The Rising Sun and Nagasaki Express of the 13th gives the following account of this deplorable affair From telegrams to band, it appears that the Imperial party had just left the Otsu Kencho, shortly after 2 p.m. on the Lith, most probably on the point of returning to the railway station to go back to Kioto, We presume the usual procession had formed and lined the route taken by the visitore, and that all the available police been mustered to preserve order ud clear the way. The procession was moving quietly along, when, without. the lightest warning, a police constable named Sanzo"Teuds, who wad on duty at the time, suddenly drew his sword and aimed a blow at the Czarevitch's head, striking him across the forehead with the edge of the weapon, and inflicting 'a¢serious, but not dangerous, wound. A police: inspector who. was just in front of the Czarevitch, at once disarmed him, and he was arrested. 'The Ozarevitch's wound was immediately attended to by the Russian doctor included in the' Prince's suite, and the prey hastened back to Kioto, where the rince still remains, and is, we believe, recovering from the shock sustained, The wound on his forehead is said three inches long, but not very deep., The probability at this report is underrated rather than exaggerated.
