QUAKE LEVELS ALL HOUSES IN
 CHINESE TOWN

. HONG KONG, April p - (By MaiD - Details of the earthquake disaster at Swatow, February l7, pub Hshed in the China Mail indicated that almost every house in the Chinese quarter of the town was demolished and that the European district suffer cd so badly that it will probably be necessary to rebuild most if not all ! the houses.
 The first shock was felt at about D. m. This seems to have prepared the buildings for their final and complete collapse. The second shock at about lO:3O p.A m. brought the buildings tunibling about the inhabitants ears. Between the two minor shocks were continual and it was only due to many of the inhabitants deselting their houses that the casualties were not greater.
 The Customs house collapsed, the Dutch Consulate was rendered unin- habitable and the Dutch consul and his family took refuge in sheds On their lawn. A Chinese theatre fuli of sol Clicrs and others collapsed without warning. It Is said that not a single soul escaped, including the players. Whole streets of houses were wrecked and the scene in the Chinese quarter is one of absolute devastation. Many persons assert that during the first shock, streams of boiling water and jets of steam issued from the earth. An informant states that he walked through masses of debris which was once the streets of the na- tive quarter and saw bodies of the Qcad in heaps of rubble. The Japan csc Red Cross Society of Swatow rem dered valuable assistance. Temporary hospitals have been erected to accomo- date the wounded. Many hundreds of persons are homeless.
 No deaths of Europeans have been reported. Most foreigners left their houses and took refuge in the ships.
 An instance of the severity of the disturbance is that a ship, 30 miles to sea off Annoy felt the shock distinctly,
 It is believed that Annoy suffered as much if not more than Swatow.
