Loss of Life Not So Great As At First Re. ported Hills Rent and nouses Demolished Bonlanr'i London Friends Express Confidence in Him. Sax Francisco. Ang. Is. The steamer City of Sydney from Hon? Kons and Yokahama, which arrived this evening, was expected to bring details of the earthquake at Kumamoto, the first news of which was cabled from Yokohama, July 30. One cablegram gave the loss of life at 3,000, while another stated that almost the entire town of Kumamoto, with a population of SS.000, was destroyed. Full details had not been received when the Ci'y of Sydney left Yokohama, hat the newspapers of that city of An jr. 2 indicate no such loss as given by the cablegrams. Several late telegrams to Yokohama give the loss at twenty to thirty killed. A Japan newspaper, Jiji SMmjio, says, however, by a great earthquake at Kumamoto on July 2 many hills have beeu rent, houses demolished and people killed and wounded in the city, independent of the surrounding village. Another shock has been felt, and the inhabitants are fearful of further disaster. The people have been seized with superstition on account of the hills being broken open. The floods have subsided in the various districts of Japan, and fairly active estimates of the damage done is obtained. Nine hundred houses were destroyed by being washed away or broken up by colliding together. Fortyone persons are known to have lost their lives. The Overland China JIail learns, July 6, that the rioter in Fohien, province of China, had lied before the approaching troops. Before leaving, however, they burned their boats. The attack on the Chin Chu villages is confirmed. For the loss of four or five of their countrymen last year, the rioters reveneed themselves by slaughtering between four and five hundred inhabitants of the Chin Chu villages, including women and children. SYMPATHY FOR BOULANCER. Trench Residents of London Express Their Confidence in Illm. LoxDOy, Ang. 15. Five hundred French residents of London visited Gen. Boulanger in a body to-day, and presented him with an address of sympathy and confidence.

If he had been cited by a regularly constituted court of assizes, he and his colleagues would have taken the first boat for France to face a triaL The French government did not dare to avail themselves of the ordinary courts, but formed a special tribunal, composed of his polkical enemies, which had virtually condemned him before it met. In conclusion, be said he only asked good faith from the French people, and the triumph of the present ruler would be a thing of the past. A Protest Against England. Berlin, Aug. 17. The German colonial company, a: a meeting to-day, resolved to appeal to Prince Bismarck for protection against English encroachments in Africa, and urve him to find means to put an end to the present state of aCair?.

Rumors of Disarmament. EE?uy, Aug. 17. Copyright ls0. Sensational rumors of a general disarmament perTide diplomatic circles. The emperor's visit to StrasboTrp, it is expected, will be signalized by some declaration relating to peace or war. It is said the emperor will announce a project for a limitation of European armaments, threatening as an alternative a general war. Facts, however, do not accord with this expectation.

The KUxir's Wondrons Results, II.vRTFor.D City, Aug. 1 1 Special. Dr. II. C. Davidson, one of the leading physicians of this city, this morning secured the glands of a lamb four months old and prepared the now famous '"elixir of life" and injected two and one-half drachms into the legs and arms of Richard Shaw of this city, aged fifty-three, who has been a confirmed invalid, walking with a cane and a part of the time with crutches, for the last twelve years. Mr. Shaw's pulse registered Ku immediately before the operation, and in less than thirty minutes after receiving the injection it ran down to eighty. His face which for months has been of au ashen hue, in about forty minutes became flushed, and be began to perspire freely. In about fifty mi nntes the rheumatic pains in his limbs, from which he has not been free for nearly five years, gave way to a tingling sensation, being, as he said, wholly free from pain. Mr. Shaw has been sorely afflicted for years. He had to be brought to the doctor's office in a carriage and he left it walking with a firm and easy step. Bad Resnlts of the Elixir. MrNClE, Aug. 14. Special. Some very untoward results have occurred from the experiments with the Brown-Seouard elixir. Although each patient claimed to feel better immediately after administration, a totally dillerent feeling was experienced to-day. Joseph Kirk, who was the last operated upon Monday, Las a badly swollen arm, and erysipelas will probably occur. He may lose hN arm. None of the patients claim eood results, and some confess the contrary. The elixir was prepared with the utmost care from healthy specimens. Last night a doctor who believes that imagination plays a prominent part in the so-culled cures, announced that free injections would be made. The impression was that the "elixir" was injected, and a dozen persons were subjects. The doctor, without their knowledge, injected an infusion of cocoa leaves half a dnachru each and awaited the results. Nearly all the subjects experienced no change. One, however, hns great pains in his legs to-day and another feels greatly stimulated, and announces that there is a great deal in it. A Crnry Horse. La forte, Ind., Aug. 17. Special.

When let out of the barn it will walk off a short distance, and then gallop back at a terrific rate of speed. If the door is open be will go in, but if shut, the animal will dash against it without knowing that an obstruction is in its way. If hitched-uo it will start to run stra'ght ahead, and can neither be turned nor stopped until it becomes completely exhausted. The insanity has only lately appeared. The case is a very strange one and the first of the kind ever heard of In this locality. The Remains of a Mastodon. Foet Wahe, Aug. 13. SpeciaL People living along the eastern line of this county are greatly exciied over the discovery of the remains of a mastodon. The find was on the farm of J.

Sections of the back-bone that nave been exhumed are seventeeninchesin diameter; the jaw has a length of three feet; the face of the molar teeth, which have been well preserved by the enamel, measure fourteen inches in circumference.

This man, a year and a half aero, was arrested on charzes similar, and after three trials the jury failing each time to agree waa discharged. The opinion then was that he was guilty in the former case, and tb.3 repetition of hia aet convinces everybody that he is now guilty.

The trouble is the outgrowth of giving the public printing to the Daily Ledger, the republican organ of Hamilton county, notwithstanding the hid of the Dai!; Dmwerat being three times less thau that of the Ledjrr. When the order was presented awarding the contract to the Ledcrr the mayor vetoed it, declaring he would not support such useless extravagence, but the members passed it over his head with the above result.
