Since the war with Russia, Admiral
Togo has held the position of Chief
of the naval staff of Japan, a position
corresponding to that conferred upon
George Dewey, who is the admiral of
the United States navy and president
of the general board. - Togo is the pop

He comes to the United States from

The tentative program for his visit
includes entertainments at New York.

The official functions will culminate at
Washington, where elaborate prepara

and other entertainments of a semi
public nature are being arranged. Ad

American naval officers and diplo

Togo declare that modesty and reserve
are hl most striking characteristics.
He is described as a man of Gew words.

He wears a beard, which', though trim

of two sons and a daughter. Hunting

The Satsuma were famous for the mili

It wa In the SatautBa navy that Togo
began his career. It was from the navy
of the Satsuma, victorious over the
Shogun forces, that the Imperial navy
of Japan was created. The story of

tion up to the gunners.
In the civil wars of tha next few
years, in which the Shogunate was
overthrown, Togo fought in many of.
the naval ba'tles, but without especial
distinction. With the triumph of the
emperor, and the forming of an im
perial navy out of the victorious aSt
suma warships, Togo saw his oppor
tunity. He applied for and received a
commission to go to England to study
for a naval career,
Hie went to London In 1871. and
soon after to Plymouth, where he be
gan a course in naval apprenticeship
on board N. M. training shin Worcea

'By the grace of heaven and the
place of Togo and his fleet during
those months is not yet generally
known. With infinite patience he
waited, and prepared to meet the great
fleet he knew was coming.
Admiral Togo chose that the battlj
should be fought on his terms, and no;
those of the enemy. He deliberately
staked everything on the chance that
the RussTans would pass through the
straits of Tsushima on their way to
Vladivostok. Just without this pas-

In 1882 Togo, then a vice captain,
won a present from his government
for his services and gallantry In lead
ing a landing party to quell disturb
ances In Seoul, where the Korean king
had permitted insults to the Japanese.
In ' 1884 he was sent to observe the
progress of the Franco-Chinese war,
after which he made a special report
to his Imperial majesty.
In 1891 he was placed in ommand
of the Naniwa, the warship from which !
three years later Togo struck the first
blow of the Chinese-Japanese war.
An incident during his first command
nearly closed hlg career. ;
' At a time when war was expected
but not yet declared, the Naniwa fall
in with a British steamer, loaded with
Chinese troops. Togo ordered the
Er.tlbh captain to follow, him. , The ,
Chinese officers on board the trans-
tort prevented the captain from do
ing so, whereupon Togo sunk the ves-
sel with a single shol. Togo's action
caused a controversy among the au
ihor'tieu on international law, it beivg
c'w.raed that his act was nothing
short of murder, Threats of reprlsa's '
by England were made, and Togo' alt- !
ua ton was critical. '
Fearful lest his government be un
able to support his action, Togo made
this public announcement: ' v
"If my action should prove fttnl to
the imperial policy, and hrin my
country into difficulties, I ; will .. at
once commit harlkarl (suicide)."
However, it was finally held that he
was Justified by the rules of war.
Togo came out of the war a rear ad
miral, and received many honors from
his. i-overe-ign.' When Russia interfered
in the peace negotiations and Japan
became convinced that she was being
robbed of the fruits of her splendid
victory, her rulers foresaw that their
nation must inevitably clash with the
czar in the orient. To Admiral Togo
was entrueted the task of preparing'
the Japanese navy for the struggle
which was to come at the end of a de-
cade. The Japanese statesmen were
convinced that Japan must fight for
her life on the sea.
Most of the next ten years Togo
spent on shore, preparing for the war,'
A good part of this time he command
ed the Malzuru naval station, which
became the cradle of the Japanjeee
navy. He devoted himself Uy building
an organization; and etudylng nataf
tactics. When the war clouds appear
ed,) he was appointed commander In
chief of the united squadron, com
prising practically all of Japan's nav
al strength. As he left for his com
mand, and was asked If he had any
messages for his family ha replied
"Nothing in particular tell them I
am well and happy and not to distract
me by sending me letters." " ;

two days after the delivery of the Jap

with great damage, the Russian squad

the nerve-racking watch of month be

he had the Russian -fleet bottled up.
It was there that the commander in
