Startling allegations regarding the alleged disappear- ance of cargo coolies aboard the Asama Maru are con- tained in the vernacular newspapers this morning but on enquiry we were informed by the N.Y.K, that there is not an atom of truth in these stories, which have caused much indignation among the Japanese community.
