1000 persons were killed. Both at
Osaki and Gifu many pershed. Slight
shocks still continue at Irregular inter
walls. Great assures have appeared in
the ground at many points, rendering the
roads impossible. Travelling in any direc-
ton Is dangerous. Great distress prevails
In the destroyed towns. The Government

by the prevailing panic and the absence of
means OF communication. There was no
loss of EuroDean life, but the business
houses have suffered heavily.
The official estimate says that 1000 lives
were lost, 5000 people were injured and So
600 houses destroyed.
