We take this to menn that there were European eye witnesses of the fact that the condnet of the Clince was not such as to provoke the Japanese, a fact whiel now appears to have been officially established, and that the unprovoked violence of the Japanese and their making war upon the unoffending untives gave get ground for crediting the reports of their subsequent conduct. That, we sunat confess, vecans to us a reasonable position to asume, To construe the passage quoted in such a way us to convey the meaning that there was a European eye-witness to every individual act of violence would be a straining of words, but Europeans certainly saw enough to afford strong presumptive evidence of the truth of the tales afterwards told them by the Chinese. It was of course anderstood from the outset that what took place was without the sanction of the Japanese Gornament and the higher officials and the when the matter came to their knowledge they would severely deprecate such proceedings, but that did not alter the facts then actually transpiring. Now that it is admitted that there was provocation for the subcilion and that the Japanese soldiery failed to diseri minste betweez the peaceful and the hostile, it hardly seems worth while to argue as to whether there may or may not have been some exaggeration in the reports received. Substantially the charge has been proved.
