WASHINGTON. Sept. 2O.-The FIRST bat
tic in the war between the United States
and Japan was what hundreds Of Yankee
tars thought they were about to fsht out
in Chinese waters recently, according to
stories that have come to Washington
While the American squadron including
the Colorado, West Virginia, and Penn
sylvana was cruising on Che Foo, the
Japanese fleet Of four battleships appeared
in the onfing. When on one of the Ameri-
can vessels an officer was overheard in
structing another TO keep sharp watch
on the japanese, he desired only to pre-
vent a collision, but the blue jackets re-
called that at the outbreak of the wat
with Russia, Japan did not wait for a
pasteboard declaration Of her intentions
and now the first announcement of war
would be with 12-inch guns. Suddenly the
American Admiral ordered his ships clear
ed for action and, jumping to his post
every American tar was ready and will
ing, if need be- TO give his life TO teach
the japanese a lesson-but It developed
that the Admiral had ordered the ships
cleared merely for target practice.
