The Minister was very much incensed at

writer as a narrow-minded pedant and
person wholly incompetent to speak upon

JAPANs ACTIVE MEASURES.
Yokohama. June 2l.-The reports Of the
murder Of foreign Ministers at Pekin and
of the death OF ADMIRAL Seymour although
viewed with suspicion, have created a pro-
found sensation. The press expresses the
opinion that japan must. with or without
the consent of the Powers, adopt active
measures.
The naval and military officers are very
busy. Probably the whole Hiroshima divi-
sion. under command of General Fuka-

structions. He referred TO the reports of
the murder of Baron Won ketteler and of
the destruction of the legations as false"
When asked from what source he had OBJ
tanned such precise information. especially
In View of the fact that the other day he
had admitted that ne had received no cable

these things from the general intentions OF
his Government, and from his own general
