successful in obtaining rights of

nearly all those who have failed 70

will be begun and never stopped

SO far as we are aware there is no

Our village assumes an idyllic

JAPAN EXA ASPERATES
STATE DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Betel To-
bago savages in Formosa caused the
death of eight members of the crew of
the American ship Benjamin Sewall
and treated other members of the crew
in a cruel manner when that ship was
wrecked in Formosan waters some
time ago. The story is told in Official
correspondence published at the State
Department to-day
When the Japanese Governments at
tention was called to the incident ii re-
piled that the Government Of Forlnosa
would efficiently and strictly censure
the savages and will warn them not
to repeat such conduct again in
future.
Loomis, the acting Secretary of
State, promptly directed the American
Minister in Toxic TO say TO the Jap
anese Government that something
more impressive than censure may
suggest itself TO the mind of that Gov
erament"
The Japanese Government accord
ingly adopted punitive measures. but
found great difficulty in executing them
intelligently because they could not
make the natives understand for what
they were being punished.
This Government then suggested that
several of the native chiefs known to
nave been implicated in the incident be
imprisoned until some of the Formosan
officials could master their dialect and
make them understand why they were
being punished.
BOSTON, April 13.-The ship Benja-
min Sewall hailed from this port, and
her owners, who resided in Boston and
vicinity, called the attention of the
State Department to the Formosa out
rage last year. soon after the captain
reported the affair.

WASHINGTON. April 13.-Oficial
correspondence made public at the
State Department to-day discloses the
fact that the japanese Government in
announcing to the American Minister
in Toxic on February 1 6 of last year

of the diplomatic exchanges between
Washington and Toxic as the depart

and among the first is the following
official paraphrase OF a cablegram
