City Of kagOshima. Japan, De-
stroyed by Eruption
THREE TOWNS WIPED OUT
Stream Of Burning Lava Ruries Hun
dreds Of Houses in kiushIu-ca-
tastrophs Most Disastrous
Since Mt. Peiee Eruption.

Toxic, Japan.-The city of Kagoshi-
ma, with $4,000 inhabitants, was to-
tally destroyed by a food Of fire from
the Sahurashima volcano.
The three villages on the island of
Sakura were blotted out by the mol
ten lava which poured from the crater.
and $1,000 persons persisted there.
Nearly 100, 900 persons are dead in
the greatest y~olcanis disaster since
the destruction of st. Pierre by the
eruption of Mont Pelee.
While the fact that millions Of peo-
pie were suffering the agonies of hun
ger and thousands were dying of star
walton has been regarded here with
comparative indifference, the people
were galvanized into excitement by
the disaster in the south, which, be-
cause Of its spectacular character,
awakened the imagination.
The whole volcanic range Of kin
shiu burst into dangerous activity
with startling s~uddenness after having
been ~Quiescent for more than a CEN
fury. Kagoshima was obliterated ex-
actly as ancient Pompeii was en-
quilted by the flaming ashes pouring
from Vesuvius.
According to dispatches received
here from Mitoyoshi the main loss Of
life was apparently on the island of
Sakura. After having been dormant
for 100 years the volcano without
warning burst into activity and poured
destruction OF the villages on it's
slopes and base.
Many of the islanders fastened to
the mainland, a couple of miles away,
abandoning their homes in terror, but
by far the greater number had no time
to escape.
The whole mountain seemed to split.
New craters opened up in a score Of
places and lava and blazing ashes
came down the slopes, igniting every
thing In their path until the entire is
land vas a mass of flame.
The inhabitants of the western slope
Of the mountain were most affected
Dy Tie uISC GAplUSlUuS. Inc SURVIVORS
ran to the beach in a frenzy as the
flames swept down the mountain side
to their village. The people focked to
the beach opposite them to the main
land. The police of K~agoshima APP
propriated all the available craft in
the harbor there and FASTENED t lend
aid to the stricken islanders.
AS the boats sped to the island the
heat was intense and the flames adj
vanced to the beach so rapidly that
hundreds of persons were doomed be-
fore the rescuers could reach the is
land, as the burning lava overlook
them before the eyes of the men hast
ening to give them aid.
1t was not until three-quarters of an
hour after the first eruption that the
summit of the cone began to hurl
forth lava and rocks. The fiery mat.
ter leaped to an immense height
through dense volumes of smoke.
Reports from other sources say that
a tidal wave swept over the city and
all in its path persisted.
