of Japan.
WASHINGTON. March 22. President
Taft today bad a. cordial Interview with
the Japanese embassador. Baron I'chlda,
whom be sent for to felicitate with hi in
upon the ratification of the new treaty
between this country and JapaA. He took
advantage of the occasion to ( assure the
ambassador that never In the history of
the two c6uhtrles had the relations been
so pleasant as they are today, never hadi
talk of war been more absurd.
President Taft expressed pleasure at the
opportunity to set at rest, once and for
all the stories published from time to
time In the last two weeks, that back of
the administration's acts in sending troops
to the Mexican border waa a motive of
precaution against some expected treach
erous act by Japan, it also was reported
that Japan had secured from Mexico a
coaling ststlnn In the Pacific coast to be
used as a baae in attacking the I'nltcd
States.
The president said he was amazed to
find on his return from Augusta that some
newspapers had been giving credence to
these reports by publishing them in a
prominent manner. It was the first he
had heard of them and he quickly ex
pressed hla regret that such "malicious
stories" as he called them, should gain
circulation.
Baron I'chlda is said to have assured
the president that he attached no Impor- j
tance to the reports and had discovered ;
that they emanated from Irresponsible
sources.
, The Interview lasted for fully half an
hour, the president and the ambassador
chatting with unusual informality.
