count of the affair

the forts, and 1000 additional troops were landed
by the OSdca. The enemy left 100 killed on the
ground, and 20 wounded prisoners.
On the afternoon of June 9th a sharp shock of an
earthquake was felt at Yokohama. 1t was the
most severe experienced in years-the vibrations
being so great that chandeliers swung like pendu-
lums and even clocks were stopped. Little damage
was done.
The Japan Gazette gives the following additional
particulars Of the attack on Hakodadi on the 9th of
June: The Imperialists commenced operations
against the place, and in the teeth of the most
deadly fire from a strongly posted foe, they adj
succeeded in reaching and taking a fort that was
the advanced post of Tokagawa men. They entered

post, they left at 5 o'clock in the morning. The
fort was commanded by Capt, Brunei and the
Japanese commandments The latter was
killed. After the fort was taken Capt Brunei did
all he could to encourage the defenders but they
would not stand any longer, and made good their
retreat to the next fortified station. Both sides
suffered frightfully. An eye witness describes it
to us as butchery but it was genuine Sighting.

The attacking party were materially aided by the
feet. which sent shells right into the midst of the
enemy, and did more than anything else to demon
alize them. Capt. Brunei. when he sawsthe de-
termined advance of the enemy. in spite OF the
havoc that was made in his ranks by the fire of the
Tokagawa men, and the manner in which the latter
lost heart on the bursting of a shell in the fort,
which killed the Japanese General, said that he
saw at once that they would soon yield the Kamida
fort and the town of Hakodadi itself.
