" ,": :--: Ail investigation that may result in serious complications, will be made into the act uns of two Japanese, at Fort Stcvcnl, on Tuesday. Informa tion was received some time ago, un officially, of the possibility of spies plying, their investigations into our coast defenses, but while no serious attention was paid to the information, the officers and men have been alert for any suspicious actions on the part of visitors, especially those of the yellow race. A rule, in vogue hereto fore, restricting visitors to the forti fications, to certain parts, was re moved some time ago and perfect freedom of investigation was afforded. fn this however such frceUom is al lowed only to American citizens and all white people are cosidered Ameri cans, the Japs and Chinese being debarred. The importance of this post to our coast defense is well known, and is thoroughly appreciated by the officers there, and no suspicious actions' will escape them. On Tuesday, while one of the sen tries was partoUimr the west battery, he discovered two well dressed Jap anese walking along the parapet, who seemed very much interested in what they saw. Knowing that permission to be in the place they wercf must be obtained from the commander, he watched them and noticing them pointing' at the guns and holding an interesting conversation he arrested the men and haled them before Lieutenant Kcrfoot, the adjutant general, who asked an explanation of their conduct, and reason for being in the prescribed territory. No .satis factory explanation could be obtain ed and .although' nothing of an in criminating nature could be found on them, it is thought possible that they might be there for the. purpose of obtaining data for sketches, and as to the modes of defense. Th.e west bat tery is a most important one which makes the presence of these men the more suspicious. A thorough and searching investi gation of this matter will be made and some developments may arise. 0 0 0 PmOflAL mention ooo A. Dunbar, left up for Portland la; t night on the steamer Lurline.
