American business men espec ially regret the publications because the revival of the anti-Japanese pro paganda in America will, they fear,' undoubtedly afford gratification to the competing countries represented here and also seriously damage Amer ican trade.

When Count Okuina returned today from the country he said to the Asso ciated Press that he was surprised to find that his utterances had been con sidered purposely offensive. "It was only natural," said he, "in reviewing the world's politics, to point out that Japan's rise above the hori zon had caused the American navy to turn its attention toward the Pacitic, When it was absolutely true that some Americans talk unwisely con cerning, Japan but never for an in stant have I desired or intended to re flect on the honor and courage of the American navy or its. sailors; but it is an uncontrovertable fact that com mercial considerations weigh mater ially with all older nations, even when it becomes a question of war. No one will endeavor more earnestly tlian myself to cultivate cordial rela tions with America because I realize that only through such cordial relati ons can Japan hope to become a real ly great nation." In an article published in the Ilochi, August 11, Count Okuma attributed the present naval expansion policy of the United States to the sudden rise of Japanese to the importance of . world power, saying in part: "Judging from the fragmentary speeches of President Roosevelt that have been transmitted here, it, is not difficult to state and Controller Metz, acting a Judges."

With a valuable cargo on board, the ship has been lying at Pier 14, East river, for a week, but the Cuban consul re fused to clear her without a flag. The Cuban secretary of state was appealed to and, he cabled back that if the ves sel started she would be liable to sei zure as a Pirate craft. Under the Cuban law the vesel had to be owned by a Cuban to have a Cuban registry granted to her. So it was that on Tuesday the Launberga was sold to Former Senator Jose Freias. This done, she was put under the Cuban flag, and in order to allow her sail ing today the Cuban consulate was kept open last night while the officers force made out 'the necessary papers.
