Captain of the Mongolia Asked It

TBy ele graph to The Tribune
San Francisco, Aug 9.-Captain E. P.
Kit, master of the Pacific Mail steamship
Mongolia. testified under oath to-day that
Japanese naval officers are so hostile to
Americans that they refused him aid in

on the morning of July IA.
AT II a. NJ, said Captain Kit, II re-
quested assistance from the Japanese man
of-war Takao Kan, lying in the harbor a
short distance away. and assistance was
refused.
Local steamship inspectors said the case
did not come under their jurisdiction, il
being a matter of international ethics. II
is expected that the refusal of the officers
of the Takao Kan to assist the Mongolia
in distress will he made the subject Of

"THE VE4NTNG OF MODERN lib
ERTY"


Mr.. Canalejas was doubtless right in
saving the other day that the reaction
arv CIericaIs who signed the manifesto
AGAINST the Spanish government did not
comprehend the meaning of modern lib
ertv. The same reproach might with
scarcely less propriety be directed
against many others, and we are not
sure that Mr- Canalejas and his col
leagues. admirable as their attitude is in
many respects, would be found entirely
immune. Certainly the conception OF
liberty. particularly as between State
and Church. which has long been com
monDIace in America, seems to be little
comprehended or at any rate not practi-
ally applied by even the liberal and adj
Yanced governments of Europe.
