WASHINGTON, July 3l.--It Is the opin-
Ion In diplomatic circles here that the Jap
anese have made grave error in sinking
the transport Kow-Shing, and one that Is
likely to cost them much money In reparh-
tion. besides thehumnintlonof Of apology.
Tho Row Shng was Of a line Of coast
Ing steamers belonging to Hugh Mathei-
son * Co. and trnding between Chinese
ports. The vessel was under the British
flag when she was sunk. Although she car
ried Chinese troops TO Korea, It is said here
that she did not In so doing violate the
laws Of neutrality, for there has been no
declaration OF war or open acknowledge
ment by either China OF Japan that state
Of war prevails.
Tho vessel, therefore. was engaged in
legitimate traffic, and the Japanese are
likely 10 pay dearly for sinking her and
destroying the lives OF the ships company.
