Relative Tells the Truth About
His Case.
Doughty Japanese's Father Had .
Genuine Russian Name
Kurovski.
1T Is AN INTERESTING CASE

Paris, Sept. 23.-Is Gen. Kuroki the
Nemesis who now takes revenge on Rus
sia for the wrongs of Polandy IL really
seems so, as has been proven beyond
doubt that the famous Japanese general
is of Polish descent. The proof comes
from his own nephew. NJ. Poliakoff, a
resident of Roston-on-Don
In signed letter to the Russian pa
per, Priazovsky Krai, he says; when
some time ago Japanese student, Po-
sake Ozuna, made the statement that
Gen. Kunoki comes from a Polish fami-
ly he found no belief.
Il am. however, in a position to provo
the truth of this remarkable statement.
after the Polish insurrection in 1896
the magnate Kurovski was forced to flee
from Russia with his younger brother.
On his fight he fell in with a tribe of
Don Cossacks and attracted by the free
dom of their existence, he secretly left
his brother and followed his new friends
to Novotcherkask.
Upon finding out his identity. how
ever, the Cossacks We're cared and told
their hetman of the presence among
them of the young Kuroyski.
"The hetman Immediately reported it
directly to Car NiclioIas l., who, how
ever, simply ordered the Pole to change
his name to Poiakof and to take per-
manent residence at Rostow and not only
pardoned him. but gave him considerable
real estate in that city, which is now
owned by myself and my brothers. ''
THE other Kurovsk fled to Japan, and
his brother, who had been pardoned. kept
up regular correspondence with him.
''When Poliakoff died he left two sons,
Michael (myself) and Benedict. and we
have continued this correspondence, and
| have in my possession several letters
from NJ. Kuoki who has also often
sent liSce Japanese keepsakes to my
daughters"
