Monday (By Cable)

Toxic, Monday (By Cable). -
There were no developments through
out Sunday or Monday in connection
with the steamer Tatsu seizure by
the Chinese. Meantime Japan is un-
doubtedly preparing for eventualities.
The entire decision in the case rests
with Premier Saionji and Foreign
Minister Hayashi. There has been
no indication of the period of time
that Japan will await China's reply.
The Associated Office that it is pre-
sumed that Yuan Shi Press is in
formed at the Japanese Foreign Kai
will require three, or perhaps four,
days of consultation with the viceroy
of Canton in the consideration of
the entire affair.
What action Japan will take in the
event that she decides Immediately
to take independent action" is a
matter OF speculation in diplomatic
circles in Toxic. 1t is believed that
it is entirely improbable that Japan
will make any EFFORT to retake the
Tatsu or send warships to- Canton
waters. While war is regarded as
improbable, the naval base at Sasebo
is extremely active.
1t is announced that part of the
first squadron will leave port on
March Ia. Coaling sis proceeding
rapidly and a number of topedo-bOa
destroyers have already coaled
Enormous supplies in storage at Sase-
DO are huuying aboard the vessels.
At the ~offlce of the admiralty it
is pointed out that the FIRST squad
ron expected TO start on training
manehvers this week, fact announc-
ed tive months ago; therefore the ac-
tivity at Sasebo should not necessar-
lily be considered in connection with
the Tatsu incident.
