wicked act. Should diplomacy fail to
wiring about satisfactory solution the
only way open to US is an appeal to
arms. Our mind is firmly made up.
1t is certain that America will yield.
for its people are radically CONNER
cial."
This is the speech made by Viscount
FAM. leader of the opposition in the
house Of peers and head Of the defense
OF Kuamoto in the Satsuma rebellion.
Washington, D. G.. June 1o.-That
the Japanese Of the Pacific coast, and
the progressives. a political party OF
Japan, have entered into an alliance,
which has the earmarks Of an interna-
tional conspiracy. with the overthrow
Of the. present ministry in Japan and
the annulment Of the clause inthe i'm
migration biH excluding Japanese
coolie labor from continental United
States as the ultimate objects, was
learned here yesterday.
II The preliminary steps in this scheme.
1t is said, will be to induce Toxic to
recall Viscount Aoki, ambassador to
the United States, and to. demand an
apology and perhaps an indemnity for
alleged acts of violence against Japan
ese in San Francisco.
With this end In view, the represen-
tatives of the faction hostile to the
Saionji ministry have been in Wash
ington to consult with the Japanese
ambassador and the state department
officials regarding the objectionable
clause In the immigration bills, the
California school question and the re-
Cent riots in San Francisco.
The report which they have sent to
! Toxic it Is alleged, will form the ba-
sis Of a systematic campaign to bring
about anti American demonstrations in
Japan and to force Foreign Minister
Hayashi to demand indemnity and an
apology.
These facts became known when 1t
was learned that 7. Tikahasdi, repre-
sentative of the Seattle Japanese So
ciety; o. Noda, representative of the
San Francisco Japanese society. and K.
Kawakami. state representative of the
Yorozu, daily newspaper Of Toxic,
came to Washington, April 81 and re-
manned until May IL, during which
time they were negotiating with the
Japanese ambassador for annulment
of the Japanese immigration limita-
tion laws. This delegation failed in it's
purpose, and 1t is stated after charg-
4 ing Ambassador AoN with treachery
ito the Japanese Of the Pacific coast
and with disappearing conditions
to his home government. they tele-
graphed to Ototaka Yamaoka, the per-
sonal representative OF Count Okuma,
who was waiting their report in Seat
tie, with the request that he commun-
icate with the anti administration
leaders in Toxic.
Acting upon the suggestion of car
rying the fight into Japan Yamaoka
sailed for Japanese waters May IA,
and 1t was pointed out today that the
renewal of the anti-American agita-
& tion in the japanese press has begun
since his arrival in Toxic, May %. 1t
is also believed here that he prompted
& the deputation Of progressives to call
on Foreign Minister Hayashi for an
explanation Of the governments "ap-
Z parent inaction and want of efficiency
2 III the presence aOI pLe grave ulplouldllC
questions with the United States"
Yamaoka, who came about the al
lance with the Japanese of the Pa
cif1c coast, is now one of the recog-
nized leaders of progressives. fac
ton led by Toru Hoshi, formerly min
lister to the United States, who was
assassinated after he returned to To-
kio in 1907 to enter the cabinet. va
n,aoka is described as one Of the
shrewdest politicians in the empire.
It Is said that he will continue his fight
against the Saionji ministry with the
view Of getting control Of the pro-
gressives.
Or. Masuji Miyakawa, a Japanese
lawyer, who filed the Injunction suit
against the San Francisco school
board, was consulted by the Pacific
coast delegation during their stay in
this city.
