Reports From Kagoshima Say 10,000 j
Dead, While Government Reports |
Only Eleven Deaths.
KAGOSHIMA, Jan. 19.- The latest
estimate of the number of (lead In
the eruption of Mount Sakurajima is
placed at 10,000 people, and the wa
ters near this city are so covered with
pumice in large and small pieces that
navigation is almost impossible.
The volcano is belching out hot
ashes and pumice constantly and to
day two violent shocks were felt here.
Two thousand houses have been de
stroyed in this city and many in sur
rounding towns.
TOKIO, Jan. 19.—The government
has issued a report stating that the
loss of life during the eruption at
Kagoshima was eleven killed and that.
2,000 buildings were destroyed. The
statement has caused much surprise
here, as it is kenerally known that
thousands were killed and that the j
refuges reaching here were in many
cases badly burned and that more
than eleven have died since coming
here for refuge. The government
otvns and controls the news service
out of this country and is sending out
false statements to the press of Japan
and foreign countries though for what
reason is unknown.
