the reason for their unceremonious re- j

TOKIO, Jan. 7.—A remarkable situation
has arisen as a result of the publication
In London of a mistranslation of the
speech delivered by Count Okuma at
Kobe. Little attention was paid to this
address at the time of Its delivery because
Count Okumu in previous speeches on this
subject had made Ills views well known
Tho London presentation placed the
count In position of urging India to rise
against Great Britain. Count Okuma and
the Japanese foreign office have been
bombarded with cablegrams of inquiry
from Paris. Berlin and London, and re
o.'ietsts that the count publicly repudiate
or confirm his remarks.
In reply Count Okuma said today: "In
my Kobe speech I did not use the words j
! that were put Into my mouth. It Is ap
parent that a mistranslation of these re
marks has reached England. My views
on the subject of trade with India as
well as my friendliness to Great Britain

necessary for me to publicly repudlaU
the absurd construction which has been
placed upon the remarks placed upon my

"India offers us a fine field for trade,
