HE admitted, however, that Japan
ese newspaper men had copied an ar
ticle from a New York newspaper In
which he was alleged to have spoken
pretty freely in reference to Japanese
and the conduct of the customs house
at Dalny in a confidential report to the
state department, but whatever was
embodied in that report, says Cloud,
was fact AS to how his report ever
got into the New York paper, Cloud
claims to be in the greatest ignorance.
But the fact remains that Consul
cloud is on the way to see Secretary
Knox, and he is extremely reticent in
talking about affairs in the far east.
He admitted that he had heard of the
recall of Minister Crane, and he said
that was enough Of lesson in keeping
still. He refused to discuss the Japan.

Upon leaving Mukden Consul Cloud
was directed to turn over his office to

Arrives in Frisco.

The San Francisco dispatch says:
San Francisco, Dec. 26.-Under or
ders to report to the state department
at Washington, Frederick d. Cloud,
who has been United StaIes consul
at Mukden, Manchuria, arrived today
in the steamer Korea, accompanied by
Mrs. Cloud and their infant. They may
stop at Des Moines. Iowa, on the way
east
"Cloud has been representative of
this country at Mukden for only six
teen months, having succeeded Wilbur
D. Straight last year. Previous to that
time Cloud was for nearly seven years
a student of Interpretation at the lega-
tion at Pekin.
"There is suspicion that the recall
of Cloud by Secretary of State Knox
has something to do with the consuls
alleged criticism of Japanese in Man
churia. Cloud not only denies this but
stated today that he had received or
ders to go to Washington before he
had ever criticised the Japanese in any
