APPALING DISASTER

Hurricane and Tidal Wave Iteraaiated a

San Francisco, Nov. 27. The typhoon
which swept over the Philippine islands
October 6tb, caused one of the worst
disasters reported from the southern
ocean for many years, if not in the his
tory of that section oi the world. Thous
ands of lives were lost, including many
Europeans, and the damage to property
was appaling.
Telegraphic advices concerning the ca
lamity have been Very meagre. The
difficulty of gettiDg news from the
islands at any time is great, and, owing
to the remotenees of some provinces vis
ited by the hurricane, fall details of the
storm did not reach Hcog Kong tilt No.
vember let.''
The steamer Gaelic, from the Orient,
today brought letters and papers which
contain accounts of the ravages of the
tidal wave and wind. Whole towns
were swept or blown away. Fully 500
Europeans were killed, and it is esti
mated that 6,000 natives perished.
The storm tirat struck the island at
the bay of Santa Paula, in the province
of Samar. It devastated the entire
southern portion of the island.
On the 12th, hurricane reached Ley te,
and struck the capital, Tacloban, with
great fury. In less than half an hour
the town was a mass of ruins. The na
tives were panic-stricken. , Four hun
dred of them were buried beneath the
debris of wrecked buildings, and one
hundred and twenty . corpses of Euro
peans were recovered when the native
authorities instituted a search for the
dead. ,
Reports from the southern coast were
received which claim that a score of
small trading vessels and two Sydney
traders were blown ashore and their
crews drowned. 1 '
The sea swept inland nearly a mile,
"destroying property valued at several
million dollars, and causing wholesale
deaths among the natives.
The Philippines are in the range of
the monsoons, and violent hurricanes
are common. The islands, which lie off
the southern coast of 'Asia number 1200
in all, 408 of which are inhabited, The
principal islands are Lyte, Samar, Mas
bate, Luzon, Mindanao and Palawan
The total population is estimated at 7,
' 500,000, and Malays form the greater
part.
The Negritos, or Oriental Negros, are
found mostly in the mountain regions of
the four larger islands. Many Chineese
have also settled in the group.
The islands are of volcanic formation,
traversed by a chain of , mountains from
. north to south, rising in seme of them
to 6,000 feet, with many active volcanos.
The coasts of rrioet of ' the islands are
deeply indented by the sea,, and the
larger islands are well watered by large
I was troubled for a long
time with a sore wrist; some
thing the doctors termed an
open vein. It would break
and the blood would flow in
a stream from it, and I could
find nothing that would heal
it until I tried your Happy
Thought Salve. " A small
quantity healed it up nicely.
In fact it has been well and
showed no signs of breaking
tor over three months, so I
feel it has done perfect work.

The high temperature and abundance
of moisture produce a luxuriant vege
tation. The chief manufacture is Ma
nilla cigars.
Three seasons are usually recognized,
a cold, a wet and a hot. The first . ex
tends from November to February or
March, when the sky is ' for the most
part clear and the atmosphere bracing.
The hot season lasts from March to
June, and the rain comes down in tor
rents during July, August, September
and October.
Earthquakes are sufficiently frequent
to affect the style adopted in the erec
tion of buildings. In 1874 they were
very numerous throughout the archipel
ago, and in Manilla shocks were felt
daily lor many weeks. . the most vio-
lrnt earthquakes on record in the Phil
ipines occurred in July, 1880, when the
destruction of property was immense,
both in the capital and other important
towns id central Luzon.
The three-year-old boy of J. A. John
son, of Lynn Center, 111., is eubject to
attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says
he is sure that the timely use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, during a se
vere attack, saved his boy's life. He is
in the drug business, a member of the
firm of Johnson Bros.,ot that place, and
they handle a great many patent med
icines for throat and lung diseases. He
had all those to select from, and skilled,
physicians to answer to his call, but se
lected this remedy for use in his own
home at a time when his boy's life was
in danger, because he knew it to be su
perior to any other, aud famous the
country over tor its cures of the croup.
Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling
cough medicine; they handle, and that
gives splendid satisfaction in all caees.
