Telegraphic reports from Catbalogan, Samar, where the storm first struck, say that "a terrific typhoon passed over Samar this morning blowing, destructively for six hours), The town suffered considerable loss in property." The Government buildings were also sévérály damaged but all important official documents were saved. No lives were lost and oule a few persons slightly injured..

WEALTHY HONGKONG LANDOWNER VICTIMIZED.
A somewhat remarkable story of how a well;. known Hongkong landowner was dragged and afterwards robbed is now occupying the aftan." tion of the police.
The details are somewhat meagre, but the main facte appear to be these. Some time, last Friday a certain Chinaman, who shall be nameless at this stage, was invited by two mis to a certain house in Stanción Street to. discuss a certain business proposition. It was stated that the landowner was invited to this house to talk over the price of a house which 'he wanted to buy. While seated round the table discussing the matter, refreshments were produced, which were offered to the visitor. The rest was a blank. That the landowner lost consciousnars after drinking a cup of tea is, what he alleges. When be recovered an hour ar so later he discovered that he was slons and something like $2,000, which he had in his pocket missing. It is also believed that he was made to sign certain documents, but of this we

The matter was reported to the police at beadquarters and they are inquiring into the matter.
