New York, June 6.-Count Okuma
former leader of the Progressives, the
opposition party in Japan, in response
to request by the New York World
cabled that paper the following opinion
regarding the incidents in anFrancisco
in which Japanese were involved:
Il deeply regret that anti-Japanese
outrages are being repeated in San
Francisco. We. as a nation, were not
satisfied with settlement of the last

just discrimination against, and the act

LOOKS TO ROOSEVELT.
Japan Has Not Yet Reached the Point
of Demanding Reparation.

Toxic, June 6.-The leading papers
here, whose opinions are worth quot
ing, are silent on the question of de-
manding indemnity for the so
called bombarding of Japanese estab-
lishments in San Francisco. Repara-
ton for the damage inflicted and the
punishment of the culprits is expected,
and it is believed that the governm ent
is taking proper steps in the matter.
Though the public here is irritated
at the tardfneSS displayed in effectinS
a solution of the difficulty, opinion has
not yet reached the stage of advocat-
ing an appeal to a hostile demonstra-
ton in any form. 1t is true, however
that popular indignation has reached
a degree never before witnessed in the
history of Japan's relations with the
United States. 1t is thought by influ
entail Japanese that the quicker the
facts regarding the negotiations now
in progress here and in Washington
are published the better it will be for
all concerned, as a stage has now
been reached when it may prove dan
gerous to keep the people in suspense
or ignorant of what is being done
An experienced diplomat, who was
a protege of Marquis Ito, and is a
prominent figure in national affairs
said today to representative of the
Associated Press:
America is the last country with
which / expected complications with
Japan. Traditional friendship of the
two nations uniformly maintained by
the government at Washington, makes
me almost hesitate to believe that an
anti-Japanese sentiment exists in IN
Gle Sans territory though the unfort
unate occurrences stand unassailable.
But before forming final judgment in
the present instance it is absolutely
necessary to bear IN mind that in
America, the autonomy of the various
states is jealously guarded and the
slightest infringement or interference
by the national authorities is deeply

resented. Consequently the federal
government is in most delicate posi-
ton.
Fortunately the present chief execu-
tive of the United States is a wonder
ful personality. Judging by his speech
es and writings he might be called the
incarnation of the principles of
Bushido. There is no doubt that he is
resolute enough to cut this Gordian
knot
The Japanese cause, in the present
instance is right, throughout, beyond
the shadow of doubt. This Is a fact
impossible to escape the enlightened
Judgment of a parsonage like President
Roosevelt. I confidently expect that
justice will be meted out and the soon
er his action in this matter is made
known the better.''
