Tokyo, May 25.?A mountain lake .
released by an eruption from a .long
inactive volcano crater, caused the
greater part of the death and destruc
tion which followed yesterday's re
sumption of activity in Mount Tp
kachi, in central Hokkaido, northern
most of the principal islands of Ja
pan. . .-w: q
The governor of Hokkaido reported
today to the home minister that^MPp
dead and more than 200 injured had*
been removed from the mass of mud,
lava and rocks precipitated from the
long slumbering crater. Beside* these, _
about 1,000 farmers of the .??ptglf1
opened agricultural district around j
the mountain are missing, and it is an- I
possible to tell how many of these !
may have been ? buried alive- in the
floods of water and mud.
Peasants" of the Tokachi district
were not without warning, for on
May 4 the volcano began rumbling
and many fled from the region. "Yes
terday there came three violent eeup- J
tioas, tearing out the eraierwalls and
allowing the lake to pour through the
sides of the mountain, inundating
several villages, drowning villagers
and covering 10,000 acres of rice
fields with mud. Landslides on the ^
steep slopes added to the destruc- {
tion. - \

Raleigh, May 26.?No prospects of

bureau for the next few days.
Chances of rain following the temper

Although the draught is continu

Exceeded all records fur this period
of the year of the Raleigh weather
bureau which date back forty years.
The dry period, which started in
April, has already caused a deficien
cy in rainfall for April and May of
$18 inches; and of 3.67 inches for
the year, his figure is lowered be
cause of 8n excess of rain during
January and March. During the last

has fallen in Raleigh. This was scat
