| PREPARATIONS FOR WAR WITH CHINA.
| SAN FRANCISCO, September 4.--The steam
ship Great Republic arrived here to-day.
| She brings Yokohoma dates to August 4th.
The japanese adhere to their determination
not TO be driven into war with China
4 except in the last extremity. The whole
| tendency of their present negotiations is
pacific, but so many influences are operating
against them that they feel the necessity of
| fulIy preparing themselves. To this. end,
/ large bodies of troops have been assembled
| in certain southern ports, ready for instant
| departure in the case of need, and several
/ large steamers have been added to their trans

! General Lezendre, who sailed for China a
/ fortnight ago to continue peaceful negotla-
1 tiops commenced in Formosa, was arrested
nv United States officials On landiDg at Ar
! nav. It is not yet known whether he will
be temporarily or permanently detained.
/ Astopishment at the news OF his arrest IS
chiefly caused by the fact that the amicabe
character of his mission was known to every.
body. 1t is looked upon as another proof OF
the determination of foreign representatives
i to obstruct the efforts of Japan to arrive a!
i a fair understanding. No foreigner acting
on behalf of China has been molested or H.
terfered with in any way.
Il The japanese Government, foresee'ng the
i possibiity of obstacles in General LeZendre's
4 case. dispatched other commissioners imme-
diately after his departure who could not be
bindered in their duties. They are to pro-
coed Immediately to Pekin. .
The Mikado takes the keenest interest ID
the deliberations of the Government on the
Formosa question. On the 4th of August
he personally visited the office OF the First
Board of the Government and presided over
the debates-an act almost without prece-
dent in modern times.
