the crew assisted in rescuing many
Filipinos whose cascoes had been
Wrecked. The typhoon swept not only
oEer the bay of Manila. but over the
cities of Manila and Cayite as well,
carrying wreckage and devastation be-
fore it. The cities were denuded OF
trees and telegraph wires. Semi-dark-
ness reigned for several days, and
manv lives were lost through electric
shocks The loss on land and sea was
almost incalculable.
On the bay the cascoes We're at the
mercy of the wind and waves, a large
number being crushed and sunk ike so
many eggshelIs. A number OF cascoes
were dashed against the breakWater
and an instant later the storm-r1Ven
waters were strewn with struggling
forms of humanity making desperate
but futile struggle for life.
The Logan narrowly escaped pelns
piled up, a mass OF wreckage on lhe
breakwater during the typhoon- one
was inside the breakwater ana was
swept gradually over toward it. She
went broadside on, but happily three
or four coal lighters were jammed up
against the stone wall, and the trans

and these, IN turn, ground their sides
off against the wall While in this po-
sition the crew and stewards went 10

many Of them were recklessly indlner-

The sailors of the Logan lowered
ropes and buoys to succor the unfor-
tunate natives, and many were saved
by this means, but a large number

VIOLENT ELECTRICAL STORM
Thunder and Lightning Accompanied b.
Over Inch Of Rain.
EFFECTS NUMEROUS, BUT NOT FATAL
streets Were Flooded, Electric wires
Impaired and street Car serv-
ice Distracted for a
short Period.

A violent electrical storm visited this To-
cality Tuesday night, continuing until about
. o'clock Wednesday morning, and lame
telephone and telegraph wires flooded
streets and crippled car service resulted
One OF the heaviest rains or the season ac-
companied the storm, the total precipita-
tion being 1.1s inches from the time OF the
beginning Of the storm at 2 a. m until 7
a. m. There were occasional dashes OF bail
with the storm and decided fall in tenn
perature also was noticeable.
Fortunately the wind was not severe, the
spectacular features being the incessant
flashes Of lightning and detonations Of
| thunder. To a very large extent the light
ming confined its work to the clouds. and
but one or two instances Of damage are
thus far reported from lightning in this
immediate locality outside the city limits.
A barn up near Miller park was struck by
lightning and was burned to the ground.
Another barn located a snort distance
southwest of the city met a similar fate.
the essential damages in both cases being
confined to the destruction Of the edhces
and their contents of hay. Both fires were
beyond the city fire limits and the fire de-
partment did not respond TO the calls.
Rain in Torrents.
For about an hour, between and
/ o'clock, the downpour was terrific and the
| streets consequently we're veritable rivers.
The country roads are in bad shape The
rain was apparently the heaviest in the
| southwest part OF the city. The rain has
been the means Of suspending building op-
| erations where there were unprotected ex-
| cavations until the waters can be pumped
| out.
| The rain was confined to eastern Ne
braska and western Iowa, the heaviest pre-
oipitation being here at Omaha. At Clarinda,
Ia, the precipitation was .sS of an inch,
and there was corresponding precipitation
| down as far as Ashland. Very little rain
| was reported from the western part of the
| state and the storm seems to be shifting
eastward with a prospect of the continu-
| ance of showery conditions in this locality
for Wednesday night and possibly into
| Thursday
Light to heavy frosts are reported in the
upper Mississippi valley and upper lake
| regions, with temperatures ranging from
10 to Il degrees lower than Tuesday morn
| ing.
| The storm came from the west and north
| west. The temperature here at Z O'Clock
| Wednesday morning was so.
