Affairs in Japan.
Despatch to The Eueaing telegram.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Navy Depart
ment is in receipt of official dispatches from
Admiral Rowan, giving an interesting account
of affairs in Japan up to the 9th of June.
The Japanese Parliament was in session. and
earnestly discussing the best mode of getting
rid of foreigners and clearing their country of
them. 1t is dangerous and unsafe for Euro
peans to travel without a guard.
The rebel Enomoto still holds out at Hako-
dadi with eight hundred or a thousand men,
against the whole power of the Mikado. His
vessels of war had lately had q desperate fight
with the Stonewall and other vessels belonging
to the Mikado, in which fight Enomoto lost both
his vessels, after a contest of two hours Emo
moto's men well know that their heads will
fall as soon as they are captured and
consequently they will fight to the last man.
Before leaving Shanghai for Yokohama the Ad-
miral gave the Chinese an opportunity of judg-
ing of American strength in the Asiatic waters
by the men from the flagship in battalion drill,
under charge of Lieut. Commander Roby D..
Evans. The battalion numbered $50 men uni
formed. They made fine display when drawn
up in line of battle, and the Admiral declares
they drilled and marched like regulars. The
newspapers were eXtrayagant in their compli-
ments.
At Kobi the Admiral gave permission to several
of the officers of the flagship to visit Osakl, one
of the largest cities in Japan. The Tycoons
palace at Osaka was at one time considered to
be the strongest fortified place in the East but
during the late war the Mikados demon
strations against the palace forced the Tycoon to
evacuate, which he did in good order, but
burned everything as he went. The palace is
built of granite, surrounded by a deep moat, and
comfortably accommodates seventy-fve thou
sand men.
