 WA HINGToN, Doc. 13 The following statement was issued from the Japanese legation today:
 "the Japanese minister expresses the | strongest disbeIef in the reports of the | atroc ties alleged to have been commit | by the Japanese troops at Port Arthur. | He does not hesitate to denounce as un- | QualIhedly false the statement contain 1 ed in the account telegr8phed from | YokohomG, that there was an unres- trained reign of murder at Port Arthur | for three days after its capture and that | practically all the inhabitants were | Dutchered in cold blood. The reputa- ton of Marshal Oyama, whose orders to his troops against excesses of any kind wers of tho strictest nature, and the discipline maintained ID the Japanese army, in his opinion, renders such state of things impossible. He believes, therefore, that these reports are greatly exaggerated. The legation has yet no definite advces upon the subject beyond a report that a number of Japanese la borers armed with swords for their own protectior. entered the town during the battle anu were guilty of some excesses.
