Recent Typhoon.
Lieuts. Clark and Foss Swan
From House to House
With Line-Reports Now
Estimate the Total Loss to
Be Fully 500.
By Associated Press.

Manila, Oct. Traditional details
of the damage wrought in the Cagay
an valley by the typhoOn of October
IL indicate that loss of life in the
disaster will reach 500. At Appari
where thrilling rescue of a hundred
natives was effected through the hero
ism of Lieutenant Robert T. Clark,
Lieutenant Foss, DR.. Treadaway, the
postmaster. the survivors say that 500
residents of the submerged fishing
village, which is located some dis
lance below Appari, were swept away
and drowned.
The Americans, aided by one Fill
pino volunteer, were informed of the
danger that threatened the village
and managed to reach 1t by boat. Ap-
preaching the shore in a series of
short runs between the breakers that
threatened any moment to swamp the
frail craft, the rescuers found scores
of natives clinging to the poles OF
their wrecked nabitations.
Lieutenant Clark and Foss. carry
ing lines from their boat, fought their
way through the breakers and swim
ming from house to house in the FLOOD
water saved the lives of about one
hundred men, women and children. So
thorough was their work that all but
six of those living when the boat
reached the village were saved. The
hat dozen unfortunates I'm question
were swept away by the force of the
water while the Americans We're striv-
ing to reach them More than fifty
bodies were recovered in this locality.
1t is reported that many were drown
ed at Illigan and the town was almost
entirely destroyed.
1t is feared that the storm and the
resulting flood seriously damaged the
tobacco crop of The islands. The prin-
cipal supply and the best quality of
Philippine tobacco is grown in the
Cagayan district where two planta-
tons report serious damage.
Up TO the present time there has
been no communication established
with other sections where the condi-
ton of the crop is of more import.

Brazoo, Makes a
Record.

The new twin-screw steamship Bra

as, has literally smashed all previous

of American coastwise shipping.
Although laboring under the mani
fold disadvantages of an initial trip,
running against the high winds and
hampered by heavy swells left by re.
cent hurricane weather on the coast
the Brazos developed a pace on her
southbound voyage which leaves al:
former speed records and record
breakers SO far astern as to render
them indiscernable upon the horizon
and IS enthusiastically praised in a
telegram from Miss Hally B. Bryan,
the sponsor for this ship who was a
passenger on the first trip, which read
as follows:
-.Brazos swept the seas, passing
everything IN SlSnt, ana mas eStaDllSn
ed herself as queen of the American
coast"
On Thursday morning the Mallory
company received a telegram from
Capt. II. W. Barstow, general superin-
tendent of the line, who also sailed
on the ships initial trip, reading:
'Brazos remarkably successful, has
made good in every respect, excep-
tional seagoing qualities. steady as a
rock, and easily maintained sixteen
and half to seventeen knots speed
