Legation of the United States, Tokei, Japan, March 7, 1877. (Received April 7.)
No. 518.]
Sir: After all that I have communicated hitherto on the subject of the Kagoshima insurrection, it seems due to this government” that I should inclose herewith, as part of the record, a translation of His Majesty’s order deposing Marshal Saigo, shosami (officer of the third rank under the government), and Kirino Toshiaki and Shinowara Kuni-kado, generals of the army and officers of the fifth rank.
I have the honor to inclose a translation of the proclamation of His Excellency Sanjô Saneyoshi, daijo daijin (prime minister), in which his excellency gives the reasons of His Imperial Japanese Majesty’s decree for deposing from office the several persons named.
I have, &c.,
JNO. A. BINGHAM.
