OUT-STATION REPORTS.
Despite the severity of yesterday's typhoon, during which a wind fores of 120 miles an hom was registered, there was very little outward evidence of the storm this morning, thank to the speedy manner in which fallen trees, debris, etc., had been cleared up.
Observatory reports show that the typhoon probably entered the const near Mucao yesterday afternoon and filled up rapidly, as it was not indicated this morning. So far, on news of damage done has been received,
In Hongkong, shipping fared worst of all, although the report received from the Harbour Offleé, during the height of the storm, that the Tyndarens and the Apney had gone ashore, happily proved incorrect. Both ships, however, had an anxious tipne.

The river steamers Tai Lee and On Lee Look refuge in the typhoon shelter at Yaumati, but both received considerable, damage, their superstructure being completely wrecked.
The Aberdeen fishing fleet was out when the typhoon passed close to the Colony, but so far no nows has been received as to how the boats fared. Some anxiety is feit for their safety.
