TOKIO, 23rd May
A severe earthquake was reported from Osaka at 11.10 o'clock this morning. People were terrified, as such a big earthquake had not been experienced at Osaka for ten years. Kobe and Kyoto also felt a severe shock. Tolrio and Yokohama were not affected.
A later report says that the seriously affected area is confined to the province of Tajima, on the coast of the Sea of Japan. It is reported that two hundred houses collapsed in the town of Toyooka, where fires started in many houses. Severe damage is reported from other towns in the same province.
