MINNESOTA STORICAL SOCIETY. | TEN CENTS PER WEEK NO APOLOGY TO JAPAN STATE DEPARTMENT SUSTAINS KILLING OF SEAL POACHERS OFF ALASKAN COAST. OFFICIAL DISPATCH SENT TO TOKIO NEWS OF “REGRETTABLE INCI DENT” CABLED TO AMERI. ! CAN AMBASSADOR. ‘Washington, Aug. 9.—Acting Secre- tary of State Bacon has sent to Am-! bassador Wright, at Tokio, the sub- stance of the dispatch received by the department of commerce and from Solicitor Sims, at Sitka, Al regarding the killing of five Japanese fishermen on St. Paul island. In send- ing the dispatch the acting secretary stated that it is forwarded for the purpose of giving information such as this government has of a regrettable incident, news of which may reach Japan in distorted form. There is no Intention of uffering an apology or any bor turther regret than is contained in| this dispatch, as the state department regards the Japanese fishermen as Poachers if they were within the three- mile limit and the dispatch from Mr. 8ims emphasizes this fact. Seals are recognized as property by International law and the Japanese killed by American officials on St. Panl fsland stand in the same position as burglars shot in the act of stealing. according to prominent authoritie International law. No internatio cident can result from the shooting of the Japauese poachers, it is said at the state department. This govern ment has no amends to make to Japan other than those that courtesy may prompt and a mere expression of re- gret that such an incident should take place is all that is looked for. The Japanese charge, Mr, Miyaoka, called at the state department for in- formation about the killing of the Japanese. He had received no advices from his government concerning the affair and Acting Secret; Bacon gave him the same information which ‘was sent to Ambassador Wright. After discussing the matter with Mr. Bacon Mr. Miyaoka agreed that it was not a case to cause an interna- tional incident and that it was sim- flar to other clashes that have oc- curred between citizens of onge coun- try on the soil of ancther.

Against Mr. Hering I have no direct evidence.
