SEOUL, Aug. IL Evening -
Unverified official returns from this
mornings conflict between Japanese
troops and thefirst battalion of the
First Shiwa regiment, give the num-
Der killed and wounded as 90 Ko-
reans and 40 Japanese.
About 5000 men willingly dis
banded, marching without arms
through the parade grounds where.
according to rank they received
gratuities ranging from 90 to 80 yen.
Major Paksung Huan, commander
of the first battalion of the First
Shiwa regiment returned to the bar
racks and committed suicide. This
excited his subordinates. and also
battalion of the Second Shiwa, who
attacked two Japanese officers and
their orderlies.
One battalion marched on the
south gate, where a clash occurred in
which Captain Kajaiwara and two
others were killed.
Over 100 Koreans escaped with
their rifles and divided into two
bands. They are still abroad but on
account of the heavy rain no trouble
is expected tonight. The rescript of
disbandment which is attributed to
the Iwayung, but for which the Jap
anese say Marquis Ito is also respon-
sible, begins by saying that the exist
ing army of hirelings Is unfit for the
national defense and orders them to
disband and receive a gratuity and
not to commit any reprehensible acts.
