FORJATACL (39).
I have the honour to confirm my telegram
hich I despatched to you on 2nd. instant and of which I enclos4 a coy en clair. I regret to inform you that on Sunday and Honday, 1st. and 2nd. of Yow-mber, serious rioting broke out in this Colony in connection with the Japanese Roycott. It would ap car so ter na I am at present able to judge, that the fact that the Roycott was becoming inoperative here and that rumours of its complete abandonment at an early day had gained credence, had prompted the "National Disgrace Society" at Carton to despatch
a body of men to organise a riot here and to destroy the pro- -perty of Chinese Ferchants and Tradewien who da-lt in Japanese goods. In reference to this I enclose a copy of report made to ne by the Police today.

The organization was directed solely against Chinese vendors, and I have heard of no instance in which a Japanese hop was injured. The riot attained such dimensions that I was under the necessity of calling out troops to restora order. I am taking drastic steps to deal with those Hongkong Chinese who have connived at or instigated this outrage, and to put a forcible end if that should be possible to the continuance of the Boycott,

I shall be obliged if you will explain to the Government of His Imperial Kajesty my great regret that this Colony should have been the scene of an emeute prompted
ill-feeling towards Japan, even though it ori-inated from a
le "ajesty'■ Ambassador,
TOKIO.
