Tokio, Feb. 9.
The Cabinet to-day decided that, in view of the excess of privileges demanded by German and Austrian prisoners in Japan, stricter cipline would be enforced in future that any attempts to spread prejudicial reports would be punished that closer supervision of Germans resident in Japan would be exercised and that those guilty of acts or publications calculated to disturb the peace or to injure the relations between Japan and America and other countries would be deported. All Austrians or Germans seeking admission to Japan must secure the permission of the military authorities.—Reuter.
