KILL EIGHTEEN POLICE.
Trouble Over Abdicatlon Of Korean
Emperor Results in Slaughter.

Seoul Korea.-A company of Korean
troops escaped from the barracks
without their officers and attacked the
police station on the main street at
the Great Bell. After firing several
volleys they scattered, continuing a
desultory firing and attacking individ-
ual Japanese. They were joined by
the populace, who used stones and
clubs. Ten wounded already have
reached the hospital in the Japanese
quarter, where the Japanese are flock
ing for refuge.
Seven Japanese and four Koreans
dead, and three japanese and two
Koreans wounded were seen. General
Hasegawa is sending dismounted cav
airy to reinforce the police, who are
now searching for the mutineers. The
military has been ordered out
While at the residence of the gen
eral an outbreak OF the people was dis
credited, General Hasegawa's appre-
hension has been fulfilled.
The police lost eighteen men killed
and nine wounded.
The leaderes of the conspiracy have
been arrested. A large quantity of
rifles and machetes was found In the
houses of the conspirators. The
toops remained loyal.
The abdication edict of the Emperor
is his first communication to the world
since the reputation of the convention
OF 1905. A translation of the text Of
the edlct follows:

ancestors on the throne forty-four
