What appeared to be tidal wave was
observed by Sergeant Harris 4t Oid

The strip Of land which sid into the bay
was from 30 To- 800 Yards long, and from
60 to 20 feet wide.
Iater-ln ne CaNe-m Of the Northern
Pacific railways waterfront property Is
found to-day to be much more disastrous
and attended with much more loss Of
life than was at first supposed. The
length of the strip which caved in Is
about 400 feet. and the damage done
extends back In places 100 feet The
ground is all made, that Is, filed in, and
composed Of loose rock earth and debris
of all kinds. This has never had any

the recent heavy rains have undermined

This is the generally accepted theory as
to the cause of il. The whole water front

what is called the mosquito feet" made
up of small craft Many of these vessels
have disappeared and thus far no trace
of them has been found Many OF the
boats served as sleeping apartpents for
their owners and for this reason it is
thought several lives have been lost be-
sides those of Hanson, the watchman,
and Emma Stubbs. the ffteen-yeaT-old
step-daughter OF III. Il. Alger.
An estimate Of damages TO property IS
hard to give, but il will be over sJ0.000
Much freight some of II perishable was
standing on the wharves and stored in
the warehouses, which collapsed. Some
Of this merchandise can be readily re-
covered, but most Of IL will prove a total
loss. small army Of wOrEmen are al

as follows:
Details of the fall of Port Arthur are
now beginning to arrive. The number
of Chinese killed in the engagement
was about 1000, most of whom were

there were further excessive slaughter
OF Chinese, although II would have been
excusable, in consequence OF mutilation
and torture OF Japanese soldiers. are
absolutely denied by the japanese Of
flcers in command. During the attack
upon Port Arthur a large force of Chinese
from Foo Chow and beyond Kin Chow
attacked the latter place, but the Japa-
nese garrison repulsed them after severe
lighting with heavy loss TO the Chinese,
