Life Sacrifice by General Nogi
and His Wife Excites
All Japan.
FOLLOWED ANCIENT CUSTOM
Preparations for Splendid and
Imposing Funeral for the
Devoted Couple.
tBy Federal Wireless Telegraph,

TOXIC, Japan, September 14.-(Spe-
cial to The Advertiser) -Grief-stric
for the death of the Emperor, Mutsu-
hito, whose body this evening was con-
signed to the tomb in Momoyama near
Kioto, the Japanese capital today is al
ready preparing funeral rites scarcely
less impressive than those of royalty
for General Maresuki Nogi, the hero of
Port Arthur, who, with his wife, COM
mitted kara-kiri just as the body of
Mutsuhito was borne from the palace on
its journey to Kioto.
Toxic was hardly surprised that
Count Nogi, descendant of the first
Samurai family of Old Japan, should
elect to die according to ancient Gus
tom to serve his master in the realm of
shades, but it is declared today to be
unprecedented that his wife should
have shared his sacrifice and as result
of the double tragedy, it is feared today
that when the couple are buried an cpl
demic of hara. kiri may be started which
will gravely concern the most ancient
houses of the Empire.
Today the bodies of General Nogi
and his wife lie in the simple home IN
Akasaki where they ended their lives
by the ancient method of sacrifice as
old as Nippon.
Out of a maze of conflicting reports
current when the tragedy first was made
public it has been ascertained that
Count Nogi, in full uniform, and hi.
wife in state raiment of the Old Nip
Don, ended their lives before a photo
graph of the dead Emperor and will
photographs also of General Nogi's two
sons who were killed in the siege o.
Port Arthur, which sealed Russia
hope of empire in the Far East.
Each of the old couple died in accord
ance with ancient custom, each cutting
across the abdomen with sharp sword
said to have been the one General Nog
wore when General Stoessel yielded u
the keys of Russia g Gibraltar. Besid
the bodies when they were found was
letter to Emperor Yoshihito. Nothing
has been given out as to its contents
There was also communication to tn
encouragement of the general staff o
the Japanese army asking that he al
range for the disposal of the bodies.
Throughout the whole country is run
ming wave of admiration for the dea'
soldier. No details have been finall
settled yet as to the way in which hi
memory will be honored, nor as to whe
the funeral will be held, but 1T has bee
decided that the tribute to Nogi an
mis- wife will be on a scale commensu
rate with his sacrifice, and it is expect
ed that their obsequies will almost riva
that of the Emperor, for love of whor
thew died

Especial to The Advertiser Officially

strongly disposed the United States
government might be towards securing
peace in the Mediterranean, no consid-

sufficient weight to justify departure
