JAP SKETCHED FORT PLANS
Mikado's Subject Arrested in Philip

omeiaI Report Not Yet Made. but ID
Is UnderstOod He Was Acting
without Government sanction.

Although no Official report has yet been
received ia Washington relative 20 the
arrest OF a japanese officer for sketchiag
fortidcations in Manila. officials OF the
War and State Departments were not
greatly surprised when informed Of the
fact II has been suspected for some time
that the military information division of
the general staff Of the japanese army
has had scouts at work secretly, not only
"a the Philippines. but in continental
United States as we'll Not long ago the
charge was made in a responsible quar-
ter that many OF the japanese stewards
and servants employed on American men
o'-war were officers Of the AGikado's navy
in disguise. The Navy Department has
not been able TO prove this in. any par
ticuIa- instance, but il is known that
instructions were sent TO commanders Of
cur naval vessels TO be on their guard and
10 report any evidence they might be
able TO procure that their servants were in
the employ Of the Japanese government.
Much OF the information upon which
the japanese prepared for their war with
Russia was procured in this manner. and
there is little question but what the recent
ani-AmeTican agitation in japan has
caused the Tokyo government 10 take
steps Of this character with reference to
the United States, especially in the Phil
ippines
Should the matter be brought officially
to the attention Of the japanese foreign
office, the action OF the young officer in
Maniia viii undoubtedly be disavowed.

not in the Interests OF, or by the orders
of his Covernment
