Norfolk. Va, May 5.-When Gen. Kuro-
ki and his staff of naval and military
aids come 10 visit the jamestown EX-
position they will doubtless be impressed.
Since no Japanese over allows any one
to know what his impressions really are,
the exposition officials and the officers at
Fort Monroe Will have to accept the dell
cately turned compliments. that will be
inevitable. as genuine. Plans that are be-
ginning TO take shape for the reception Of
the distinguished fighter from the Orient
seem to guarantee that the general Will
keep to himself a mental reservation that
is at least favorable.
BY virtue Of his rank and occupation
Gen. Kuroh will be 10 a great extent
monopolized by the army during his stay
here. The Chamberlin Hotel. at Old
Point Comfort, viii probably be made his
official lodging place, and the officers
quarters in the fort viii see much Of him.

ings the nature Of the reviews and the
semi-military functions that are to be
given Ia Kurokis honor.
Japanese Cruisers in Line.
When the general arrives the japanese
cruisers Chitose and Tsukuba will be at
anchor in the double line of ships out in
Hampton Roads. They are expected
one day this week. The presence Of the
officers and men of the two ships viii
alone save the japanese delegation from
overwhelming loneliness, for there are
few Of the brown men south Of Wash
ington. and a japanese in Norfolk is al
most as much Of a novelty as China
man. In order that the leader OF the
triumphant third japanese army in the
late war with Russia may not feel his
isolation among the contingent Of Amer
lean army and naval officers, most OF the
functions that are being planned FOR his
entertainment include the presence Of the
feet officers from the japanese cruisers.

This Will be. of course. on the parade

there are rules which are not transcribed
even for leaders of triumphant japanese
armies
Gen. Grant Expected.
Gen. Grant is expected TO come down
from Washington TO represent the army
of the United States in the reception OF
the Japanese soldiers. Ills plans are not
known, but it is said over at Fort Monroe
that very probably there viii be another
