Bandai San Buries Villages Under
Twenty Feet Of Mud.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. I2.-The
steamer City of Sydney arrived this evening
from Hong Kong and Yokohama and brings
Japanese journals with particulars Of the
volcanic eruption of Bandai San on the 10Th
Of July. The details of the catastrophe
come in somewhat disjointedly. The Choya
Chimbun dispatched special alreporter to the
scene. According to his account the villages
around Bandai San heard steady rumbling
and felt shocks of earthquake from the 18TH
These phenomena continued internationally
two days and nights, not.being attended by
any serious result and no great disquiet was
felt. On the morning Of the 18th, at about s
o'clock, the smaller Bandai San tremDled
and roared violently. Almost at once after
wards ashes began to fall and the sky sud-
denly grew black and the rumbling sounds
continued accompanied by violent earth
quake and flare of dazzling flame. The
crest of the smaller Bandai San APP
peared to be lifted badly upwards and then
fall again with a tremendous noise.
Then followed showers of red mud mingled
with large stones, spreading havoc around.
Such, indeed, was the nature of nearly all
the matter erupted. Above the mud fell a
few inches of ashes. In the five villages Of
Iaase, Zozen, Wakamiya, Misat0 and Hibara
the greater part of the houses were burned
to a depth of from seven to twenty feet,
1t is stated that the bodies recovered were
terribly mangled, some being literally cut to
pieces and others parboiled A few of the
corpses were found suspended in the
branches of the trees, which caught them as
they fell The wounded number Al, and so
houses were destroyed.

ME Milllken the Victims.

BAR HARBoR, Aug. 12.-This place Is in
great excitement over the supposed drown
ing Of two young society people, and the
water in the vicinity is covered with craft Of
various kinds engaged in searching for some
trace OF the missing ones. At last night,
Mr. j. Harmon Reed and Miss Milliken took
canoe out with the intention Of padding
around Bar Island. The night was intense
ly dark and one boat house refused to let the
party have canoe. Being alarmed at their
prolonged absence, searchers went out at IL
D. m, and at an early hour this morning the
wharves in the vicinity were crowded with
anxious friends who hoped and waited until
noon when a gun from the steam yacht
"Nooya," belonging to Montgomery Sears,
announced that she bore tidings. She had
picked up the canoe, bottom up, off Egg
Rock, distance Of three miles from here.
The canoe was No. IA, supposed to be the
broadest and staunchghest here. The pad
and deer skin were in the canoe.
Miss Fannie Milliken was guest at St
Sauyeur and chaperoned by Mrs. Van Voor
his. Her parents, who are residents Of New
Orleans, are at Rockland with friends. Her
mother is sister of Ex-U. S. Senator Far
well, OF Maine. She was well known and a
general favorite in society here. Mr. Reed
was the son Of Joel Harmon Reed, one of the
wealthy iron foundry firm of Albany, NY,
and nephew Off Meridith Reed, consul
to Paris under Lincoln and Grant His fam.
ily.occupied the highest social position in
Albany. His mother, two sisters and
brother are guests at the st. Souveur. Hi:
age was 20 years. Hope has been abandoded
although searchers are still out. The friend:
Of the missing persons are going to dral
with trawl, hoping to find the bodies. The
theory generally held Is that the canoe got
in the wake of the Maine Central steamel
Sappho, which came in three hours late. The
darkness was too dense TO permit the partie:
in the canoe to see which way to head it tC
avoid being overwhelmed. A report is afioai
that they were sighted shortly before the
Sappho came in.
