embassies in Toxic were destroyed.
Nothing has been learned of the
fate of the American embassy and
its staff.
Eight of Tokio's fifteen wards are
known to be almost totally wiped out,
while the remainder are largely in
ruins burned over the total number
of buildings being placed at 100000
for the city and suburbs.
In Yokohama Bay at Yokosuka, a
city of 10000 on the upper reaches OF
Nile Bay. the destruction is nearly
as great, population considered, as it
is in ~ollio. Reports came today of
new quakes centcring in Iokosuka,
yesterday afternoon, doing great
damage, especially to ships. 1t is
known that Saturdays quake and
subsequent tidal waves did great
damage to Japanese naval vessels.
The extent OF the damage, how
ever, is not determined.
The quake yesterday, today's re-
port said, destroyed the telephone
exchange at Chojamachi, killing 40
operators. At o'clock last night new
quakes shook Kawaguchi, destroying
500 houses and damaging 1900 more.

Black Hawk. now en- route from Port
Arthur, to Chefoo, China, would be

cruiser Huron, to that port.
The army has at Manila 100000

go again. as she hated them deeply.
Mr.. Curtain declared that her at
titude was an example of the general
attitude in France.
He claims that the French say
Germany will never pay, that they
will deliberate and postpone the pay
ment until they can grow to great
power. then they will tell the other
nations to collect il they are able.
Owing to the great damages in
France which they will have to re-
pair, the speaker said that it will
hinder them in growth and weaken
the whole nation.
Germany is an economic menace
today" declared Mr.. Curtain. He
stated that England does not have
the same desire to make Germany
pay as France. He said that The
only way that they could pay was
by their large coal exports and that
England depends upon the same
thing for part of her incomes, there
fore she does not want her large
trade taken away by the Germans.
In closing, Mr.. Curtain said, Il
predict that France will hold onto
Germany's throat until Great Brit
ain will agree to stand by her if
she does release her hold on the
striker nation. But that throat is
tough and cannot be crushed. and it
may call for help, which would mean
that some nation might side in with
Germany and hinder France in her
process of making Germany pay"

les and towns on tho Izu peninsula
have been levelled by fire, and tremors
and the casualties at the present time
cannot be estimated.
Yokohama is completely isolated and
is declared to have burned or to be
burning. 1t is learned that the chief
of police of Yokohama sent wireless
message to Osaka anpealng for help
and declaring that yokohama is sea
of flames"
The city of Kobe was shaken by tho
temblor and Toyama was affected. The
shocks. according to reports here.

patched it to Yokohama to relieve the
distress which is believed to be prev
alcnt in the foreign community of the
stricken city.

tainablc from Toxic, il is reported that
the destruction borne includes the i'm
perial theatre. the foreign Office, de-
partment of education, the imperial

irving from Hakone report many
deaths in the vicinity of this resort.
There has been no news whatever
