Dewey ON JAP WAR
MANILA BAY HERO GETST TALK
ATIVE ON SUBJECT.
The Great Admiral Tells How Long
II Would Take Uncle Sam to Put the
Japanese Navy to the Bad-He Does
Not Look for Any Trouble, but
Would Not Fear Japan.

Washington, Feb admiral Dew
ey is reported to be very indignant at
what he terms the id cowardice" of
certain high official who had acted
as if he feared Japan" The fighting
hero of Manila bay says that we could
get our navy into eastern waters in
six weeks and that within two weeks
after it's arrival there it could sweep
Japans navy from the sea. He does
not believe there will be trouble, but
if there is, he would not consider Jap
an foe to fear. He says that Japan
might seize the Philippines and pos
sibly Hawaii, but that our navy is am
ply able to cope with Japan and that
we would quickly retake the island
when we got ready.
On the supposition that there was
really some danger of war, Senator
Perkins recent lecture on the Japan
csc question is being severely criti-
cized for the alleged warlike talk in
it. The Washington Herald said this
morning:
AT the very moment when the ad
ministration and the California dele
cation were in agreement, when self
restraint and preservation of good hui
NOR were necessary to insure a con-
tinuance of harmonious relations, Sen
atOr Perkins, leader of the delegation,
delivered a semipublic address in
which he predicted that war was inc
vitable between Japan and the United
States. Friends of Senator Perkins
are chagrined and Inundated over this
unexpected Outburst, and cannot un-
derstand the motive that actuated it.
1t was said yesterday that his predic-
ton would have come with bad grace
at this time from any member of the
California delegation, but the fact that
Senator Perkins is part OF the treaty
making power of the government &C
centuates the Offense"
War Talk Surprises Japan.
TOkio.-The war talk OF the Ameri-
can press has been received here with
great surprise and sincere regret. The
correspondent of the Associated Press
has talked with several leading men
They concur in the opinion that the
United States is the last country with
which Japan would go to war. Besides
both nations are unaggressive in their
trade rivalry, which seldom leads to
war unless territorial acquisition is in
tended by either rival. In some quar-
ters the belief is expressed that the
misrepresentation that Japan is suf-
tering on account of the San Francisco
school question is the outcome of i'm
munity shown disaffected war cores
pondents in the late war.
An Exclusion Resolution.

of the japanese and Korean Exclusion
league Sunday resolutions adopted by
