JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
GREAT CALAMITY.
Nearly 10000 People Killed and 44o, 900
Rendered Homeless and Destitute.
Horrible Scenes in the Devastated
Districts Relief Funds Forwarded.

VANCOUVER, 3. c., Dec. 2.-Advices
from Japan by the Empress OF China
bring later news of the effect of the
earthquake OF October 28th. Official in
formation now places the number OF
killed at 1866 and injured at 10, ,12l. with
50, ,629 buildings wholly and 2S,626
partially destroyed. Over 440, 900 peo-
pie have been rendered homeless and
destitute. IA
Many curious freaks Of the earthquake
have been noticed. In one place fis-
sure swallowed up far persons, whose
hair remained visible, but whose rescue
proved to be impossible.
Fortunately the weather remains
mild. Rain or cold weather would
cause terrible distress.
Decent burial has been given to most
of the bodies recovered from the ruins
in the larger towns, but horrible scenes
are yet presented in the country, where
the people are unable to inter their
dead.
Foreigners have come forward gener-
ously with gifts of money, cloth
ing, medicine, etc. Twenty thou
sand dollars has been contributed by
the foreign residents, exclusive OF the
Chinese fund, which is large. Shanghai
has sent $4,000, and $4,000 has been
raised in various ways in Toxic. In
addition to these sums the Japanese
government has made grant of
SO, ,225, 900 to the two procedures that
suffered most severely.

would be no more riots and destruction

Hunanese manifesto declares that for

Gated to the use of the Chinese,
LII Hung Chang, the correspondents says,
has diverted the feet to some point on
the pretext of inspection, and never sent
a vessel near the Yang-tse during the
outbreak. The main cause OF the out
break against the foreign missions still
continues unchecked, for filthy and
lying publications have not been
stopped. These had been issued from
six pawn shops, but the offenders had
all purchased the mandarin rank, and the
magistrate in his report to the viceroy
exonerated the real offenders and threw
the blame on suppositious dead men.
The correspondent concludes: The HUI
nanese are certainly defiant, and
they will not be effectually curbed until
part OF the province is opened to for
eign trade, whether they like it or not.
There would be no difficulty in opening

that they cannot defy the strength of
