Said His Utterances at Demo-
cratic National Convention
Are Responsible.
AMERICANS ARE INDIGNANT.
DEEM 1T UNFORTUNATE THAT
SUCH A STATEMENT SHOULD
BE MADE WHEN JAPAN is PRE-
PAIRING TO WELCOME FLEET.

Tokyo, Aug 15.-Special dispatches
from New York and London printed
in Japanese newspapers represent
that the recent utterance of Count
Okuma attribute the naval expansion
policy of the United States to the sud
den rise of Japan TO a world power.
1t is claimed that this utterance has
caused a complete recrudescence of
nti-Japanese sentiment throughout
America.
The New York newspapers are quot
ed as editorially urging an American
Chinese alliance for the purpose of off
setting the belligerency of Japan.
One newspaper is quoted as giving
the views of WI Ting Fang, Chinese
minister to the United States, on the
subject of an alliance, in which he
threatens Japan with early evidence
of the real power of the American
navy.
Americans residing in Japan are ex-
tremely indignant, and it is felt that
it is particularly unfortunate that at
this time anything should be permitted
to retard the increasingly friendly
relations now that Japan is preparing
to welcome the American fleet.
Count Okuma is regarded here as a
doctrinaire politician, who is now
completely without political influence
except in academic circles. His state
ment concerning the American navy
and President Roosevelts advocacy of
its expansion was undoubtedly
brought out by reports of Congress
man Hobson's speech in the democrat
national convention, when he quoted
President Roosevelt as predicting an
early war with Japan.
