diplomatic significance is attached to
the announcement, made by President
Taft at the White House that Secre-
stary of State Knox will go to Japan as
the representative of the president at
the funeral ceremonies of the late En-
perOr Mutsuhite. In his announce

that he regards the forthcoming Knox
mission on level Of Importance with
the famous visit of Commodore Perry
to Japan more than half a century
ago, which resulted in the opening of
Japan to intercourse with nations of
the western world and influx of west

Secretary Knox, accompanied by
Mrs, Knox will leave Washington and
proceed to Seattle and there board an
armored cruiser Of the United States
navy which will convey him to Japan.
Ransford S. Miller, chief Of the divi-
sion of far eastern affairs of the state
department, will act as secretary of
the mission. Mr. Miller has lived
more than twenty years in the orient,
speaks Chinese and Japanese and is

fought desperately. The town was
looted.
Thirty-six soldiers and more than
twenty passenger3 were slaughtered
by Zapatists in canyon, one kilo-

south of Mexico City, when passen-

was attacked from ambush. Only
meagre details have reached this city.
So far as known only a part of the
train crew escaped. s
The first news Of the assault was
sent to Mexico City by the conductor
and Marine Collector Dominguez who
although wounded, had managed to
make their way to Yautepec, Is miles
away. They were forced to steal
through the Zapatista lines and did
not arrive at the telegraph station I'M

After murderous rifle fire had
ceased the rebels swarmed down the
hillside and set fire to the three cars
composing the train. A few of the
wounded had crawled out on the right
of way, thus escaping the fate Of those
unable to leave the cars, who were
burned. According to reports the lead
