YOKOHAMA. Oct 29.-There have been terrific
earthquakes along the southern coast Of
Nippon tHondoA the principal island Of Japan.
The shocks were most severely felt at osaks
and at Kobe where most Of the foreign mer.
chants OF the Port Of Hioeo have their homes.
The shocks traversed the island in . westerly
direction along the shores Of the Bay OF Osaka,
at the head Of which Hioeo II situated.
These two suburbs Of Hioeo Osaka and
Kobel which are connected By railroad. and
whose houses are mostly lightly built. have
suffered considerable damage. Hundreds Of
houses have been destroyed. but the extent OF
the fatalities is still unknown and may remain
so for some time to come. owing to the de.
struction OF the telegraph lines. It Is known.
however. that. In addition to the loss referred
to. there has been considerable damage done
along the coast.

John Kans. the 1s-yesr old burglar. who
with some other boys broke into St Jamee's
Catholic Church In Jay street Brooklyn. on
the night Of Sept "a and was arrested. has
escaped from Raymond street jail. He was
convicted Of burglary In tho third degree last
week. and was In the jail awaiting sentence
Il was on Wednesday that he skipped away
from the big granite prison In Raymond street.
How he got out In matter Of conjecture. but
his escape resulted apparently from gross
negligence on the part Of the keepers
On Wednesday morning Kane. ss usual. left
his cell. which was "a in the middle tier. and
with the other prisoners went to the lower tier
to wash. It was the duty Of Keeper John
Brennan. who was then In charge. to see that
all the prisoners, rs soon as they had washed
themselves. were safely relocked In their cells.
The rule Is that the keeper must call out each
prisoners name and see him face to face be-
fore the cell door Is relocked. This was. evil

The cells on this tier are not locked during the
day. and the prisoners are allowed to roam
through the lower corridor at will. Wednesday
was visiting day. and between nnd 2H o clock
probably 2OO men and women called to soc
prisoners In whom they we're interested. Each
male visitor receives pass before entering
the main prison and must return Il on going
out The rule is not enforced In the case OF
women. and 1t is supposed that young Kane
may have dressed himself in woman's clothes
which had been smuggled into the prison and
walked of with the retiring visitors without
attracting attention. A he was slight-built.
smooth-faced young man. he might easily
have carried out this neat little piece fdecep-
ton. 1t Is just possible, however. that he man
aged somehow to get hold OF q duplicate. pass.
and. presenting It at tho gate. succeeded In
concealing his identity and hustled himself

whatever that Brennan in any way connived at

Young Kane was brought up in st. James's

The officers and crew OF the NaIade have
won the admiration Of all their visitors during
the past ten days by the truly wonderful way
in which they keep house. The Nafade is not
attractive from the outside. but the sight Of
her polished guns and brasswork. her
scrapod floors and spotless woodwork makes
the interior delightful. Yesterday morning her
five hundred sailors were stirring so early and
so husiy that before noon the Na1ade was no
longer recognizable.
The main deck and the quarter deck were
covered with awnings. and these awnings
were met at their outer edges by other avn
ings fastened to the rail Thus the vessel was
rooted with cloth. and looked rather unsightly
from the shore But this cloth was lined with
flags. portieres Of fngs were at the head Of the
gangway. cannon and stands Of arms were ar
ranged about the clear space aft. flags were
draped over the butts OF the cannon that peer
through the portfolios. fags national and
naval were put wherever q flag would look
we'll. By this arrangement the quarter deck
was changed into handsomely decorated
ballroom, with plenty OF space for a dozen
couples to dance in.
