MANY KILLED

In Manila Storm

Manila, April 9. Reports from the country over which the typhoon raged Sunday. delayed because of the interrup- tion of communications, show that the loss of life and property was very much more severe than at Arst appeared.

Instead uf four killed' in the Philippine Islands, it is now stated that at least thirty-three have perished and many more have been seriously injured in Samar Island, where the typhoon struck" with greatest intensity.

The entire population of Boron- gan, numbering 21,000, is home less.

It is feared that later reports will show that the storm's casual- ties are even more extensive than at present known.— fester.
