insurgents took possession Of the main thor
oughfare in Zsouile, capital OF Corn, and st
tackled the royal residence and japanese lsgs-
ton. At the latter place the envoy and con-
sui escaped with some twenty followers, and
made their way to the palace for protec-
ton, but found 1t already in the possession Of
the rioters. They then retreated to Jinzppoyt,
fifteen miles distant, being repeatedly assaulted
on the way,
Four were killed, three wounded aud several
are missing. The survivors, among whom
were the envoy and consul, reached the
British surveying ship in tbs neighborhood.
A Japanese ship Of war was Ordered 70 C1rea
to rescue the imperiled Japanese and obtain
information as to the cause OF the outbreak,
but to avoid discussion or dispute. The vessel
returned August I, announcing that Tie
tsi ssfn was sang'sfsa' IN state as Of '' anarchy
OF the royal inmates Of the palace the king
alone was spared the queen being murdered.
The kings heir and the lstterS betrothed,
both children, were poisoned. Thirteen min
listers of state and other high dignitsries were
slain. The proceedings are said TO have been
pronounced the father, by others the uncle, Of
the king. He has always been violent op-
ponent of foreign intercourse. Whether hs
assumed the control of the governmentis not
vet known. AT Ports Flu San and 6ensan tkers
has been no disturbance. Japan acted with
promptness and prudence. Naval and
military rendezvous have been established at
Shimoneki, the nearest port to Corea. A nest
was dispatched to the scene 0f disorder, and
troops gathered to await the development OF
affairs. Reparation must be absolute and IN.
conditional or war will ensue. Telesrauas
Mom the navy department at Washington
have been received by Admiral Clit7, com

THE STARS AND STRIPES INsULrED.
YOKOHAMA, Aug. 1.-THE Ill feeling
among American residents Of Japan was etart
ed by repeated and apparently studied dis
courtesies to the United States rag on
GERS. The American ship swsttera-
Jeff Yokohama homexsrd bound on July 81,
and was saluted according to custom by war
ships of every nationality, excepting the Eng
lish. The British Aeet at Yokohama went
away oa the I'd of July last, and remained
at sea over the 4th of July, avoiding the necss-
sity for salute. Similar incidents constantly
occurred during Grants visit, and the deter
mination of British army officers at Hong
Kong to withhold salutes on WashirEtons
birthday has been the cause of q difference be-
tween the officers and Governor 6ir John HsA-
messy, who shows sense OF
proprieties on such occasions. It ID
claimed on behalf of British agents their con
duct is regulated by orders from London. The
Corean troubles have ipjuriously affected the
paper currency, which is now at discount OF
70 per cent. below silver. The extraordinary
reports in Japanese newspapers respecting the
cremation of the corpses Of victims to
cholera appear to have stricken the
people with panic, and considerable numbers
forsook their work. The government au-
thorities finding 1t impossible to replace them
even by men of great ignorance and question
able character, work was neglected. Scores
of bodies dried before burned and persons
still alive were thrown int the flames. There
were violent gales between Japan and China
DUNG early August. Many sail
ing ships are repsrted heavily
damaged and several are missing. Dispatches
from China announce q hurricane along the
southeastern coast, which resulted disas-
trously to shipping, and heavy floods occurred
in the interior provinces Of Japan. causisg
great injury to the rice crop and loss OF hu-
man life and cattle.
Cholera is decreasing in Yokohama, Toxic
and vicinity.
