The navy department has asccr-
tanned that upon the Maine were sew

cooks or other servants, and these

has come to the japanese government
through the State department.
The state department has ascer-

There was disposition in some
quarters to attach considerable signi-
licance TO this statement, but So far
as could be learned from official
sources the information was given at
the requst of the Japanese lega-
tion for the purpose Of allowing the
legation to notify the friends aud rel
rtives Soon after the disaster the
navy department sent the Japanese
legation an unofficial list OF the Japa-
nese on board the Maine at the time

ter of Japanese names caused some
confusion in Identification particular

There are number OF Japs ia the

relatives frequently lose track Of them.
IL was stated at the legation that the
purpose of the inquiry is TO establish
just who was aboard the Maine aud
to distinguish between the lost and
saved
In other quarters the question was
raised as to the right Of Japap TO par-
ticipato in any indemnity which might
be claimed if the disaster proved to bc
IF external origin Officials differed in
their views IL Is claimed by some
that the wearing of the United States
uniform took away from the japanese
subject his attributes as citizen
of Japan. Moreover, il is pointed out
the loss occurred while these meu
were Ia the service OF the United
states. On the other hand, il Is con-
tended that japan always jealously
