ENOM'OTO KAYLAIrRO, one of the Japanese young men of promise sent by the tycoon in 1802 to study in Europe. In Holland, E. obtained a solid training in science and naval practice, Returning to Japan in 1867, he was put in command of the Kaiyo Manz, a 26-guu vessel of 400-horse power. The revolution breaking out, and the tycoon being overthrown, E. endeavored to obtain from the United States minister, gen. Van Valkenbergh, the possession of the Stonewall, formerly a confederate iron-clad ram built in England, captured by the United States forces, and purchased and paid for by the tycoon's government. Being unsuccessful, E. left the anchorage near Yedo, with the seven war vessels under his charge, and sailed to Hakodadi. Being disowned.by his former master, E. declared himself and his forces independent, and set up a republic somewhat after the model of the United States, of which lie was elected president. This government continued for several months, but by June, 1869, the land and naval forces of the mikado had reached Yezo, and battles rapidly followed each other at Esashi, Matsumae, and Kikonai. Finally, June 4, the final conflict took place at Hako dadi. The three vessels of E. were opposed to the five flying the mikado's flag, one of which was the iron-clad ram Stonewall. A terrific naval battle was kept up during several days, while the land forces were engaged almost continually. The " rebel"
fleet and forts were utterly destroyed, chiefly by the iron-clad, and on the 26th, E. and the leaders surrendered. He was kept in prison until 1872, when he was pardoned and given a position in the Kai Takn Shi (department of colonization of Yezo). In 1874, he was made vice-admiral in the imperial navy, and sent to Russia as minister plenipoten tiary, negotiating the treaty by which Russia gave to Japan the Kurile islands in exchange for the southern half of Saghalien.
