MISSING AND 200,000
HOMELESS IN JAPAN

patch received today from the quarters
of Japan swept by the great typhoon
increased the magnitude of the disas
ter. At least 1,000 persons are dead
;tnd twice that many are rnirs'ng

age is estimated so far as today's ad
vices show at about $50,000,000 though
ft will undoubtedly be much greate
w hen the full extent of the damage is
known.
Heavy storms are still raging off the
coast and vessels in the Chinese service
reported seeing a number of small craft
in cistress. Owing to the high seas, no
aid could be given. Coast guard sta
tions have been warned to keep a sharp
watch lor passenger ships in distress
Three hundred thousand dollars is
| needed to supply the immediate needs
i”f typhoon refugees. Because of the
heavy expense entailed by the funeral of
Emperor Mutsuhlto. the government
has not enough money to provide for
th, needs of the occasion. However,
everything possible is being done.
A public subscription has been
started.
The su |>erst it iotis Japanese declare
that the typhoon was an act of Provi
dence and a warning because the mod
ern leaders are deserting the ancient
standards of Japan. It is said that in
the Ayama cemetery nearly every tree
was blown down and shrines were
wrecked save those standing about the
grave of General Nogi and his wife,
who died by hara-kiri for the late em
peror.
