JAPANESE APOLOGY
STOPPING OF BRITISH SHIP
HONG KONG, September 8. A Japanese destroyer, after firing a warning shot, stopped the British steamer Taishan, bound for Canton, and boarded her. After examining her papers the Japanese released the vessel and apologised, stating that they would not have fired if they had known the ship was British. The appearance of six Japanese warships off LuichOw Peninsula has aroused fear of an impending raid on Hainan Island, whoso garrison is being feverishly reinforced from the mainland.
