Tientsin, June 21.
Japanese consular authorities today declined to arrange an interview between Major C.H.B. Delamain, brigade major of the British forces here, and the chief of staff of the Japanese de-Ņ tense forces.
Major Delamain, it was learned, was informed that the interview could not be arranged if the object of his visit would be similar to that made by Mr. E. G. Jamieson, British Consul-
General to Mr. Shigenori Tashiro, Japanese Consul-General, on Monday.
During this call, Mr. Jamieson made strong representations against the strictness displayed by the Japanese sentries at the seven searching posts towards British subjects.—Domei.
