opinion that all had persisted.

FLEE LAVA AGAIN
TWO ERUPTloNs OF VOLCANO

CAUSE TERROR.
JAPs MUST ABANDON ISLE
Geologist Okada Asserts craters Will
Continue to Be Active official
Report Shows Loss of Life Is
About 10000.

Kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 20.-The
volcano Sakura-Jima is again active
two eruptions occurred on Saturday,
accompanied by severe earthquake,
causing the collapse Of many more
buildings. Numbers of the inhabitants
of Kagoshima who had returned again
fled In terror from the city. Ashes
are falling thickly.
The volcanoes continued very active
all day and emitted great quantities OF
stones and ashes. Numerous explo-
sions occurred and poisonous gases
were elected, making breathing diff
cult. The emperors envoy has found
it impossible to make the trip around
Sakura-Jima. There has been some
looting here The sea in the Gulf of
Kagoshima seemed to be boiling and
the quantity of floating pumicestone
was so great that it prevented naviga-
ton.
Bluejackets from the Japanese fleet
discovered native craft containing 10
refugees from Sakura who were in a
starving condition. They reported that,
owing TO the floating masses OF pum-
icestone and the high seas, they had
been unable to steer their boat and
had spent. three days adrift at the
mercy of the elements and without a
morsel of food.
The geologist Okada is Of the opin-
ion that Sakura-Jima will CONTINUES in
aruntiOn for a month.
About seven-tenths of the island is
a desert Of lava and the remaining
land is in such hopeless condition
that it must be abandoned Fifteen
hundred of the 1000 houses on the
island were buried. The estimated
damage on this account is $5,000,000.
How to deal with the islanders is a
great problem, the professor says, but
evidently they must migrate
Toxic, Jan. 20.-An indication that
the loss Of life on the Island OF SAX
ura may be much larger than has been
supposed is given in report received
on Saturday here from an official OF
the interior department sent to kago-
shima. He reports that 5000 out OF
Sakura's estimated population OF ~
600 has been accounted for.
