ASPERSIONS UNFOUNDED.
Statement Concerning Funds of Japa-
nese Imperial Relief Society.

TOKYO, October 6.-The former president
of the Yamamoto Bank today issued a
statement concerning the funds of the Inn
perial Relief Society In refutation of intima-
tions of fraud. The aspersions were direct
ed against Counts Matsukata and Inouye,
the promoters of the society. The state
ment shows that s4O0, 600 was collected and
safely deposited in banks, and that the
banks were required to furnish security
covering the funds. The delay in distribu-
ting the funds is due to the fact that the
government and local societies are success
fully caring for the destitute. The relief
funds are earning interest and pay the
management's expenses. 's.-

That the Atlantic training squadron spend

the Florida port well adapted to the needs
of a training squadron, as the facilities
for boating and other exercises are good
and the recommendation is regarded with
favor by the officials.
Should this plan be followed the train
ing squadron would not go to the Carib-
