TERRIFIC EARTHQUAKE AT JAVA.
The Java papers of the L4th June give full
particulars of the dreadful earthquake which
oceurred in the island on the morning of the
10th of June. It was very destructive in the
districts of Cheribon, Pekalongan, Banjoemas,
Bazelen, Samarang, Djokjdokarta, and Soura-
karta. The greater part of the indigo and
sugar manufactories, private houses, and mili-
jtary establishments are destroyed at Djukjdo, |
but in the other districts the damaze was not
su extensive. The losses, however, are incal-
culable. The suzar crop, which had just
been brought into the baras, is totally lost.
A large number of Kuropeans aud natives
perished—the report says as many as three
hundred. It was feared also that other parts
of Java might be visited with earthquakes ;
even at Batavia shocks were felt on the day the
mail started. ‘The accounts of the rinderpest
in Java ave most distressing. In some dis-
tricts the whole stock of Baffaloes has died out,

TERRIFIC EARTHQUAKE AT JAVA.
The Java papers of the L4th June give full
particulars of the dreadful earthquake which
oceurred in the island on the morning of the
10th of June. It was very destructive in the
districts of Cheribon, Pekalongan, Banjoemas,
Bazelen, Samarang, Djokjdokarta, and Soura-
karta. The greater part of the indigo and
sugar manufactories, private houses, and mili-
jtary establishments are destroyed at Djukjdo, |
but in the other districts the damaze was not
su extensive. The losses, however, are incal-
culable. The suzar crop, which had just
been brought into the baras, is totally lost.
A large number of Kuropeans aud natives
perished—the report says as many as three
hundred. It was feared also that other parts
of Java might be visited with earthquakes ;
even at Batavia shocks were felt on the day the
mail started. ‘The accounts of the rinderpest
