Japanese Troops Effect Landing Near
Chec Foo. 80

Japanese Troops Eject q Landing Near
| Chico Foo. -
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 29--Secretary
Gresham has received two cablegrams
| from United States Minister DENLY, at
Pekin, confirming the reports of the
landing OF Japanese troops near Chez
Foo. The first stated that Teng Chang
Flu was bombarded by three Japanese
ships, and that the American mis-
sionaries had left on the Yorktown.
The second states it is reported that
Teng Chang Flu, fifty miles north of
Chez Foo, was bombarded by the
Japanese, who had subsequently,
effected a landing on Shang Tung
promontory. This places the Japanese
in position between PelSin on the west
and the great fortress of Wei-Hai-Wei
on the east. 1t is believed a movement
will be made by land and sea upon the
latter place, just as at Port Arthur.

enemy to succeed him as viceroy.
Under his influence the emperor issued
the most extraordinary proclamation
calling for the heads of all the defeated
generals and admirals whom Lii Hung
Chang has been trying to shield or
whitewash. The proclamation con-
cludes after the Chinese fashion, the
emperor attributing the disasters to
the Chinese arms to himself, forhaving
elevated unworthy men. He says if
the worst comes to the worst, and the
enemy secures the sacred affairs, moth
ing remains but for the emperor to
perish there fighting. When the time
comes, he asks that the dowager en-
press be escorted westward and that a
worthy man be elected emperor to
wipe ont China's terrible disgrace.

1T Seems That War Is Now Inevitable.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 24.-After a
stormy cabinet meeting, President Diaz
notified Guatemala, through its minis
tiers, that he would not concede one
iota, and Guatemala would have to
give into Mexico's demand or suffer the
consequences. The other Central
American representatives here made
statement to President Diaz that
they understand Mexico is trying to
grasp Central American territory.
President Diaz denied the assertion
and stated that Mexico would have her
rights and the boundary lines be as
Mexico claims, and that Mexico had all
the TERRITORY She needed. 1t looks as
though the other Central American re-
publics We're behind Guatemala. All
the government students were march
ing on the streets with bands shouting
Viva Mexico" Viva Diaz,'' and 'sOn
to Guatemala ! They marched to the
palace twelve to fifteen thousand
strong, clamoring for war and pied ging
support to President Disz. All the
Mexican officers that have not been on
active duty, have been notified to re-
port for marching orders. Both coun-
tries Incorporating for war
Cry OF MEXICO, Jan. 25.-Gaute-
mala's answer has been received and
the minister of foreign affairs of Mex
leo presented it formally to the cabinet
and president to-day. Guatemala's
answer in brief is to the effect that the
territory disputed over belongs to her,
and if any indemnity is to be paid
Mexico owes it to Guatemala. The
prospects are that war will be declared

became known that a great number of

as for patrolmen and others who testi-
fed before the LeSow committee, or
whose names were brought before that

the indictments are for bribery.
