Killing of Japanese by Russians,
Who Are Demanding Money.

Washington, April 6.-An armed
force of Japanese was landed today
from cruisers to guard the Japanese
embassy at Vladivostok. The inter-
vention followed the killing of one
Japanese and the woundng of five
others, by Russians, who entered a
Japanese office and demanded money.
Future action of the Japanese navy
will be influenced by the attitude of
the Russians. 1t is understood the
Japanese naval force is ample to cope
with any hostile move by the unruly
element of the city.
The landing Of the Japanese was
reported to the State Department late
today by the American consul. Up to
a late hour details of the Japanese ac-
ton were lacking. The Japanese en-
bassy here declined to comment upon
the situation except to say that the
move was in line with their policy to
use armed forces to guard the lives OF
Japanese citizens.
