Tokio, Oct. 30. The Formosa aborigines are stubbornly resisting, and severe fighting is continuing. The troops yesterday recovered 84 decapitated corpses of policemen, civilians, women and children.
A Tokio message of October 28 said: Owing to the failure to pay their wages a; group of aborigines, estimated at 2000, rose up at Haichu, an inaccessible district in Formosa, massacred the police, burned the out-stations, and seized over 100 rifles. Over 200 Japanese are dead and the number of wounded is large. The authorities are retaliating with a punitive expedition.
