JAPS EXECUTE
CONSPIRATORS
Cut the Heads Off of Thirteen Chinese
Conspirators of Formosa Who
Tried to Start Something.
TOKIO, Japan, Jan. 2.—The mili
tary authorities of Formosa today
publicly executed thirteen conspirat
ors against the Japanese government,
who were convicted of organizing a
rebellion against the Mikado. The
executions took place in the public
square and the Chinese method of
cutting off the heads was resorted to.
Considerable uneasiness is felt here
at the many recent attempts to start
a rebellion among the Chinese of the
islands, which were captured from
China during the Chinese-Japanese
war, and . also at the constant at
temps of citizens of this country who
desire to organize a republic and de
throne the emperor.
An extra division of troops has been
sent from here to Formosa to estab
lish peace in the islands.
