Remonstrances by Chinese officials aboard a warship from Canton were unavailing, despite the presence <of a Japanese squadron. The-"Daily Mail's" Tokio correspondent reported last week that following the murder of a Japanese merchant, Junzo Nakano, by. a Chinese mob at Pakhoi, the naval authorities had ordered part of the Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla to proceed there from Shanghai, and also the gunboat Sagi with diplomatic investigators aboard.
