The disaster that overlook the island On

the people Of that district immense loss
in lives and property. The steamship
America Maru, which arrived yesterday
from the Orient brought advicse from
Ceram and reports that 5000 people
were destroyed on that island alone
when the dreadful earthquakes Of Nov
embsr shocked tho Japan coast and agi
tated the lands adjacent to the empire.
On the night Of the second the people
of Ceram we're awakened by a terrific
from north to south Everyone fled
from their houses and took up places in
the public square. A few hours later it
was reported that the water was rising
in the bay Of Ambonia. The sea came
forward in the shape OF huge tidal
wave and forced the water into the bay
entrance. 1t came up hfty feet over the
lowlands.
At Pauholy and Samasosroa, on the
bay, the wave swept over tho tops Of
trees thirty feet high. Out Of nearly
5000 inhabitants only forty escaped.
The whole coast for miles was trans
formed into huge mud puddle.
Corpses were everywhere. Broken
trees and portions Of houses were buried
in the ooZe.
Every few rods were great Jumps Of
stones and boulders that had been wash
ed up from the sea, changing the entire
Topography OF the country. The exact
nun ber killed along the coast will never
be known, as the corpses are in many
cases yards under the new ground. At
Hatoesia, out of five hundred people one
hundred killed and forty wounded.
The balance escaped to the hills, where
the shock of the earthquake was first

BRITISH REPULsE.

London-Each important battle seems
to bring a worse reverse for the British
and the papers this morning sorrowfuliy
admit that Lord Methuen's check at
Magersfontein is the most serious event
the war has yst produced.
The Morning Post says:
1--WE have had our day Of humiliation
appointed for us. Let us accept it hum
bly, and soberly and be better and
stronger for the lesson it has taught US.
This last reverse will make us the fresh
butt OF Europe. There never was =
more apt occasion to show to Europe
what we are WORTH
Tho position Lord Methusn assaulted
is thus described by a correspondent:
The Magersfountein range terminates
on the east with an abrupt saddle rock,
some $50 feet high. The Boer entrsnch-
ments run around the whole front. Pheir
position some two miles long 10 due east
and west. To tho western end the
trenches follow the contour Of the kop-
jes and afford retreat"
1t is estimated that Lord Methuen's
forces numbered II 900 or more. No re-
liable estimate Of his losses has yet been
received.
All the papers comment upen tho ex
trsme gravity Of tho situation and upon
the momentous decision Lord Msthusn
has to make whether to remain at Mod
der river or retire on Orange river.

Kimberly remained quiet during the
battle at Magersfontsin.
