JAPANESE DISASTER.
AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. ESTIMATES DROP. OSAKA, Sept. 14 The earthquake deaths arc estimated by the police, up to September 13th, as follows—Tokyo city 77,823 ; missing 121,070; Yokohama deaths, 33,767. Over one million refugees have left Tokyo for the country. "While Tokyo’s material losses arc tremendous, tho city is not- so badly hit as at first appeared, taking into consideration the centres of productivity elsewhere. Tho loss in Tokyo and neighbourhood represents less than a quarter of her producing plants. Regarding the problem of reconstruction, there are apparently two schools of thought, one advocating rapid construction with the aid of foreign capital, while the other favours the prolongation of the period, enabling the country to provide for its own needs as far as possible, without calling for foreign financial aid, and thus attempting to ward off the possible dangers of a false boom.
