OCR Text	Show JAPAN HAS NO FURTHER USE FOR AUXILIARIES TOKIO. Feb. 2S. On account of Admiral Ad-miral Togo's successes at Port Arthur the reopening of the sea to Japanese merchantmen and the revival of shipping, ship-ping, the Japanese Government does not anticipate that It will have further need for the auxiliary cruisers America Ameri-ca Maru and Yawata Maru, and they will be disarmed and returned to their owners. Nothing now prevents the America Maru from - resuming her place on the San Francisco line and Yawata Maru on the Australian run. In preparing for the war Japan armed a big fleet of fast auxlllarv cruisers on account of the equality of naval strength between the Russians and Japanese, but it is believed that the auxiliary cruisers are no longer needed. It is expected the other auxiliary auxil-iary cruisers will be disarmed and released.
