The Japan Famine Report to the State
Department.

Washington, Feb. I3.--Conditions Of
famine exist in some of the northern
provinces of Japan which have not been
equalled since the disastrous scarcity of
food in 1870. The state department has
received adyices concerning the condi-
tions In the affected provinces, and an
official despatch from one of the con.
slIlar Offices at Yokohoma has been made
public foi the purpose of letting the
american public know the extent Of the
suffering.
The conditions are regarded as ex-
tremely serious, and great efforts are
being made to furnish relief TO the suf-
ferers. The primary cause of the fam
inc is the failure of the rice crop in
the provinces Of Miyagi, Kukushima and
Iwata These three districts have u
population Of 2,s21,55T. According to
reports, thousands OF people are living
on roots and leaves, sometimes mixed
with a small quantity Of rice or -four,
when it Is possible to secure either flour
on rice. Many others are using q -four
made by grinding aeorns. BY some pro-
cess the bitterness Is removed A com.
mittee was appointed from the foreign
communities OF Sendal to make an inves-
tigation of conditions. This committee
made u report that in a population of
s99,27 at least 100000 are in extreme
distress, with no possibility OF saving
life without aid The official statements
made by the Japanese government at
Toxic, it is declared do not show entirely
the terrible conditions in the provinces
mentioned, and the suffering the people
must endure until the new crops are har-
vested. This means the people must be
in want not only for the remainder of
the winter, but also through the spring
months.
