British naval units bombard and largely destroy the Japanese city of Kagoshima on the island of Kyushu

British naval units sailed from Yokohama to the port of Kagoshima on Kyushu to demand reparations for earlier depredations in the region controlled by the anti-western Prince of Satsuma .  When fired upon, the British answered with a full scale bombardment of the city and vessels in the harbor.  Casualties were light but Kagoshima suffered extensive material damage and the Satsuma clan eventually gave up its anti-Westernism.

In the Shimoneseki Straights, the U.S.S. Wyoming attacks Japanese anti-western naval units

The fiercely anti-Western Chōshū clan, based in Shimoneseki on the island of Honshu, had been fanatically enforcing Emperor Komei's order for the expulsion of westerners, attacking foreign shipping.  The U.S. warship Wyoming, with two French ships, entered the Shimoneseki Straights, sunk two vessels, and shelled shore installations to punish the Chōshū for their treaty breaches. Four U.S. Navy men were killed in the attack. (By John Osborne)

Off the island of Honshu, Japanese anti-Western factions fire on a visiting Dutch warship

The fiercely anti-Western Chōshū clan, whose domain was in Shimoneseki on the island of Honshu, had been fanatically enforcing Emperor Komei's order for the expulsion of westerners, attacking foreign shipping.  The Dutch warship Medusa, with the Consul aboard, approached the Chōshū stronghold to negotiate but was fired upon and only escaped at high speed and with the deaths of four Dutch sailors. (By John Osborne)

On the deadline for all foreigners to be expelled, Japanese factions begin attacking Western shipping

The Japanese Imperial Court had announced three weeks before that all foreigners were to leave Japanese soil by this date. The fiercely anti-Western Chōshū clan, whose domain was in Shimoneseki on the island of Honshu, began attacking foreign shipping at the deadline, starting with the U. S. merchant ship Pembroke bound for Shanghai. The vessel was able to escape and inform Western authorities. (By John Osborne)

Japan pays an indemnity Britain demanded for attacks on its people and property in the country

The day before the Imperially decreed deadline for the expulsion of all foreigners from Japan, officials attempted to placate British rage at the development by suddenly paying £110,000 previously demanded for the earlier killing of a British national and damage to the British Legation.  The event did not prevent the serious international incidents which were to follow.  (By John Osborne)
