MIKADO WILL MISS
TAFT'S EXPECTED VISIT
War Secretary Likely to Call on Jap.
anese Bureau Officials But
Not on Emperor.

The question of whether or not Secre-
tary Taft shall be the guest Of the
Mikado of Japan. in the course of his
trip to the Philippines this summer, is
likely to be settled satisfactorily, from
diplomatic standpoint, in the mega
: tive.
q Heretofore when the Secretary has
been travelling to and from Manila by
way of the Pacific, he has had time at
Yokohama to run up to the capital and
pay his respects to the chiefs of the de-
partments corresponding to our Secre-
taries of State and War. He could do
that again without encountering any
charge that America was not preserving
strict neutrality between Russia and
japan.
An unofficial intimation is likely to be
dropped that it will be impossible for
the Secretary to stop long enough In
Tokyo to show sufficient Difference &c
the Emperor Mutsuhite and that for
that reason he cannot accept. With
such an intimation no official invitation
would be extended and the affair would
be settled to the satisfaction of the
diplomatists.
