RUMOR
Fact Comes Out That Aoki and

pr. Miyakawa Says San Francisco
Trouble Is Not International, but
Simply American Question and
lie Blames II is Countrymen.
SIGNS OF AOKTS RE CAUL.
TOKIO, Juno is. There are strong
indications that Ambassador Aokl
will be recalled. There is an- Incli
nation to connect the rumor oV his
reported recall with Premier Satonjl's
audience with the Mikado ' this
morning, immediately after the
Cabinet council.
WASHINGTON, June 17. State Depart
ment officials and members of the diplo
matic corps were much interested today
lnthe statement in a Tokio newspaper
that the Japanese government probably
would recall Viscount Aoki. the Japanese
Ambassador, and is conferring the ap
pointment on Baron Kaneko as his suc
cessor. Officials of the Japanese Embassy
say that the Progressive party has taken
the San Francisco disturbance as a pre
text in an effort to bring about the
downfall of Viscount Aoki. and in this
ense it is pointed out here that Marquis
Ito has been inimical to Viscount Aokl
for many years.
It was stated authoritatively tonight
that, "if the Japanese government has
any intention of recalling Viscount Aokl.
the news will not be first announced
to the world through the columns of the
Hochl," and that"Ambassador Aoki does
not attach any credence to the report."
Kaneko Supports Cabinet.
Since his visit to the United States,
when the peace conference was being
conducted at Portsmouth, Baron Kaneko
lias had a great ambition to represent
Japan as Ambassador at Washington. He
is not a member of the anti-administration
party. He is a member of the privy
council and a loyal supporter of the
falonjl Ministry, and his appointment as
Ambassador to the United States would
not be considered as a concession to the
anti-administration forces.
In discussing the proposed recall of Vis
count Aokl, Dr. Masuja Miyakawa, the
Japanese lawyer, said:
"The San Francisco-Japanese question
is not an International question, but a.
simple American constitutional question.
The change of Ambassadors could not
change the constitution of America. The
feature of the Federal and state system
is the cause for the triumphs of the
American Government. The potentially
co-independent existence of National and
municipal administration is the bulwark
of liberty and an invaluable lesson for
the American people, if not for the
world's people.
AVU1 Xot End Trouble.
"The changing of Ambassadors would
not end the conflict and trouble between
groups of the Japanese race and groups
of other races in San Francisco. The con
flicts and troubles will never end, but on
the contrary, will multiply more and
more, for the trouble in San Francisco
is not a question for vigorous diplomacy.
"The solution is all up to the Japanese
themselves. So long as they will reside
in San Francisco, speak their own lan
guage, write in their own language, think
in their own language and avoid com
munication with the American people,
tliey can never minimize the causes of
the conflicts and troubles. So long as the
Japanese of America depend upon the
advice or Interference of their home gov
ernment, they must expect a continua I
tlon of troubles upon troubles. Ana. tor
that matter, even though the officials of
the Japanese imperial Embassy consisted
of the 12 Apostles of God, they could
never change the American constitutional
theory of "Indissoluble union composed of
indestructible states.' "
DO NOT KKPRESENT NATION
Japanese Constitutional Party Not
Excited About Hoodlums.
TOKIO. June 17. The text of a resolu
tion which has been adopted by the Con
stitutional party is as follows:
"The persecution of our compatriots is
deeply to be regretted, for the sake of
both America and Japan, but we must
not forget that there exists between the
two nations the closest friendship which
might almost be called an alliance. In the
face of the professions of the Government
at Washington and the American people
in general, such Incidents as are report
ed to have occurred must not be taken
as expressions of thetr -will. It is be
lieved, therefore, that the question, if
properly handled, is capable of a just and
Intelligent solution.
"We must refrain from becoming ex
cited over unlawful conduct on the part
of the people and thus injuring the na
tional cause. We expect that a proper set
tlement will soon be reached through
peaceful diplomacy."

repudiation of the confession which, it is
alleged, he made to Detective McPar

case, other than In the use of his name,
rests for the present. -
Orchard will be succeeded on the
stand by James Klrwan, acting secretary

Charles Neville, son of John Neville, wha
was a member of the party that accom
panied Orchard on his flight into Wy
oming after the Independence station
was blown up, arrived here today.
Orchard says that on the day before
the explosion he started out with Charles
Neville and his father, John Neville,
since deceased, and that after the party
went into camp for the night, he stole
away, mounted a horse, rode back to
join Steve Adams, set off the mine at
the station and then hurriedly rode back
to the camp. The youth's testimony as
to the events of that night should have
an Important bearing on the truth or
falsity of Orchard's story.
'The principal counsel for the defense
were in consultation with Haywood and
had an extended meeting at their office.
They have not as yet given any further
indication of their general plan of de
fense beyond generally expressing con
fidence In their ability to riddle he

CHINESE KILL OFFICIALS
Rebels in Southern Provinces Cap
ture Cities and Slay Rulers.
VICTORIA. Bl C., June 17. Further ad
vices regarding the rebellion in South
China received by the steamer Monteagle
today state that Sun Yat Sen, who for
years has been organising an ajiti-dynas-tio
movement in China left Tokio a few
weeks before the outbreak and Is report
ed leading the revolutionists near Swa
tow, having taken the field May 2 and)
opened operations by attacking the
walled city of Kwang Kong, which was
easily captured and all officials were
killed. '
Gaoplng and Lin Ching suffered simi
lar fates. - The government troops on
the Island of Manwo were attacked on
May 37 and defeated the revolutionists
then marching upon Cha Chow, which
also fell into their hands and all the offi
cials were promptly killed. Thousands of
refugees fled to Swatow, where foreign
warships assembled to protect the city.
The rebels carry banners inscribed "Na
tional army of Central Flowery Kingdom,
under General Isslmo Sun Yet Sen," and
following the example set by the Taip
lngs, they are posting notices that any
of their followers who offer violence or
death to people who do not oppose them
will be summarily killed and that arms
and accoutrements will be given to all
who join, none being compelled to do
so. Some foreigners are reported to be
among the rebel officers and many Chi
nese leaders are dressed in foreign style
and have removed their queues. Jap
anese newspapers commenting on the ris
ing, state that the accessibility of the
district will prevent the rebels getting
much headway without encountering? seri
ous opposition, as during the Talping out
break, but all regard the outbreak as
serious as Sun Yet Sen has been organiz
ing the movement for many years and Is
believed to have the support of secret
societies and other organizations through
out the empire. The Jijl Shimpo, which
prints dispatches from its own corre
spondent regarding the rebellion, says
that with the well-equipped and amply
drilled troops of modern China, the revo
lution must be crushed.
