TAFT MND TERAUGH
Two War Ministers Discuss a Probable
Entente.
Tokio (By Cable). ~-Preliminary to
three days of social and diplomatic
activity, Secretary of War Taft and
hig party spent a quiet Sunday rest-
ing In the Palace of Shiba, an ancient
and picturesque residence belonging
to the imperial family. During the
day numerous Japanese dignitaries
and officials called upon the Secre-
tary, many of them accompanied by
thelr wives.
Charlie Taft organized a baseball
game on the famous lawn of the
castle with a number of Japanese
Youths, It was intended to play the
game Bunday, but hig father ob-
Jected and caused a postponement
until Monday.
Among the most important of the
callers on the Secretary was Lieu-
tenant General ierauchi, the imper-
fal minister of war, who had a
lengthy conference with Mr. Taft.
Some importance is being attached
to the fact that there have been two
conferences between the two war
ministers, and on account of the my-
tual admiration and the influence of
Lieutenant General Terauchi, it is
belleved in certain quarters that the
ground work ig being lald for an
entente concerning immigration,
which, it is conceded, is the
point on which there is difference of
opinjon between the two countries.
It is intimated that if the oppor-
tunity arises during his conference
with the Emperor Mr. Taft may
broach this subject to him and leave
fts future arrangement to Mr.
O'Brien, the American ambassador.
Diplomatic circles, however, do not
credit this rumor, it being
there that Mr. Taft {s not on a direct
mission. The probability of such an
occurrence, however, is freely dis-
cussed among the Japanese,
