A DAY OF HORROR.
Typhoon and Torrential Rains Bring
Death to Three Hundred.

Manila.--Belated reports indicate
that the storm of October ~ in the
Cagayan valley was the worst and
most destructive within the memory
of living inhabitants of the valley.
The official figures are not yet

been heard from, but it seems certain
that the number of deaths will reach
800.
There was a heavy typhoon and
torrential rains throughout the val
ley and in the mountains.
Rivers were flooded and many
places rose to height of thirty feet,
sweeping everything before them in
their rush to the sea. Hundreds of
animals and houses were swept away
by the waters.
At Apart, which was almost COM
pletely under water, the American
residents, headed by Lieutenants
Treadway and Clark, Postmaster
Foss and Engineer Clark, formed a
rescue brigade. which rescued scores
of natives. taking many off their
houses while floating down the river.

ENGLAND IS NOW FACING
MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM
Hundreds OF Thousands Of People on

Of Lack Of Work.

London.--The very serious matter
of the unemployed in England came
up for discussion in the house OF
commons Wednesday afternoon, but q
larger dole of money than last year
and the expediting OF the naval ship
building program were the only ex.
pedients proposed by Premier AS.
quith in his unfolding of the govern

The gravity of the case arising from
the fact that hundreds of thousands
are on the verge of starvation through
lack of work was fully recognized by
the premier, but he could not under
take, in the legislative field, to crap
pie with the permanent causes there
of until the next session.
The government, he said, was pre-
pared to provide fund of $1,500,00
to help the unemployed and the ad-
miralty was giving out orders for the
construction of nine torpedo boat de-
stroyers and five unarmored cruis.

the war Office was ready to take on
$4,000 men for the winter training in
the special reserves.
The proposal quite fails to meet
the demands of the labor members OIL

JAPs' ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME.
Extraordinary Scene in Toxic as Re-
suit Of Emperors Orders.

Tokio.-The capital of Japan wit
messed Thursday night the most ex.
traordinary evidence of the spirit of
the new Japan. After his audience
with the officers of the American bat
tleship fleet on Tuesday, the emperor
issued an order directing the people
TO increase in every way possible the
enjoyment, comfort and pleasure Of
the American visitors who came, he
said, as historic friends Of the Jap
anese nation. The response to this
imperial mandate was seen and heard
Thursday night. Originally a torch
light procession of $4,000 people was
planned as part of the days program,
but this feature went far beyond eX-
lectations and developed one of the
greatest popular demonstrations and
Cutpourings of an enthusiastic people
ever witnessed in any country. Japan's
war celebrations after peace5 with
Russia, London's "Mafeking Night"
and even New Yorks election night
revel would seem almost insignificant
compared with Tokio's celebration of
Thursday night. 1t would be impos-
fible to estimate the number of peo-
pie who took part in the parade and
the myriads of spectators.
Admiral Sperry and the other chief
officers of the American fleet viewed
the procession from a special stand,
standing with barred heads above the
sea of waving lanterns, the deafening
ioar of cheers and the clash of the
music from scores Of bands which
played the American national hymn
continuously. So dense became the
crowds around the stand where the
American officers stood that the en-
tire procession was blocked until Ad'
miral Sperry was forced to leave 10
