Easy Warfare for the Japs.

Japan 6aZetle.
As might have been expected, the col
umns Of the japanese papers are teeminS
with interviews and conversations with
military officers who have just returned
from the front after the nine months
campaign in Manchuria- Adventurous ex-
ploits undertaken, hairbreadth escapes eff
fected and severe hardship suffered are
the principal subject OF stories. Marshal
Nodzu Is quoted by a contemporary TO
have remarked to a military officer who
called on the gallant marshal the other
day to pay compliment on his safe re-
turn TO Tokyo in the following fashion:
1.-THE late war" the marshal said, was
like chiid's pay, even the war of the Sat-
surna rebellion was far severer than that
from which we have just managed TO
emerge so cheaply. In the battle OF Ia
warazaka" he continued, there were
over 1000 killed and wounded on our side
in one day, but the case was vastly differ
ent in China: throughout the whole cam
paign there were scarcely 500 killed in AL.
I have never slept night IN the open air,
and I always found Chinese houses, IN
convenient and uncomfortable as they
were nevertheless enough to shelter us
from the snow and frost. I used to warn
my men that such was not a real war, but
a sort of military promenade. In spite OF
these facts" the doughty marshal con-
cluded, I'VE are receiving a number OF ova-
tons from all sides for which we cannot
helm bluShing"

A FIRE HORSE KILLED
The Team Of Engine Company
No. 6 Runs Away.
CoLLlDINo WITH NO. a's WAGON
Lucky Escape Of the Firemen-The Ac-
cident Due to the shorthand
edness of No. 6.

Two hose wagons belonging to the FIRE
department collided on Yesler avenue
near Rose street at 1910 o'clock this morn
ing and one of the horses belonging to
No. company. was killed. There were
several men on No. SIS wagon, but all
miraculously escaped injury.
The companies were called out at 1928
by still alarm from Hyde street and
Yesler avenue. occasioned by blaze in a.
small shack in that vicinity. Company
No. 6, whose house is on the corner of
Yesler and Taylor, responded quickly and
soon had line out and a stream on the
fire
The company was short-handed on ac-
count OF the reduction recently made in
the department by order of the city coun-
Gil, and Charley Haight, driver of the
wagon, and one OF the oldest men IN the
department, left his team on the corner
and helped get stream on the fire. While
he was in the building his team took
fright and started down the hill on a run.
No. 3s wagon, which was on its way
to the fire from its house on Main street,
met the runaway team near Rose street.
and before Charles Murray, the driver,
had time to get out OF the way, the run
Always crashed into his wagon and spilled
every one out. The men hurriedly extri-
Gated the horses and found that the
tongue Of one of the wagons had entered
the breast OF one of the horses OF No. IS
wagon and injured him 50 that he had to
be killed.
Chief Cook was about two blocks below
No. going to the fire. when the accident
took place. He helped straighten things
out and continued on TO the shack. On
the way he met Driver Haight running
down the hill looking for his team, which
had disappeared while he was helping at
the fire.
Chief Cook was seen at headquarters af-
ter the thing was over. and said 1T was one
OF those unavoidable accidents That are
liable to happen at almost any time, espe-
cially II company is short-handed. He
said Haight and Murray were two of the
best drivers in the department, and at
tached no blame to either OF them, He
was very sorry the accident had happened
so soon after his appointment, but was
glad no harm had come TO any of the men.
The horse, which was one OF the finest
in the department. was a chestnut sorrel
known as Frank, and valued at $50. The
tongues on both the wagons were broken
but otherwise no damage was done.
1t could not be learned who owned the
burned shack. The damage was slight
and win probably not amount to more
than so.

WALLER SICK In JAIL.
France Seems to Hold United
States in Contempt.
ENERGETIC ACTION NEEDED.
State Department Asked Eustfs to See
the Prisoner. but the French
Would Not Allow It.


Washington City. July 22--The negotia-
tons with the French government re-
specting the case of ex-United States
Consul Waller under confinement in
French jail, are in q most unsatisfactory
shape, II is becoming evident that If my
thing is to be accomplished IL will be only
by the display OF a much more determined
stand than has yet been assumed by our
government. Letters received here from
the prisoner show that he is still very
sick man. Many prominent men have IN
terested themselves in the case. The two
senators from Kansas, OF which state
Waller is resident. have been particu-
larry energetic.
The department some days ago instruct
ed Mr.. Eustis to see Waller and to pro-
cure copy OF the record of the court
martial showing the evidence on which he
was convicted. The French government
has absolutely refused to the ambassador
the right 10 see Waller personally. very
extraordinary attitude to Assume where
the rights of an American citizen are con-
cerned 1t has failed so far to supply ne
ambassador with the desired copy OF the
courtNnartial record. 1t Is said by Wal
ler's friends here that altogether me pro-
ceedings were extremely irregular and a
travesty upon justice.
