DREW WRONG CONCLUSION.
Gov. Taft Could Not Commit the Gov
ernment as to Japan,

A cablegram has been received by Secre-
tary Root from Gov. Taft at Tokyo, now
on his way home to become Secretary Of
War. giving a brief account of his recep-
tion by the Japanese emperor and officials,
indicating that he was received with the
greatest cordiality and consideration.
Referring to publications in one of the
London papers to the effect that Gov. Taft
promised that the attitude of the United
States should be friendly to Japan in the
event of hostilities with Russia, and that
Japanese vessels should be accorded special
privileges in Philippine ports. 1t is said at
the State and War departments that while
1t Is possible that such conclusion may
have been drawn by Japanese officials from
the affable manner of Gov. Taft. 1t IL quite
certain that he did not in any way commit
the United States government to any poll
Icy save that Of strict neutrality. which
indeed not being an efficer Of the State
Department nor the President. he could not
DO in any event.
