NEWPORT r. L., Dec. 24.-Commander c.
II, stockton. U. s. N, who commanded the
Yorktown at the time when, two sailors,
Frank Epps of New York and Seaman Frank
Montgomery. attached to the Asiatic fleet,
were killed by the japanese at Nagasaki has
just returned to his home here. Commander
Stockton said to an Associated Press repre-
sentative last evening that Montgomery was
landsman on the Yorktown, and was one
of the berth deck cooks and had been re-
stricted to ship on account of drunkenness.
Commander Stockton. from memory, then re-
cited these instances of Montgomery's death:
Last August, Montgomery, in company
with a marine, left the Yorktown without
permission, while the ship was in the harbor
of Nagasaki Japan. The men swan to the
shore. Two days later Montgomery's body
was found by Japanese boatmen in the water
and 1t was taken to the police station. Com
mander Stockton was notified, and he sent q
petty officer ashore to identify the body and
accompany IL on board the vessel.
Finding marks OF violence on the body
Commander Stockton ordered a board OF OH
GERS to hold an inquest. From investigation
of the case, and from the evidence obtain
able, the officers came 10 the conclusion that
Montgomery had died, not from drowning
| but from violence at the hands of some per
son or persons unknown. Commander Stock
ton reported the case to the United States
consul at Nagasaki, to the police authorities
on shore, and to the Navy department;
through the admiral Of the Asiatic station
and also held an interview with the chief OF
I police of the district, and disabused his mind
OF the idea that Montgomery had died from
accidental drowning.
The evidence given by the marine who ac.
| companed Montgomery showed that the lat.
! ter had not drunk to excess. and was seen
about IL o'clock on the night of the alleged
murder with roll of japanese banknotes
| wrapped in canvas in his hands, and was
! displaying his money to his shipmates. Nc
| trace of Montgomery's murderers was found
| up to the time the Yorktown left Nagasaki
! September Is last, the vessel then being

NEW YORK, Dec. pa dispatch to the
Tribune from London says The officials at

ication over the result of the amount of
the indemnity awarded. which exceeds that
which congress refused to pay. The English
press has constantly been reproaching Ameri-
cans for not paying their bill of damages
after the general decision of the Paris tri-
bunal had gone against them. Inevitably the
charge OF bad faith will be revived IL con-
gress should again refuse to sanction the
agreement reached by the sealing comms
sioners. The prompt settlement of the bill
OF damages agreed upon by Judges Putnam
and King will promote the chances OF a
reasonable adjustment OF the sealing ques-
ton now at issue. Otherwise the present
regulations will remain In force indefinitely
under the Paris award after 1t has been
shown that they are inadequate for the pro-
lection of the seals.
