The Minister in China (Johnson) to the Secretary of State

1073. Department’s 301, September 2, 6 p.m. Colonel Gulick made no protest to Japanese. I do not know where John Goette got incorrect information which he cabled. Colonel Gulick called on Japanese to request they discontinue holding maneuvers in private compound of one of the officers of our own guard. Legation here is doing all it can to avoid situation described in last paragraph Department’s telegram.
