MARTIAL LAW oUIETs TOXIC,
But Council of Progressive Party De-
nounces the Cabinet.

A cable from Toxic says: General Sa-
kuma's instructions to the troops preserv-
ing order In the capital have produced a
favorable impression. Since the proclama-
ton of martial law there has been no act
of violence necessitating the use of arms.
Order has apparently been restored. The
feeling of unrest has subsidized considerably.
Street cars. which were suspended Friday
night resumed their usual service today.
While active political agitation con-
tinues the prospect OF additional violence
Is decreasing. IT Is not yet known just how
many persons were killed or injured during
the rioting. Many of the wounded were
conveyed to their homes, thus concealing
their condition.
The Barristcrs' Association Is gathering
statistics OF the killed and wounded and II
is probable that it will report an accurate
list later. The number of arrests is with
held, but 1t will amount to many hundreds.
The council of the progressive party held
meeting today and passed resolution
strongly condemning the government for
concluding peace that is termed humiliat-
Ing and one that resulted in an uprising in
Toxic. necessitating martial law.
Count okuma. leader of the party, was
absent from the meeting owing to illness.
The resolution passed reads as follows:
THE peace concluded by our plenipoten-
tiaries is opposed to the purpose of the war,
forfets the fruits of victory and Is diamet-
really against the national interests. 1t is
lasting humiliation and the government
must be held responsible therefor. The In
efficiency of the police, resulting in the
proclamation Of martial law and the an
nulling OF the freedom of speech guaranteed
by the constitution, Is the greatest offense
since the establishment OF constitutional
government.
THE cabinet is responsible for this grave
offense."
The government has ordered the suspen-
sion of ASH, Toxic newspaper. 1t has
also ordered the suspension OF the Nippon,
conservative paper. and the Jinmin. q
radical paper. on account Of Objectionable
articles published dealing with The local
/ situation,
