OYSTER BAY, \. Y, July 13.-vis count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador and Admiral Baron Yamamoto paid an official visit to President Roosevelt al his home here
 Beaming with delight, President Roosevelt stood on the veranda at his Sagamore Hill summer residence and welcomed Admiral Baron Yamamoto, Ambassador Aoki and Naval Instructor Motoki Kondo. When the party reach ed Oyster Bay they were met by As. sistant Secretary Latta and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who drove to the sta. tion with his cousin The visitors climbed into the two big department automobiles and were driven directly to Sagamore Hill.
 Motoki Kondo carried small square package wrapped ill newspaper. Long before the party arrived the pres ident was visible, dressed in white summer suit, standing on the veranda. As soon as Baron Yamamoto alighted the president rushed forward and grasped him eagerly by the hand, even before Ambassador Aoki had had a chance to introduce him.
 I'm delighted to meet you" he ex- claimed in English The baron smiled broadly, but winced slightly at the viz. orous handshake of the president
 As soon as Mir. Kondo had been in- troduced he gave Mr. Roosevelt the mysterious package, but the president did not open it just then. The party were then escorted into the house and all remained for luncheon. Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon and MT. and Mrs. F. D. Morgan of Wheat ley Hills, personal friends of the presi- dent, were also guests at the luncheon.
 At the luncheon Ambassador Aoh toasted President Roosevelt. and the compliment was returned by toasting the mikado. Admiral Yamamoto was presented to Mrs. Roosevelt and later to Teddy junior, who had just arrived
 The mystery of the package was rc- vealed when Admiral Yamamoto pre- scented the president with costly vase of jade sent by the emperor of Japan.
 Admiral Yamamoto in conversation repeated the statements that any feel ing that there might be in Japan be- cause of occurrences on the Pacific coast was directed solely against the people of that section of the country and that there was no possible chance of this feeling reaching point where trouble between the two governments would be possible.
 Neither Baron Yamamoto nor Ambas- sador Aoki would say anything about their visit to the president. When the ambassador was asked what the pack age which Mir. Kondo carried contained he smiled and said, Maybe 1t is some lunch"
 Were you afraid the president would not give you any?" he was asked, but he turned away with laugh.
 An official statement announcing a thoroughly good understanding and fundamental friendliness'' between the United States and Japan was issued by President Roosevelt after the de- parture of Admiral Yamamoto and Am bassador Aoki from Sagamore Hill.
 Secretary Loeb gave out the follow ing:
 'The president had a long interview with Admiral Baron Yamamoto. and 1t was most satisfactory in every way. It simply confirmed what had already been made clear by Ambassador Aoki. the thoroughly good understanding be- tween the two governments and ths fundamental friendliness between the two nations"
