Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received October 21.)
(No. 164.) (Telegraphic.) P.
Peking, October 21, 1908. I HAVE received the following telegram to-day from His Majesty's Acting Consul- General at Mukden, reporting an affray between Japanese soldiers and Chinese police in the Chientao district :----
"I am informed by the local Foreign Office that a detachment of Chinese police who had been sent to protest against the erection of certain barracks by the Japanese in the Chientao district were fired upon by Japanese soldiers. Of the Chinese police, who were unarmed, eight were wounded, of whom two have since succumbed to their wounds."
