Manila.-Belated reports indicate
that the storm of October IL

The official figures are not yet

three hundred.
There was a heavy typhoon and tor
rental rains throughout the valleys
and mountains. The rivers were food

height of thirty feet sweeping every
thing before them in their path to the
sea. Hundreds of animals and houses
were swept away by the waters.
At Apparri, which was almost COM

residents headed by Lieutenants
Treadway and Clark, Postmaster Foss

to have come to an end. Ffty-five

over a period of thirty hours, two
are classified as Strong" nine as
"percepitable," and the rest as mic
r~oseismic." Telegraphic reports from
various sections of the island show
that the disturbances were most
strongly felt on the east coast of
Luzon, but no damage is reported.
Experts express the belief that the
focus Of the whole disturbance is
located in the Pacific ocean close to
the coast of Luzon.
