THE WARLIKE ORIENT.
The Latest From the Chinese
Japanese War.
The Japs Are Enthusiastic and Pro-
pose to Carry the War to the
Very Walls of Pekin.
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18.-The steam
ship China arrived this afternoon from
Asiatic ports. She brings Yokohoma
advices up to Aug. 6, two days later
than the news received at Victoria on
the Empress of Japan.
News advices continue however to be
of an unsatisfactory character. Wal
having been formally declared the
Chinese minister and consuls were pre-.
pairing, when the China sailed, to leave
Japan. The flag on the Chinese consul
ate at Yokohama had been hauled down
and the archives conveyed to the
United States consulate. 1t is also re-
ported that all Japanese officials were
hurriedlv leaving China.
The Japanese nation appears to be
affected with a mania for war. So
fierce is the public spirit for war that
the constitutional reform party is out
with manifesto declaring it to be the
duty of the japanese army to force its
way into China, to dictate terms OF
peace under the walls of the capital
and to display the glory of the Japanese
empire.
The constitutional reform party is the
wing of the opposition and is led by
such distinguished politicians as Kusu-
motto, president OF the last diet and
others of equal repute.
