TOKIO. March 27—The whole
city of Tokio was imperiled Satur-
day night by the greatest fire with
which it has been visited in a de-
cade.
The conflagration destroyed a
thousand houses in the Yotsuya dis-
triet. involving a loss esitmated at
25.000.000 yen (normally about $12,-
500,000.) Thousands of persons were
made homeless and 131 persons were
injured.
The burned buildings included
three hospitals, a bank and soveral
large business houses.
For tour hours during the night
a violent wind drove the flames in
the direction of the heart of the city
causing a panic among the popu-
lation.
Four thousand troops aided the
firemen in combating the blaze but
it was only when the force of the
wind let down that efforts to con-
trol the fire were successful.
Scenes of terror were witnessed
in many sections.
’ The streets were choked with
