MURDERED AMERICAN SAILORS.
Japanese Authorities No Not Look Upon
1t AS Serious Matter.

Washington, December 22.-Further
details of the killing Of the two American
sailors attached to the United States
fleet in Japan have been received here.
Montgomery, who was killed in Yoko-
hama in September last, was not intoxi-
cat61, but was murdered by boatman
Epps, who was killed at Nagaski during
the present month, was returning aboard
ship when murdered. The testimony
shows that he was perfectly sober. Sail
Ors on passing ship saw him being
thrown overheard from his boat. His
body was found several days later in the
bay. The japanese government was ap-
pealed to in each case, and while some
arrests have been made, the American
contingent in Japan feel that the perpe-
traitors of the murders are still at large.
The officials at the Japanese legation to.
day stated that the matter had not yet
been brought to their attention.
The officials do not regard the matter
as serious. They say the japanese gov
eminent gives the anplest protection to
foreign citizens and sailors and that if
there has been any laxity in these cases
the government will make the fullest in
curry and PREPARATION. 1t is pointed out,
however, that crimes of a local and in
dlvldual character, cannot assume an in
terna6lonal aspect. In the ARRAY at Kobe
last september in which number OF
American sailors from the Yorktown
were injured, 1t is said that the trouble
was between the sailors and the coolies,
and that the japanese police assisted the
American sailors.
The cases are said to be similar to a
number of others which have occurred
in the Western States in which Japanese
subjects have been assaulted by mobs.
Several of the latter cases are now pend
ing before the State Department, COM
plants having been made By Iapanese.
