EXPLANATION MADE Rear-Admiral Holt, Mr. Prideaux Brune, the British Consul at Nan king and other British officials met the Japanese commander, who said that the British flags could not be dis- cerned owing to the fog and smoke, so the Japanese believed the British ships to be enemy vessels.

Furthermore, the statement serts, it was the duty of this Jopun-: ese detachment to sink at enemy vessels on the river, while the Japan- ese did not dream any third-power vessels would be in such a dangerous fighting aren. The statement further adds that the vessels seemed to be landing Chinese on the river bank, and concludes with the observation that the Aring was entirely uninten- tional. that it was an unfortunate affair and sincerely regretted by the Japanese command.--Reuter.
