ON A ROCK IN
WASTE OF LAVA
Thirty-three Starving Japanese
Refugees Are Found.
RESCUED BY NAVAL CREW.
They Hid In a Cave During the
Eruption and Afterwards Climbed
On the Rock and Sought To
Attract Attention.

Kagoshima, Japan. Telegraphic
communication between this city and
the north has been restored. The off,
GERS of the cruiser squadron sent by
the Japanese government have taken
charge of the situation and are rapidly
restoring semblance of order along
the waterfront. Many of the people
of Kagoshima have returned to the
city. All their houses are in ruins and
the returning refugees are compelled
to camp in the open spaces. The war
ships brought large stock of food
and supplies, which are being freely
dispensed.
The property loss in this city is i'm
mense. The clearing away of ashes
and debris has not gone far enough to
allow even an approximate estimate of
the loss of human life.
group of 33 refugees was rescued
from amid great waste of steaming.
lava at the foot of the volcano Of
Sakurajima. Their escape was little
short of miraculous; with their rescue
no living being remains, so far as
known, on the entire island of Sakura.
The rescue was effected by a boats
crew from the Japanese flagship. AS
soon as the cruiser squadron arrived
here crews were sent out to circle the
island of Sakura, on which the vol
cano is situated, three miles out in
the bay. The contour of the island
has been entirely altered during the
last week.
The sailors did not risk landing on
account of the terrific heat and
noXious gases, but made a systematic
scrutiny along shore. The entire is
land was covered with smoking ashes
and hot lava
All was desolation and no sign Of
human beings was seen until late in the
day, when an officer in one of the
launches noticed something being
waved in the air at short distance
from the shore. A detachment of men,
heavily bundled to protect them from
the heat, was landed. After a hard
struggle they succeeded in making
their way through soft warm ashes
breast high until they reached a great
rock. Sheltered behind this rock they
found SO people, still living. but coated
with thick dust and weakened by star
walton and thirst. Among the rescued
was a school master who had borne
with him from his school house the
portrait of the Emperor; the village po-
liceman, who had saved the records Of
the station house and the postal clerk,
with small bag of mail.
The refugees were taken on board
warship and provided with food and
drink. They explained that they had
hidden in great cave near the shore
until the rain of ashes was over and
had then tried hour after hour to at
tract attention.
