EARTHQUAKES & VOLCANIC Elk
PLosIoN IN THE PHILIPPINE
ISLANDS -
Grand and Terrible Phenomena.
Telegram TO the New York Herald

Telegram TO the New York Herald
LONDON, July p, 1871.
A terrible earthquake visited the
Philippine islands in the month of
May last. 1t commenced on the
smaIl.island Of Camiguin, five miles
in length, near the island of Misamis.
There has been Il succession of vio-
lent shocks for some months, which
opened several extensive creyices.-
Tremblings of the ground were es-
pecially felt in March, till finally, on
May LIST, the level plain near the
village of Catarmin gradually began
to subside, until the tops of the hou-
ses were on level with the surface
Of the earth. a9@ @ss
A crowd of people were attracted
by curiosity, and remained.sfor sew
eral hours eagerly watching the phe-
nomenon,. when suddenly terrific
shocks, accompanied by laundering
reverbefations, burst upon the island.
The earth was torn asunder and
the whole level PLAN fell in. At the
same time volcano, with crater
fifteen feet wide, which had been for
several days in an unusual state of
activity. broke out into terrible
eruption, sending forth columns Of
white suIphurous smoke and torrents
of lava and boiling water. Masses
of rock were hurled aloft into the
air, columns of fire shot forth and
stones and ashes were thrown up to
the height of thousands of feet
One hundred and fifty persons
were engulfed in the vent which
opened at the base of the Volcano
Several other large openings were
made in the ground, from which pro-
ceeded terrific explosion and jets
Of flame. The explosion, which
sounded like the thunder of heavy
artillery, had lasted for several hours.
Then suddenly there ensued a pause
till dark, when another explosion
broke out. More crevices were
opened, more lava flowed down the
volcano, engulfed houses on its way,
and rushed with a kissing sound into
the sea. Black dust was driven up
and overhung the island like cloud,
and columns of smoke and fire with
brilliant displays of light, continued
to issue from the crater. 1t seemed
literally to rain fire, while strong
exhalations of gas poisoned the air.
The woods caught fire, the men
and cattle flying before the flames,
The spectacle was 'frightful. The
whole village vas destroyed; the
houses either sunk into the ground
or were left shapeless ruins.
The eruption of the volcano still
continues, but all the inhabitants
have left the island. Trcmblings of
the ground were felt all over the
neighboring islands.
The island of Camiguin had until
lately $4,000 inhabitants. 1t pro-
duccd Manila hemp, the quantity of
which amounted to one-tenth OF the
whole quantity grown on the Phil
lippine Islands.

Why CANNOT OTHERS DO LIKE
WISE 1.-The idea is prevalent
throughout the Gulf States, that, in
order to raise Irish potatoes in our
section, the seed must be procured
each year from the North or at least
some cooler climate then our own.
This is very erroneous, Judging from
what we have seen and been told
Yesterday, Mr.. Jake Burrus showed
us in his establishment bushel of
Irish potatoes, each as large as a
mans fist. They had been purchas-
ed of Mr.. Mossman, who has place
in Russell county, Alabama. These
potatoes are in turn successors to
seed which Mr.. Mossman purchased
ten years ago. He preserves seed
from his own crop each season. He
places<such as he wishes to save,
spread out in a dry cellar. IIe says
to raise-hrge potatoes the seed must
be large; but if hill full be desired,
seed afhickory nut size is best. He
has about an acre in Irish potatoes
which>yields one hundred bushels.
ThessSAe sells at 81 90 to 50 40 per
bushel, thus realizing 5000 to $40
to the-acrc This is equivalent to

1t is commonly thought and said that, where
disaster has occurred on any railroad, the af-
fairs ofthat road are conducted with unusual care
and consequent safety for some time after
This rule does seem to hold good in the case of
the Hudson River railroad since the terrible
catastrophe at New Hamburg. Several minor
casualties have already taken place on the road
since that affair, including two collisions, which
fortunately caused no loss of life, although
there was considerable destruction of property.
On Thursday evening an express train ran off
the track not far from Troy, and baggage car
and drawing room car were thrown down an
embankment took fire and were burned up.
The passengers escaped with their lives, but one
of them was seriously burned. Whether it is
true or not, that the railroad company have dis
missed a number of signal men and watchmen
from motives of economy until there are now
too few for safety, the numerous causualities
which have taken place within few days shows
that the management is far from what it should
be. People who object to being wrecked and
burned viii be likely to avoid this road if pos

The .Iapnnese OntraRc.

The assault upon Two Engishmen in the
streets of Yedo, full account of which was
contained in our Geographic news yesterday
has caused great aud, as it appears here, need
less excitement among the foreign communities
in Japan. The English residents, especially
seem to be full of combined rage and terror
They suggest all sorts Of plans for vengeance
One demands that the city should be sacked
another, that the English should demand undel
threats OF bombaTdment heavy pecuniary in
demnity, and that all the wearers of sword;
throughout the empire should be degraded by
being deprived of their weapons. This kind oil
ferocous panic is characteristic of British inter.
course with oriental nations. Instances of it
are numerous in the history of English dealings
with India and China. Insolent and brutal
themselves towards the people of any race which
they think inferior, they regard any act of indi-
vidual retaliation as pretext for taking whole
sale vengence upon the people among whom
the violence was done.
In this case there seems to be not the least
reason TO suppose that the crime was anything
more than an outbreak of personal savagery on
the part of rufians, such as may be found even
in New York and London. The gentlemen were
suddenly assaulted, but their assailants were
not aided by the populace, and when the wound
ed men took refuge in the house of japanese

trating the mystery and arresting the criminals,
the English residents seem determined to believe
that the attack was the signal for the execution
of plot for the general destruction of strangers,
they act as if they were holding their houses
against hostile populace, and openly avow their
intention to kill any japanese on suspicion.
This blind vindictivencss is the more unrea-
sonable, because the gentlemen when assailed
were disregarding one OF the well known regu-
lations Of the Japanese government, and neglect
ing to avail themselves of one of the safeguards
II provides Tor the safety OF foreign residents.
For every foreigner residing in Yedo, guards
are always in attendance, and if strangers
choose to 90 about without their protection, the
government declines to hold itself accountable
