THE TYPHOON

180 MILES AWAY, HEADING FOR COLONY

According to Manila advices the typhoon of which warnings have been received during the past two days is making towards Hongkong. A Manila Observatory nolifica- tion at 8 o'clock this morning gave its position as about 116 Long, and 20 Lat., moving north-west.

This places the typhoon to the south-west of the Pratas Shoal, about 180 miles from Hongkong. As it is proceeding on a N.W. track, the disturbance appears to be heading straight for the Colony.
