Shanghai, June 12.

With the despatch of three Japanese warships to Nanking, the Kuramoto Disappearance appears to be taking on a more serious complexion.

It is freely alleged in some of the Chinese news- papers that an incident is being created by the Japanese with ulterior motives.

The Japanese destroyer Ashi left Shanghai for Nanking yesterday, apparently in connection with the Kuramoto affair, while the cruiser Tsushima is scheduled to sail for the capital to-day.

It is also reported that the cruiser Idzumo is now on her way from Hankow to Nanking.-Reuter.
