Fuller DEATHS Received of the Great
Japanese Tidal Wave.
VICTORIA, b. c., July 2.-Additional
month have been received by the
steamer Braemer from Yokohama.
The adyices are to June %, and show
that the disaster was probably the
most fearful of modern times. The
death list has been greatly augmented
since last adviccs and will probably 60
far beyond fifty thousand. Distress
among the survivors of the terrible
visitation is appalling. Thousands OF
injured are dying from lack of medical
assistance and many are upon the
verge of starvation. The wave origin
ated not far from the Japanese coast
and appears to have visited an extent
of over 300 miles of the coast line
Even IN Hokaido it wrought destruc-
ton. The most southerly limit of its
ravages appears to have been just
little north of the famous archipelago
of Matsushima. Had the wave inn
pinged upon the coast south of Rink
asas, it would have worked ruin among
the towns and villages of this region,
but it missed the promontory and be-
gan its devastation with the villages
OF Unagawa and Olsachi, situated
across the neck of the peninsula.
Fourteen thousand, seven hundred and
ninety people were killed in Miyas Gil
prefecture and in the Iwate prefecture
22,1s6 persisted, and ,ai4 were injured,
making total forthe two procedures of
1855 killed and 1,244 injured. 4 dis
patch from Morika says that over GO, 900
people were either killed or injured by
the wave. In Keseu, in the district Of
Iwate, one town and eleven villages
were destroyed and 6,oo0 people per-
ished. In Miuami Hei district three
towns and eight villages were over
whelmed, 5,Gs7 persons being drowned
