ASIATIC EXCLUSION
THE AMERICAN REPLY. WHAT WILL JAPAN DO? FORWARD POLICY TO CHINA. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright) (Sun Cable.) TOKIO, June 22. It is unofficially stated that the Cabinet has decided to notify America that the latter’s reply is regarded as unsatisfactory, and then drop the matter, pending the American presidential election, and the installation of a new Ambassador. It is stated that Cabinet has decided to adopt a forward policy towards China, taking steps to demonstrate J apanese friendship with other Orientals, and some administrative leaders advocate Japan taking a lead to secure the abolition of extra-territorial claims against China. CALIFORNIAN SENSATION. JAPANESE MURDERED. NEW YORK, June 22. There have been several violent crimes against the Japanese in California during the last few days, which some newspapers are inclined to accept as evidence of an *amti-J apanese outbreak. The bodies of two well-dressed Japanese were found on a lonely seashore road near San Pedro, having been shot from ambush. The bodies were horribly mutilated. The victims have not been identified, and there is no clue to the perpetrators. The second incident was at Los Angeles, where a Japanese salesman was dragged from a motor-car by a party of men and women, and threatened with tar and feathers unless he immediately left the district. Other demonstrations against Japanese are reported.
