Frenzy of the Japanese.

LONDON, March 29.-The Nagasaki and
Pekin correspondents of the Times, in dis
patches published in that paper this morn
ing, comment on the war frenzy that per-
vades the Japanese people, and claim that
this shows the wisdom of the Chinese in
having wished to conduct peace negotiations
outside of Japan. Both correspondents add
that Gustave Detring and the other Chi
nese peace ENJOYS were attacked while
they were in Japan, though the assaults
on them were less serious than the one on
Ii Hung Chang. The ENJOYS maintained
silence in regard to the attacks in order to
avoid embittering the situation.
