SIOO Damage Caused By Fire Thursday A chimney fire in the home of ■ Paul Hodle, 949 Harrison street, Thursday afternoon caused an estimated $lO9 damage before being extinguished by city firemen. SLAYERS QF (Cont. From Page One) there was no large-scale fighting yet. It was to Bongabon that the survivors fled after the ambush yesterday. Brig. Gen. Al'icto Ramos, commander of the constabulary, flew to Cabanatuan airport to inspect the mountainous, wooded scene of the search, but was called back to Manila later for a cabinet meeting to discuss the ambtfsh. The Neuvacija provincial constabulary commander, Lt. Col. Angel Magallanes, said he had received information that the band which attacked the Quezon party totalled 300 under a notorious Bukbalahap commander known as “Viernes" (Spanish for “Friday"). In Manila, thousands unable to gain entrance stood silently outside Holy Rosary church on Santo Thomas university grounds during a 20-minute funeral service for Mrs. Quezon. The funeral procession took two hours to travel the three miles to the cemetery. Roads along the way were lined with Filipinos who had stood for hours to pay their last respects to the woman who was known affectionately as “Mother, of the Philippines Republic.’’ The virtue of parents is a great dowry. ... n A.
