kURINo TALKS.
A Most Significant Interview on the
Eastern Question.

Washington, April 26.-AIinister Kurino.
of Japan, today gave the Associated
Press very significant interview on the
eastern question. He said that in his
opinion the commercial interests of the
United Statesh in the east, particularly in
Japan, are. SO much more extensive and
important than those of Germany or
France; that it would be eIl1inently desir-
able, in the event of a Franco-Ger:nan al
lance with Russia to prevent the con-
United States to take active part,
Kurino wished it clearly early under Ter:
stood, however, that he had not re-
ment, and there had been no suggestion
OF ofheial or unofficial character from
him to the state department that
the United States would be enlisted
in its support. His views were the result
of his personal Information of the extent
of the United States interests in the east
would be if China's procrastination or
foreign interference prevented the ratifi-
cation of the peace agreement.
Then he replied, the war will be re-
newed on May Sth, with far more vigor
ard determination than before.
The commercial interests of the Uni
ted States, said Minister Kurino, ARE
very much greater in Japan than those of
Germany and France. Practically their
interests are little or nothing, while those
of the United States are very extensive
Inc brlllSn trade comes nrSt and after
that comes the trade OF the United
States. 1t would be eminently proper,
therefore, if the United States in consid-
Grafton of her superior commercial inter-
ests. should Offset a demonstration on the
part of France and Germany, if any such
move is actually made. I am not official
" informed that it has been made nor
am / apprehensive of the move, should il
be made. But in the event of its being
realized, then there is little doubt, in my
opinion, that the commercial interests of
the United States would make it expedi-
ent TO take part in the issue. This, Of
course, would not mean that the United
States was not to engage in a fight Its
cooperation would undoubtedly be effec-
tive without aQy radical stem"

A Difference OF Opinion.

Washington. April 26.-Up to late hour
tonight DR.. Guzman, the Nicaraguan mill
lister, had not received any dispatches
from his government indicating what. il
anything, had transpired in connection
with the British ultimatum. A difference
of opinion exists in diplomatic circles as
to the precise time at which the ultima
tum expires. some persons holding to the
belief that it expired last night at mid
night. while others contend that midnight
tonight marks the limit. From the cables
so far received by Dr. Guzman he is OF
the opinion that the limit of time was up
at midnight last night. but in the absence
of any later news he thinks that some
additional time, probably "a hours, has
been granted to Nicaragua within which
to make an answer. He is, however. in
the dark as TO what really has occurred.
The minister seems TO believe the mat
ter will be settled, but IN what manner
and on what terms he does not advance
an opinion.

Killed by Constable Near San
Diego, Cal.
San Diego, Cal, April 26.-James Smith,
a tramp, who has been working on a
ranch one mile from Delmar, a small
town near this city, was shot and in
stantly killed by Constable John Bud
worth while resisting arrest.
Smith came TO the ranch of Hugh a.
Fraser about a month ago and was given
work. The farmer and his wife, an
elderly couple, resided on the ranch alone.
Yesterday afternoon, during the absence
of Fraser, Smith went into the house
and made an improper proposal to Mrs.
Fraser. When ordered out of the house,
he assaulted Mrs. Fraser and attempted
to attain his object by, force. She fierce
more powerful, and in spite Of her strug-
giles and entreaties, was about to ac-
connplish his purpose. when as a last
resort in the hope that her asSailant
would desist. she promised to submit
to him at another time. Smith then
ceased his nefarious undertaking and
returned to work. Mrs. Fraser, as soon
as she saw her oportunitpy. left the
house and, rum. ssn to Delmar, notified he
authorities. Constable Bludworth and
a deputy went to the farm and found
a. shotgun and a dirk. He refused to
surrender and rushed to the attack with
the knife. The constable fired and
missed. AS Smith made another lunge
NO-N~~~
and Smith fell dead.
1t is said that Smith is slightly related
to Durrant, the medical student of San
Francisco, who is now undergoing pre-
Iiminary examination for the alleged
murder of Marian Williams, and VINO
is also suspected of having killed Blanche
Lamont in Emanuel Baptist church IN
that city, and he also resembles Durrant
in appearance. Smith had been reading
all the newspaper accounts that ne could
get hold of concerning the tragedy in
yoiving his relative, and he seemed to
have been greatly wrought up over the
affair He had become crank on the
subject

that France and Germany have far
deeper insight in commercial matters

favorably with the advances made by
either France of Germany. Nor is the

RUSSIA, FRANCE, GERMANY.
Exact Negotiations Between the
Powers and japan.

London, April 26.-Direct and positive
information from official sources is at
hand concerning the exact negotiations
between Russia, France and Germany on
one hand, and Japan on the other. The
Russian. French and German ministers
separately interviewed the Japanese min
lister for foreign affairs. under instruc-
tons from their respective governments,
and presented memorandums in which it
was stated that the governments of Rus
STA, France and Germany, upon examin-
ing the terms of peace imposed by Japan
upon China, have found that the posses
sion of the peninsula of Liza Tong. claimed
by Japan, would be a constant menace to
the capital of China, and at the same
time would threaten the independence of
Corea and render it non-effectual in fact.
In this sense. and for other reasons, it
would be, it was stated, a constant men
ace to the permanent peace of the far
East Consequently, the governments of
France, Russia and Germany, desiring to
show their sincere friendship for the gov
eminent of Japan, advises 1t to renounce
the absolute and final possession of the
peninsula of Lao Tong. The memoranda
of the three governments make it plain
that they were presented in the way of
friendly advice to the Japanese govern
ment, and are not intended in any way
to convey any open or covert menace
The impression is gaining ground that ia
pan can rely upon the friendly counsel of
the United States at the present moment.
The governments of Great Britain and
Italy have made it plain that they do not
intend to follow the example of Russia,
France and Germany. and the great COM
mercial interests of the United GATES In
the far East which the Japanest-Chinese
treaty of peace would largely benefit, no
less than the constant attitude of the
United States towards Japan, leads diplo-
mats to believe the United States at this
juncture will not fail 10 make use of its
good Offices in such a manner as will pre-
vent Japan from being deprived of the
fruits of her victory.
The treaty of peace has already been
ratified by the emperor of Japan, and il
would be extremely difficult to make any
change. The only effect of Russia,
France and Germanys attitude must be
to encourage the party in China, which is
opposed to any modern and reasonable
settlement. and thus to prolong the war
indefinitely. 1t may be stated IN the most
positive terms that the reports thus far
circulated regarding Japan's reply to the
powers, are not correct The reply had
not been sent as late as the evening of
the 26th and from intimations received
from the highest and most reliable
sources here, it may be stated that the
reply, while moderate and conciliatory in
tone. will not contain any recession from
what Japan regards as rightfully her due
