Congratulations From Japan.


 Tokio. Feb. 24.-special dispatches describing at length the reception of the American battleship fleet on its arrival at Hampton Roads after its world girdling voyage. have been printed in the Japanese newspapers ac- companied by congratulatory editori- als.
 The Jiji. which represents the high est thought in Japan says:
 "The voyage of the American fleet has created new epoch in the naval history of the world. The warships were greeted in every port and every country as messengers of peace. Their trip Is especially notable as marking the creation of new epoch in the re- lations between Japan and the United States"
 In recalling the visit of the fleet to Japan. The Jiji says:
 we extend congratulations to the officers and men of the American fleet who recently were the guests of Ja- pan. They have learned something of the real Japan and we trust will be the medium of spreading a better feeling between the two nations and serve to prevent a renewal of the anti-Japhness talk heard recently in the United States.
 ''The cable dispatches telling of the safe arrival of the fleet at Hampton Roads bring recollections of many pleasant days enjoyed during its stay here. All Japan joins in sending con- gratulations."
 Similar sentiments are expressed by l all the other newspapers.

 ment is Expected from
 President Roosevelt.

Fort Monroe, Va. Feb 24-After be. ing flooded in brilliant sunlight throughout the morning, the Ameri- can battle fleet In Hampton Roads, was swept by another severe storm this af- ternoon.
 The big battleships and cruisers did not suffer in the least from the hlow, but the steam launches running to the shorei made decidedly heavy weather of 1t.
 Two sailors on ships launches were tossed overheard during the afternoon, but both were rescued without great difficulty. A launch belonging to the battleship Rhode Island was partly wrecked in trying to come alongside the ships gangway. A luncheon party of ladies was aboard and when the wave-tossed boat crashed into a side boom of the armorclad, several of those on board fainted.
 The water was the toughest known in recent years in Hampton Roads. Many tea and dinner parties planned on board the various ships had to be postponed.

He goes to consult with the Navy Department authorities about further plans for the fleet, and nothing in the way of inspection or detaching any of the ships will be done until he returns.
 The commanding and other officers of the fleet were gratified by the pub lished reports from Washington today that Admiral Sperry will continue as commander in chief of the fleet until his retirement in September
 A report has spread through out the fleet that President Roosevelt intends himself to name the next commander in-chief before he retires from office on March {.
 An official announcement is expected while Admiral Sperry< is in Washing ton.
