Disastrous Fire in Formosa

Tokio, Mar. 28

An extra edition of the "dsuhi" says that a serious conflagration has taken place in two towns in South Formosa. In one town 1,500 houses were destroyed and in the other 2,800. Most of the houses destroyed were native houses.—Reuter, Str. Kweilin Fired on Hongkong, Mar. 27.

The China Navigation Company's steamship Kweilin, on its way to Hongkong from Canton, was fired on about two miles from Canton, but no damage was done.—Reuier.
