The officers of the Manila state that the barometer readings. indicated that the steamer was very close to the centre of the typhoon.

The visits paid by the Government yacht Seestern and the Garman worships and the landing of largo detachments of military and native police from the Bismarck Archipel- ago greatly impressed the antives of Ponape.
it was subsequently ascertained, however, on arrival at Simpsonsbafen, in New Britain, that the German watship Comder was shortly to be despatched on anulber visit to the Caro- lines. Condor and the Jaguar were in port at | Simpsonshafen when the Manila called.
Matters were reported to be extremely quiet both at Friedrich Wilhelmsbafen, in German New Guinea, and at Simpsonahafon, in New. Britain. The little communities were very prosperous, and it was reported on all bands that the export trade was being very rapidly developed. As evidence of this fact, a ship meat of 3,500 bags of copra was waiting on the wharf at Simpsonshafen for the Manila to be transhipped at Sydney for the Continent,
