Many Homeless After Big Fire
Twenty persons lost their lives when fire destroyed a large sawmill in Cadiz, Philippine Islands, and made more than five thousands homeless. The damage has been estimated at $2,500,000. Flames spread with great rapidity from the sawmill to the adjacent filmsy houses of the natives. The Filipinos gathered what little personal possessions they could save and camped on the outskirts of Cadiz awaiting aid.
The sawmill was the property of the Insular Lumber Company, one of the largest in the Philippines.
