THE TAKU INCIDENT.
NO RETALIATION EXPECTED.
JAPAN’S FORBEARING ATTITUDE. BY CABLE—PBESB ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. Received 1.32 p.m. to-day. TOKIO, March 14. In reference to the Chinese attack on Japanese destroyers, the Foreign Office states that it does not expect to retaliate, but will demand an absolute assurance tnat there will be no recurrence in future. It is said that the principal fear is the anger of the Japanese public, but the attitude of the people is believed to be much different to that of a decade ago, when such an incident would have aroused terrific indignation. One destroyer proceeded to Port Arthur with the wounded, while the others are anchored at Taku awaiting instructions. The Government is awaiting suggestions from the Allied consular officers in dealing with Tientsin. It is stated that Japan may act independently, but it is hoped that the Powers will agree to some method of future protection. The matter of the punishment of the Chinese attackers and of obtaining indemnities will be considered by Japan later.—Reuter.
