JAPANESE FISHERS
ALLEGED SPYING ON U.S.A. FLEET NUMBER OF CRAFT SEIZED. ' AN EXTENSIVE DRIVE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LOS ANGELES, February 20. A number of Japanese fishing boats from the Pacific followed the United States fleet into the Caribbean Sea, according to information received by the United States Attorney, Mr Benjamin Harrison, who is directing an extensive drive against such craft suspected of spying on the fleet and on coastal defences. During the past year 80 boats have been seized. Mr Harrison observed: “It seems quite significant that these boats arc fishing there for the first time. Several have been observed watching the fleet at war games through long-range glasses.”
