Moots Washington, March 21. The Amer ican battleship fleet i to visit Japan. The desire ol the emperor of the Island Kingdom lo play li.at to the llect was laid I lore Secretary Kt rimraday hv ISaton Takihiia, the Jaianeae am bassador. 'I be Invitation, which was coached In most cordial terms, was made the subject of extended consider ation by President Ko-aevell and his entire cabinet yeateiday. Mr. Hoot waa directed to accept the Invitation and the acceptance was laid befoi the Jap anew ambassador late yrUrdey. H is regarded ' crlu ial circle here as more than likely that China will he next lo bid for a look at the fleet, and that, should th-a be the case, the Juritatlon will be accepted. Secretary Melralf and A.lmlial Pills burg, chief of psvigstion, are arranging the details ol the new itinerary. With the exception of China, it is deter mined that all other invitations, shoo Id any I received, will be declined, for at the best the fleet will not now be able to reach the Atlantic scatxard be fore the first Of ne 1 1 March. The itinerary, which em to be the most direct, includes stop at tha lis waiian islands. Samoa, Melbourne, Sydney, Manila, Yokohama should that port be selected as the stopping place in Japan poMibty a Chinese port, back to the Philippine, and then home hv way ol the Sues iwiial, with only such slops a ate nmsary for calling. The latl taryvt practice las been planned to occupy a month at Manilla, either before or after the visit to Jn Allhuugh target practice ia rrgarded j decidi-diy important, and the custom is to liave the ship necupv a month in each apring and fall in gun practice the desire to have the fleet return to its home station may lead to a curtalln ent ol the month planned for Manila. Japan will hate the ships a week. according to the tentative plans. Wlnl. the stops in foreign ports so lor made have been on an anraon of ten days duration, a part ol thai lime was occu pied in taking on coal. With a lil to Manila, no coaling operations w.H be necessary in Yokohama. This would enable the entire stay there to I given up to festivities and show fiaturns of the visit. The acceptance ol the Japanese Invl tation is regarded in natal circles ss ol considerable importance in ths way ol showing the cordiality enating between Japan and tha Coiled State.
