San Francisco, July 29.-Thes steamer
Arabic from Hong Kong via Yokoho-
ma, has arrived, bringing advices as
follows:
Hong Kong, July 3.-Prince Arisu-
gawa, the Japanese eDperor's uncle, has
left here for Naples, en- route to st.
Petersburg. The news of Gov. Hen
nessy's impending return to Hong Kong
Ia received with great satisfaction by
the best class of Chinese subjects.
Earnest discussions are going on be-
tween Tsang Ii Yamlu and the French
legation, respecting the recent invasion
of Tonquin. The Chinese show a de-
termination to press the matter strongly
upon the French government. Chinese
statesmen are persistently silent as to
the recent Corean treaties; refusing any
information at all.
Yokohoma, July 14.-Yashida Kyon-
ari, late minister of japan in Washing
ton. has been appointed vice minister
of foreign affairs. This appointment
Is regarded with surprise, Yashida
having held a position Of equal rank
ten years ago; and when recalled from
America last winter it was with the
understanding that he should be chief
minister of finance. But the present
government adheres to the policy of
excluding men of ability from the i'm
perial council, and keeping the control
of national affairs In the hands of a
small body of adroit but Enthusiastically
office holders. Japan is now absolutely
ruled by Inouye Kaouru, and politicians
of peculiar antecedents are his immedi-
ate group Of folio wers. The, ministry in
general are extremely restless under his
sway, and but for the necessity of
maintaining an undivided front during
the negotiations for a treaty revision,
dissatisfaction would be openly mani
tested. Uyend Kafenori, former Japan
envoy to London, has been appointed
envoy to Vienna. 1t is reported that
Mort Arinori, present envoy to Eng
land, is to be superseded on the ground
of h~abitually showing more Difference
to British interests than to those of his
own country.
The cholera still spreads, the utmost
efforts Of the authorities failing to
check 10. A great fire occurred in the
rural districts of the northern province
Of Sendai; estimated loss two and a
half million yen.
The heavy floods in the southern
province of Kumamata caused a loss
estimated at upward of three million
yen.
Matsuda, governor of Toxic and
vicinity, an able administrator is dead.
The assaults upon Japanese in Corean
ports still continue to be frequent, and
considerable police reinforcements will
be sent each month from Japan. The
relations between the two governments
remain friendly, however. Corea has
asked Japan for a confidential adviser
on diplomatic matters, to be regularly
attached to the Corean foreign office.
Japanese capitalists are p%etitioning for
permission to establish large enterprises
In Corea.
A German ship of war INDUCING In
prolonged target practice in the harbor
Of Awamori has so broken up the a fishing
industry there, and caused such con
sternation among the natives, whose
lives are endangered, that a formal re-
monstrance has been sent from the peo-
pie of that locality, but probably no
action will be taken, as the present
Japanese ministry invariably submit to
aggressions inflicted by Germans.
The arrangements for opening the
new government bank are still uncom-
pleted. There is no difficulty in finding
a suitable president, but 1t is not ex-
pected to be in full operation before the
end of the INT The project of
instituting mixed courts with foreign
judges, is again under government con
sideratiOn.
