Toklo, June 25.— Public exclte-
m «it over the American questlou haa
almost passed away, but agitation is
still going on. It is mostly the work
of the politicians of the opposition,
who are employing the question ns a
weapon of attack upon the Ministry.
The Progressives and a coterie of
politicians called the “ Daldo Club,”
will likely Join hands in a combined
attack ou the Ministry over the
American question, their prtnclpul
aim being to strengthen their respec­
tive positions in the coming election
of local assemblies and also in the
general election next year.
Their principal watchword Is the
diplomatic Impotency of the Salonjl
Cabinet, which has resulted, they
say, in suffering to compatriots In
America and in inability to receive
treatment worthy of the subjects of
a first-class power.
It Is difficult to foretell how far
they can succeed in stirring up the
public, but whatever attempts are
made in the wny of agitation, actual
hostilities with the United Stntes are
not even dreamed of. The war talk
in some of the American press Is
totally ignored here.
