VISIT OF FLEET
 TO EASTERN PORTS

Pekin, May Tt was understood here today by Chinese officials that the purpose of the Washin gton authorities in dividing the American battleship
 fleet into two squardons is to enable the vessels to visit Japan and China sim
 ultaneously and the feeling of disap- pointment has, in a measure, been les
 sened
 The impression prevails among the
 Chinese however, that what they call
 the definite purpose of the fleets pres
 ence in Asiatic waters have been foiled by an attempt to neutralize the polit- ical interpretations that have been given to the fleets movements in the far east, particularly at this time, when China's difficulties are increasing. Japan is facing a serious situation as a result of the boycott arising from the Tatsu Maru incident. Admiral Ijuin of the Japanese navy whose | cruiser is now anchored off Taku, was received in audience by the Emperor and Empress dowager today Coincident with this occurrence, Japan is seeking the support of Great Britain to put a stop to the boycott by joint representa- | tions co China.
