The steamer Admiral Sampson
reached Valdez at 9:30 this morning
in command of Captain Jensen. The
vessel had 70 tons of freight for Val

mine and 100 tons for Fort Liscum.
Forty-two soldiers to fill up the ranks
of the two companies now stationed
at Fort Liscum came up on the Ad

The Sampson will go as far west as
Kodiak and is expected in Valdez on
next Monday.
The steamer called at Yakataga
beach and unloaded 22 tons of
freight at the beach mining camp, the
first received there in four months.
The entire trip from Seattle to Val
dez was in the finest of weather and
the ocean from Cape Spencer to
'Hinchinbrook was like a mill pond.

steamer all of last summer, is again

to uphold their government in any
stand it may take to force recogni
tion of the rights of Japanese in the
United States, and especially so in
California and other Pacific coast
states.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The en
tire message delivered by Foreign
Minister Makino was telegraphed to
day to the Department of State by
the American minister, George W.
Guthrie, and the message is now un
der consideration by the officials of
the State department. It is, however,
not expected that the government will
make any protest to the Japanese
government over the statements made
by the foreign secretary.
Coming at this time, when the re
lations between the United States and
European powers are badly strained
by reason of the unsatisfactory con
dition in Mexico, a break with Japan
will embarrass the administration.
The members of the Foreign Re
lations committee of the Senate have
been in consultation with the presi
dent today regarding the Japanese
situation.
