that it has no authority over oceanic

complainant.

WILL VISIT JAPAN
President Accepts Imitation lor
Battleship Fleet.
HAY CALL AT CHINESE PORT
Cordial Hsctptlon Promised st Yokohama-All
Other Invttatlors
Are to Be Declined.
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. The
added trip ia nearly r.,ual in distance
to a voyage Irom New York to Kuropa.
