IN JAPANESE MONEY CIRCLES.
Banks Suspend, Loans and Deposits
Are Being Withdrawn.

SAN FRANCISCO, August GA panic
Is feared in japanese financial circles on &C.
count of the Corean imbroglio. say the jap
aEese papers. The banks have suspended
their loans, while deposits are fast being
withdrawn. Capitalists are unwilling to IN
vest, as they expect to have an opportunity
of making large profits through the panic
The money market IS now very stiff. This
condition is due to the belief that the pres
ert will be far greater and more expen-
eive than the Satsuma rebellion.
One paper says the finances were then
quite disorganlzed. But now they have
been organized to such an extent that there
is q surplus in the treasury. The surplus
alone amounts to about s340OO.0OO. 1t will
not be difficult next to issue S25,OO0,OOO Of
convertible notes, Thus the expenditure
Of sos, co., 600 would not have much effect
on financial circles.
Already popular subscriptions have been
opened in Japan to raise money for the
support of the troops in Corea and also
to provide for the families of reserve SOL
diers who have been called into service.
In many cases these families are left des-
titute, as the money supply has stopped.

PRESERVING NEUTRALITY.
England Preventing a Repetition o
the Alabama Affair.

the Alabama AFFAIR.
LONDON, August 2O.-The Globe this af-
ternoon applauds the government for act
ing with vigor in preventing a violation Of
the enlistment act, saying: 1T Is plain that
it does not intend to allow another Ala
bama to be fitted out. We were very sore
about the Alabama decision, yet there is
no doubt that 1t was. in principle, perfectly
right"
The London Globes commentator Of the
government was caused by the fact that it
ordered the customs officers at New Castle,
England, to seize, under the foreign en-
hstment act, a torpedo catcher built at the
Elswick works for China, and to detain
that vessel until she is condemned or re-
leased by process Of law.
The foreign enlistment act makes 1t a
misdemeanor to assist foreign state at
war with a friendly state by enlisting in
its service or by supplying 1t with war ves-
sells or warlike stores.
The secretary of state for foreign affairs
has ordered the customs authorities at
Glasgow to seize the ship Islam, which Is
being fitted out there for either China or
japan.
