from Corea which has been received
by the Mikado. Corea spurns the

Coreans, demanding tribute, was torn up
and scattered with its contents. One of the
ambassadors of Japan was imprisoned and
another sent back to convey the threats of
the Coreans and their contempt for the new
rule. This letter of the MikadO was sent
three years ago, since which time America
attempted to make treaty with Corea.
