JAPANESE LEAVES
NAVAL ACADEMY.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
ANNAPOLIS, Oct 2s.-Asahi Kita-
gaki, midshipman of the third class at
the Naval Academy, has submitted his
resignation at the request of the Jap
anese Embassy at washington. There
is little question but that his resignation
was made on account of the changed
feeling of Japan toward this nation,
due largely to the action of the San
Francisco School Board in assigning
japanese to a school for Mongolians
and opposition to the Japanese in the
West generally.
Particularly significant is the fact
that Kitagaki has just returned from
an extended leave spent in his own
home. He. certainly would have been
directed to resign at that time had such
a feeling then existed. AS a matter of
fact he returned to the academy with
the expectation of completing his
course.
Pending the departments action on
his case he has been granted an ex
tended leave of absence. Kitagaki is a
son of Baron Kitagaki of the Imperial
Privy Council. He entered the Amer
lean Naval Academy in September, 1904.
The resignation of young Kitigaki
removes the only remaining Japanese
midshipman at the academy, the other
one, K Matsukata, having died last
August of typhoid fever.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Inquiry at
the Navy Department brought out the
statement that the sole reason for the
resignation of the Japanese midship-
man, Kitigaki, from the naval acade-
my at Annapolis was a deficiency in
studies This fact was first reported
by the superintendent of the academy
to the department, which in turn COM
municated to the Japanese Embassy,
with the result that the young man
was requested to tender his resigna-
ton. AS an act was passed at the
last session of Congress prohibiting the
further entry of foreigners at the
academy. there can of course be no
other japanese cadet admitted in his
place.
TOXIC. Oct 23-Although the papers
comment irascibly on the alleged un-
fair treatment of Japanese school chill
dren in San Francisco, the resentment
is not general among the people, who
are confident that President Roosevelt
viii do everything possible to avoid
endangering the friendship of the
United States and Japan. demon
stration of anti-American feeling in
Japan is not likely unless the alleged
prosecutions are aggravated.
