The Herald's Toxic special says Great
surprise n indignation are felt here at
the reports OF the English journals, which
nave Just been received, that the Loo Choo
question had once more come into promi-
nence; that hostilities were threatened be-
tween China and Japan; that the recent
preparations in Japanese dockyards, and
the armament OF her soldiers, were d.
rected against the Celestial Empire, and
in the event Of a Chinese war with Russia,
the Mikado would side with the Gar. The
Chinese officials are emphatic in their pro-
testations. The Russian diplomatists also
repudlate the alleged intrigues, not with
out a laugh at their absurdity.
