THE MANILA TIMES" COMMENTS.
The Manila Times, writen editorially :- From such later detalls as have been re- ceived from China coast papers of the tragedy at Lion-tbau, north of Canton, it appears that the outrage was spontaneous rather than premeditated,
Doubtless the temper of the natives of the district had been rendered dangerous by the reports of the boycoll against Americans, and though the leaders of the move- ment for the exclusion of American goods deny any connection with the outbreak Lien-chat, there is evidence which goes to prove that they had inflamed the minds of the inhabitants of the prefecture and the victuity by complying with a request to furnish them incendiary literature. Aroused by the placards against the foreign devils", it doubl less needed but a spark to kindle them lato open wrath and violence, and unfortunately: this was furnished by some innocent act of Dr Machle:

JAPANBSBMI VLADIVOSTOK
ADVICE OF THE FOREIGN OFFICE,
With regard to the refusal of the police al Vladivostok to allow Japaness to land, the Kobe Chamber of Commerce has made inquiries af the Commercial Bureau of the Foreign Office making what steps the Government intends to kako.. On the 7th Inst. the Kobe. Chamber je-
Ceived a reply to the effect that Japanese should refrain from going to Vladivostok until notice has been given by the Government. Inquiries
are at present being made by the authorities.
As reported the other day the probibliian has been removed, according to a cable received by Japanese firm, but doubtless the Government, in advising Japanese to remain sway from Via. divostok for the lime being, desires to arrive at a proper understanding with the Russian authorities. The barsh and unexpected treat. ment of the Japanese complained of certainly requires some explanation,
