Associated Press Dispatch by special Wires.
Washington, June IL. The JanRnese
Minister, Mr.. Toru Hoshi. was seen at
the japanese legation to day, and talked
in an informal way between cigar pura
% aoms of the recent phases Of the war
as they relate to interests OF the United
Stntes and Japan.
Mr.. Hoshi expressed special regret at
the recent action of Congress- in placing
duty Of 10 centa per pound on tea.
The effect of the law, he says, will be
comparatively small against other coun-
tries, az compared with that against
Japan, whose trade being in cheaD teas.
will be badly hurt by uniform tea
duty.
While Mr.. Hoshi does not question
the right of the United States to make
it's own schemes of international taxa.
tion, he thinks large tea duty was
not expedient at this time, when the
United States ia embarked on large
enterprises in the far East. Japan and
the United States are ou very amicable
terms, and Minister Hoshi feels that it
would have been expedient for this
government to cultivate friendly rela-
tions, both of sentiment and OF com
merce, with Japan, at the expense OF
the revenue to be derive from taxing
japan tenH While not no intended, the
people Of Japan will regard the duty as
discrimination on the part of the
United States against Japan, as il will
bear most heavily on that country.
Mr.. Hoshi says that Japan has no
longin9s towards the Philippines. On
the contrary, no says the acquisition of
the big leland of Formosa. which China
ceded to Japan after the late war, has
given Japan quite enough colonial ter
ritory to develop. Already it has cost
the Japanese government enormous
sums to lay cables connecting Japan
with Formosa, 10 build roads and 10
provide adequate military and naval
defenues for this new colony. The re-
turns from the islands. Mr.. IIoshi says,
have gone to private merchants and
owners of land, and none OF this return
has flowed into the government treBs-
ury. As result, the government ia
spending far more than it has received
or ever will receive from Formosa.
This fact, he added, shows that there
ia no ground for the reports that
japan may be- anxious to acquire the
Philippines in CAGE the United States
Hees lit to part with them.
