VICTORIA, B. G., Jan. 81
lnlRIVATE advlces received by the
~ Empress of Japan gives fuller
particulars of the earthquake on
u the Misterous territory north of
the Himalays, where Shoolak. the Bud
dhist god incarnate, reigns supreme
over the hearts Of the Thibetans. Ow-
ing to the extreme remoteness of the
country, information of the tremend.
Gus disaster had only just reached the
coast when the Empressof Japan sailed
for America The viceroy of Szechuan
Lou, Ping Chang, who represents the
civil authority of China in the dis
tresSed territory has made public ap-
peal for succor, and in his memorial
says that the grand monastery of Nue.
lyuan and Kemis, the nome of Bud
dhism, is in ruins, and seven small
lamasaries are buried in the wreck OF
the former.
Eight hundred and fifty houses be.
longing to native Thibetan soldiers,
and occupied by them and their families
met the same fate. Seventy-four Lsma
priests and 1870 Chinese aud Thibetans
made up the roll Of those whose bodies
had heen found and identified There
were also many scores of unidentified
corpses while the missing are legion.
THOUSANDS WERE KILLED.
The total fatalities will probably
reach into the thousands. Upward of
400 were mOrtally wounded, but were
still alive when the memorial left the
Viceroy. The distress caused through
out Thibet by the shock is beyond ex-
aggeration. Famine threatens the land
and the cry for bread is to all creeds
and to all people The greatest misfor.
tune Of all, however, is to the minds of
all devout Buddhists, that which has
befallen their sacred head-the holy
Shoolhak. He is among the missing
from Lhassa where the monastery of
Kemis was, and the circumstances, al
though zealOusly guarded by the faith
full for fear that knowledge of it might
render asunder the entire fabric of the
ancient faith, is rapidly spreading
through all the eastern lands where
Buddhism is the religion of the masses.
The outcome is beyond calcul alton.
The shrine is q heap of ruins and the
holy one missing from the earth. The
Lama monasteries Of Huelyuan and
Kemis are situated in the heart of the
civilized portion of Thibetand. For
ages the latter has been the seat of
Buddhism proper. The monastery Of
KemiS was built it is believed, about
one thousand years before Christ Its
great, gloomy pile, it was thought,
would stand until the end of time.
