Washington, Jan. 14.
Admiral Gleaves has cabled to the State Department from Shanghai to the effect that it is unnecessary for him to proceed 10 Vladivostok to "investigate the death of Lieut. Langdon.
In a further report, Admiral Gleaves states that the Japanese Commander at Vladivostok has given orders that hereafter sentries must not challenge Americans.
Baron Shidehara has visited Mr. B. G. Davis, the Acting Secretary of State, and expressed his Government's regret for the incident. The Ambassador has received a message stating that the sentry who shot Lieut. Langdon was very ignorant, and will be arrested and court-martialled. These developments have gone far towards adjusting the situation.—U. Navy Radio through Reuter.
