SERIOUS - RIOTS AT YOKOHAMA
Received September 15, 8.35 a.m. TOKIO, September 14. An armed mob of 2000, chiefly coolies, boatmen, and outcasts, attacked tho polico station, Customs houses, official residences, and largo commercial establishments at Yokohama.
Forty police were injured in the riot, which was quelled by tho troops, who finally succeeded in restoring order. Tho universal denunciation of peace continues unabated in the principal cities. Baron Katsura has assured the Provincial Government that in order to realise tho fruits of victory it would be necessary to exhibit tho same remarkable enterprise and national energy in tho expansion and commercial development of the nation as was' displayed in th' 3 war.
Tho Japanese newspapers are indignant at tho peace riots being compared to tho Boxor outbreak, and insist that they arc not associated with anti-for-eign or anti- Christian feeling.
