JAPAN.
(By Overland Telegraph from GoHe.)
SHANGHAI, Sorr. 21.

According to intelligence received here from
Japan, a report was current of the death of the
Tycoon.

A letter in the Levant Herald of the 17th gives
an amount of a gross attack upon two American gentlemen
and a boy on their way to Tiflis. Mr. Henry Stanley, one
of the number, writes :—" When about seven hours from
Afiuna-Karahnsar, on the 18th September, en route for
Tiflis and Thibet via Erzereum, fromSsnyrna, I and my two
companions, Mr. H. W. Conk, of Illinois, and a youth, of
Now York, were attained by a band of robbers, hailing
from the village of Chilusaar, headed by a fellow
named Achmet, of Karahisaar, and robbed of all
our money, valuables, and clothing, to the tune
of about 80,000 piastres. It would occupy too much
space were I to enter into minor details, suffice it to
state, that after robbing us they conveyed us as prisoners
in triumph to Chihissar, accusing us of being robbers,
which brought down on our devoted beads unparalleled
abuse from the villagers ; the women pelted us with stones,
the children spat at us, the men belaboured us unmerci-
fully with sticks, clubs, and firetongs. Not comprehending
in the leant what direction affairs had taken, I must say
for myself that I was plunged in a state of stupefaction
not untuisgled with rage as to how and why we were thus
treated. We had instantly acquiesced in all their demands,
and were as docile as lambs In their hands, and, though
when attacked we were armed with the host Sharp's
rifles and Colt's revolvers, we had offered no resistance.
When night arrived, they bound us with cords drawn so
tight around our necks that it nearly produced strangula-
tion, in which suffering condition they allowed us to re-
main twelve hours. (A passage hare occurs relating to the
treatment of the boy.) No explanations that they can
render can gloss over the wanton cruelty and malignant
treatment to which we have been subjected. Next, two
of them conveyed us bound, with the must daring effron-
tery imaginable, to a small town called Roshikeui, with
the statement that we were robbers, where of course we,

were treated as prisoners, scoompanied by
cruel abuse ; chains were hung around our necks, like
garlands, for the night. From this place we were sent
to Afiuna-linrabiesar, where we received the benefit of
an interpreter in the person of Mr. L. E. Peluso, agent
of the Ottoman Bank at that place, who acquitted
