Niously had correspondent with him On
the subject. The Kentucky congress-
man, who was chairman Of the special

cial trust message is delivered. !

second n fourth sections OF the Sher-
man law. In section 2, into which thei

SHIP GOES DOWN:
90 PERSONS DROWN

Hamburg. Germany. Jan. 19.-No
doubt remains that the German
steamer Acilia is lost with it's crew OF
4S, and so passengers. A telegram
from Punta Arenas, Chile. received
here today says that the bodies of two
of her officers were picked up today
among a mass of wreckage in Moat
channel, north of Pitcairn island. Terra

clare that a big steamer sank there
some time ago..
The Acilia was a vessel of $500 tons
net, built in 1900, and chartered by the
Kosmos line. She left Corral, Chile, on
October II, for Hamburg.
A telegram from Valparaiso or

mated damage on this account Is TO-

with the islanders is a great problem,
the professor says, but evidently they

every 60 years and that eruptions may
be expected at any time and particu-
larry volcano Unzen, eight miles from

that S~akura-Jima will continue it's

Blue jackets from the japanese fleet
today discovered a native craft con-
tanning 16 refugees from Sakura who
were in a starving condition. They
reported that owing to the floating
masses of pumice stone 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 blue
jackets We're able to reach them only
by using a wedge shaped raft with
which they pierced a field of pumice
stone resembling ice floes. Lava to-
day was flowing steadily down the
sides of the volcano to the sea in
creasing the area of the island as the
substance soliditied on reaching the
water. 1t is still impossible to give
anything like an approximate estimate
of the number of victims from the
recent eruptions, earthquakes and tidal
wave. Some officials here express the
none mai lImOG oil ncoopnI frn,,o
Sakura. Others are less optimistic.
Prof. Fusakichi Omori, the seismol-
ogist, returning to the village Of
Yokohama on Sakura, said 400 houses
lie buried in lava. Are the people
buried as in Pompeii?" he asked, and
answered himself, only the future can

Toxic, Jan. 19.-An indication that
the loss of life on the island of Sakura,
which was devastated by the eruption
of the volcano Sakura-J1ma, may be
much larger than had been supposed,
is given In a report received here from
an official of the interior department
who was sent to Kagoshima to investi-
gate. He reports that 5000 out of
Sakura's estimated population of 10, 1000
had been accounted for up to the eve
ming of the 10th.
Other refugees. it is expected, will be
found in other directions, but the loss
of life evidently was extremely heavy.

ferers from famine in the north and

disaster is more definitely known.
Appeal for Help.
A relief association, national in
scope has been organized here and has
issued the following appeal for help:
Heaven has brought US disasters,
one after another. While the suffering
from famine in the northeast has not
yet been relieved another calamity has
occurred in Kiushiu.
"The northeast, poorly favored by ma
ture, sustained many Affections in the
past and is becoming impoverished. 1t

ing.
1--WE We're planning to relieve this
distress when news came of the erup-
ton in the south, with people buried
in ava or SO scorched with fiery ashes
hat they had no time to save their
nearest relatives. No greater calamity
can be imagined"
The statement ended with an appeal
to sympathiZers for donations.
Suffering Is Intense.
Bishop Walter Andrews, of the Eng
lish church in Hok-Kaido, the famine
stricken district, writes that the suf-
fering everywhere is intense. The
farmers, he says, are hit hardest and
their families are eating soups made
of chopped straw, leaves and rotten po-
tatoes and meat taken from cats and
dogs and fish. The more fortunate eat
a thin Cruel made Of rice or wheat.
The net results, he writes, are many
deaths from cold n starvation and an
increase of crime and beggars. Many
girls, ne declares, have been sold into
slavery. He tells of many children
fajnting in schools, sick from lack of
food.
The investigator of the department
of the interior, who wired the govern
ment this morning regarding the num-
Der of survivors from the island of
Sakura, reports that he saw pumice
stones three and five feet in diameter
that had been vomited from the bowels
of the earth. Lava mounds are 40 feet
high.
Members of a party rescued from a
cave recounted how they saved them
selves from being roasted alive by
holding thick boards on their heads.

a, few minutes after their frightful
flight began. They were in the cave
for three days and expected death
every minute. They had no food, but

FLAMING VOLCANO

Kagoshima. Japan. Jan. 49,
Two violent eruptions of the vol
cano Sakura-Jima, accompanied by
a severe earthquake, occurred late
last night, causing the collapse of
many more buildings. Numbers
of the inhabitants of Kagoshima
who had returned fled again in
terror from the city. Ashes are
falling thiclSly today.
The SUI looked like a ball Of
blood over Kagoshima today, but
it gave no light, and the darkness
was such that night signals had to
be employed on the railroads. The
flying dust was 50 thick that a few
pedestrians in the streets making
their way to the outskirts Of the
city had to owe their mouths and
noses with towels or handkerchiefs
to prevent suffocation.
The sea in the Gulf of Kago-
shima seemed to be boiling ana the
quantity of floating pumice stone
was so great that it prevented
navigation.
