IN SYMPATHY WITH
AMERICAN SAILORS
New zeaIanders Threaten Patrol
Rounding Up Jackies.

Auckland, N. H., Aug. 15.-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 a 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 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.

HEARD IN JAP CAPITAL.
Americans Intensely Indignant at
Count Okuma's Remarks.

Toxic, Aug. 15.-Special dispatches
Japanese newspapers represent that
the recent utterance of Count Okuma,
attributing the naval expansion policy
of the United States to the sudden
rise of Japan to the importance of a
world power, is arousing intense in
dignation and has caused a complete
recrudescence of anti-Japanese senti-
ment throughout America
The New York newspapers are
quoted as editorially urging an Amer
ican-C Chinese alliance for the purpose
of offsetting the belligerency of the
Japanese.
One newspaper is quoted as giving
the views of WI Ting Fang, the min
lister to the United States, on the sub
1ect of an alliance, in which he threat
ems Japan with IAN early evidence OF
the real power of the American navy
Americans residing in Toxic, Yoko-
hama and elsewhere throughout Japan
are extremely indignant. They be-
lieve that the special dispatches ex-
aggerate the tone of the New York
newspapers and it is felt that 1t is
particularly unfortunate that at this
time anything should be permitted to
retard the increasingly friendly rela-
tions of the two nations in view OF
the elaborate arrangements on foot
among the japanese to welcome the
American feet and the growing cor
diality exhibited on all sides toward
Americans.
