could consolidate Chinese opposition TO the

Operations in the War.
WASHINGTON, Aug. SIN speaking of
the probabilities Of the pending war be-
tween Japan and China, an official OF the
c.: Japanese legation recalled the fact that
the season Of the monsoon and the typhoon
is now rapidly approaching. The presence
Of the former is not regarded as a menace
ito sea-maneuvring, but fear is felt for the
latter. The typhoOn is a revolving wind
storm, whose effects are disastrous. ltis
believed by the officials of the legation
that the naval movements during the
typhoon season at least will be somewhat
circumscribed. The Chinese will not vent
ure a great distance from their coast, but
will keep close to port.
Japan, it is thought here, will wage an
aggressive war against China, and some
of her objective points in all probability
will be the Chinese ports. Already news has
reached here of high gales off the Chinese
coast that have compelled all craft but the
stancnest steamers to seek shelter in port.

typhoon sets in there is nothing to do but
to run from it. When vessels are not sunk
by the typhoon. they are frequently driven
far out of their course, so it will be seen
that naval operations between China and
japan are likely 10 be conducted at great
risk. For this reason the operations of
tine fleets will probably be restricted to a
