If Japanese tops bave really been gallty of cruelty and excesses in Formoss, it is well that the facts should be published, and that the con- demnation of the world at large should be Invoked. Bat before wa credit the statements tharfar recorded, It is a duty imposed by javice to scrutinize them carefully; a duty all the more "Imperative when we remember that sweeping and terrible accusations of a similar character, brought against the Japanese on previous Occasion, were proved to be Chinese fabrication, entirely without basis in facts, and a clumsily invented that they bore intrinsic evidencas of falsehood. Let us see, then, sayt the Japan Mail, what wariant we have for crediting the things now written.

In the first placo, we observe that not a single European or American witnessed the atrocities complained of: they rest entirely upon Chinese testimony. There were only two foreigners al Hoon-nim (Yon-lr) when the trouble com- menced: "the rest had left the district a week Or so prior to the outbreak." Of these two, one, Mr. Olla, was killed by the insurgents; the other, Mr Patel, barely cacapel their rifis. It

Not one at the foreigners in question could have had any Information except whal was derived from Chinese sources. We len aw, from the letter of Lanther corespondent who refers to the death of Mr. Ollia, tha: no postive details of the tragedy have been obtained, owing to the pre- sent isolation of the disaffected districts." It Gually results, therefore, that the cruelties alleged against the Japanese soldiery Immediately preceding the insurrection are attested by Chinese witnesses solely1

That night it "reached a village eight miles distan', and finding only them and burned the women there, slaughtered place. The next day, it burned three other vil lages, and "killed about 200 people, sparing as male, not even children," Then, so far as the particulars of their proceedings are concerned, these 150 soldiers disappear from the stage. Wo are simply told that they "barned and pillaged from 73 1095 villages. It took them a day (the 23rd) to burn three villages; how long must the burning and plilaging of from 70 to 90 bave occupied?

The political alustion has been only partially relieved by the yielding of Gerald Balfour to the pressure for modification of the amendments to the land bill. There is a continuance to-day of the demands of Mr. Rassell and others for farther modlications of the measure, while the press and people generally are giving expression to sentiments of extreme disgust at the feeble. ness displayed by the Government.

Whether Japanese soldiers, petty civil officials, and Coolles have or have not been guilty of crusky in Formess we do not pretend to say, Our own Information goes to show that after the insurrection of last January much roughness was shown by the soldiers towards the people, and some lawlessness by the milliary coolles, walle melther the local officials nor the junior officers made any vigorcos attempt Let s now turn to the insurrection itself, an

Then came the tocorrection of last January. No ore, at that time, suggested or imagined that the rebels had been gonded by Japanese excesses, to take the 6-14 Quile different notion pre- valled, namely, that the measures taken by the Japanese to stamp out the spirit of disaffection had been insufficient. The wholesale murders of peaceful Japanese and the barbarous methods purau-d by the insurgents in January are matters of history, and it is farther on record that repetitions of such outbreaks were foretold, in. view of the Intractable temper of some of the Inhabitants. With these facts before us, can we believe that the Hook-alms bandits consisted solely of men who had been driven to desperation

The Japanese soldiery and gendarmes "? Japanese authorities allege that the bandits were remnants of the old fasorgents and that Hoon aim and its vicinity had for years been a locus of disaffection. Which of the two explana- tions seems the more credible? Moreover, it does not appear teniczable to imagine that the #constant-occurring visits and raids" referred to could have been acts of purely wanton cruelty perpetrated by Japanese soldiers and gendarmes. If such things were done they must have been prompted by lawlessness on the part of the Formosans; a conclusion that throws additional light on the true character of its Kaon-alm bandits.
