WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Japanese
legation today received another telegram
from Matsu, minister of foreign affairs,
regarding the reported atrocities by
Japanese soldiers at the fall of Port Ar
thur. This dispatch says the govern
uIent is not yet in possession OF the full
facts, but has asceEtained the following
circumstances Many Chinese soldiers,
both at Port Arthur and those who came
in from outlying Notifications and taken
by Japanese soldiers, discarded their
uniforms, and it is now now known to
be certain that nearly all the Chinese in
plain clothes killed were soldiers in dis.
guise. The Chinese inhabitants (pre.
sumably a m jority) of Port Arthur left
before the engagement. those who re.
mained having been armed and ordered
to resist the Japanese and fire upon
them. This they did, and in the con-
fusion OF the fight it was impossible to
distinguish them from the Chinese SOL
diers. The Japanese army entering
Port Arthur was greatly excited at the
sight of the tearfully mutilated bodies OF
their comrades, some OF whom had been
burned alive and some crucfed. Not
withstanding this the discipline OF the
army WAS maintained. A number of
Chinese prisoners we're taken and kindly
treated. The wounded who could be
moved are on their way to Toxic and
will arrive in few days.
