No Advice at Washington


WASHINGTON, July 2l-The rumor that
war had been declared between China and
Japan found no official confirmation at
the state department, which naturally
would BE- quickly advised of an event of
this impor ance by Minister Dunn at
Toxic. Still the belief IS general IN gov
eminent circles that the situation IS very
critical, aud it would not surprise the IN if
IL appeared that the report is only prema-
1Qre. Consequently there Is already some
speculation as TO the outcome of conflict
between these two popuious nations.
Probably the war would begin a sea, and
IL is thought in naval circles that at the
start the japanese would have the advan-
tage owing to the fact that their vessels
are in condition for immediate service.
But as ii stands, the two nations are nearly
even in the naval strength.
The Chinese lazy consists of thirty ves-
sells, but many of these are small and obsO-
lete in type. There are five very effective
armored ships built within the last twelve
years, four being Observation-Disclosures
King Yuen, Lai-yuen and Ting-yuen and
one, Ping yuen, coast defense ship.
There is also an armed wooden gun-Doat
,-Tien-sing These vessels are armed
with Krupp guns, the Chen-yuen of T. 40
tons, carrying twelve inch rifles. There
are nineteen cruisers carrying Armstrong
and krUpp guns, two torpedo cruisers and
several small gun vessels.
The japanese navy consists of thirty-twO
vessels of all kinds, including five armOred
ships-the Flu 500, Ii VI, kon Go. Rio 10
and Tschio Da. These range in
tonnage from 1850 TO 1900 and
armed with Krupp guns lighter
than the Chinese battleships carry.
There are fourteen cruisers of good size
end well armed with krupp and Canet,
seven gun vessels of small tonnage, three
coast defense ships with twelve-inch
French rifles and a half dozen Corvettes
and a lew training ships But this balance
of resources does not extend to the army,
iu which China has All enormous advan-
tage in numbers. In times of peace,
China's army numbers 300, 900 to Japan's
73,0O0 bur on a war footing the Chinese
strength is 100000 men, while the
japanese forces under like conditions
number only 100000 with $500 mounted
police.
In view of these figures military experts
here believe that while Japan might OBJ
tain a temporary advantage IN the early
stages of war with China, she would
be very likely to be ultimately over
Hhelmed by sheer force of numbers.

THE REFORMS DEMANDED.

No spec ific statement of the reforms de-
sired has been received as yet at the jap
anese legation here. but their general tenor
is known and they include changes in the
system of taxation and the removal of re-
strictlOus that now exists on the cTade. At
this time, 1t is said al the legation. the az
ricultural ard mechanical interests of
COrea are absolutely subject to the within
of local officials who have IL III their power
To make arbitrary regulations that cause
trouble aud frequently popular uprisings.
The fiscal methods of the country are said
to need radical reforms. Japan does the
banking business of tue country and the
government is frequently called upon to
press the CoreanS for money due the
japanese, and which It is asserted
should be easily collected by the
courts. Japan also wants the Corean
Judiciary system reformed, as under that
now in vogue cruel and unusual punish
menJ is inflicted and inquisitorial methods
prevail to the injury OF japanese business
men. The japanese, furthermore, want
assurances of greater liberty and safety of
travel thrOughOt COrea.
Japanese newspapers received et the le-
cation here recently show with but few eX-
cepJiOns COucensus Of editorial opinion
favorable TO the att Uude assumed by the
government in the pending controversy.
At the tOreau legation the minister was
shown a copy OF the dispatch. The minis
ter does not speak English, but throu .h

had not the right 10 interfere with the in
terEaI affairs of the country. No recent
telegraphic information has been received
at the legation from COrea.
\ diplomat. who IS familiar with the
troubles existing between Japan and
China, today called attention to the fact
that in the note which the latter country
sent TO Japan notifying her that she
(China) had sent troops TO COrea, China
said, in effect, that il had sent assistance
to their tributary state.
This, the diplomat referred 10 said was

by the japanese government are said to be
to the following effect:
That it Is out OF ne question that both
Japan and China should cooperate, either
with regard To the suppression of the
rebels on a reform o. political affairs, rail-
way manage meut, etc, 50 - to make
COrea purely independent country, which

later with the Chinese minister
1t is announced also that the japanese
have demanded of the Corean government
that both home administration and diplO-
matte affairs should be extensively re-
formed; that communication aud trans

that as the protection of Japanese resi-
dents is most necessary in bringing about

How He Is HarpoOned and Then Finished
With Cold Lead.
Arnold Pike tells of o walrus hunt in
Bird bay, to the north of Spitzbergen.
The bay was full Of fast ice, but east
ward the sea was fairly open, and the
hunter was rowing slowly back to the
sloop when the harpooner suddenly laid
aside his glass and headed the boat for
q black mass which the mirage magni-
Ged into the size of a small house, but
which was really a walrus.
t'The walrus raises his head, and we
are motionless, " says Mr.. Pike. 1T is
intensely still, and the scraping of a
piece of ice along the boat seems like
the roar of q railway train passing over
aead on some bridge. Down goes the
head, and we glide forward again. The
walrus is uneasy. Again and again he
raises his head and looks around with a
quick motion, but we have thasun right
at our back, and he notices us.
At last we are within a few feet, and

COUNT YAMAGATA. fore lacking in
patriotism. Japan, on the other hand,
has all the vigor of youth and a newly
reorganized nation. Her people are unit
ed and enthusiastic and her army dis
ciplined and trained up to the European
standard. As LII Hung Chang bears the
disgrace in China, so Japan's most hon.
ored official is Field Marshal Count va.
magata Arikomo, who won the great
victory recently at Ping Yang.
1t is no exaggeration to call him the
Won Moltke of Japan. He is AZ years
old, tall for q japanese and Of slender
figure. His origin was quite humble, as
his father was of a caste which, in ia
pans feudal times, could not win high
rank. All that is NOW done away with,
and democratic policies prevail. Count
Yamagata has been in service OF military
Office since boyhood. His military edu-
cation was completed in Europe. and
before attaining his majority he COM
manded IN army successfully. In 1864,
when the government was in a transi-
ton state, the shotgun, then the ruling
power, sent 90, 900 men to chastise the
feudal lord of the Chosin province, but
with only 1000 men Count Yamagata
defeated and scattered the 90, 900 before
they reached Chosin.
In all the of the revolutionary
period he took an active part, and aft
er the complete suppression of all rebel
lions against the new government he
was made chief of staff of the Japanese
army. In 1890 he was made prime min
lister, but. retired in May, 1891, when
the parliamentary system Of govern
ment was fully introduced. EARLY in
the recent campaignhe was sent tocom-
mand in Korea, where he has shown re-
markable ability. OF the four Japanese
field marshals he is the only one not OF
princely birth.
