Despatch 10 the Associated Press.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 2S.-Despatches to the
Navy Department were received this morning
from Admiral Rowan, commanding the Asiatic
squadron, dated from the United States flagship
Piscataqua, Yokohama, July %.
Anticipated War i'm Japan.
In anticipation OF the war in the northern part
of Japan, as indicated in previous dispatches,
the Aroostook, Lieutenant Commander Brad
ford had been ordered to Hakodadi to afford
any protection to our consul and any American
interest that might be there.
EnnomotO strongly Entrenched.
On the arrival of the AroostooI at the latter
place, Lieutenant Commander Bradford found
Ennomoto strongly entrenched and determined
to resist any attack on the part of the Mikado's
land and naval forces.
A Stratagem.
As soon as the Mikado's troops had got in the
rear of Ennomoto, it was determined to make a
combined attack by land and sea.
Foreigners Advised to Leave.
The leaders of both parties informed the con-
suls and commanders of ships of war that they
upu lp fpr ba ,T
foreigners in Hakodadi, and requested them all
withdrawn. The American Consul and his nume-
rous family and connections sought protection
on board of the Aroostook.
American Vessels at the Scene.
RearAdmiral Rowan despatched the Oneida
to Hakodadi, where she arrived in time to take
an equal portion of the persons who sought our
protection. The Iroquois, Commander Law, fol-
lowed, to remain if necessary; if not, to return
and report the state of affairs.
The StOnewall Does Service.
During the siege some good dashes were made
by both sides. One of Ennomoto's ships was
handled with ability but the Stonewall was
more than match for Il score like her.
EnnomotO Surrenders.
Ennomoto having lost his navy, and having
his fort knocked down by the Stonewall, sur
rendered to save useless loss of life, and is now
prisoner in Yeddo.
Foreigners TO be Protected.
Commander Williams had an interview with
the commander -in-chief of the successful forces,
who told him that foreigners would now be pro-
tected, whereupon he landed all the women AMI
children, and sent tie Aroostook to Nagasalli,
as directed.
The country is now AZ peace, and likely to re-
main so. The Tycoon is a voluntary prisoner in
his own castle, with his family.
An IL come Raced.
Tokagana, the most powerful and in
fuential dafmio, in the empire has been
deprived of much of his income by
order of the Mikado, at the instance, no
doubt of the southern princes, who combined
and deprived the Tycoon of the almost supreme
power which his family had held for hundreds Of
years.
The Japanese Government has advertised for
| proposals for the
Removal of EnnOnOtO's SunlSen Fleet
| from the harbor of Hakodadi.
Rear-Admrll Rowan, in a despatch dated
Yokohoma, July 2, reports the disposition of the
| fleet as follows:-The Piscataqua, flagship, ar
rived at Yokohama on the 2lst of June, the
| OneidaIand Idaho were at Nagasakie, Ithe Monos
| cacy and Iroquois at Yokohama, the Ashuelots
| at Hogo, the AroostOok at lIakodadi, the Mau-
| NEE at Foo Choo, and the Unadilla at Hong
| Kong.
