CHINESE TROOPS ON THE MARCH
Japan Rejects the Proposals of Eng
land and Mediation Now
Seems Impossible.

=: LONDON, July pa dispatch TO the
Times from Shanghai says war between
China and Japan is considered certain.
The London reporter Of the Associated
Press visited the Japanese legation mere
TO learn, if possible, whether the report
was true that war has been declared oe-
tween China and Japan IN regard TO
Corea. No official denial or continuation
of the report could be had, but the whole
staff of the legation made DO attempt to
disguise their delight at the thought OF
war with China.
At the Chinese legation it was stated no
news of the declaration Of war had been
received 1t was added that if the rumOr
was true the first report of the matter
would come from Japan and not from
China.
Another visit was made to the Chinese
legation tonight The officials stated no
late news has been received owing to an
interruption of the cable service. The
latest information received at the legation
was to the effect that 10 900 Chinese troops
would start for Corea. Japan had re-
jected the proposals made by the British
Minister, although the latter had coun-
.
=: Tie Chinese Government had thereupon
declared that unless the japanese troops
were Withdrawn from Seoul and Chemulpo
: China would break off the negotiations.
=. The officials, further questioned, said
they dlscIedited the rumor that war has
been declared.
Inquiries were also made at the Foreign
Office, but it was stated NO news had been
received there.
g.: "A telegram received from Yokohama
tonight states that the acceptance by Corea
of the conditions proposed by China is con-
ditional upon the withdrawal Of the Chi
nese troops from Corea. The Japanese
Government WAS surprised at this firm
::stand. which is supposed to prove that the
Chinese influence is paramount in COrea.
In the direct negotiations between Toxic
and Peking, China has so far ignored the
Japanese counter propositions.

REPORT FROM DIR. ELDREDGE
Rapid Spread of the Terrible
Disease.
ONE HUNDRED NEW CASES DAILY
In Japan a Quarantine System of
Ships Is Working in Full
Operation.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Recognizing the
difficulties in the way of obtaining accurate
information upon sanitary matters from
oriental countries, DR.. Stuart Eldredge,
the health officer of the port of Yokohama
and member Of the Imperial Board OF
Health of Toxic, has sent to the Marine
Hospital Bureau semi-0ficial statement
of the plague in Southern China.
IL appears from his report that this
scourge, of which only fragmentary news
has been received, is one Of the most fear
full Oh record. having It's greatest hold AT
the port of Hong-KOng, where most OF the
foreign commerce touches. The disease
broke out in Canton late last February.
and at the same time was epidemic at
Pakhoi, port not often visited by Euro
peans. During March and April it steadily
increased until it assumed gigantic pro-
portions.
According to the letter of DR.. Eldridge
the Eastern authorities treated the disease
with their ordinary indifference. Al
though Hong-Kong is the center Of trade
in the East, but half days journey from
Canton, and in constant communication
Herewith, the existence of danger was
ignored. Several cases appeared in Hong
Kong during the first days of May. 1t
steadily increased III that place until the
mortality has reached 100 day despite the
exodus of 100000 Chinese and many Eu-
ropeans.
The natives in most cases have left on
feeling the first symptoms OF the disease
in the hope of dying in their native vii
lagos. while dozen Europeans have been
attac acked and most of them have died.
From Canton and Hong-Kong the disease
is spreading through the neighboring
country, and will probably appear soon in
the coast towns of China north of Hong
Kong. because from the carelessness in
these ports no effective quarantine is
likely to be established.
Several cases have already occurred on
steamers travelling from Hong Kong to
Chinese ports, but without serious conse-
auences on account of prompt action by
the ships surgeons. A quarantine system
has been put in operation in Japan hold
ing ships from the infected district nine
days after arrival, or after the last case
has abated, and but one infected ship has
reached Japan.
'If l may presume to advise" says Dr.
Eldredge, II would say the most stringent
measures may need to be taken TO protect
the United States, particularly as regards
certain classes Of goods from China likely
TO convey infection. rags, old cotton, ETC.,
and also such manufactured articles as are
made in the native workshops with per-
haps case of plague dying in the same
room; such things as straw mating, en-
broidereS aud every sort of textile fabric.
So long as the disease is kept out OF Japan
so long will this country be the best bull
wark of the United States against the i'm
portation of the disease"

Lennard's Coat, However, Would Be
Useless in Action.

P. Cation, commanding Fort Columbus,

forty feet at it. The bullets buried them
selves in the material. but did not go
quite through, though they made Jumps on
the other side.
'Lennard's coat has effeetually resisted
the bullets; there is no doubt of that"
said Captain Cation. "But l can't see the
utility of the thing. They might as we'll
equip an army with metallic shields and
be done with it. You could not ges
soldiers to wear such coats in action"
