Att. Communication Our Orr

Friends, who came over from Antung on learning of his arrest, and who tried to see him and do some-

Mr. Suaw's Hovse So From the time of Shaw's arrest! his private residence which stands, in spacious grounds, was practically surrounded by Japanese police belonging to the Korean Government gendarmerie, they guarding) Jail entrances and approaches to the property, questioning, examining! and searching all native servants arriving and leaving notwithstanding the fact that the property question is in Chinese territory. This fact was brought to the Japan. ese Consul's notice by Mr. Shaw's brother, and the former was oblived to acknowledge that he had placed the police there at the reest of the Korean (Japanese) government.

On the 15th instant, the next day, Mr. Shaw's brother again called on the Japanese Consul who! informed him with apparently great, glee that the guard had been removed from his brother's property The reason of their removal, no' doubt, was that the British Consul to Mukden had pointed out that this action was an infringement upon Treaty Port rights and that} the Chinese authorities' on their' lown initiative had also lodged a protest at the Japanese Consulate. On the 15th instant the British Vice-Consul_ managed to get an interview with Mr, Shaw in prison. The chief of police and an inter-prefer accompanied Mr, Cunningham who was told he must say nothing relating to the case and who s allowed to remain only five minutes in the prison, the police chief placing his watch on the table.
