Sept. 10.
One of Reuter's correspondents who has arrived in Osaka from Tokio reports that, with the exception of the Home Office and the Finance Department, nearly all the official buildings escaped the flames. The following are still standing, though they are badly shaken, and in some cases uninhabitable:—The Foreign Office, the General Staff Office, the Navy Department, the Diet buildings, and the Russian, Ital-jan, Belgian and German Embassies. The American, French and Chinese were the only Embassies burned. The British Embassy building is uninhabitable, but the only house actually burned at the Embassy was that of the Japanese Counsellor. The Tokio Central Station is still standing, and also.all the big buildings flanking. it on both sides in the commercial quarter generally known as Marunouchi.—Reuter.
