Un the 26th ult., Manila experienced almost the full force of a typhoon, the, contre of which passed within fifteen miles of the city. The suddenness of th storm found everyone unprepared, as the signal had only beau hoisted at 6 s.m., and the typhoon was at its worst-by 2 pin. with the result that the damage caused was considerably more than. it might otherwise have been. On shore the extent of the, loss has beau estimated at $1,000,000, gold. The quartermaster's and all the large buildings along the water front wore rendered roofless, while every nipa building (matshed) around the city was entirely raised to the ground. As-a result. of this the native flocked to the churches and theatres for refuge, and these buildings were packed that night more than they had ever been during regular hours of attendance.
During the height of the storm the wires of the nowly-opened. electric tramway wore broken, and the current crouted sad havoc, killing 20 or 26 people before the connections could be cut off. Cars were left stationary all over the city, windows in many houses were blown in and smashed, and. trees were snapped like matches and thrown across. the thoroughfares.
