4 member OF the mob which burned
the minister's residence said to the cor.
respondent Of the associated press:
We burned the house for the pur-
pose uf attracting the attention OF the
emperor. We want him to refuse :

surrounding him prevent him from

attitude toward the disgraceful. hui

Accurate figures Of the casualties arc

that one man was killed. that fourteen
were mortally wounded by sword
thrusts and that many people were
bruised with stoD4s and injured in the
c.ushes.
Another demonstration ID planned for
September 8, and il is believed that the
strongest measures will be necessary to
prevent serious riotInR and bl%oodshed.
An irritating feature OF the situation
is the continued fsi ure OF the govern
ment to inform the public Of the e=aut
results at Portsmouth. Not IL sipgie

communicated officially TO the people.
The result has been much popular re-
sentiment. The people argue that the y
