RUINED CHURCHES

Tokio, Sept. 23.

The Anglican and American Episcopal Missions in Greater Tokio officially report that 11 churches, including Trinity Cathedral, and eight institutions, including St. Luke's Hospital and 'T'sukiki Boys' and Girls' Schools, were burnt down and 14 churches and nine institutions were damaged by the earthquake. The foregoing do not include private residences of missionaries or of native workers, of which several are known to have been destroyed, nor do, they include places outside Tokio, where losses were also considerable.—Reuter.
