TYPHOON STRIKES

PHILIPPINES.

HEAVY DAMAGE ON FOURTEEN TOWNS.

Manila, Apr. 20, The east coast of the island of Leyte was swept on April 18 by a destructive off-season typhoon,

Fourteen towns were hit, and Tolosa and Dulag are reported to have been virtually demolished, thousands being homeless. The number of deaths or injuries are not ascertainable.

"Please secure immediate for a thousand homeless people, especially food, clothing

and building materials."

The typhoon was of small area, but of unusual intensity, surpris- ing the Weather Bureau at thorities, as typhoons never occur at this time of the year in the direction of the Philippines.

The Leyte Governor's message describes the coconut trees in the devastated areas as standing like candles with the tops blown off. The crops have been completely destroyed, and many towns are flooded by heavy rain accompany- ing the storm. Many places have not reported, the wires being down and communications cut off.

It is feared that the death toll is large. Reports will not be com- plete until about a week's time.

Tokyo, Apr. 19. Owing to the rejection by the Municipality of a demand for the decision to reduce the bonus to be revoked the Tramwaymen and Busmen's Union has issued in- structions for a general atrike throughout the city starting to- morrow (Sunday).

In reply to his Worship, Mr Nelson said that he thought the remedy was to allow the pointers to run about loose at nights. He had personally visited the defer- dant's place to observe the animals at nights.

Questioned by his Worship as to whether he had tried to remedy the nuisance, the defendant said that he had tried to keep them from barking. His Worship com mented that dogs could not be kept from barking.

His Worship remarked that the defendant had to have some con-1 sideration for his neighbours. Kej could not keep them awake be cause he was a dog fancier.

In reply to his Worship, the de- fendant intimated that he pleaded not guilty to the-summons.
