violence, inspired his army with hat
red of the Japanese and set on foot
variety of cunning intrigues to get
back his throne, but the Mikado's
representatives complain that he has
caused a serious detection in the new
cabinet, and. worst of all, has die
tated actions of the new emperor, his
son, inducing him, among other
things, to refuse to sign a proclama-
ton the new cabinet had drawn up
Ito calm the people and restore or
der"
The first Conspiracy" laid to the
emperor was his ordering the imper-
ial guard to seize the palace last Fri
