EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
accompanied by n Tidal Wave, That Cost
"a Thousand Lives and General Devasta-

tton.
YOKOHAMA, June 1s.-News of a ter
rible disaster, involving the loss of
over thousand lives, has reached
here from the island of Yesso. which
contains the northern provinces of
Japan, including Shirebeshe, Oshima,
Furi, llitaka, Tokachi, Ishikari. Kir-
shire, Teshiwo, Kitami and Nemoro.
All these sections of the island seem
to have been more or less shaken.
The subterraneous disturbance lasted
about twenty hours, and during that
period the utmost terror prevailed.
The ground rumblings are described as
resembling the roaring of distant cam
non.
Shock followed shock in almost un-
interrupted succession about every
eight minutes. In all. it is estimated.
there were $50 shocks of more or less
force.
The awful series OF earthquake
shocks were accompanied by a tidal
wave, and it is believed that il was
this on-rush Of giant wave from the
sea which practically wiped out the
town of Kumaishi. which is situated
toward the Japan sea. on a narrow
neck of land separating it from Vol
cano bay on the Pacific side of the
island.
The island of Yesso has in the past
had several similar visitations. and con-
tains number of active and extinct
volcanoes, and the amount of DAMAGE
done is far in excess of the figures con.
tanned in the brief official dispatch. A
full official report of the great calam-
itty has been asked for and is expected
shortly. 1t is feared that disasters IN
shipping must also have resulted from
the tidal wave.
