10000 BUILDINGS
BURNED IN OSAKA
Japanese City's Fire Loss so Heavy
Ii viii Wreck Some Insur-
anCe Companies.

Osaka Japan, Aug. 2.-Confusion
still prevails here as result of Sat
urday disastrous fire. Thousands
of persons are homeless and hunger
is staring many of them in the face.
A system of relief has been or
ganized by the municipal authorities.
but 1t is Inadequate to supply all
needs. Outside cities and towns are
generously sending in contributions
to be used in alleviating the suffer
ings of the homeless and destitute.
The number of casualties has not
yet been determined, but hundreds
of injured persons are crowding the
hospitals.
The latest estimates are that 90
900 buildings were destroyed, these
including banks, the stock exchanges
the museum, government edifices and
factories. While at present it is inn
possible accurately to state the losses
these are given roughly at several
million yen. 1t is feared that some
of the insurance companies will fail
as a result of the heavy losses they
will have to pay.
The confiagration lasted more than
90 hours.
