Nothing Serious Says Japan in Mukden Incident
The American legation in Pexia reports no new information on the invasion of Mukden's American consulate by Japanese officers and the clash with local staff. Japanese officials provided partial verification and regret that the matter was cable’d to the United States. Willard D. Straight, the Mukden consul general, is described as excitable. Japan minimized the episode. The incident followed a claim that Japanese entered to punish servants accused of attacking a postman, recalling a prior incident at the German consulate and reluctance to mete out punishment or reparations.
