CONSULAR REPORT TELLS STORY

Japanese Representative in United States Sends Account of San Francisco Affair to His Government.

Document Will Be Made Public at Tokyo Tomorrow -- Tale Is Told in Graphic but Unsensational Manner.

By Associated Press, Special Cable, via Leased Wire.

TOKYO, Friday, June 14, afternoon. -- A consular report dated May 25, which tells in a graphic but unsensational manner the facts connected with the recent assaults upon Japanese in San Francisco, will appear in all the papers here tomorrow, and some expression of public indignation is expected.

It is likely, however, that the papers will conform with the official advice given them yesterday and refrain from the publications of any inflammatory matter, as any action in defiance thereof means punishment, provided for in the press law.

The Jiji this morning in its leading editorial which is evidently inspired, says that the recent assaults on Japanese in San Francisco were merely incidents growing out of the industrial troubles in that city and that they do not constitute a cause for diplomatic action.

The editorial advises that the authorities be trusted to mete out justice and deprecates excitement over the matter.
