 Yarnell's rejection of the demands was transmitted to Japanese author ities by Clarence E. Gauss, U. s. consul general at Shanghai.
 Naval authorities her emphasized that Yarnell's pronouncement is a direct reiteration. of the policy he enunciated in 1897, declaring that American warship5 have the right and will continue to protect the in- terests of American citizens when ever and wherever necessary.
 Yarnell's outspoken declaration of American rights was delivered to Admiral Koshiro Oikawa, comman- der of the third Japanese fleet in China waters. It amounted to flat rejection of Japanese demands that the Pillsbury leave the harbor.
 Instead of complying with that demand, the Pillsbury remained at her Swatow station, and another U. s. destroyer, the Pope, steamed into the Harbor.
 Yarnell, who has wide discretion ary powers in handling the navy in the Far East, is at Chingwantao, China.
 "The navy department has been informed that Admiral Yarnell in- formed senior Japanese naval au- thorities that the paramount duty of the United States naval vessels is the protection of American citizens and they will go wherever it is nec- essary at any time to carry out that mission and will remain in such place as long as American citizens are in need of protection or assist ance," the navy department said.
 Navy officials emphasized that Yarnell's statement represented a continuation of the policy he enun- ciated in 1887 that the navy is pre- pared to protect American interests in the Far East whenever needed.

 We will answer all your ques- tions when we come," she continued, jokingly, 'but we hope you are all ways as friendly as you are now"
 A correspondent told the duke his recent peace speech was well re- ceived in the United States.
 'T am glad to hear that" he re- piled. "when the politicians speak every one says Whats their gamer I have none. My only interest is that there will be no general war, which would be certain to bring destruc- ton to civilization"
 A correspondent said that he had heard another European crisis was brewing.
 T have not heard of that" said the duke. We have been living on crises for one and half years. I firmly believe that nothing is so se- rious that it can not be worked out without war"

 As regard their rejection of protests against the food blockade at Kulangsu, the Japanese said to- day that they had rejected the pro- tests because food was plentiful. Foreign consuls say it is not.
 A British news agency dispatch from Hong Kong said that the Jap- anese today fired on the Italian freighter steamship Roma, com- manded by an American citizen, Capt. A. M. Miller, because he failed to recognize" a Japanese warship signal to halt as he approached the harbor. Shots fell inside Bri- tish territorial waters. The ship was not hit.

 The British consulate general, de- string to counteract false reports abroad of mass evacuations, pulp lished formal denial today that any evacuation had been executed or was contemplated.

 M. J. Smirnov, Russian consul general added his governments pro- tests today to those of the United States and Great Britain against | interference with their citizens at the Japanese barricades. British Consul General Phillips at Shanghai, after his conference with American Consul General Gauss, sent a note to the Japanese firmly rejecting the Swatow ultima tum.
 Phillips said that British subjects had a perfect right to remain at Swatow and that British ships had perfect right to trade there.
 Hence, he said, the British gov- ernment could not accept the Jap- anese ultimatum.
