VLADIVOSTOK TROUBLE
JAPAN STRICTLY NEUTRAL. WILL DISARM RIVAL FACTIONS. Reuter’s Telegram. (Received June 3, 5.5 p.m.) TOKIO, June 2. Official reports on the political revolt at Vladivostok states that Merkulov was arrested by the order of the Legislative Assembly, backed by the Liberal elements. As far as is known the affair was within Vladivostok itself, but maybe it was the beginning of a coalescence at Vladivostok of the ChitaJapane6e army. The report from Vladivostok to-day follows the Vladivostok scene of political changes. The Japanese are preserving strict neutrality, and should the militia or other armed forces join either faction, thus causing hostilities, or should the political factions resort to arms, the Japanese will immediately disarm them and preserve order. There is no confirmation here of the resignation of the President at Pekin, which proves it is not tme. Japanese officials are inclined net te attach undue importance regarding the step. Such an expediency is without fundamental reason, and. in any event, will not alter the Japanese policy. -
