IN SYMPATHY WITH
AMERICAN SAILORS
New zea|anders Threaten Patrol
Rounding Up Jackies.

Auckland, N. e., Aug. The
American battleships under the COM
mand of Rear Admiral Sperry have
left here for Sydney, N. S. w., where
they are due Aug. 20 and will remain
for week.
The American sailors have won the
unstinted praise of the people of Auck-
land for their behavior during the
stay Of the fleet. Thousands of men
have been ashore day after day and
there has been no disturbance of the
peace. There was, however, an incl
dent which showed the sympathies of
the Auckland people with the sailor
men on shore.
The patrol from the fleet was en-
gagged in rounding stragglers and get
ting them back on board and a crowd
was watching the operations. At one
stage of the proceedings the people
came to the conclusion that the patrol
was handling some drunken sailors
too roughly. They threatened the pa
troll, who were obliged to draw revol-
vers. At. this moment the local po-
lice arrived, drove the crowd back and
escorted the patrol and their prisoners
to the wharf. -... .---

An amicable adjustment is in sight
for troubles that have ensued as a
result of the cancellation some weeks
ago by President Davila of the exc

at Ceiba, Spanish Honduras. It will
probably be only a short while before
Consul Drew Linard, Vice Consul Rey

resented the United States govern

their privileges and thus end an Incl
dent that for time promised to bring
on international complications.
President Davila has discharged the
commandant who was at Ceiba at the
time the rebels mad Q their unsuccess-
full attack on the port and substituted
another man in his place. The COM
mandant who lost his position was
the one who Informed the president
that the American consuls had asked
that the town be surrendered, where
as the facts show that all they did was
to transmit to the commandant a let

tanned such a demand.

straighten out the tangle and the
American minister to Salvador is now
en- route to Ceiba to assist in the
work. He is expected to arrive in

Japanese newspapers represent that
the recent utterance of Count .Okuma,
attributing the naval expansion policy

rise of Japan to the importance of a
world power, Is arousing intense in
dfgnation and has caused a complete

Japanese. ~. 's*s.s1 ss..- =. s.

Americans residing in Toxic, Yoko-

are extremely indignant. They be-
lieye that the special dispatches ex-
eaggerate the tone of the. New York
newspapers and it is felt that it is
particularly unfortunate that at this

I tions of the two nations In view OF
the elaborate arrangements on foot
among the Japanese to welcome the
American fleet and the growing cor
diality exhibited on all sides toward
