Dispute Over Marcus Island

A DISPUTE has arisen between the Japanese Government and certain citizens of the United States over the ownership of Marcus Island, about 1,000 miles from the coast of Japan. The American claimants have fitted out an expedition and sailed for the island, and the Japanese Government has despatched a cruiser to protect the Japanese who are now there against the American expedition. Japan has warned the State Department that it considers itself the owner of the island.
