JAPAN is GOING TO EXPLAIN.
Claims Her Action Was Taken in Self
Defense.


The Japanese legation has informed
the Associated Press that the Toxic
government will send circular note
to the powers on the subject of the
seizure of the Russian destroyer Ryes-
hitelni.
The cutting out of the Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer by the Japanese
torpedo boat destroyers at Chefoo has
eclipsed for the moment in the public
mind the knight Commander incident.
Both, however, are receiving the earn
est attention of the cabinet.
All the information received at the
Japanese legation, which is not official,
however, tends to establish the fact
that the Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyers entered Chefoo for the pur-
pose of ascertaining if the Ryeshitelni
was really dismantled, and unable to
take part in future operations. that
the Japanese boats crew was attacked
by the Russians and the Japanese re
piled in self defense, and that seeing
the Ryeshitelni was able to continue
military operations, she was towed out
to sea.
/ This version does not agree with the
original reports received by the Brit
ish foreign Office, in whcih the Jap
anese appear to have been the ag
gressors.
