TENDER OF JAPANESE
SUPPLIES REJECTED

SHANGHAI, Aug. %. tJPD-
The Japanese navy has refused t"
give the L. s. gunboat Mouocacy
permission either 10 proceed 10
Kiukiang or go down the Nangtse
river to Wuhu, it was learned to-
day.
The gunboat refused n JaDa-
nese offer to put fuel and food

she is an American ship and has a
right 10 navigate the YangtSc.
The gunboat has been in the vi
cinity of Kiukiang, which the Jap
anese captured after fierce fight
ing. for several weeks and several
times has sought permission to
move on.
The Monocacy has sufficient
food for a fortnight and fuel for
a week. Six hundred tons of coal
await her at Kiukiang.
The U. S. gunboat Oahu is go
ing to Wuhu from Marking to
await the u. s. governments final
decision on whether the vessels
shall attempt navigation OF the
river in spite of the japanese
blockade.
The Japanese have insisted that
conditions along the river IN the
war zone are too dangerous to
permit foreign traffic.

FRANCO DECLARES AMERICANS
IN LOYALIST RANKS FACTOR
IN NON-INTERVENTION FAILURE
Statement Issued to Demo-
cratic Countries by
Chieftain

EURGOS, Spain, Aug. -. lUPO
GcncraIiSsimo Francisco franco
of the Spanish nationaIiStS said
last night that the presence Of
1000 Americans in the loyaIist
armies was partially responsible
for his virtual rejection of the
non intervention "voluntccrs'
withdrawal plan.
Franco issued the statement to
foreign newspaper correspondents,
in particular those representing
the press of Democratic countries,
to explain the reasons underlying
his negative reply to the voIun-
tccrS evacuation scheme.
The statement was aimed chief
~ at France and warned the
French government against any
action in opening the
PyrcnccS border for arms ship
mcuts to loyalist Spain.
The French government banned
publication Of Francois statement
in France.
"Thc uon-intcrvcution agree
mcnt affects only half Of the for
eigncrS fighting in the red army
because it deals only with Euro
pcanS," Franco said. The United
States press recently admitted
10000 Americans have joined the
red army"
He added that Americans and
other foreign volunteers of the
loyaliSt international brlgadcs
have suffered enormous casual
ties in six weeks Of fighting along
the Ebro valley front on the west
crn border Of Catalonia and many
others have been taken prisoner.
Fifty per cent of the prison
crS and dead of the international
brigade on the Ebro front were
non-Europeans," he said.
Il believe that numerous mem
hers of the non-interventiOn COM
mittce ignore this fact.
"The withdrawal of foreigners
will not prejudice national Spain.
"Without the arrival Of 10000
members of the international
brigade at Madrid the war would
have been ended in November,
1896"
He said that it was not until af-
ter the defense of Madrid by the
international brigade under com
mand of General Jose Miaja that
the nationalists accepted the Of
fers of foreigners to fight on our
side"
"Previously we had refused
them" he asserted.
