Another Horror In Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, October 19.-Mail
advices from Japan give an account Of a
tidal wave, In which nearly 1900 persons lost
their lives, and about 1000 houses were
washed away. On September 1lth, the same
day Yokohama was so damaged by a ty-
phoon, violent wind and rainstorm set in
at Hazugun and Aichiken. By , O'Clock the
sea had risen several feet above ordinary
high tide, and just after nightfall the waves
mounted to great height, washing away
the embaDkments and levelling the buildings
near the shore. Shortly afterward a wave,
10 feet higher than the highest of those that
had preceded it, rolled in with great roar,
washing away the remaining portions Of the
embankment, and carrying with 1t nearly all
the houses Of the various villages along the
beach. This was done so suddenly and un-
expectedly that the inhabitants had not time
to escape.
