swept and blown
away Fully 400 Europeans were drown

persisted The hurricane struck the ISL
and at the bay of Santa Paula i'll the
province of Samar. 1t devastated the
entire southern portion Of the island and
cut off communication with the rest Of
the world for two days. On the 18th the
hurricane reached Leyte, and struck the
capital Of Tacloban with great fury. In
less than onc-half hour the town was Il
mass Of ruins.

After Orr Forest Wealth.

Terence V. Powderly, commissioner Of
immigration, has unearthed a scheme for
the wholesale importation by European
capitalists of alien contract laborers to
this country. These men have been
brought here for the purpose Of securing
barrel slaves in the forests Of the South
for the use Of great barrel manufactures
in Austria and Bohemia. The scheme has
worked with such success that hundreds
OF men have been at work for many
months cutting down trees and chopplng
them up. Mr.. Powderly, through his
secret agents, having made this dlscov-
cry, it remained for Deputy immigration
Commissioner insolvency of the port or

CHAPTER II.
The foregoing will show the dangerous
character of the Cuban service. The
risks were by no means confined to the
rebel correspondents. Nearly every Ha-
vana correspondent was arrested at
least once and sometimes had consider
able trouble in securing his freedom.
AS A FILfBUSTER
If a correspondent or volunteer insur-
gent goes to Cuba with filibuster, he
stands fair chance Of reaching his des-
tination. If he goes by any other route
his chance is very slight unless he has
unlimited money.
In going as a f1libuster he violates,
first of ALL the laws of his own country.
He runs great peril from shipwreck, the
filibustering craft being small and likely
to encounter rough weather. When he
lands he finds himself in much danger
from the Spanish troops and ships. If
proper connections be made, the insur-
gent force which received the goods will
hastily run them into the mountains,
probably having to fight their way.
Sometimes there are many days of peril
before this connection can be made.

be stopped unless he cGXries q permit
from the military chief of the town.
II he goes by rail to fortified sugar
estate (and he cannot go without per-
NIT to any except fortified place., he
cannot leave that estate without per-
mission from the commandate To get
such permit he must usually be
vouched for by some resident Of the
town, must pledge himself to return and
not to communicate with the rebels.
Ills indorser will be held responsible and
severely punished If he breaks his pledge.
There Is ditch and circle Of small
forts around each town and sugar es-
tate. 1t is comparatively easy to slip
out at. night on foot, but the whole
country Is patrolled by bands of guer-
rillas. who will demand to see his per-
nit, II they meet him, and will arrest or
kill him If he has none. They have
ample authority to kill man in such q
case. and If 1t turns out to be mistake
they report that they found his dead
body, killed by the insurgents. There
are dozens of such cases on record. A
stranger would find 1t almost impossi-
BILE to avoid these patrols and some of
the tales of their doings make the blood
run cold.
(To be continued)
The herald., 1897-11-28

However. he may get through by this
means, II he can find party to Join
not an easy thing to do nowadays.
The other route is the one usually tried
and at first it seems easy enough. 1t is
quite easy to leave Havana by rail or
by coast steamer for any place. The po-
lice do not interfere in the slightest and
a stranger can visit every city in Cuba
without any danger. The police, how
ever, search his baggage wherever he
leaves the train and confiscate all cloth
ing that would be of use in the field. I'm
less he Is very fortunate in concealing
them he will lose his cavalry boots, leg
gings, waterproof, saddle bags and the
rest.
Then, too, when he lands at city from
which he expects to reach the insurgents
he Is at once a marked man. I have Wis
tied every city in Cuba outside of Ha-
vana, have never found more than five
native born Americans in any of them.
There are usually about a hundred more
naturalized Americans of Cuban paren-
tage, but that is all. 1t can be imagined
how conspicuous our American arrival,
especially one who does not speak per-
feet Spanish, will necessarily be.
SPIES SURROUND THE STRANGER
Unless the adventurer has friends to
guide him, he must go to hotel, where
everyone spies on him, and where he
must state his name and his business.
Moreover, he cannot buy a horse with
out great of intrigue, and must pay
at least $3.50 for one. To go on foot
would result in certain capture. Only a
few persOns are now allowed to own
horses. the government having confis-
Gated all the rest.
He cannot leave town except by cer-
tain designated roads, each of which
Is defended by fort, at which he will
