Japanese movement at San Francisco.

the speech of Leslie NJ. Shaw, former
secretary OF the treasury. In which he
Is reported as having said that war
between the United States and Japan
was inevitable.
The speech has caused most
gloomy impression among Japanese
and foreigners alike. The specials

having said that war between the
Two countries was likely to break out
at any moment The press and the
public are unable to understand the
reason for these violent utterances.
The Asaihi Skimbun and the jill
ShIapo print long specials from San
Francisco, quoting Mr. Shaw's speech
at Morristown. n. J.. on last Tuesday
Commenting on this speech, the pa
pers remark the coincidence In the
receipt of these dispatches at a time
when preparations are being made at
Yokohama and in this city for reccp-
ton to the 700 Americans aboard the
steamer Cleveland. which is due at
Yokohama tomorrow morning
EdItorially, the papers repudiate the
suggestion that Japan is seeking con
troll OF the Pacific and declare that
American competition Will be wei
coined.
