'I YOKOILAMA , June 17.-News of a tern -
ble earthquake , involving the loss of over
1,000 lives , has reached here from tire Island
of Yesso , which contains the northern province
ince of Japan , Including Shlrebeshe , Oashl-
ma , Furl , Iiltaha , Tokachi , Ishikarl , Kir-
shire , Teshlwo , KIlaml and Nornoro. All
these sections of the island seem to have
been more or less shaken. The subterranean -
ranean disturbance lasted about twenty
hours and during tbat period the utmost ter.
ror prevailed.
The ground rumblings are described as
resembling roaring distant cannon. Shock
I followed shock In almost uninterrupted suc-
cession. In all It Is estimated there were
1o ; shocks of more or less force. It is inn.
possible for the present to give accurate
r- details of the disaster , as communication be-
lw eon the mainland of Japan Island and
Yesso , from which the former is separated
by tire strait of Sangar , is said to be Interrupted
rupted or , more likely , in the hands of the
authorities. The whole town of Kumaishl ,
however , Is reported to have been destroyed.
I The awful series of earthquake shocks was
accompanied by a tidal wave and It is be-
] sieved that It was this onrush of a giant
wave from the sea which wiped out the
town of Kunalslt.
The island of Yesso has In the past had
several similar vlsitatimns and contains a
number of active and extinct volcanoes.
Rumor has it that the number of lives
lost and the damage done is tar In excess
of the ilgures contained in tine first dis-
patch. A full otncial report has been asked
for and is expected shortly. It Is feared

SAN FRANCISCO , June 17-A terrible
famine , which threatens to plunge the most
prosperous people of Tonkin , China , into
the most terrible condition in many years ,
Is raging. Mall advices are received by the
steamer Coptic that last year the rainfall
vas meager and In consequence the harvest
lies been a failure. The natives throughout
the whole of the country are In the most
miserable condition , It Is reported that
mothers are offering their children for sale
for a few cents. In dlanoi the other day a
mother offered to sell her three infants for
8 cents , preferring to hand them over tea
a European rather than sea them perish
from hunger ht her arms. In the towns
oterywhere the streets are crowded by natives -
tives who have come in from the provinces
to beg for rice. It le not so bad In the
towns , but inn the country the state of at-
fairs is awful. The inhabitants emigrate
from districts enmasse. In the provinces of
Sontay , in lire north , flan Nlnh and Ilung
Yen this exodus is most marked. Sonic of
the people reach the cities to beg for sustenance -
tenance , while runny others are going about
pillaging and perpetrating acts of the grossest -
est viokenee. Rice leas attained a fabulous
price , Should cholera break out virulently
or any similar epidemic , which is not at
all improbable , there viii be a veritable
( calamity. Already several cases of the terrible -
riblo scourge have been reported from tine
provinces where the famine has been felt
most severely. If tire cholera gets a little
headway it will have a disastrous effect upon
the miserable native population ,
The latest reports regarding the plague
seems to hrdicato that while it continues
there la no narked increase.
