The square of the town was the scene of the Indian incanta tions und their horrible human sac rifices. White prisoners and Indians friendly to the palefaces had there been tortured and roasted.

These unfortunates were tied to i>osts, and surrounded by pine wood, ready to be lighted Do consume them.

(inncaM Press Cerrssposdsere.) TOKIO, Nov. SO.—Belief that the next war will be the outcome of race prejudices Is expressed by Tukto <** akL formerly minister of Justice, and a leading member of the constitutional party. Mr. Oxakl said that In Ms opinion, the colored races steadily ware developing their civilian, tlon would demand finally the .same treatment as the white races, and that the result would be an armed oolllslon. Mr. Oxakl recommended that at the peace conference. Japan acting on be half of all the Asiatic race*, should Introduce the racial and population question* for consideration, and If powtble, secure a solution. In a country like Japan where the population Is Increasing with alarming Spidlty, he said It was but natural at the surplus population should try to obtain an outlet even by resorting to arms. From Japan's standpoint, said Mr. Osakl, the racial population questions were more Important than President Wilson's "fourteen points," as laid down for a btsts of Germany’s surrender. These racial questions, be said, concerned the future of millions I of souls in Asia. Mr. Osakl warned the Japanese not 1*_ ' I_Hi—I LA!i-.L-l?l i. ■ to develop the German system of state organization which in the present war had proved to be a mere machine for destroying civilization and for trampl ing underfoot the rights of other na tions and peoples. On the question of Japan’s occupa tion of the German South Sea Islands Mr. Ozakt declared that the 1'nlted States should dismantle her forts In tba Philippines and Hawaii, and that this would be more Important for Japan than the taking over of the South Sea Islands.
