JAPANESE SQUADRON
additional details. ARRIVAL ON MONDAY. The Honorary Consul for Japan, Mr Arthur Young, informs us that a slight mistake occurred in the previous issue of our paper regarding the number of guns to be fired on the arrival of the warships. The correct number is as follows: — On arrival in the harbour, the warships will fire a salute in honour of the Country of 21 guns, which; will be replied to by a shore battery with 21 guns. H.M.S. Chatham will then salute His Excellency Vice-Admiral Saito’s flag with 16 guns, which the flagship Asamo will reply to with an equal number. After coming alongside the wharf, and after the visit of the General Officer Commanding the N.Z. Military Forces, a salute of 13 guns will be fired, and after the visit of the Commodore, a salute of 11 guns will be fired.
Hie Excellency Vice-Admiral Saito has cabled the Honorary Consul, advising him that the warships will arrive on the afternoon of Monday, February 4th, and that the afternoon calls proposed to be made on that day will not be made until the morning of Tuesday, February 6th.
