RISING IN KOREA.
ANTI-JAPANESE MOVEMENT. FOUR THOUSAND ARRESTS. DEMAND FOR INDEPENDENCE. SHANGHAI, March 14. On the occasion of the funeral ceremonies of the former Emperor of Korea, a general outbreak in favour of independence occurred throughout the peninsula. The movement has been strengthened by the belief that the Paris Conference has sanctioned the independence of Korea. Thousands of Koreans paraded tJie streets and came into collision with the gendarmerie. Hundreds of arrests were made. The disturbances continue in the provincial towns. The action of the Koreans in raiding police stations resulted in bloodshed on both sides. Japanese reports estimate that at least 4000 Koreans, mostly students, have been arrested. The casualties are not announced. Some Japanese newspapers assert that the missionaries instigated the disturbances.—(Renter.)
