Okubo. commander-in-chief Of the Jap
anese army Of occupation Of Korea,
called his stan into consultation today
to outline a plan Of campaign against
the Korean outbreak, which is hourly
expected.
The assassination Of Prince Ito at

rest in Korea. in addition to the bitter
anti-Japanese sentiment which is al
ways present. General Okubo has
planned to go to Tokyo to attend the
funeral of Prince Ito on Thursday, but
the conditions in Korea caused him TO
abandon the trip.
The outbreak at Seoul on last Friday
night, when several hundred rioters
fired the railway station there, is gen
erallg accepted as the signal for a gen
erai uprising. The rioters. who started
from the city TO arouse the surrounding
country, were dispersed by a detach-
ment OF troops from the Seoul garrison.
1t is expected In the event Of a gem
eral outbreak re-enforcements will be
rushed from Tokyo In order to quell the
