Reports of Disaster Vary.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
AS the story of the Japanese dis
aster is unfolded in the fragmentary
messages from press association cor
respondents, Japanese newspapers and
individuals, it is apparent that the
magnitude of the catastrophe has not
been underdrawn.
In only one dispatch has there been
suggestion that death lists will not
reach figures already mentioned.
On the one hand Admiral Edwin A.
Anderson, commanding the United
States Asiatic fleet, says the latest
unofficial reports gives the casualties
in the capital and Yokohama 100000
dead and 100000 injured. A wireless
message from Admiral Anderson ito
Rear Admiral Edward Eberle of the
Pacific battle fleet conveying this in
formation was picked up in San Fran
cisco. Naval officers in San Francisco
believe that Admiral Anderson, who
is speeding to Japanese waters, OBJ
tanned advices of conditions in Japan
by radio before communicating with
Read Admiral Eberle. Another esti-
mate, this one coming from the east
ern news agency, says that 100000
persons have been killed in the entire
stricken district.
Fresh Calamity in Toxic.
Fresh calamity have overtaken smit-
ten Toxic and the terror-stricken
remnants of its population. Nearly
10000 people, seeking refuge in the
military clothing factory were trapped
by flames and burned to death.
Two hundred and sixteen earth
shocks were felt in Toxic last Satur-
day followed by ffty-seven on Sun
day. The most severe tremor was of
six minutes duration.
The flames that swept the capital
burned for fifty hours, leaving Toxic
and its environs in ruins and desola-
ton. Fire and earth commissions have
devastated an area of twenty-one
square miles in and about Toxic, de-
molishing 100000 houses.
The suffering Of Yokohama, too, ap-
pears not to have been exaggerated.
An official statement by u. Oyama, the
Japanese consul general in San Fran
cisco, says that the great port itself
and the Yokosuka naval station have
been wiped out. This message sent
by former Japanese consul general
who is now at Shanghai, added that
more than half of Toxic has been de-
stroyed.
From Osaka comes a dispatch as
sorting that new volcano has brok-
en- into activity in the Chichihu range,
fifty miles northwest of Toxic.
Meanwhile the Japanese cities and
towns unaffected by the disaster are
bending every effort to relieve the
condition of the millions who are be-
lieved to be suffering from injuries
and lack of food. Cargoes of rice are
arriving at Yokohama and Shiragawa.
