Bingham to Evarts, June 23, 1877
No. 202. Mr. Bingham to Mr. Evarts.
Legation of the United States, Tokei, Japan, June 23, 1877. (Received July 25.)
No. 587.]
Sir: Reports up to the 20th instant from the insurrectionary district in this empire seem to indicate that the rebellion is well-nigh suppressed. The semi-official reports are to the effect that the insurgents have been restricted to narrower limits than heretofore, nearly all of them being now in the province of Hiuga, on the east of the island of Kiu-Siu, and that the commander of six companies in the vicinity of Midzumoto has asked that he and his men, exceeding six hundred, be allowed to surrender as prisoners of war.
I have, &c.,
JNO. A. BINGHAM.
