THE CALAMITY IN JAPAN.
KOBE, June 23rd. The Japan Mail translates from the Heck the following account of the calamity from an eye-witness who was at the Kamalsh! Iron Foundry Office on the dreadful day. It rained at Kamalsbl from noon, and before sunset four or five shocks of earthquake were felt. At about 8 p.m. an appalling noise, as if produced by the amaltaneous firing of a hundred cannot, was heard from the direction of the sea. The captain of a steamer owned by the Foundry was on the beach. Startled by the booming sounds, he looked to seaward, and saw the surface of the water growing rapidly dark and misty. Before be could imagine what these phenomena meant, he noticed the sca suddenly hearo to a vast height, and knowing then that a seismic wave must be rolling shoreward, ha ran away water, however, he at the top of his speed. Overtaken by the overwhelmed,

The waves swept into the town three times in succession, the first, however, being the most terrible. So appalling was the force of this foremost mountain houses standing in the lower part of the town cf water that in less than two minutes all the

That was the case with the headman of the town, Conversing to his house with three friends who had called upon him, he heard the roar of waters, and, the second story where they were sitting and accompanied by ano of his friends, jumped from dying towards an elevated place was saved. whereas the other two, who attempted to descend the staircase, were caught by the waves and drowned. Next morning it was found that practically the whole town of Kamsishi had bean swept away, only three storehouses being left standing. Four steamers belonging to the Foundry were moored close by at landward and now lie among the Gelds at considerable distance from the coast, not having suffered any special injury, however."
have taken place, but with what result I do not know.
Another peculiarity of the administration of justice by the Japanese is that both the robbed and robbers caught are beheaded. So, although the particulars of the murder of the Chinaman in foreign employ are not yet to hand it would be but fait to sormise that he was shot while running away with the money, or with part of it, as the Japanese take up all those found with maney, whether they are robbers or not. Much of this trouble in, I dare say, caused by the fact that neither can speak to the other, and consequently there are always misunder standlugs, but the Japanese Government should employ a different means of punishing robbers, if they with to hold the island in peace. are easily governed, as is illustrated by the corrupt Formosans, when there is no misunderstanding, Chinese régime.

TAIWANYOO, Jane 301b. I have not written lately because, though much has been happening hele tending to estrange the people from their new rafers, there was nothing af much importance to write about, the difficulties being al too trivial a nature, though safficiently annoying all the same. Since April things have not improved.
On the breaking out of the plague the district in which it appeared was barricaded, and no by coolles engaged for the purpose. This one allowed to go in or out, food being supplied checked the spread of the epidemic, but did not altogether stamp it out, so that when no freaks casss were reported, the fence was broken down and egress agale permitted, and many from the infected quarter of the village fled to other parts, and thus spread the disease. But, strange to say, the result has been very much less disastrous than wa' expected. The disease soort cessed to be epidemfe, for the cases isolated. Plague is still with us, but it ceases were hot numerous and were more or less
to be feared more than the usual fever or cholerale diarrhea, usual at this time of the car. Many patients were cured by native success than the Japanese, although the latter doctors, who seem to have met with more are reported to be clever docters. The means, of curing are many and varied, and I now send kind of curiosity, since this is known to be translation of one of the methods, merely su one of those diseases which is most hard to core, and one (as it never appeared here before, and has this year bean Imported from Amay, by those returning to their homes after the flight) which it is hardly to be expected the local unexpected that often happens. Of the many doctors could do anything with. But it is the annoyances: caused by the search parties, who were neither gentle nor careful, and who cer tainly did not try to spare the feelings of the people, nor make them understand the because such annoyances are what the people urgency of the matter, I will say nothing, have to put up with every day, and have town ated to it. But it will certainly not win the hearts of the conquered over to the conquerors.
The following is the Chinese recipe for the cure of plague as given me by a Chinese dactor-
