The veFsel is ensaged in carrying food from Japan to New- Chwang. Commissioner Campbell contends that if she is allowed to go it will be a violation of Chinas neutrality, and insists upon the car- go being landed here. The Japanese Consul here has protested against the commissioner's decision, and has referred the matter to Mr. Uchlda, the Japanese Minister at Pekin. Mr. Cami)l)ell meanwhile has appealed to 3ir Robert Hart, Inspector-General tt Customs for China, for support. It is believed the Independent ia con- veying a largo sum 01 money, esti- I mated at l(>,U()0,oon yen ($5,000.- 000). to pay the Japanese army.
