Reports from Siberia recount an incident at Inman 170 miles north of the city where two American officers in uniform were seized by Cossacks led by Gen. Kalminoff. A detachment of 150 American troops from the Seventh went to secure their release. Hostages were taken, and after negotiations a telegraph demand led to a promise of release. The affair prompted calls for apology from the Cossack authorities and a formal inquiry into Japanese involvement in the incident.
