A' typhoon of terrific velocity swept through the central portion of the Philippine group, sweeping part, of the Island of Samar, northern Leyte, southeastern Luzon, northern Tansy, Mashate and part of Romblon. The typhoon disappeared In the China sea, moving In a direction west by northwest. Wires are prostrated and available details of the damage done are meagre. It Is evident, however, that serious disaster followed in the wake of the sudden storm. A telegram from a town in Masbato reports that every building in the place was razed, with the single exception of the postal building. A dispatch received from Romblon says that the typhoon caused a great loss of property and that undoubtedly many persons have been killed. g Coast In Danger of Bubonic PI Washington.
