JAPS PRAISED BY
CREW OF TACOMA
Tell Graphic Story of Their
Adventures at Sea
EXPECTED TO MEET DEATH
Provisions Had Run Low and Ice
Threatened to Swamp Ship When
Japanese War Vessel
Picked Them Up.

YokN>ama, March 29-The crew of the
steamer Tacoma, owned by the North
western Steamship company of Seattle.
which was captured by the japanese
March IA, north of the island of Hok-
kaido, arrived here today and were re-
leased They tell a graphic story of their
adventure in the ice foes from March 4
to IA.
The Tacoma left Seattle at midnight
January 5, and January IA reached Dutch
Harbor, where she coaled. On February
the vessel became helplessly ice-bound
before Hokkaido island and was seriously
threatened by the heavy Ice packs which
crashed and bounded against her sides
with reports that could be heard for miles.
The decks and rigging were covered with
hundreds of tons of ice. The crew ex-
pected that the vessel would be crushed
and made sleds in preparation to seek
land.
The supplies of coal ran short and the
fires were put out, which resulted in
many of the crew nearly freezing to death.
Provisions also ran short and the cargo
of beef had to be preached.
On March II the Tacoma drifted in the
midst of an ice foe only a half mile from
the dangerous rocks near which the Brit
ish steamer stranded a few days later.
On March IA the Tacoma encountered
a Japanese war5hip, by which she was
rescued The courtesy of the Japanese is
proved by the officers and crew of the
Tacoma. who say they expect to return
to the United States on the steamer Min
nesota.
The Tacoma was loaded with supplies,
including salt beef, and was reported to
be bound for VIadivostok, though clearing
for Shanghai. The owners of the vessel
have asked the State Department to in
tervene and prevent, if possible, con-
domination by the prize court on the
ground that the Tacoma was not carry
ing contraband goods and that she was
bound direct for Shanghai and that her
cargo was consigned to a Shanghai mer-
chant. The vessel is now at Nagasaki
awaiting trial.

POLAND DISAPPOINTED
BY CARS RESCRIPT
Document Has Served Rather to EN-
hitter People Than to Exert
Pacificatory Effect.

Warsaw, March 9.-z(Midnight. There
is general disappointment here at the
tone of the Emperors rescript. The feel
ings of the Poles have been hurt by the
imperial reference to Poland as the
Vistula country" instead of the kingdom
of Poland, one of the Emperor's titles
being King of Poland.
1t is also pointed out that the rescript
leaves reforms to the bureaucracy which
is hostile to reform measures. Every
thing, it is now thought, depends upon
the governments general Interpretation
of his instructions to restore order in
Poland, and the methods he will adopt;
but 1t is quite evident the rescript has
served to embitter the people rather than
to exert a paeificatory effect.
