IA JAPANESE
 STATEMENT
Of the Outrages by the
 HOOdIum Element. /
These Attacks are Apart from the Industrial Un- rest at San Francisco.

San Francisco, May 29.-The Japan csc association, composed of the lead ing Japanese residents today made the following statement of the Japanese view of the recent assaults committed against the Japanese in this city: "In the first place. the Japanese resi- dents recognize the fact that the pres ent conditions make il very difficult for the authorities to extend fill pro- fiction. They understand that the strike on the street railroads pnts a heavy tax upon the police force and that it is impossible to guard all places at all times against the lawless clements in the community.
 They are fully convinced however. that much of the violence to which they have been subjected is due to racial prejudice and that attempts which are being made in certain quar- ters. to have it appear that the trouble is confined to quarrels between labor ing men. incidentally involving Jap anese. are without foundatios.
 Tn support of this view they direct attention to the fact that the Japanese restaurants have been systematically annoyed and simultaneously attacked. Hardly day goes by in the territory south of Market street. that some threatening demonstration Is not made by roughs against a Japanese place of business"
 After giving a number of specific instances of attacks on the Japanese restaurants. between May 20 and 25, the statement continues:
 "The uniformity of these expressions of hostility to Japanese enterprises precludes the idea that they are the accidental results of chance rows be- tween white laboring men. They are entirely distinct In character from acts of violence growing out of the street car strikes. where capital and labor are at war. They are clearly an ex- pression of race prejudice. to which people of no other nationality are at present subjected.
 "The Japanese residents of San Francisco further insist that no provo cation has been given. or is being giv- cn for these outrages. They are peace fully engaged in lawful ioeeupasionsssa right to which is guaranteed them by treaty stipulations. They believe they are fully justified in protesting against the acts which place their property in jeopardy and lives in peril. and they denounce as unjust such public criti- cism as attributes their complaints to mere caprice.
 "They simply desire that the true facts of these assaults be placed before the American people, believing implic- itly in the fairness and sense of ius- tice of that tribunal. In the meantime they sincerely regret the necessity of calling for special police protection. but they believe 1t wiser to make that demand now, rather than to wait un- til some overt act of the mob elements shall precipitate more serious trouble and possibly bloodshed."

BRITISH JOURNALISTS IN WlLHElM'S DOMAINS
They Are Made Acquainted at Ban quet With The True Arms of Ger many.

Berlin. May 29.-The visiting Brit. ish Journalists arrived today from Bremen and were received at the rail- road station by Prince Hatsfeldt Won Trachenberg. who in the name of the emepror invited the visitors to review the garrison Of Potsdam on June :, and tO take luncheon at his Majesty's new palace. They were entertained at q public banquet in the evening.
 Herr Muhiberg.. under secretary Of state. representing the government. said: If look over a foreign newspa- per. I come across nearly every day some version of q curious tale that seems to find many able and ZealOus propagators in the foreign papers. It Is tale that Germany is threatening or imperilling the peace of the world. Germany has a great and gallant army of which we are justly proud, but We can absolutely prove that this army. since the establishment of the empire has not been misused. Our navy is intended only for the protection of our shores and our sea trade. We strive for nothing else, but for this We strive with all the rights of every progressive honor loving nation.''
 Continuing. Herr Muhlberg alluded to. the historic sufferings of Germany when her territory was the battle ground of Europe, and added: "Nev- ertheless. skeptical persons might re- ply that these powerful instruments of war are very dangerous, because some day they might induce Germany to make room for her rapidly increasing population. It is certainly true that our population is increasing at the rate of eight to nine hundred thousand a year. Talk with our gentry in the east. They will complain of lack of labOrers in the fields. Go to our mines and factories if you want to hear that there are not enough men to work them. This will prove that we do not need territorial expansion.
 ''I do not wish to try to make our selves out better than we are. We are not political ascetists. We need and strive for honest competition in the worlds markets everywhere. But whether in Asia or Africa. We have only one aim-the open door. I be- lieve it is just on this line of policy that We can meet

stance and its first being seen on Palm Sun
day (Pascha Florida) he gave the country the
name of Florida.
But, beyond the discovery of this pleasant
country, the Spanish adventurer was unre-
warded for his tolls. No stream OF fountain

Another chronicler says:

they drank of it in vain"
Ponce de Leon did not give up the search,
however. Several years afterward he led a
second expedition to the Fiowery Land. His
attempt to gain footing on the soil was re-
sisted by the Indians with implacable hostil-
ity, and the Spanish cavalier received in the
contest a mortal wound from an arrow He

on the march he was constantly being pre-
sented by the Indians with gifts of pearls and
ornaments of gold; thus he ever seemed to be
nearing place of riches.
But the opulent capital never came to view.
and, after three years of fruitless wander
ings. the Spanish explorer, worn. out by toll,
chagrin and sickness, died on the banks of
the mississippi. which he had discovered, and
his body was buried in its waters.
Coronado, another Spaniard, explored the
western shores of Mexico about the same
time, ascending the River Gila, visited the
magnificent .gorges of the upper Colorado,
of the Arkansas. He was seeking the Seven
Cities of Cibola." which the excited fancy OF
his countrymen had pictured as full of
sumptuous palaces, blazing with gold and
jewels.
He found only some village Indians, who
offered him share of their corn, and were
amazed at being violently attacked and plum
dered by the disappointed Spaniards.
A still more checkered career and chimeri-
cal fortune fell to the lot of Sir Walter Ra-
leigh. He was the most brilliant Englishman
of his day, of profound abilities and varied
accomplishments. After being the favorite of
Queen Elizabeth, he became the victim of
her successor. James 1, and for fifteen years
langushed a prisoner in the Tower.
Raleigh had expended his fortune in the
attempt. to colonize America, and he had
undertaken one voyage to Guiana, where he
was told by the natives of a great and wealthy
country in the interior. The fable of the ex-
istence of Ell Dorado was at that time fully
believed and even Raleigh's acute intelli-
gence was deceived.
While in prison his thoughts often turned
to Guiana. An offer made by him to send
one of his old cantains to the gold mine
which he believed to exist near the Orinoco
was reiected but in 1916 he was himself re-
leased on the understanding that he was to
go in person to Guiana and visit the gold
mine.
He set out in the spring of 1917, with a
feet of fourteen ships. His voyage was sin
gularly unfortunate from the start. Sickness

reduced his crew, and two or three of his
ships were wrecked by hurricanes. :,
When he reached the Orinoco, they found
a Spanish village in the way, which they con-
quered and burned The. mine, if it really
existed, they never reached, and Raleigh was
forced to return to England without accom-
phshing anything. He was rearrested, lodged
The object of Columbus, when he set out
on his voyage Of discovery, was to find
route to India by the west instead of the
east, He did not even know that he had
found a new continent, dying, as is well
known, in the conviction that it was the east
ern shore of Asia which he had reached.
For one hundred and fifty years the same
object directed the nautical enterprises of the
time, and the discovery of strait into the
Indian Ocean was the design of many an ex-
petition to the Western World.
In 1916 Sir Humphrey Gilbert, half
brother of Raleigh, wrote a book to show
that America was vast island. which could
the south. The same year, Martin Frobisher,
a sea captain, who had read the book, set
out on his vessel to prove this.
His name remains in Frobisher's Strait,
through which he passed. John Davis, an
other explorer, sailed up through the strait
which bears his name, and was. sure, like
many others, that if it were not for ice and
storms, he could make his way to India. But
the ice was always there, and the perils of
the voyage never grew less.
A few years later, Captain Henry Hudson,
after discovering the river that bears his
name, penetrated at last into the great bay
which is named after him.
He imagined that at last he had found the
long-sought-for route, but before he satisfied
himself his men mutinied, he was set adrift
in an open boat. and this was the last the
world ever knew Of Henry Hudson.
The northwest passage remained undiscov-
cred until 1858, when Captain Mcclure con-
